More images of Inez

I have added one of the three images to the article; one other is one commons while the other was placed in the 1966 AHS article. I have a fourth image I may load to commons, but Inez appears weaker in the fourth. FYI. Thegreatdr (talk) 21:33, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Fifi-Orlene / April?

My digitizing of the MWL sections for the XT database project has been done from 1964-1971...not far enough for Fifi-Orlene. During this weekend into Monday I'll be adding more TC images for the 1963-1971 period (1965-1966 and 1969-1971 are mostly done). It may take another month or two to finish off the scanning of the 1970s, and scan in the late 1950s and early 1960s, depending upon what lies in the library downstairs. The remainder of the scanning for the earliest period might have to wait until my next NOAA Central Library visit. Thegreatdr (talk) 21:41, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

All this MWL scanning is preparatory work for what is to come. I'm still putting out "feelers" within the meteorological community as to whether other similar databases have already been developed, based on surface maps and surface data. NCEP and ECMWF reanalysis grids are being used as of late to try to develop similar climatologies, but since they're based on grids, they will underestimate central pressures and strength of winds, even if they had all related ship observations. One of the big flaws with the reanalyses is that there is a significant amount of ship observations which have yet to be included into ICOADS, that still lies on the old surface maps or on paper-based ship logs. If the ship data is not in ICOADS, the reanalyses don't know they exist. Thegreatdr (talk) 22:22, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Tina, Fico, then Celeste and John for the northeast Pacific

Hey there. For whatever reason, I took a look at the Tina and Fico articles. Fico has an upside down satellite image...but that's not the main reason for this chat. It's all about John. While John is the longest-lived TC in the northern Pacific, it is not the longest-lived northeast Pacific tropical cyclone (doesn't seem to matter if you use 140W or 180 as a guide longitude). John was east of 140W for nine days, and east of the international dateline for 16 days consecutive, 17 days total, which is close to the amount of time Celeste stayed east of the dateline. I removed the wording about John having this record from the Fico article. Tina still owns that record, spending nearly all its time east of 140W. Thegreatdr (talk) 17:06, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Please approve.

Hink, please approve me to do the following:

• To expand, (and later add images to the gallery) the Choi Sum article, but this time, i'll type it in my own text. After that, you are free to check my editing and make further improvements.
• To expand the Tropical Cyclone Imelda section in the 2012–13 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season article.
• To expand, clean up the Passiflora coccinea article. (I will later also add a gallery and replace the image with a better one).

Thank You.--✯Earth100✯ (talk✉) 13:10, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Im pretty sure the Choi Sum and Passiflora coccinea do not need gallery's, per WP:Gallery since im sure the articles subject could be conveyed by text and individual images. I dont know about Hink here but id like to see any edits that wish to do done in userspace first so we can check tat they are up to scratch.Jason Rees (talk) 14:17, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Earth100, please note that while Hurricanehink is an admin, since he's acting as your mentor, someone else, and that's going to be Bbb23 and I, are going to have to play bad cop. And I have to tell you that your request above is exactly the opposite of what needs to happen. Many mentors run their mentees through a several month long program, all conducted in userspace, before they allow them to edit articles directly; this is especially true for an editor has a had a problem before. You need to do whatever Hh is asking you to do on the mentorship page. Additionally, for the early stages, even if Hh is going to allow you to edit directly, you will need to state exactly what you plan to change, not just request blanket permission to go edit an article. That is, once Hh approves that you're ready to choose your own articles to edit, you're still going to have to do the draft work in a sandbox and then say "This is how I would recommend changing the article." Qwyrxian (talk) 21:27, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure Gallery is okay in plant articles, as a viewer may be thinking: Hmnnn...hows the side-view look of it? What does it look like up close?..and more. So i sure a gallery is better than none.--✯Earth100✯ (talk✉) 08:38, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Thats where the invidual pictures come in to play, you can have two or 3 pictures in the article but not a gallery.Jason Rees (talk) 12:16, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Can i make a 3 image gallery? --✯Earth100✯ (talk✉) 13:42, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Earth100, I am trying to be blunt here: I consider you pursuing this discussion further to be very, very close, if not already over the line, of violating your unblock conditions. I don't mind that you're asking the questions here, so much, but I do mind that you are asking them, not listening to the answers, and, more importantly, not doing what your mentor is telling you to do. You have an assignment on your mentorship page. Please attend to that first. Please do not starting bringing up edits that you want to start making to articles. This is exactly like training in a skill--let's say, for example, martial arts. If your trainer tells you to practice bowing as the first "skill", you can't go to the trainer and say "Is it okay if I practice sparring instead?" You need to follow the program Hh is laying out for you. Qwyrxian (talk) 14:06, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

