Hurricane Kirk (2024) moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Hurricane Kirk (2024). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Just a random Wikipedian^(talk) 23:27, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much! HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 23:43, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hurricane Kirk

Hello I’m IrishSurfer21 a fellow editor on Wikipedia. I appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, but not everything meets the notability guidelines for an article. You have removed a redirect for Hurricane Kirk (2024) to create an article for this storm. I appreciate your edits but unfortunately it does not meet any notability criteria for a separate article as this storm has not caused any deaths or damage, nor has it broken any significant record. Next time, it would be helpful if you consulted other editors on the season talk page before making an article that does not immediately meet notability criteria. Thank you!IrishSurfer21 (talk) 23:28, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It seems another editor covered most of my points right around the time I posted my message on your talk page. Ignore most of my post above, except remember to consult the season talk page before making a separate article for individual tropical cyclones.IrishSurfer21 (talk) 23:31, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is currently a draft, and also, thanks for your advice! HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 23:44, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Hurricane Kirk (2024) (October 3)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by JalenBarks was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Meteorology does not predict the impossible, and current NHC predictions have this storm turning northward away from North America, therefore making this storm not notable.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Hurricane Kirk (2024) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, HurricaneKirk2024! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Jalen Barks (Woof) 02:28, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How can I extend it? I truly do need your advice! HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 02:31, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well @HurricaneKirk2024, that is kind of a moot point now; because it was eventually accepted after Kirk’s remnants caused significant damage in Western Europe. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 20:18, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But in the future; you should probably wait on drafting articles related to tropical cyclones way out in the open ocean until you know that they are (or very likely beyond the reasonable doubt will) cause significant notable impacts somewhere; or until they attain category 5 intensity. Because there is a thing called WP:CRYSTAL and WP:TOOSOON which would both be great topics for you to read on. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 20:21, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The NHC has predicted that it may hit the Caribbean^[1]. HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 20:23, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Still WP:TOOSOON wait till it actually develops into a tropical depression first. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 20:24, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I’d say the better expert to ask, once a tropical depression does form would probably be Sir MemeGod as he is an AFC reviewer. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 20:26, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

it’s still a draft though… the outcome is still not evident. HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 21:02, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(I’m talking about AL94 here btw) HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 21:40, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm jumping in to echo the advice given above, "you should probably wait on drafting articles related to tropical cyclones way out in the open ocean until you know that they are (or very likely beyond the reasonable doubt will) cause significant notable impacts somewhere; or until they attain category 5 intensity." and "drafts should wait till [a disturbance / invest] actually develops into a tropical depression first." If you wish, you can do prep work in your sandbox, as opposed to creating a user-subpage for a disturbance / invest, so that it can easily be deleted or incorporated into a draft or the season article at the appropriate time. Also, refrain from creating a draft for a disturbance / invest, as it is definitely WP:TOOSOON to do so. Drdpw (talk) 21:41, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

so, should I move it to my sandbox until then? HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 21:43, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and blank the invest subpage for speedy deletion. Drdpw (talk) 22:40, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ok, thanks Drdpw! HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 23:10, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Hurricane Kirk (2024) (October 3)

Your recent article submission has been rejected and cannot be resubmitted. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reasons left by JalenBarks were: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. This submission is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: We also cannot accept drafts written with a large language model.

Jalen Barks (Woof) 03:12, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I do want to point out @JalenBarks that Hurricane Kirk did eventually cause sufficiently notable impacts in Western Europe, albeit as a remnant low. And Sir MemeGod did eventually reevaluate and accept the submission after extensive modifications. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 20:17, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am agreeing with Hurricane Clyde here. Kirk did actually do much damage and even caused deaths in Europe. HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 20:18, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Overtrout

Sizzle!

The trout you used to slap another Wikipedian has been gutted, roasted over the coals, and served with tartar sauce.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that, just like the trout in this picture, you have overused your {{trout}}.

