Storm Colour template

When I was editing User:OhHaiMark/1980 Pacific typhoon season, I noticed that when I subsituted the values of the template on the section for Typhoon Dom, it didn't mention the warning center. Normally, it does something like Typhoon (JMA), but it doesn't seem like that's the case. OhHaiMark (talk) 16:56, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alert: PD-NWS Violations

This is an alert being sent to all active editors on the WikiProject of Weather and any editor who has recently editors weather-related articles.

Editors on the Commons have received communication from the National Weather Service that the Template:PD-NWS, which is often used to upload weather-related images, is incorrect. There will be a discussion starting on the Commons Copyright Noticeboard within the next few days to determine how to manage this issue. Under the current PD-NWS copyright template, images on any NWS webpage was considered to be in the public domain unless it had a direct copyright symbol and/or copyright watermark.

One National Weather Service office has confirmed this is not the case. For the next few days, it may be best to not upload any image from an NWS webpage that was not made or taken directly by the National Weather Service themselves. Once the Commons determine how to move forward, editors will recent a new alert. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 23:41, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am going to append this additional warning to @WeatherWriter‘s message: the National Weather Service emailed @Rlandmann today and clarified that the upload process does NOT automatically release a photo/video into the public domain. I strongly advise you not to upload anything under a PD-NWS tag unless it is specifically produced by the weather service. West Virginia WXeditor (talk) 04:25, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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) 03:28, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I will add that there are a couple other safe templates such as PD-NEXRAD for radar images; and also the generic PD-USGov and PD-USGov-NOAA templates. West Virginia WXeditor (talk) 05:40, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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!

Sharpie

Hello Hurricanehink! I have to admit I don't know exactly what I'm doing as I have only started adding to wikipedia. I have a weird love for sharpies and noticed that the page didn't talk about specific colors or where they come from (certain colors are discontinued or only come in certain packs). I don't want to be a bother but I added a bunch to this page and it was reverted by another user. At first glance they hadn't said anything, just simply reverted my input. I had to ask them why and they gave me attitude and really no explanation for the revert. So I added my information again....to have the same user revert my stuff again. I don't understand because I sourced my work. Once looking at this user's talk page I realized he does this to many people, on many different subjects. He thinks he's wikipedia king, the end all be all if you will. Many people on the page are asking for the information I provided, I truly don't get if this is my fault or the user who feels they would like to revert anything added by another person. I don't know if I should open a dispute resolution or ask for a protection for my items, as stated previously I don't completely understand how all of this works. Thank you in advance for all that you do. Thegoldengen (talk) 04:24, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge of Hurricane Beatriz

I'm not sure if you noticed, but JayTee32 recently boldly merged Hurricane Beatriz. I just wanted to ask whether this was fair or if there should have been a merge discussion for this, because prior to the merge I believed that there was enough information on Beatriz for it to stay as an article.

Thanks, Shmego2 (talk) 00:21, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Shmego2 If you disagree with my actions then you can discuss them on my talk page or we can move it to a community discussion on the 2023 Pacific hurricane season talk page. I don't see why you went to an uninvolved administrator without discussing my own edits with me first. JayTee⛈️ 14:22, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Shmego Tagging your main acct as well. JayTee⛈️ 14:23, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
JayTee32 (talk · contribs) I saw nothing wrong with your edits. I let Shmego2 know about the bold, revert, discuss cycle. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:50, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JayTee32 I apologize. I haven't really seen a merge like that and I was unaware of this policy. I only asked Hurricanehink because he is an experienced editor who I know. Once again, I apologize for the inconvenience.
Shmego2 (talk) 22:07, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just address me directly next time you wish to talk about my edits, I'm always open to discussion. JayTee⛈️ 16:30, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

