Deadly tornadoes project
[edit]Hey WeatherFollower! Myself along with several other editors are working on an ambitious project: A list of every deadly tornado.
Since it is a large project, I am just letting others with an interest in meteorology know about it.
You are more than welcome to help out if you wish to. The project can be found here: User:WeatherWriter/List of deadly tornadoes. If you have questions about it, feel free to ask me. Cheers and have a wonderful day! The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 20:01, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for the invitation. I'm currently busy perfecting the 2023-24 European Windstorm Season. However, when I get more time I'll be honoured to help out. WeatherFollower (talk) 22:28, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
Quick head's up about TWC winter names
[edit]Hey WeatherFollower, on your userpage, I see you are creating a winter-style article for TWC names. Well, we currently have 2023–24 North American winter to supplement that. Per a more or less consensus, the TWC names aren't used as section headers since they are unofficial names and NOAA has criticized the TWC use of them. However, per a consensus, we still include them in the sections/information about each winter storm in the North American winter articles. I wanted to let you know since we do already have a winter-season article made, up and running. Cheers! (Here is last year's article as how the layouts typically go: 2022–23 North American winter.

- Thank you for your understanding. I'm pursuing this project purely as a hobby, aiming to combine European windstorms and TWC winter storms – a unique endeavour that hasn't been explored before. Recognizing that US storms phenomena are unofficially named, similar to how organizations like JTWC handle tropical cyclones, I see this as an opportunity to enhance my writing and coding skills. My goal is not only personal growth but also to cater to the curiosity of individuals like myself who are eager to witness such an amalgamation. Your guidance is invaluable, and I appreciate it greatly. Many thanks. WeatherFollower (talk) 12:34, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Copying and pasting from sources
[edit]Hello WeatherFollower, I've noticed that your contributions to the 2024–25 European windstorm season article frequently include text from the cited sources with little to no modification or paraphrasing. Per WP:COPYPASTE, this is strongly discouraged (with the exception of quotations), and so any copy-pasted material will be removed. Additionally, many sources you cite are formatted as bare URLs, which can be vulnerable to link rot, so it is advised to use specific citation templates. To see how to cite websites, check out WP:CITEHOW and Template:Cite web. I hope these resources are helpful, and feel free to ask any questions. Cheers :] ArkHyena (it/its) 20:07, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
- Many thanks for the advise, I'll paraphrase and re-word refs from now on. WeatherFollower (talk) 19:24, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
