bad practices

> deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:David Futrelle, is considered bad practice

the whole page is gone now so apparently others agree the comments there were not legitimate — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:1C2:1901:C008:216:B6FF:FE58:88BA (talk) 05:40, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

@2601:1C2:1901:C008:216:B6FF:FE58:88BA: Hi there! Still, deleting other user's comments is considered bad practice per WP:TPO. Changing other people's comment can be seen as intrusive to the user who commented on the talk page. -INeedSupport- (not really) 13:15, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

reversed edits

You deleted my contributions to the birth/death dates of several individuals on the Wiki calendar, stating I need verification [1]; the articles themselves are verification! Talk to the people who created the articles if you want verifications! I merely posted the vital dates of those people b/c they weren't in the calendars! Won't make THAT mistake again! 2605:E000:121C:8B69:69AF:1E1:35EA:AED5 (talk) 03:23, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

@2605:E000:121C:8B69:69AF:1E1:35EA:AED5: Hi there! Perhaps I should’ve said this earlier, but articles are not sufficient enough for verification due to a relatively recent change in WP:DOYSTYLE. I once thought adding articles was enough, but I soon got a warning about that. -INeedSupport- (Time for Christmas!) 04:01, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
Hi. From Wikipedia:DOY "Only the births and deaths of people who are themselves subjects of Wikipedia articles should be listed", which is what I did. As I said, verification is up to those who published the articles; I don't have the inclination to verify their sources, just to contribute to a DOY. I was including people w/Wiki articles w/o DOY entries into DOY as a courtesy to users. 2605:E000:121C:8B69:69AF:1E1:35EA:AED5 (talk) 05:16, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
@2605:E000:121C:8B69:69AF:1E1:35EA:AED5: It is true that WP:DOY states that. However, if you read what is below it, it emotions that any materials lacking a reliable source shall be subject for removal. -INeedSupport- (Time for Christmas!) 05:33, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

Your signature

Please see WP:Appearance and color, which says to avoid markup that enlarges the font size of your sig. If you're doing this to highlight your own posts and make them easier to find, you can use a gadget or custom CSS to do so. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 23:57, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

@NinjaRobotPirate: Oops. Went ahead and removed the big brackets in my signature. Thanks for telling me that! -INeedSupport- (Time for Christmas!) 00:17, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

As you can probably tell from my use of talkback, I haven't been active for quite some time. Is this Ping template the new preferred way to notify users of replies? Moosehadley 20:48, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
@Moosehadley: Well notifying users on instances is preferred. The ping template is one way to notify users. -INeedSupport- (Happy New Year!) 23:03, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Andy Dingley (talk) 18:20, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

@Andy Dingley: Hi there! I do understand that censoring comments is considered bad practice. However, personal attacks are not allowed at all per WP:NPA. That, along with WP:RPA, is why I have to remove it on the edit warring page. You can also refer to the discussion on my talk page called 201.190.106.121, where I'd been warned not to allow any personal attacks at all. -INeedSupport- :3 18:31, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

Ballet

Hi, please do not put back the Kitri jump image, it is the "Kitri jump", it exists in classical ballet. It is just a classical jump plus a back bend. Just google Kitri jump and you will see for yourself, I am not making bad edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Karkanxholl (talk • contribs) 03:12, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

@Karkanxholl: Hi there! I'll leave it for now, however someone else might undo you edits due to WP:FRINGE. I don't think you're a bad editor. If I did, then I would've given you warnings on your talk page. By the way, next time you make a comment, please add four tildes (~~~~) next to your comment. Cheers! -INeedSupport- :3 03:18, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
Ok, I will read WP:FRINGE, thank you. This is from one of the full length classical ballets, so I don't think it will be a problem for the regular editors of the article, they will be familiar with it. It is a standard step today and has been since Maya Plisetskaya performed it so it would be a bit like arguing about when did it become classical ballet ... Karkanxholl (talk) 03:59, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Recent close at ANI.

FYI, it's bad practice to close noticeboard discussions that you've participated in, doubley so if you made the original complaint, tripling it if you're not an admin. (BTW, neither am I). That one was a slam dunk, but still not a good idea. Just a friendly tip from another editor...not a warning in any way. John from Idegon (talk) 07:30, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

@John from Idegon: Got it. Thanks! INeedSupport :3 13:23, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Penguin Point (restaurant chain) (February 23)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:
This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and 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:
This draft and its sources do not provide enough information to establish business notability.

Speedy deletion nomination of Lippert Components

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that the page you created, Lippert Components, was tagged as a test page under section G2 of the criteria for speedy deletion and has been or soon may be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. ___CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 18:24, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

Lippert Components moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Lippert Components, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. ___CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 18:27, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

ERG

Just FYI, I am fine with your edit here if you think it is an better reflection of the facts/sources. My sole aim for this reversion was removing the obvious vandalism, and not meant as a determination of the exact wording that should be used in the article. Happy editing! Abecedare (talk) 16:38, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

@Abecedare: Got it. Thanks! INeedSupport :3 16:39, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
In fact, I just realized that the first sentence of the version I reverted to is not even complete. Can you take a look? Abecedare (talk) 16:40, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
@Abecedare: Yeah, the first sentence was vandalized. Looks like the last clean version was this, to which I reverted back to that version. INeedSupport :3 16:45, 14 March 2019 (UTC) Actually, looking back at other edits, the first sentence remains the same. INeedSupport :3 16:48, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

