This photo is supposed to be from the event of 2007 but the details of the picture shows that it was taken in 2003.

This is a note to let the main editors of the article List of Connecticut tornadoes know that it will be appearing as the main page featured list on February 10, 2014. You can view the TFL blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured list/February 10, 2014. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured list directors Giants2008 (talk · contribs), Crisco 1492 (talk · contribs) or SchroCat (talk · contribs), or at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured list. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. Thanks! © Tbhotch™ (en-2.5). 02:47, 3 February 2014 (UTC) More than 100 tornadoes have affected the U.S. state of Connecticut, resulting in at least 48 deaths, 780 injuries, and more than $500 million in damage. Connecticut is not typically known to fall casualty to tornadoes, but, as with most of the northeastern United States, the number of tornadoes peaks in the summer months, normally in July or August. Hartford County has had the most tornadoes in the state, although Litchfield County has reported the most tornadoes since 1950. Several areas have been struck more than once, and Waterbury has been struck by no less than four tornadoes since 1955. Although Connecticut tornadoes are typically weak, isolated events can be violent. Three tornadoes of F4 intensity have affected the state in its history, as well as at least 27 tornadoes of F2 intensity or greater. The 1878 Wallingford tornado (aftermath pictured) killed at least 29 and likely 34 people in Wallingford, the most by any tornado event in Connecticut history. Please comment on Talk:BloodGreetings!

I-270 (CO)Quick question: You recently made an edit to Interstate 270 (Colorado) saying that since the airport was decommissioned, the article should say "former site of." I'm not a Denver resident, but is the airport still there, even if it's decommissioned? I think if the airport is just not in use and hasn't been demolished or something, it is still the site of the airport, not the former site. — PCB 04:36, 31 July 2014 (UTC) Merger discussion for High-pressure areaAn article that you have been involved in editing—High-pressure area —has been proposed for merging with another article.

Extended confirmed protectionHello, Runningonbrains. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy. Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas. In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you. Two-Factor Authentication now available for adminsHello, Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right. It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best. If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR.

Can you please update the Tropical cyclone rainfall in the US map, at List of wettest tropical cyclones in the United States? Hurricane Harvey shattered all of the previous records, so Amelia needs to be replaced with Harvey for Texas. As you can see in this report, Hurricane Harvey dropped a maximum of 64.58 in (164.0 cm) of rain in Nederland, Texas. Thanks. LightandDark2000 (talk) 06:31, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

InvitationDear Runningonbrains, We need your brain... You are cordially invited to join the Portals WikiProject. This is a very active project. We are in the process of completely revamping the entire portal system, and cleaning up the portal namespace. After these are done, we'll be greatly expanding the collections of portals. We have many design discussions going on, and many task types to choose from. We also have a newsletter, that covers the progress of portal development, and the latest toys. If you are interested, please feel welcome to sign-up at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Portals#Project_participants. By the way, I'm very interested in what you think of portals. What do you like most about them? What do they lack that they should have? What can't they do, that you would like them to be able to do? I look forward to your replies. — The Transhumanist 09:09, 2 August 2018 (UTC) P.S.: Please {{ping}} me in your reply. Thank you. -TT Peer review newsletter #1IntroductionHello to all! I do not intend to write a regular peer review newsletter but there does occasionally come a time when those interested in contributing to peer review should be contacted, and now is one. I've mailed this out to everyone on the peer review volunteers list, and some editors that have contributed to past discussions. Apologies if I've left you off or contacted you and you didn't want it. Next time there is a newsletter / mass message it will be opt in (here), I'll talk about this below - but first:
UpdatesUpdate #1: the peer review volunteers list is changingThe list is here in case you've forgotten: WP:PRV. Kadane has kindly offered to create a bot that will ping editors on the volunteers list with unanswered reviews in their chosen subject areas every so often. You can choose the time interval by changing the "contact" parameter. Options are "never", "monthly", "quarterly", "halfyearly", and "annually". For example:
We can at this stage only use the broad peer review section titles to guide what reviews you'd like, but that's better than nothing! You can also set an interest in multiple separate subject areas that will be updated at different times. Update #2: a (lean) WikiProject Peer reviewI don't think we need a WikiProject with a giant bureaucracy nor all sorts of whiz-bang features. However over the last few years I've found there are times when it would have been useful to have a list of editors that would like to contribute to discussions about the peer review process (e.g. instructions, layout, automation, simplification etc.). Also, it can get kind of lonely on the talk page as I am (correct me if I'm wrong) the only regular contributor, with most editors moving on after 6 - 12 months. So, I've decided to create "WikiProject Peer review". If you'd like to contribute to the WikiProject, or make yourself available for future newsletters or contact, please add yourself to the list of members. Update #3: advertisingWe plan to do some advertising of peer review, to let editors know about it and how to volunteer to help, at a couple of different venues (Signpost, Village pump, Teahouse etc.) - but have been waiting until we get this bot + WikiProject set up so we have a way to help interested editors make more enduring contributions. So consider yourself forewarned! And... that's it! I wish you all well on your Wikivoyages, Tom (LT) (talk) 00:31, 11 August 2018 (UTC) ArbCom 2018 election voter messageHello, Runningonbrains.
