Would you want to help with a draft

Hey Mjeims. A few months ago, I started the Draft:List of F4 and EF4 tornadoes, which has turned into a huge project. Myself and 8 other editors have worked on it and we probably are about 10-15% of the way done. I wanted to ask if you would want to help work on the draft? I have asked a few other others who work with weather-related articles, and I posted a message to WP:Weather's talk page back when the draft first started, but that was since archived, so now I have just been asking editors to see if they would want/could help with the draft. It's a huge project, but one that will be extremely beneficial in the end. Elijahandskip (talk) 02:28, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I would be honored! I apologize greatly for not coming across this draft until now, but I would be very happy to contribute in it. I have probably skimmed through a good 90% of all tornado related articles, so I should be able to find all the tornadoes needed. Thank you for considering me for this project.

WikiProject Weather: Map Dot & Template/Infobox Colors

Dear project member, This message is being sent out to encourage new ideas and feedback on those proposed in regard to the colors debate for WikiProject Weather. For those who are unaware of what's been happening over the last year, I will give a brief summary. We have been discussing proposed changes to the colors of the dots on tropical cyclone maps and templates and infoboxes across the entire weather project in order to solve issues related to the limited contrast between colors for both normal vision as well as the various types of color blindness (MOS:ACCESS). We had partially implemented a proposal earlier this year, however, it was objected to by a number of people and additional issues were presented that made it evident this wasn't the optimal solution. We tried to come up with other solutions to address the issues related to color contrast, however, none of them gained traction and no consensus was generated.

We need your help and I encourage you to propose your own scale and give feedback on those already listed. Keep in mind that we are NOT making a decision on any individual proposal at this time. We are simply allowing people to make proposals and cultivate them given feedback from other project members. Please visit our project page for additional details. The proposal phase will close no later than December 31st at 23:59 UTC. Noah^Talk 04:27, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

AN/I

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Canvassing at an AfD. The discussion is about the topic Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of United States tornadoes in May 2008. Thank you. GabberFlasted (talk) 20:48, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'd advise you to limit your posts and arguments at AN/I to a very low amount in the future, as many people there will either drill you into submission or try to make you look stupid. It'd probably be better for you to ignore it. United States Man (talk) 22:14, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

United States Man I get it, but has anything I've said not made sense? Does one not have the right to try to make other realize something on this site? Then its a bit sad that one must just look down and do nothing. Mjeims (talk) 22:43, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm just letting you know how it is. Those WP areas are full of condescending bullies. I've felt that way for many years. United States Man (talk) 22:48, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would advise you to engage with discussions at AN/I, and to take on-board what people there tell you. I guess that one person's uninvolved administrator is another person's condescending bully, but don't be deceived into thinking that if you ignore it, it will go away. The canvassing needs to stop: so long as it stops, all will be well, but if it continues, blocks will be forthcoming. Girth Summit _(blether) 23:14, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:TPS also applies to some. United States Man (talk) 23:18, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you would like to spell out a specific concern about my comment here, rather than making vague comments, I invite you to do so. Girth Summit _(blether) 23:23, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Guys, I thank you both for having your concerns over me. Girth Summit, I already took in what canvassing is and already made the commitment in that lengthy talk page to stop it, alongside Elijahandskip. The comment I made to which USM responded was written before I was made to know the full extent of my mistake, and I of course do know many administrators are not condescending, as I've had positive experiences with them. I was maybe a little bummed about the situation back then. But all is good now. Please do not fret over each other in my talk page. Mjeims (talk) 02:10, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Damage

You're doing great work in helping fix old tornado tables. Just a heads up though, we don't use the damage column anymore. That was my idea that we introduced for a few months. The damage estimates are so generalized though that they're not very useful. wxtrackercody (talk · contributions) 05:25, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I know we don't use the damage column, but I do see it pop up from time to time, so for some reason I try to keep it and include it. Should I eliminate it from the tables I've edited? Please let me know to get to it right away. Mjeims (talk) 05:37, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

They don't hurt anything, they're just not very useful. You can remove them from where you've added them or just leave them, doesn't matter too much. Another request, though. Please stay away from pages you see are under construction. You submitted an edit here when I've spent the past two days working on this section off Wiki. You said it's half baked (the table is broken) which is why I haven't published any edits on the site until the entire table is complete. wxtrackercody (talk · contributions) 19:24, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I know. I was just fixing May 23. I did not say that you broke it, but I did, as I was editing, and had to publish because I had to leave and already came back. I'll fix it quickly. Mjeims (talk) 19:43, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

wxtrackercody Got May 23 done. I apologize for interfering in your article, but at least got one of the longer days out of the way. Mjeims (talk) 20:09, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

May 2011

Hey, I reverted your edits because I have been working on those pages and I’d appreciate getting to finish them since I have done it all so far. I know you probably didn’t mean to be rude but if someone else is working on something it’s nice to let them finish. United States Man (talk) 22:16, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I had no idea! I had a similar situation happen to me recently with Cody, but I understand. Mjeims (talk) 22:29, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

March 24

Not sure how this happened, but there's already an article on March 24. Just wanted to bring this to your attention! Tails Wx 03:30, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well I just tried to go through the correct process and make it as a draft first, but guess someone went ahead and created their articles, similar to what happened in January 24 in Texas. I did see it, but I think more people will find the draft as it is published in the 2023 talk page. Mjeims (talk) 03:34, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Guess not, XD. But its fine, as this a devastating situation and we had to go with what was more prepared to be expanded. Mjeims (talk) 16:39, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

User permissions

I'm not sure if you copypasted the table you have on your userpage from somewhere else, but you seem to have "pending changes reviewer" listed as one of your user permissions. All good if it's a mistake, just letting you know. Roundish ⋆t c) 23:54, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Most certainly a mistake, as I've not gotten there yet. I did bring it over from another user, but made it my own with my own data. I'll be taking it down right away. Mjeims (talk) 05:47, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

thank you

thank you for creating the march 31-april 2nd tornado outbreak article so fast, i live in that area and its nice to see more people live about my area 50.103.207.184 (talk) 23:13, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Aye, when you see a Wikipedia article, be sure to know that a lot of hands were necessary to make it happen. I did start it, but dozens of other users came together to fill it with what you see today. Glad it made you happy and I feel warm now. Thank you so much for the kind words.

You Enabled Creation Of A Pointless Tornado Article

For April 2nd. Why?? You know better, and know that other users have established that we have to wait until significant, damaging tornadoes, usually EF3 or higher or causing death have been confirmed. You cannot let the rules slide based on SPC hype and model output, and it’s not debatable. Today underperformed and now I have to mark an article for speedy deletion. We haven’t even had a confirmed EF2. Please, do not do this again and wait until the outbreak over to asses for article eligibility. You know better. TornadoInformation12 (talk) 06:01, 3 April 2024 (UTC)TornadoInformation12[reply]

Brother, I enabled nothing. It was a DRAFT. A draft is there "just in case". Nothing really notable happened, so no article is needed. But the user that created the entry did it as a draft, which can be easily removed if the event does not verify. You are making it sound like marking an article for deletion is an arduous task, and as if I wanted the article to stay. I do not. Mjeims (talk) 15:14, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