One of your edits

While searching through the history of the 1967 Pacific typhoon season to improve my draft on it, I found revision 29387684, an edit of yours which stated where Clara originated from. If you remember, could you tell me where that came from? Tavantius (talk) 19:37, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Tavantius (talk · contribs) - almost all of my edits from that article came from the JTWC annual report for 1967 - link here. If you look on page V-31 (just click on Clara in the Table of Contents), you can see where they describe the origins of the storm. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:47, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The 2024 WikiCup has come to an end, with the final round being a very tight race. Our new champion is AirshipJungleman29 (submissions), who scored 2,283 points mainly through 3 high-multiplier FAs and 3 GAs on military history topics. By a 1% margin, Airship beat out last year's champion, Delaware BeanieFan11 (submissions), who scored second with 2,264 points, mainly from an impressive 58 GAs about athletes. In third place, Generalissima (submissions) scored 1,528 points, primarily from two FAs on U.S. Librarians of Congress and 20 GAs about various historical topics. Our other finalists are: Sammi Brie (submissions) with 879 points, Canada Hey man im josh (submissions) with 533 points, BennyOnTheLoose (submissions) with 432 points, Arconning (submissions) with 244 points, and Christmas Island AryKun (submissions) with 15 points. Congratulations to our finalists and all who participated!

The final round was very productive, and contestants had 7 FAs, 9 FLs, 94 GAs, 73 FAC reviews, and 79 GAN reviews and peer reviews. Altogether, Wikipedia has benefited greatly from the activities of WikiCup competitors all through the contest. Well done everyone!

All those who reached the final will receive awards and the following special awards will be made, based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, these prizes are awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round, or in the event of a tie, to the overall leader in this field.

Next year's competition will begin on 1 January. You are invited to sign up to participate; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors, and we hope to see you all in the 2025 competition.

Concern regarding a death estimate

Hello Hink,

I wanted to ask for some help verifying a death estimate for a EPac storm. I was doing some research on 1988's Hurricane Kristy, a storm which appears to have caused significant deadly flooding and was building a draft article in my sandbox. In 2014, @Cyclonebiskit made an edit claiming 21 direct deaths had been due to the hurricane (which was the primary reason I decided to look into making an article for it), but the source he provided had no direct link, and I can't find the article he referenced anywhere online or in newspaper archives.

The reason I'm coming to you is because Cyclonebiskit appears to have gone inactive for almost a year now, so I can't ask him to provide the source for me, and I wanted a more experienced editor to look for the source for a quick couple minutes in case I missed something. If you can find it anywhere, let me know. If not I plan to remove the source and delete the draft, as I feel uneasy about the potentially inaccurate death toll having gone unnoticed for over 10 years now. Here's a courtesy link to Kristy's section, the source is FN59. JayTee⛈️ 06:54, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A Barnstar for you. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Talk:Hurricane Rafael (2024)/GA1

A tag has been placed on Talk:Hurricane Rafael (2024)/GA1 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a recently created redirect from an implausible typo or misnomer, or other unlikely search term.

This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

Your draft article, Draft:List of Texas hurricanes

Hello, Hurricanehink. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "List of Texas hurricanes".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 22:56, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FLC

Howdy, HH! Many years ago, you offered some feedback at an ultimately unsuccessful FLC that I posted. Over the last few months, I've been fixing up the timeline of the 2004 Pacific hurricane season, and I recently re-nominated it for the bronze star. Totally up to you, but considering your involvement in the previous FLC, I'd appreciate if you had any feedback for round 2. Dylan620 (he/him • talk • edits) 20:02, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Re: A barnstar for you!

