Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2015 Pacific typhoon season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chuuk. 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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:29, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

Do you need help?

It seems you're a little lost on what to do on Wikipedia. Do you need assistance? If so, I'll gladly guide you along. You have great enthusiasm toward hurricane articles, which is great! We can definitely use some of that around here. You just need to learn the ropes a bit more. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:24, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

GA review

Could you finish one of the GA reviews before "claiming" another one? You have five open, which prevents others from reviewing then, but you haven't done anything to them yet. Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 13:47, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

  • As you have fewer than 200 edits on Wikipedia, and no prior experience in the Good Article space, let me point you to the good article criteria, and also to the WP:GAREVIEW page. As a beginning reviewer, it is strongly recommended that you start with one (or maybe two) reviews at a time, and not take on more until you have completed these. Also, it's suggested that you have a mentor look over your review before finalizing it, so what Juliancolton offers above is well worth taking advantage of. Best of luck. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:35, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I've also deleted your empty GA review pages for the two articles I mentioned above, seeing as it's been ten days without any comments or even an indication of when you might begin the review. – Juliancolton | Talk 18:11, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

I have just had to revert a clearly inadequate and improper listing of Typhoon Maysak (2015) as a Good Article based on the review at Talk:Typhoon Maysak (2015)/GA1. No Good Article criteria are actually mentioned in the extremely brief review, although I mentioned them above, and a mentor was not engaged prior to approval although I strongly urged it be done and Juliancolton had offered. While your enthusiasm for the process is appreciated, your lack of understanding of how it works and what it means is causing damage. I am formally requesting that you do not do any further reviews until you have gained considerably more experience here at Wikipedia, preferably including making a GA nomination of your own and seeing by virtue of having it reviewed what is involved from the other side, since you seem uninterested in working with a mentor on your own reviews. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:27, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Just to confirm what BlueMoonset has said, I'd still like to help. Unfortunately, there's not much I can do until you've at least acknowledged some of these messages regarding your edits. You seem to have an interest in the GA process, but frankly, it's unlikely that any of your reviews will be allowed to stand until you've made an effort to communicate with more experienced reviewers. Since I'm certain that you must have seen your talk page notifications, I'm a little unclear on why you haven't responded to assure us of your good intentions. However, I get the impression that there may be a language barrier getting in the way. We encourage people from all regions and cultures to participate, but if you're not very comfortable with English, it might be more gratifying and productive for you to contribute to your native language Wikipedia. – Juliancolton | Talk 17:45, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Warning

Your repeated malformed and incomplete GA reviews and review claims are disruptive, for the reasons outlined in the above threads. If you do not refrain from starting new reviews without soliciting the help of an experienced reviewer, you may be blocked from editing. – Juliancolton | Talk 03:41, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

FAC

I appreciate that you are acting in good faith, but it is best if featured articles are nominated by people who have worked closely on them. In this way, they can give reasoned replies to reviewers and be familiar enough with the sources to act on suggested improvements. Someone who has not worked on the article can not provide this input, so the nomination may continue until opposition to it becomes so overwhelming that the article is failed; this takes away time from reviewers. While the Tropical Storm Thelma article is of reasonable quality, it is not yet of featured quality, and principal contributors must be consulted before a nomination, as required in the featured article candidate instructions. --Laser brain (talk) 10:52, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

Inappropriate GA nominations

N-C16, you are currently nominating a large group of articles at GAN en masse, and these are articles, so far as I can determine, where you are not a significant contributor to the article. According to the GA instructions, people who have not worked on articles should not nominate them for GA status unless they have first consulted with the article's regular contributors, something you have not done.

Please stop nominating articles until you have obtained consensus that they are ready to do so. This is not the first time there have been issues with you at GA; you were doing invalid reviews last year. I strongly recommend that you proceed with caution and according to the rules. Thank you.

I am afraid I am going to have to revert your out-of-process nominations for the moment. Please proceed incrementally in future, not all at once. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:56, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

You did this in this edit to the Effects of Hurricane Matthew in Haiti. I've done most of the work to the article, and I know it isn't anywhere near time for a GA nomination. If you want to be helpful, try adding information in. I'm only one editor, trying to keep up with the sheer amount of information. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:03, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

Hurricane Gaston warnings

Please cool it with the warnings. While those edits which were restoring the Hurricane Gaston (2016) article were arguably unnecessary (as the information was better suited as a section of the main season article as Hurricanehink said), they are not the kinds of edits that should be responded to with vandalism warning templates. Some of those editors you warned are established users, and I can ensure you that their edits were vandalism. Additionally, those edits were days ago. Dustin (talk) 01:05, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

Also, if you have any questions or anything else, feel free to leave a message on my talk page. I just thought I'd mention it. Dustin (talk) 01:07, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

Typhoon Haima

Why did you change the strongest system of the season from Haima to Meranti!? Haima and Meranti had the same pressure, but Haima had a higher windspeed. Please state why you made this edit. Thank you. HurricaneGonzalo | Talk | Contribs 13:17, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