I know you contribute in good faith, but I truly advise you to stop trouting people that disagree with your positions, especially when they're only doing so to comply with Wikipedia content policies. Doing so can be interpreted as a personal attack and should be avoided. Thank you. GeorgeMemulous (talk) 13:48, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Overtrout? HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 14:23, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here you trouted WeatherWriter, who had no interaction with you or indeed any on-wiki activity at all since you registered.

Here you trouted Sir MemeGod for no clear reason.

Here you trouted Sir MemeGod again, literally four minutes later, for accusing you of sockpuppetry, and then proceeded to brag about it.

And finally, here, you trouted Hurricane Clyde for no clear reason.

Per WP:TROUT, trouting isn't something done at random for no reason; it's done as a humourous and friendly way to send a message to another editor that they've made a mistake. I can't see what mistakes these editors had made, and trouting for literally no reason is not appreciated.

If you would like to interact with others positively, there are plenty of WikiLove templates you can give them if you want to show your appreciation towards their contributions to the site. See Wikipedia:WikiLove for that. At the bottom of the page are a list of templates that can be shown to other users that are likely to be appreciated more than the trout template. Thank you. GeorgeMemulous (talk) GeorgeMemulous (talk) 14:58, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I do want to politely add that barnstars can be overused too. Go easy on them because you can dilute their importance when doing that. Especially ones like “Defender of the Wiki”. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 16:12, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

it seems like everything is overused :| HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 16:14, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

can you help me on a article btw? HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 16:15, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've seen the articles you've created so far, and notice a lot fail WP:GNG, the guidelines for notability, as they are now (though I believe Fourteen may need its own article soon, once it develops). However, you can still practice in draft or user namespace. If you point me towards a draft you created, I can give feedback on what should be improved about it. To create a page in userspace, go to User:HurricaneKirk2024/exampledraft and create the page from there. You can easily find this through the search function by clicking on the red link that appears at the top of the search page. Please also note that userspace drafts should only be made in your userspace, i.e. User:HurricaneKirk2024/example. GeorgeMemulous (talk) 16:19, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article for Helene was created when it was lierally Tropical Depression Nine. I think it needs an article now so we can get a live view of the timeline of Hurricane Milton. HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 16:21, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's not a problem. Assuming nobody beats you to it, if you have a sufficient quality draft, you can move it to article space under the appropriate title when the system does become notable enough to have an article. GeorgeMemulous (talk) 16:22, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

yeah I think I’ll wait to make it an article until it dissipates HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 16:27, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some tropical cyclones (like Hurricane Helene for instance) are worthy of an article well before it dissipates. If you’re referring to Kirk; that storm is headed along quite honestly the least impactful track that a hurricane could take in the Atlantic Ocean. No direct threats to any land. So it might not be worthy of an article at all; but that said, it would certainly be worthy of a mention in 2024 Atlantic hurricane season. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 16:30, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you’re referring to TD-Fourteen; it will probably be worthy of an article; but let’s wait until Milton forms first before we create an article. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 16:32, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

yeah I know Kirk is gonna be iffy; I’m talking abt TD 14 HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 17:30, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just make sure no one ain’t already created it under Draft:Hurricane Milton (2024) or Draft:Tropical Storm Milton (2024) before beginning. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 16:35, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You really ought to stop attempting to create new articles until you get a better feel of how Wikipedia works. At the very minimum please ask on the season talk page before making articles on storms, because it is not a great use of your time to make articles only to have them merged or deleted. Generally, articles are only created when it's certain the storm in question will be high impact. That might be very early for some storms, generally those explicitly predicted to be intense and directly landfalling in a highly populated area. For most storms, it is much later, if at all. Also, I echo what others in this section say: do not overuse trouting. Since you are a pretty new editor, you should not dive into community things like that until you are more familiar with general expectations and customs of the community.--Jasper Deng (talk) 19:40, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think I just might quit Wikipedia :| HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 21:57, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Milton though probably deserves an article. And it probably won’t be too much longer before that draft gets published. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 01:17, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And to add to what @Jasper Deng said. I’ve been a registered Wikipedian for four months now; I’ve edited for eleven months. And in the four months I’ve had this account; I’ve only published two articles. My advice would be to start with something like redirects; just because it isn’t worthy of an article doesn’t mean it can’t have a redirect. I’ve created probably a hundred or more redirects. They’re very simple. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 02:00, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the advice! I really do like seeing posts on how to improve. HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 05:00, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Moving the talk here

