TornadoesHey there Quxyz, we haven’t interacted much, but I thought I’d reach out. I’ve been trying to recruit editors to help with creating more tornado articles. I almost hate to ask, but do you have any interest in tornadoes? I know they’re common and can be devastating in your state, which is why it’s a shame that there is no List of Iowa tornadoes. Such a list wouldn’t need to include every known event - there would be too many to get them all. But getting a general climatology and notable outbreaks would be useful. I mention this because I worked on List of California tornadoes and recently got it to a featured list. One day I would love if every state had their own list for all sorts of weather events. I can help out if you’re interested. Or if you’re more into tropical cyclones (I am personally!) I wondered what aspect you liked most, and was curious about working on. There are literally tens of thousands of weather articles out there, including a lot waiting to be written! Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 21:54, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
I disagreeRegarding my recent edits to Hurricane Beryl (2024), I mean. They removed wordiness and subsections which needn't exist yet, while focusing on the damage, not mere reports. I won't bother you further about them; just know you were mistaken. InedibleHulk (talk) 22:05, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Robert McClenon (talk) 19:30, 23 July 2024 (UTC)Alert: PD-NWS ViolationsThis 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) 23:54, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

I wanted to know whether you wanted to copy and paste those notes onto a draft with attribution or start the draft on your sandbox, or any other option you may think of.

PD-NWS Violations Update #1I 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:
Solutions:
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.

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?
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.
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!

October 2024Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at Hurricane Milton, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.

October 2024 (Speedy deletion of Hurricane Kristy redirect)I just want to point out; that if I’m not mistaken.