@HurricaneGonzalo: My question is where you got the 130-knot figure. It was inserted as IP vandalism.--Jasper Deng (talk) 17:29, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
@Jasper Deng: Oh, thanks for telling me. HurricaneGonzalo | Talk | Contribs 17:40, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Agatha (2010)

Any reason why you moved that article back? It's unquestionably the most notable version of the store (similar to Cyclone Yali), so I don't see any point in having the year. YE Pacific Hurricane 05:06, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

Yea, I moved it back. It is the most important storm named Agatha, so it should redirect here. Also, you should slow down on the move requests. I'm not sure if you knew, but there are really only about 10-15 regular editors involved in hurricane articles, and I'm including you in there. If you want a lot of articles moved, or want to talk about anything that affects multiple articles, you should post it on the talk page for WikiProject Tropical Cyclones. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:46, 24 October 2016 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Bbb23 (talk) 17:16, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

{unblock | reason=I haven't had multiple accounts simultaneously. I don't know why I am blocked. I tried to declare all the possible conflicts on my user page. I listen to other's opinion. I am trying to adhere to all Wikipedia policies/guidelines and will continue to do so. I always assume good faith. Please unblock.

First, you don't have to edit simultaneously to violate policy, but in fact you did have multiple accounts simultaneously. Second, your userpage didn't exist. Third, some of what you did was obvious trolling, e.g., edit-warring between yourself using different accounts. One of your accounts created an absurd page. Your main account then nominated that page for deletion. It looks like your principal activity at Wikipedia was malicious deception.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:19, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

A1Cafel (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Dear administractors, I understand what I am blocked for abusing multiple accounts, I promise that I will not do it again, and I will make productive contributions instead, so the block is no longer necessary. I hope you can give me a chance to let me fulfill my promise, Thank you. N-C16 (talk) 08:27, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

Decline reason:

The fact that you started out by simply denying that you had done anything wrong, and then only apologized after it was spelled out to you in undeniable detail, makes me think you're just saying whatever you think will get you unblocked. Coupled with the apparent nature of your disruptive editing, that does not convince me that unblocking you would be to the benefit of the project.

For an unblock request to have any change of success, I'd suggest that, as a minimum, you would need to disclose every account you have used, explain what you did with them and what you did wrong, and then explain what you would do in future to help the project. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:38, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again.

Request reason:

I set up one more account: User:BFF12, but this account doesn't participate in English Wikipedia, see Talk page of User:BFF12 in Chinese Wikipedia. These accounts made edits mainly on topics about tropical cyclone. I am abusing multiple accounts because I mage some disruptive edits, e.g. edit-warring by using different accounts. I won't abuse multiple accounts. I will continue to participate in Wikipedia, mainly on topics about tropical cyclone. Thank you. N-C16 (talk) 08:50, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

So you first say your only other account is User:BFF12, which "doesn't participate in English Wikipedia". But then you go on to say you were "edit-warring by using different accounts". Those two claims contradict each other. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:13, 2 November 2016 (UTC)

Images

Oh hi there and you must be new. So recently I have seen your edits within the Wikimedia commons for TC images. I really just want to note that, there is someone here (you may know who he is) who is wasting their time making images that are not 'high-quality' or accurate enough. So just saying, to keep an eye out for him, too, as he likes 'his' images better than the NASA gallery version images. Typhoon2013 (talk) 21:03, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Unblock to AN

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

A1Cafel (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I have followed the SO, waiting 6 months without socking and block evasion. I am here to request an admin to take my unblock request to WP:AN. I promise not to use alternative accounts for inappropriate reason. I know that socking is a serious problem in Wikipedia, so I won't let it happen again. If I really need an alternative accounts, I will state them clearly in the user page and follow WP:SOCK#LEGIT strictly. B dash (talk) 02:12, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

Accept reason:

As a result of discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard, I am unblocking you subject to the following three conditions.

  1. You must not edit at all except from this account. Note that this restriction goes further than your offer of stating any other accounts on your user page and following WP:SOCK#LEGIT strictly.
  2. You must not make any GA nominations.
  3. You may ask at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard for these conditions to be lifted, but not until one year has elapsed from the time of the block being removed. It is possible that further discussion may lead to a change in this restriction, but unless you are informed otherwise it remains so.

The discussion which led to this can be seen here.The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 14:19, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

I have posted this to AN for you, at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#Standard_Offer_for_User:B_dash. SQLQuery me! 03:15, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
@TheGracefulSlick: At that time I don't know the procedure of nominating GA and have some inappropriate nomination. After that, I have stopped. I will promise to read the instruction before nominate them. --B dash (talk) 05:28, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
@Od Mishehu: I promise this will be my only account used in Wikipedia, no other accounts. Also, @Dlohcierekim: no GA nomination. --B dash (talk) 12:33, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
I strongly suggest that you give some indication of what editing you expect to do if you are unblocked. Many administrators are very reluctant to unblock an editor with an extensive history of unacceptable editing unless there is evidence what he or she is likely to do after being unblocked. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 21:55, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
@JamesBWatson: Mainly articles related to tropical cyclones. I will just do some maintenance and update edits, seldom have major edits. As I have mentioned before, I won't do any GA nomination, and won't use more than one account to contribute. --B dash (talk) 02:04, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
I have posted to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Standard Offer for User:B dash, indicating a support for unblocking. However, it will be necessary to wait to see whether there is any more input there, and especially to wait for the administrator/CheckUser who blocked this account to have a chance to comment. Unfortunately this means that you are likely to have to wait some time longer, but since you have already waited for well over a year perhaps you can bear to hang on for a few more days. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 17:40, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
@JamesBWatson: I'm fine. Thanks for remindering. --B dash (talk) 02:34, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

Rather than just saying "per Mario" and offering no real explanation for your revert at all (I do regret that my edit summary may have been impolite), please enlighten me as to how removing material on the warning history of that hurricane is helpful to readers.

