Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Tropical Storm Yun-yeung, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Aon. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Your GA nomination of Tropical Storm Yun-yeung

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Tropical Storm Yun-yeung you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Hurricanehink -- Hurricanehink (talk) 22:41, 30 June 2024 (UTC)

Sorry to let you know, but I had to fail the GAN for Tropical Storm Yun-yeung. The article is on the short side, and there were some basic problems that prevented me from passing it as a good article, namely the lack of local sources, and enough forms of impact justifying the notability for the storm. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 06:38, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Mr. Zumakpeh’s Biography

The section I have added to Mr. Zumakpeh’s biography is accurate and sourced. Why do you keep reverting it? Josiah Nterful (talk) 03:12, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Some of these sources have dubious quality. Additionally, as his assistant, you hae a conflict of interest and should refrain from editing the article. OhHaiMark (talk) 10:58, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
Let me reiterate that I am not his assistant and do not have a conflict of interest-nothing in the section I have added suggest that. My intension is simply to contribute to provide Wikipedia with accurate information about Mr. Zumakpeh; the initial information is not entirely true.
Again, every information I have put forth is true, and the sources (neutral sites) give a definitive explanation of same. The initial sources are not extraordinary.
People trust Wikipedia for reliable information, so it is imperative to furnish the site with accurate data. I think that should be our concern. Josiah Nterful (talk) 19:33, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Your page move request

Please be aware that names of Wikipedia articles about places in the United States are governed by WP:USPLACE, which states that such names are typically in the form of "Place name, State name". The only exceptions currently allowed under that guideline are major cities for which the AP Stylebook specifically states that state names are not needed. Fort Myers, Florida, is not on that list of exceptions, and your move request was not non-controversial. Any exceptions to the USPLACE naming convention other than one using the AP Stylebook must receive consensus for the exception as the result of a sufficiently wide discussion. Donald Albury 20:00, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Hey there, you don't need to have your own draft space for that season. You're allowed, and in fact, encouraged to edit and expand the article! I would suggest that any non-named storms should go into one big "Other systems" section, which could include any JMA/JTWC/PAGASA/other depressions. It's going to be time consuming, but working on a season article is a very useful undertaking! I would consider the ultimate goal of the WPTC is to get every season article in every basin to good/featured article status. It'll take a while, one article at a time, so if you did this one, that would only be one of only 16 good typhoon season articles. Further, you could get the 1980 PTS to good topic status, since all of the storm articles that season are already GA's. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:49, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

So Dom wouldn't be listed only as a typhoon, because it's actually stronger than that, hence why the infobox lists "Very strong typhoon (JMA)". Does that make sense? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:00, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Well, the thing is that, turns out the JTWC actually held responsibility in the basin at that time, meaning I was trying to swap the template, which works by assuming that the JMA holds responsibility for the basin. However, if you see the edit which I just saved, it doesn't show the JMA modifier.[1] OhHaiMark (talk) 17:04, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
So I don't think you should be swapping the template. The JMA is now the official RSMC, and has been for a while, so their database is the official historic record, as far back as it goes. You can and should include the JTWC winds in the infobox, but that is an American military department, and shouldn't be seen as some official weather agency. The English Wikipedia is not the American Wikipedia. It's important to cover international events as neutral as possible, which means deferring to the RSMC more often than not. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:35, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

The biggest thing you need to do is rewrite the article so it's not all focused on the JTWC. For example, Carmen's section starts with the JTWC monitoring it as a depression, but honestly it works just as well saying that Carmen originated within a near-equatorial trough, along with Wally in the SPAC. Make sure you don't use knots in the article. It should be km/h with mph in parenthesis. Make sure all of the storms have track maps, like the current 1980 PTS article. The biggest thing in the article is giving impact sections to each storm, especially the ones without an article. Like Dom, it's a good start mentioning the number of damaged houses, but it needs more. You might need to use the newspaper archive so you can get news stories, as some impact information might not be available online. Do you know how to use your Wikipedia user name to get free access to newspaper archives? Check out Wikipedia:Newspapers.com. Lastly, the other storms section shouldn't be in bullet points, it should be listed as individual paragraphs. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:30, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

My account isn't six months old yet so I can't access it yet. OhHaiMark (talk) 09:24, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
Also, I only included the bullet points as those were present in all modern articles on typhoon seasons. OhHaiMark (talk) 09:38, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
OK, you should still be able to find information online from various databases. Digital Typhoon often has info on Japanese storms. Make sure you add track maps back in, I'm not sure why they're missing. Do you know how to use Google to find info? For example, I googled ["Typhoon Ditang" 1980] and found some good info for the storm, like this source. Try varieties like that. Hope that helps. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:59, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
  1. ^ It does Very Strong Typhoon instead of Very Strong Typhoon (JMA).