Let’s just move the talk here’s also yes you can work on TD14. JAFactsDude (talk) 14:55, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

can you move Draft:Invest 92L (2024) to Draft:Tropical Depression 14 (2024) for me pls? HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 14:57, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

do not copy and paste btw HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 15:00, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

then what do you want me to do… JAFactsDude (talk) 15:02, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I’ll work on your Infobox for TD14 rn JAFactsDude (talk) 15:02, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thx HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 15:03, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also I think someone else is already making one for tropical depression 14 JAFactsDude (talk) 15:06, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah just make the article, idc yet HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 15:07, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I requested a merge later HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 15:07, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t know how to merge JAFactsDude (talk) 15:09, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just make the article, ok? HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 15:11, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Make the basis, and I’ll build onto it. HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 15:11, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also if that was you editing my article a few minutes ago, the meteorological history needs to be written better and also longer JAFactsDude (talk) 15:16, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

if you have problems, just undo it. HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 15:25, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@JAFactsDude; @HurricaneKirk2024, there is already a draft on Draft:Tropical Depression Fourteen (2024), that one is the most likely to get nominated for creation. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 16:38, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why? It’s like all my creations are bad. HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 17:29, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, not saying that. I’m saying your creation was a duplicate to one already made. It happens sometimes. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 01:18, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Insendieum: you do realize this is @HurricaneKirk2024‘s second sockpuppet accusation in about 48 hours, right? Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 07:17, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And the first accusation turned out to be false. And while I’m no administrator or SPI expert or anything like that; I don’t have any reason to think that @HurricaneKirk2024 is anything more than a new editor with a goal of creating articles. To think Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 07:19, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I realise this now if I look more into it. @HurricaneKirk2024I sincerely apologize for this. I didn’t think it was normal for a new editor to go into making articles, and I confused you with a sockmaster. Insendieum🎻 (Talk) 19:16, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contribution(s).

@HurricaneMilton2024, might I ask what note you’re referring to? Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 02:47, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The impersonation note since I now stated in my user page again that im a florida man in contrast to whoever this guy is that people confused me with. HurricaneMilton2024 (talk) 10:03, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t see anything wrong with this Kirk guy leaving the note up until the SPI is over; he’s only trying to defend himself. Although it probably would be a good idea to remove the note once the SPIs have been closed. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 16:14, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ok I will do that. HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 16:20, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But @HurricaneMilton2024; if Kirk removes his note; you aught to remove yours too. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 16:32, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, i see that you don’t have the “confused with this guy” statement. So just ignore my ping. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 16:33, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Now this message here is for both of you (including @HurricaneMilton2024): NEVER put on your user page that you are “not so and so’s sockpuppet”, because that WILL invite sockpuppetry accusations; the only acception is if you are operating a legitimate alternate account (which neither of you should be doing right now).

I want to very strongly clarify, you should NOT be trying to operate an alternate account right now. You have no legitimate reason of doing so right now. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 20:10, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Don’t worry, I don’t have one. HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 20:11, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

hey, I am just wondering if this page (one of my subpages, User:HurricaneKirk2024/info box sandbox#Seasonal summary), is fine with the guidelines of Wikipedia. HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 15:43, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As @Hurricanehink just explained to you. It probably isn’t a good idea to use fake hurricane seasons. If you’re trying to test something, a better idea that doesn’t run afoul with the guidelines would be to use a past hurricane season such as the 2005 or 2020 hurricane season (as an example, it could be any past season in any basin, so long as it is a real hurricane season).

