August 2007

Do not make stuff up

First warning - please don't include inaccurate information.

This is regarding this edit - there is no such thing as half a named storm. The official NOAA number is 10, not 9, nor 9.5. A "named storm" is defined as a cyclone that meets NHC warning criteria and has winds of at least tropical storm-force.

Also, regarding storm activity (Chantal) - when the last advisory is issued by the NHC (as is now the case - the last advisory was issued 12 hours ago) it is considered dissipated as a tropical cyclone. The graphic says 15% dissipation because Chantal is still alive as an extratropical cyclone. – Chacor 14:25, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Second warning - NHC is the RSMC and Chantal never reached hurricane strength. Find out the proper facts before accepting false data. CHC issued a corrected advisory just minutes after their incorrect advisory. Very obvious clue from the 0557 advisory: "MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE ESTIMATED AT 45 KNOTS". Hurricanes are of 64 kt or more. – Chacor 17:15, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
I agree, please be more careful. There are dozens of people working on the page. If you are unsure at all, please wait, as if there are any noteworthy changes, someone else will address it. Hurricanehink (talk) 17:21, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Look at it this way, if it had indeed been upgraded to a hurricane we would've changed it as soon as it happened. Also, NHC is official, it doesn't matter what the CHC says. – Chacor 17:30, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Venus' fate

I thought in the future Venus is unlikely to swallowed up,since the sun's loss of mass will gradually push the planet outward by 7.5 Gyrs Venus will have escaped to 1.2 AU. It is common sense that although Venus is not swallowed up, it's surface will be semi-molten. It's greenhouse atmoshere will have long been boiled away and its rock will melt. Such website as Planetary Nebulae and Future of Our Solar System and some others still uncertain whether Earth will survive or be engulfed. Freewayguy 22:13, 2 August 2007 (UTC)HPShu789194

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Elonka 2

Thank you for your support in my Request for Adminship. Unfortunately the nomination did not succeed, but please rest assured that I am still in full support of the Wikipedia project, and I'll try again in a few months! If you ever have any questions or suggestions for me, please don't hesitate to contact me. Best wishes, --Elonka 07:04, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Don't create silly redirects

Please don't create silly redirects, no one will search for "Wikipedia:Red admin" in the search box. Nor will people search for "Wikipedia:Rouge sysop". Wikipedia:Rouge admin is linked to humorously, no one will intentionally search for it, let alone plays on the words. "Rouge" is used as a play on "rogue" and on communism, so "red" doesn't really fit. – Chacor 01:59, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

WP:BIO

Your recently-created articles Kim MacDonald and Nneka Elliott don't assert notability, and may meet criteria for speedy deletion. Could you please assert their notability (I notice their articles also fail WP:BIO), or I'll AFD them. – Chacor 14:42, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

We're all having issues at the moment, it's not just you, don't worry. Server issues, big time. Yes, I won't deny I've been looking at your contribs. But these articles assert no notability. How are they notable? Have they won awards? There are no sources except one from the company they work for. That appears to fail WP:BIO. Cheers, – Chacor 15:41, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Look

No offence, but if you're really trying for WP:RFA soon, you need to stop making edits like these which contravene Wikipedia policy. You cannot cite a TV show - find an actual source or do not add it. – Chacor 14:26, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Also. Forgive me if this turns into a rant. But can you please use smarter edit summaries? Clearly no-one "just comes upon" a page, article, image or whatever - you have to intentionally click a link from another page, unless you use Special:Random. That's not "just coming upon" a page. – Chacor 14:31, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Unsourced info

Again, do not add information that you happened to "[hear] on the news" unless you have a valid reference for it. – Chacor 14:50, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