As Qwyrxian has generously included me as a "bad cop", I'm pretty much going echo what he's already said. You must follow Hink's instructions. The best questions you could possibly ask would be about the instructions and about the assignments he's given you. You must stop being so eager to edit articles, regardless of the contemplated edit. I already told you that this is going to require patience on your part. You are fortunate that Hink is willing to work with you, but if you aren't willing to work him and abide by his rules, then you're wasting his time and everyone else's time. So, forget your own agenda completely. Act like nothing else exists except your mentorship program, and just do what the teacher tells you to do. If you can't live with that, then you shouldn't have enrolled in the course. It's not a good sign for you to be having this much trouble so early in the process.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:11, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Hink told me to make requests on the mentorship page. Will someone just give the answer? Simple, just say yes or no.--✯Earth100✯ (talk✉) 04:56, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Please make edit requests on your mentorship page. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:05, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Hink, you have new messages on my talk page.--✯Earth100✯ (talk✉) 05:47, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Hink, you told me to make request on that mentor page. Do you really mean it?--✯Earth100✯ (talk✉) 08:23, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Yes he did mean it, that is where all of your edits should be and not to any images or whatever. And for the record your edit request has been denyed or in other words NO YOU MAY NOT EDIT THE PAGES YOU REQUESTED.Jason Rees (talk) 11:18, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Hink I did what you told me to do!

I was just waiting for your next order for what to do, until so many users poured in which confused me! --✯Earth100✯ (talk✉) 02:33, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

WikiProject Good Articles Recruitment Centre

Hello! Now, some of you might have already received a similar message a little while ago regarding the Recruitment Centre, so if you have, there is no need to read the rest of this. This message is directed to users who have reviewed over 15 Good article nominations and are not part of WikiProject Good articles (the first message I sent out went to only WikiProject members). So for those who haven't heard about the Recruitment Centre yet, you may be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around it (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers: Recruiters: The main task of a recruiter is to teach users that have never reviewed a Good article nomination how to review one. To become a recruiter, all you have to do is meet this criteria. If we don't get at least 5-10 recruiters to start off with (at the time this message was sent out, 2 recruiters have volunteered), the Recruitment Centre will not open. If interested, make sure you meet the criteria, read the process and add your name to the list of recruiters. (One of the great things about being a recruiter is that there is no set requirement of what must be taught and when. Instead, all the content found in the process section is a guideline of the main points that should be addressed during a recruitment session...you can also take an entire different approach if you wish!) If you think you will not have the time to recruit any users at this time but are still interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still add your name to the list of recruiters but just fill in the "Status" parameter with "Not Available". Co-Director: The current Director for the centre is me (Dom497). Another user that would be willing to help with some of the tasks would be helpful. Tasks include making sure recruiters are doing what they should be (teaching!), making sure all recruitments are archived correctly, updating pages as needed, answering any questions, and distributing the feedback form. If interested, please contact me (Dom497). Nominators, please read this: If you are not interested in becoming a recruiter, you can still help. In some cases a nominator may have an issue with an "inexperienced" editor (the recruitee) reviewing one of their nominations. To minimize the chances of this happening, if you are fine with a recruitee reviewing one of your nominations under the supervision of the recruiter, please add your name to the list at the bottom of this page. By adding your name to this list, chances are that your nomination will be reviewed more quickly as the recruitee will be asked to choose a nomination from the list of nominators that are OK with them reviewing the article. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along. A message will be sent out to all recruiters regarding the date when the Recruitment Centre will open when it is determined. The message will also contain some further details to clarify things that may be a bit confusing.--Dom497 (talk) This message was sent out by --EdwardsBot (talk) 14:40, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Snow in Florida

Hi Hink,

I hope things have been going well with you since we were last in touch. I've renominated Snow in Florida to go up on the main page here. Any help you can provide in addressing the concerns that have been raised there would be greatly appreciated. Some of the concerns, such as replacing the deadlinks, are things that I do not know how to resolve, and I thought that, as the article's original FL nominator, you would probably be the best editor from whom to request aid.

The name is Hurricane...Miss Fox if you're nasty

Check your gmail. You may find something useful relating to Fox. It is not a US gov't document, so no graphics within it can be used as it may still be under copyright. I'm not familiar with Cuba's copyright rules, however. Thegreatdr (talk) 16:28, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

It doesn't seem as if the book will alter the hurricane reanalysis, which is sneaking its way towards the 1950s. Word on the street is that 1941-1945 is almost ready. Thegreatdr (talk) 21:02, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Tropical cyclone effects in Europe, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Galicia, Great Britain and Ireland and Córdoba province (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Barnstar

		The Adopt-a-user Barnstar
		I know it probably doesn't feel like you succeeded in accomplishing much of anything, but you were a lot more patient than most people would've been (certainly more patient than I would've been). While the adoption wasn't successful, you gave it your all, and for that, I think you deserve recognition. Inks.LWC (talk) 03:00, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Agreed. I also think you did a pretty good job on the mentorship. YE

That too. For never having done it before, your lesson plan seemed like you'd done it a dozen times. Inks.LWC (talk) 03:21, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks both! It was fun, but in the end not worth continuing. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:21, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

DYK for Tropical cyclone effects in Europe

On 29 June 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Tropical cyclone effects in Europe, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute predicts that by the year 2100, tropical cyclone effects in Europe will greatly increase, including storms similar to 2012 Hurricane Sandy? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Tropical cyclone effects in Europe. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Disambiguation link notification for July 1

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help.

July 2013

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to 1993–94 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 18:55, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

Would I like to help write Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone seasons...

Yes, I am interested in writing season articles. Hurricane Andrew (444) 22:41, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