Fake season warning

Hey there, just a heads up, you can't make test pages like these for fake seasons. You don't own pages on Wikipedia, even if they're a sandbox. User pages can be for the purposes of making new articles, but not for fake seasons. Would you like me to delete the page for you before someone else deletes it? If you want proof that you're not allowed, please see here, here, or here. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:56, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was actually about to tell you about it. If you’re testing it with the sandbox; a better alternative might be to use a particularly active past season; such as the 2005 or 2020 seasons. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 17:06, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve got you started on the real hurricane season. You can finish it. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 17:28, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging @Hurricanehink, I’d like him to read this; I have fixed the chart to where it is within guidelines. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 17:29, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Quick question: as this is clearly a test sandbox page with no indication it'll be moved to mainspace, shouldn't it be allowed per WP:UPYES? The three examples you listed were an abandoned userspace draft and two arrays of articles, neither of which are comparable to a single infobox on an otherwise blank page. GeorgeMemulous (talk) 17:58, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, @Hurricane Clyde, I would suggest not editing another person's userspace page without getting their permission based off of a perceived notion that they had broken a policy. From my perspective it's unclear and leaning on not breaking any policy at all. See also WP:NOBAN. GeorgeMemulous (talk) 18:04, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Still though; if it’s an editing test; My advice would be to edit based on a real hurricane season; doesn’t strictly have to be the same basin; it could be both the Atlantic and Pacific seasons on the game box. But I would strongly advise against fake seasons.

Like for instance, on my template sandbox; I have been testing user boxes out; and I have a rollback/pending changes box on there that is purposely set to 2099 (75 years in the future) because I’m testing the template out to see what it looks like. And no, I am not a rollbacker or pending changes reviewer (there is a disclaimer stating that it is an editing test). Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 18:05, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also @GeorgeMemulous, neither of us have been here any longer than two years. You only have 1,900 edits; I only have 2,300. @Hurricanehink is an administrator who has been on here nearly 20 years; and has 61,000 edits. He’s got way more experience than you; and he said that Kirk shouldn’t be putting fake seasons/storms in a sandbox. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 18:12, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GeorgeMemulous (talk · contribs) - if there is no indication a page will ever be in mainspace, and it isn't serving any productive edits toward Wikipedia as a whole but to speculate about fake storms, then no, that isn't allowed, per those previous MFD's. A lot of users over the years have done similar projects, which is why I brought up the hypothetical hurricanes wiki page. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:19, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't WP:NDRAFT apply here? It's more or less a userspace draft and more of a sandbox even then. So what if it's all speculation? The fact is it's a simple userspace page used to test a template and I feel as a whole this is a very official and WP:BITEy response to what was hardly a problem in the first place. A good quote I found from there:

Userspace is a scratch pad for the person who has it. Unless a page (of any kind) in userspace is either an attack or blatant advertising, there's not much reason to mess with it.

It's a sandbox and will be forgotten and will be deleted automatically under G13 in 6 months. It doesn't explicitly target or personally attack anyone, nor spread any sort of (actual and believeable) hoax, nor is it a clear violation of NOTFILEHOST as a single infobox.

I know I'm a less experienced editor than an administrator, but I can't help but think this is a far-overblown response to a harmless page that otherwise would go more or less completely unnoticed, to an editor that has already shown they've been partially demotivated from editing Wikipedia. GeorgeMemulous (talk) 19:22, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What we need to do instead of criticizing every single little thing; shouldn’t we maybe politely show him the right way to do it? Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 20:13, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(And I’ve been more demotivated, thank you.) HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 20:53, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well you’re certainly not being demotivated by me @HurricaneKirk2024; you’re just learning. We all make mistakes. I was in your position once; in the not too distant past. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 04:07, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve made plenty of mistakes here. All we can do is learn from them; and try to do better the next time. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 04:11, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yea that's fine, as long as it's not about fake hurricane seasons. There's a whole website for hypothetical hurricanes, we don't need that on this website that covers actual real events (as I have to remind users every now and then). ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:33, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