Also, I didn't realize you were responsible for the original revert, else I would have taken more steps to avoid becoming embroiled in any kind of edit war. Regardless, that table takes up a very small amount of space, so I don't see how removing it is in any way helpful to readers.

Images

Before you change any more images around and get yourself involved in more edit wars, can you please comment on the {{Infobox_hurricane}}_and_{{infobox_hurricane_small}}_images proposal here. Otherwise you may be blocked for edit warring.Jason Rees (talk) 10:55, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

Satellite image edit warring

This is a warning going out to all editors involved in the multitude of edit warring across WikiProject Tropical cyclones. This is a preemptive warning to cease the edit warring before another incident arises and the consequences of ignoring this warning will be enforced immediately. The endless reverting and replacing of images with or without valid rationale has reached the point of being disruptive. These edits are generally a waste of time and focus should be placed on the content of the article rather than a single image. Continued edit warring will result in temporary bans—for 36 hours or longer—at the discretion of administrators. At the time of this warning, the project discussion on these images is still open and arguments within do not constitute project policy. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 03:21, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

Please stop! What you're doing is wrong and don't know how to read the NDRRMC files. The damage for all three storms is $26.2 million and that's it. It's an updated file and will keep updating until they stop. So please leave it as it is. Typhoon2013 (talk) 09:13, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Hector Meteorological History Subheadings

How long should the meteorological history section be before adding in subheadings in your opinion? I have seen many other pages with a lot less content in a section (Beryl and Bud are both examples) and they have subheadings.

RE: Formation and development into a TS is a somewhat small section, but the Eastern Pacific section is a good size (2 decent sized paragraphs) and the Central Pacific section has really expanded in the last day or so.

Nomination of Hurricane Hector (2018) for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Hurricane Hector (2018) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hurricane Hector (2018) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. FigfiresSend me a message! 17:10, 12 August 2018 (UTC) I don't know how can he say this

And also,he uploads images from nnvl,then replaces the original one. He thought,those images were better,too? THE OCEAN LOOKS PURPLE(PREETY DARK). Surely not better.I think.

Rumbia's img was replaced,too.That image is not at peak intensty.

Rumbia's original version is back till now.

It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Rollback granted

Hi B dash. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Beeblebrox (talk) 17:15, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi! I was wondering why you reverted my edit on Reputation, where I removed the redirect link for “Don’t Blame Me”.

John/Ileana Deaths

I saw you tried to separate out the deaths. It is honestly impossible to do right now. Sources have claimed John caused the same deaths that Ileana did (excluding the tourist that died from rip currents). The 2 children in the lagoon, the man in the river, and the 4 people from the car have been attributed to both or either John or Ileana solely. I simply added notes to the table on the seasonal page and John's infobox on its article. Hopefully the TCRs will be able to clear this up. I feel the notes were the best way to go about this for now. FigfiresSend me a message! 16:25, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

Page mover granted

Hello, B dash. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, and move subpages when moving the parent page(s).

Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.

If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! Anarchyte (talk | work) 11:19, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi B dash. I notice that you have recently been granted page mover status, and have been enjoying the new privilege.

If you want to increase the proportion of articles with the shorter form of titles, please create new articles for the places that don't have one yet, and make the redirect from the longer form to your new articles.

In the last few weeks you've nominated nine (9) files I've uploaded for deletion of which: six (6) have been kept, one (1) will almost certainly be closed as keep, and the other two (2) were deleted because I didn't see them in the whirlwind of your deletion tagging and didn't get around to contesting the nomination.

Premature closure of DAP RM

Your request to lift your editing restrictions

Hi B dash. As per Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#Request_to_lift_the_restriction_for_the_unblock_(2nd) - (permanent link) - the restriction on your making Good Article nominations is lifted. The one remaining restriction in place is a requirement to only edit from a single account. This should not be an onerous restriction, however, should you wish to lift this restriction then you must either return to the Administrator's notice board and make your case for this, explaining why an additional account or accounts are necessary, or, if you feel there are privacy concerns, to contact the Arbitration Committee privately. I noted this restriction was not logged at Wikipedia:Editing restrictions so have remedied this. Should you have any questions, please let me know. Regards, Fish+Karate 09:59, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

Looks like Carlotta may have actually had a broad impact. Two deaths were reported as far inland as Aguascalientes (indirect), which means surrounding states (ones located to the southwest) must have been impacted as well since Aguascalientes is a pretty small state.