Your GA nomination of Tropical Storm Yun-yeung

The article Tropical Storm Yun-yeung you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Tropical Storm Yun-yeung for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article.

What happened?

Hello, I noticed that you reverted my edit. I am an old school editor and back in my day we had the latest info for a hurricane. I mean if someone went to an article to find the latest info, they would be discouraged and go to the NHC for the latest information. Sorry if it is like "Old editor yells at cloud" thing, but that is what I am used to. Felicia (talk) 13:45, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, due to an ANI thread, village dump thread, and this, it's now discouraged. Additionally, the former templates have also been deleted as they were a violation of WP:NOTNEWS and MOS:CURRENT. OhHaiMark (talk) 13:52, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
I'll keep that in note. It will take me some adjusting. I won't make another mistake now that I know. Felicia (talk) 14:07, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

2005 Atlantic hurricane season

Hey there OhHaiMark. I was glad to see that you might be interested in working on the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season topic. You did a good job working on Yun-yeung, so I wondered if you might be interested working on Tropical Storm Tammy (2005)? I proposed merging a flood article in with Tammy, so there's a bit of work that needs to get done there. Otherwise, what did you have in mind? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:08, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

OhHaiMark again, just wanted to check about the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season topic. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:13, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

PD-NWS Violations Update #1

I am providing members of the WikiProject of Weather along with users who frequently edit weather-related articles an update to the discussions regarding the PD-NWS image copyright template.

For starters, no "formal" administrative-style rules have occurred. All that means is the template is not formally deprecated and is still in use. However, Rlandmann, an administrator on English Wikipedia, has begun an undertaking of reviewing and assessing all images (~1,400) that use the PD-NWS copyright template.

What we know:

  • Following email communications, the National Weather Service of Sioux Falls has removed their disclaimer, which has been used for the PD-NWS template for decades. This means, as far as the National Weather Service is concerned, the following statement is no longer valid: By submitting images, you understand that your image is being released into the public domain. This means that your photo or video may be downloaded, copied, and used by others. Currently, the PD-NWS template links to an archived version of the disclaimer. However, the live version of the disclaimer no longer contains that phrase.
  • See this deletion discussion for this point's information. NWS Paducah (1) failed to give attribution to a photographer of a tornado photograph, (2) placed the photo into the public domain without the photographer explicitly giving them permission to do so (i.e. the photo is not actually in the public domain), (3) and told users to acknowledge NWS as the source for information on the webpage. Oh, to note, this photographer is a magistrate (i.e. a judge). So, the idea of automatically trusting images without clear attribution on weather.gov are free-to-use is in question.
  • The Wikimedia Commons has a process known as precautionary principle, where if their is significant doubt that an image is free-to-use, it will be deleted. Note, one PD-NWS file has been deleted under the precautionary principle. The closing administrator remarks for the deletion discussion were: "Per the precautionary principle, there is "significant doubt" about the public domain status of this file (4x keep + nominator, 5x delete), so I will delete it."
  • Several photographs/images using the PD-NWS are currently mid-deletion discussion, all for various reasonings.
  • As of this message, 250 PD-NWS images have been checked out of the ~1,400.
  • The photograph of the 1974 Xenia tornado (File:Xenia tornado.jpg) was found to not be in the public domain. It is still free-to-use, but under a CC 2.0 license, which requires attribution. From April 2009 to August 2024, Wikipedia/Wikimedia was incorrectly (and by definition, illegally) using the photograph, as it was marked incorrectly as a public domain photograph.