HK2024, the fake hurricane tables in your primary sandbox appear to run afoul of policy as well. Drdpw (talk) 18:21, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve looked. The only thing that majorly ran afoul was the fake 2025 summary (I have since blanked that one out); and some minor issues on the 2024 (Milton pegged as a hypothetical category 6 hurricane); but other than that, that particular sandbox is salvageable. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 18:42, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Another thing; if you’re just trying to test the system out. You might try using obvious test names such as Test1, Test2, etc. And then remove the tests once you’re done. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 18:43, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just like with me; I test userbox templates that don’t apply to me, but I purposely construe the date on the box to a date way out in the future (and I have a disclaimer saying that I DON’T hold those permissions highlighted); I have those templates up though mainly as a bookmark in case I ever end up with rollback rights or pending changes rights in the future. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 18:44, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Or maybe provide information on both the Atlantic and Pacific basins (or even all worldwide basins) in the same table; if you’re just testing it out. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 18:46, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Those info boxes were based of some of my drawings I was doing. HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 20:54, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ok, so I cannot alter reality. HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 20:38, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

but I don’t wanna join that website? HurricaneKirk2024 (talk) 20:45, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good, you're interested in this reality then. That's good, there's enough misinformation out there, we need people who actually want to write about what's actually happened. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:31, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some advice, and a smile, for you!

Hello HurricaneKirk2024, ChrisWx has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Go on, smile! Cheers, and happy editing!
Smile at others by adding {{subst:Smile}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

I saw that you said you felt demotivated from editing Wikipedia. I'm sorry that you feel that way, but just know that things will get better. My best advice to you is to take the advice that other editors give you and learn from it so you can improve, and look over some of the policies in the topics you edit in, like the WikiProjects on Weather and Tropical cyclones and their respective subpages and guidelines, so you can get a better understanding of the rules when editing here. I also suggest that you, @Hurricane Clyde and GeorgeMemulous: who I think could use this point of guidance as well: look over this guideline and not make high amounts of comments on talk pages, just simply look over the discussion and get an idea of what consensus is for when you edit, and just voice your opinion with a comment or two if there's any discussions which call for different opinions to be voiced.

This is just some advice of mine to help you out when editing Wikipedia, and we are definitely not trying to demotivate you. I think you are a constructive, competent editor who just needs some pointers in the right direction to help your editing skills get better. I want this to be a welcoming place for you while you learn the ropes on here, and if you have any questions about this, don't hesitate to ping me and ask them. Thank you, and I hope these pointers can help! ChrisWx ☁️ (talk - contribs) 04:35, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

+ 1. I'm sorry that you got a lot of heat in these past few weeks, it was just an unfortunate coincidence. :) Sir MemeGod  18:24, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Advice

Please dont create articles on Tropical Cyclones until they are sufficiently notable. Not every storm needs its own stand alone article !Insendieum! ✉️ 22:25, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Another thing, please stop going off topic in talk pages, and please stop asking people to help with your draft articles all the time. !Insendieum! ✉️ 22:16, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Insendieum, as much as I didn’t want to, I have issued Kirk a level 2 warning because he has gone off topic several times in the past 24 hours. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 23:41, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hurricane Kristy

Kristy doesn’t seem too notable besides an imminent rapid intensification, and it doesnt seem that any land will be impacted except some swells onto the coastline. Remember, not every storm needs an article. Insendieum ✉️ 21:41, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The NHC says it will become a Category 3. Kristy should have an article in my opinion. LemonJuiceIsSour (talk) 21:43, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cat 4* LemonJuiceIsSour (talk) 01:24, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, do you like my new username? LemonJuiceIsSour (talk) 21:43, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I like your username, also I must mention, just because a storm is major hurricane status DOES NOT make it notable, the only things that do make it notable are impacts, or records. Also, please stop going off topic in your user talk pages. Insendieum ✉️ 23:34, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notable meteorological histories could also give reason for an article. But Kristy, from what Im telling from forecasts will not be notable in any of the 3 categories. Just another Pacific major hurricane. Insendieum ✉️ 23:37, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Going back (sorta) on topic here: if it were my opinion; unless Kristy gets to being a category 5 or a high end category 4; then it probably won’t be notable enough unless it hits land. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 23:58, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Which just to remind both of you (@Insendieum included); user talk pages do allow for a reasonable degree of generalization. But they still can’t go excessively off topic. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 00:01, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have worked on your page and made improvements @LemonJuiceIsSour Insendieum ✉️ 00:58, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ok thank you LemonJuiceIsSour (talk) 01:04, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