@Hurricanehink: Many thanks for the recognition! As an aside, I also rewrote this old article of mine, that I wish to make a GA. Does it seem worthy, or is more needed? Is there a way to nominate it? CapeVerdeWave (talk) 11:46, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hurricanehink: On another note, when reviewing 1873 AHS, I forgot not to manually enter the GA icon. Is that why the article still shows up under alerts—even in Earth sciences? If so, how may I fix this? CapeVerdeWave (talk) 09:50, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Hurricanehink: The issue now appears to resolved itself. As an aside, I am trying to bring this article to GA status as well, but need more data for the Gulf Coast. (Wikipedia no longer has an account with Newspapers.com, unfortunately?) Please feel free to let others know. CapeVerdeWave (talk) 16:44, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Hurricanehink: Yes, I have used the library liberally to date, often to access Newspapers.com, the latter of which no longer works with Wikipedia, apparently. NewspaperARCHIVE, ProQuest, and others are still decent, but Newspapers.com was a real trove. (As an aside, I nominated 1932 Bahamas hurricane for GA review. Maybe you care to go over it?) CapeVerdeWave (talk) 17:31, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
On second thought: hold off for a moment; I found some more information on damage in the U.S. (Newspapers.com now works for me.) Apparently the storm did more damage to the East Coast than I thought. Please refrain from doing a GA review just yet until I am finished. (I will let you know.) CapeVerdeWave (talk) 20:38, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am not actually done just yet, for my prose needs to be tidied. (Take the last section: the passage about the ship Nantucket, for instance, just seems awkward, but I struggled to find better wording. Maybe you or others can help?) I also just ordered a book that discusses Bahamian impacts more and am awaiting its arrival. Further, I need more data from Canada and Iceland. For instance, I just found out that the storm caused fatalities in Canada, along with quite a number of impacts (per this), so I need to add more details. I do not deem the article quite ready yet, but maybe you, I, and/or others could work on addressing its components. CapeVerdeWave (talk) 07:24, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Re: the Nantucket revision: yes, the original meaning is still clear, so I wove it into the article. I just expanded the Canada part as well, using the data from Environment Canada. I wish I had access to the British Newspaper Archive, however; that could add more depth to the Canada section (and maybe elsewhere). Also, do you know of any Scandinavian sources? I would like some details from Iceland, Norway, and/or the USSR. In the meantime I'm reworking the prose. Some unwieldy sections:
  • "At 18:00 UTC on September 9 it became extratropical and lurched east-northeast, keeping hurricane-force winds about a day longer." This just comes off as a bit "wordy".
  • "Its remnants soon traveled near the Snæfellsnes and Jan Mayen, bypassing those areas on the night of September 14–15." Can the clauses be combined and shortened somehow?
  • "In the aftermath food supplies ran low and salt contaminated the drinking supply." Is there a way to smoothen this?
  • "The storm leveled a pair of large brick churches with 3-foot-thick (0.91 m) stone walls, tossing some of the blocks 1⁄2 mi (0.80 km)." That the "blocks" made up the stone walls, as they did, is vaguely inferred.
Any assistance here would be appreciated. I am still working on the article. (A book on the Bahamas effects will be arriving at the end of the month, so I may have more data to insert.) CapeVerdeWave (talk) 07:39, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, I am not yet ready, for I have found a bunch of additional articles and am still awaiting a book on the storm. I also see that the prose needs to be reworked a bit in parts. I will let you know when I am ready for a GA review. CapeVerdeWave (talk) 16:47, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I have done so. I will keep you appraised. In the meantime, feel free to keep track of the article. CapeVerdeWave (talk) 07:04, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Hurricanehink: The article is finally up for GA review. Feel free to have a go at it. CapeVerdeWave (talk) 17:56, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Appealing my ban?

Hi Hink, hope you're doing well. After a long period of inactivity (real life got in the way), I've gotten more active again, and I was thinking of appealing my 2021 projectspace ban (oof, the discussion makes me cringe). I appealed in June 2022, which failed because I had continued some of the same editing that led to the ban. Over the past couple of months, I've participated a lot in RMs, a topic that I had once had problems in, with rationales supporting policy, and in almost all cases, the discussions have been closed in my favor. This is in contrast to shortly before my previous appeal, in which a CSD criterion that I proposed had zero supports.

Is there any advice or guidance that you could give me before I officially appeal the ban, and if/when I appeal, would you support it? 🐔 Chicdat  Bawk to me! 12:09, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to the 2025 WikiCup!

Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2025 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here.

If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round.

The first round will end on 26 February.

Tornadoes in Oklahoma

Hi again! I finally got around to Tornadoes in Oklahoma, seeing as nobody else wanted to do it and the only other draft was about a month stale. What do you think about the format? Making these lists, I really think we've been doing it wrong by trying to include every tornado and tornado event in a bulleted list, which is visually unappealing and doesn't have sortable data. What I've done is make a sortable list of F/EF3+ tornadoes, by date (pre-1925 (currently the only one I have done), 1925-1950, 1951-1975, 1976-2000, 2001-2007, 2007-2025), and under that time-frame's respective tornado list will be blurbs of some of the events from that time period. I think the reason people haven't been getting around to these lists is because they think every tornado in that state's history needs to be included, something which I think is rightfully scary but shouldn't be the case. I've also added an infobox, just because it looks better that way. Thanks! :) — EF5 17:11, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