Solutions:
As stated earlier, there is no "formal" rulings, so no "formal" changes have been made. However, there is a general consensus between editors on things which are safe to do:

  • Images made directly by NWS employees can be uploaded and used under the new PD-USGov-NWS-employee template (Usage: {{PD-USGov-NWS-employee}} ). This is what a large number of PD-NWS templated images are being switched to.
  • Images from the NOAA Damage Assessment Toolkit (DAT) can be uploaded and used under the PD-DAT template (Usage: {{PD-DAT}} ). A large number of images are also being switched to this template.

For now, you are still welcome to upload images under the PD-NWS template. However, if possible it is recommended using the two templates above. I will send out another update when new information is found or new "rulings" have been made. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 03:37, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi there, regarding this edit, I wanted to make sure you knew the proper source, for the future. That kind of information can be found in the National Climatic Data Center Storm events database - here - just enter the state and the time period, and you can get the individual reports. That way you can get a good working link, rather than relying on deadlinks from old Wikipedia articles (which might be in need of updating). ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:52, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

PD-NWS Violations Update #2 (Key To Read Third Section)

I am providing members of the WikiProject of Weather along with users who frequently edit weather-related articles an new update (2nd update) to the discussions regarding the PD-NWS image copyright template.

On the Commons, an RFC discussion is taking place to figure out how to manage the template. No "formal" administrative-style rules have occurred, so nothing has changed. That is not a surprise as the RFC is still ongoing.

What is new?

  • The entire Template:PD-NWS has been placed inside a "License Review" template, which is viewable via the link aforementioned.
  • Most of the photographs which were uploaded to the Commons originally under the PD-NWS template (approximately 1,500) have been reviewed. Out of those ~1,500 images, only about 150 are requiring additional looks. Most images have been verified as free-to-use and switched to a respective, valid template.
  • As of this moment, approximately 50 photos have been nominated for deletion (results pending).
  • A handful of images have been deleted (either confirmed copyrighted or under the Commons precautionary principle.
  • One image has been kept following a deletion request under the PD-NWS template.

How to deal with new photos?

Given all of this, you might be wondering how the heck you use weather photos while creating articles? Well, here is what you can do!

What about third-party photos?

In the case of third-party photos...i.e. ones not taken by the National Weather Service themselves...there is an option which was discussed and confirmed to be valid from an English Wikipedia Administrator.

  • KEY: Third party images of tornadoes & weather-related content can potentially be uploaded via Wikipedia's Non-Free Content Guidelines!
  • Experiments/testing has been done already! In fact, I bet you couldn't tell the difference, but the tornado photograph used at the top of the 2011 Joplin tornado was already switched to a Non-Free File (NFF)! Check it out: File:Photograph of the 2011 Joplin tornado.jpeg! That photo's description can also be used as a template for future third-party tornado photographs uploaded to Wikipedia...with their respective information replaced.
  • NFFs can be uploaded to multiple articles as well!
  • The absolute key aspect of NFFs is that they relate to the article and are not decoration. For example with the Joplin tornado, the photograph: (1) shows the size of the tornado, (2) shows the "wall of darkness", which was described by witnesses, (3) shows a historic, non-repeatable event of the deadliest tornado in modern U.S. history. The exact reasoning does not have to be extremely specific as Wikipedia's NFF guidelines "is one of the most generous in the world" (words of Rlandmann (not pinged), the administrator reviewing all the PD-NWS template images).
  • Tornado photographs will almost certainly qualify under the NFF guidelines, especially for tornadoes with standalone articles or standalone sections.
  • NFFs cannot be used when a free-photograph is available, no matter the quality, unless the section is about that specific photograph. For example, the photograph used at the top of the 2013 Moore tornado article is confirmed to be free-to-use, therefore, no NFFs of that tornado can be uploaded on Wikipedia. However, the "Dead Man Walking" photograph could almost certainly be uploaded as an NFF to the 1997 Jarrell tornado article as that photograph is the topic of a section in the article.
  • NFFs currently on Wikipedia can and should be placed in this category: Category:Non-free pictures of tornadoes.

Update Closing

Hopefully all of that information kept you informed on the Commons copyright discussion process and how you can still create the best articles possible! If you have a question about something mentioned above, reply back and I will do my best to answer it! Also, ping me in the process to ensure I see it! Have a good day!