Replacement of an image for a Wikipedia page

Hello there! I'm so sorry, you might remember a few minutes ago the image of Tina Desai disappeared! It was a mistake from me before making this account and I was worried sick! Thank you for fixing it. However, is there any way to replace the image? Tina Desai has new images so can u replace the present one? Thanks Biggesthalseyfan (talk) 17:14, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

@Biggesthalseyfan: Hi there! Welcome to Wikipedia! There is a way to replace the image. I recommend you to head to WP:IMAGES. There, you will see several tutorials on how to upload an image and how to put it in an article. It may take a while to master it, but you will do fine at it. Have a good day! INeedSupport :3 17:18, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

Thank you very much! Hope you have a great day as well! Biggesthalseyfan (talk) 17:20, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Penguin Point (restaurant chain) (April 16)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by John from Idegon was:
This version cannot be published due to WP:BLP violations in the incident section. All information about the perpetrator is a BLP violation. We do not discuss the crimes of WP:NOTFAMOUS people in articles that are not primarily about their crime. No opinion beyond that but that alone is enough to preclude publication.
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 when they have been resolved.

If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
 The comment the reviewer left was:
The notability requirements for a corporation are detailed at WP:CORP. Your sourcing is insufficient to show notability as defined in the cited guidelines. You need multiple (generally at least three but that varies up or down by the quality and detail of the individual sources), reliable, secondary, independent sources that discuss the subject in detail. In addition, at least one of the aforementioned sources must be either geographically well removed from the location of the subject or widely (like nationally) circulated. You've got a couple sources that discuss specific stores in detail (not sufficient. Either the reviews must contain much more detail re the company as opposed to the store; or, you'd need reviews of many more locations or reviews from distant sources), you've got a mention of a job change from a reliable secondary independent source. That's all and that isn't enough. I'll be online for a couple hours tonight. Message me on my talk if you want to go over it source by source or if you have further sources you'd like to discuss

@John from Idegon: Thanks for the review! Unfortunately, I don't really have time to discuss the sources today. Perhaps another time would be best. INeedSupport :3 02:27, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
That's fine. I find it hard to commit to a future time, but I'll be happy to help if you can catch me. I'm a Northern Indiana kid by birth long ago (I lived in Hobart, Indiana and the grands lived on Lake Beaver Dam near Warsaw.). One thing: take a look at your "cite news" templates. The "work" parameter should be the name of the associated newspaper, not the website. If the locale isn't well known, also fill in the "location" parameter with the wikilinked title of the article on the settlement where the paper is published. The "agency" parameter should be used if the story came from a source external to the paper such as AP, BBC, UPI, Reuters, TASS, etc. The publisher is the corporate name at the bottom of the website. The "date" parameter is filled in with the date of the article and should never be omitted. Neither should the author. If the article isn't bylined, fill in the very first "last name" parameter with "staff" and omit all the others. Thanks. John from Idegon (talk) 02:48, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

April 2019

My edits are balanced and use a wide variety of reputable even primary sources. No one has questioned their accuracy. Please refrain from your edit warring. WP:EW If you have specifics take then to the talk page of the article. If I haven't heard from you after a reasonable length of time I'll assume you no longer object. 67.177.112.196 (talk) 04:10, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi there! Although you may think your edits are right, adding it all back is also considered edit warring. You mention WP:EW, but it clearly mentions that even that you’re right, you should not edit war, or in fact violate the three revert rule. I only made one revert. I see that you used the talk page, which is good. Try not to add the information back until consensus is reached. Cheers! INeedSupport :3 13:52, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

Hey

Have you written articles for cyclones before or this your first? NoahTalk 20:51, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

@Hurricane Noah:Yes, it is my first cyclone article. Sorry that I created an article while being inexperienced.INeedSupport :3 20:54, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
Don't worry about it. Everyone was inexperienced when they first started. Here are all the articles I have contributed significantly too (they are listed in order of creation/contribution). I only started writing them myself back in August. NoahTalk 21:03, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
Fani likely is a Cat 5, but I doubt it will stay there until 18Z. Likely is weakening now. NoahTalk 15:47, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
@Hurricane Noah: Perhaps it is based on Dvorak numbers, but the JTWC hasn't classified it as a Cat 5 yet. INeedSupport :3 16:02, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
Yeah... Why I said it is likely one. Although it likely wont stay there until the next measurement time. NoahTalk 15:57, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
My guess is 130 knots and 920 something mbar for 18Z. The time for C5 has passed. NoahTalk 17:34, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

We Beat the Street

Why did you tag the above article as an WP:CSD#A1?--Bbb23 (talk) 22:24, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

@Bbb23: I thought that it meet that criteria because the article lacks the sources it needed and plus it's been a stub for nearly over a decade. Perhaps it doesn't meet that criteria based on you messaging me that. INeedSupport :3 22:31, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
It doesn't come close to meeting A1. Lacking context means an article like (always new, too, btw, although that's not required):
Title: Jeffrey Jones
Content: Ten employees in the company.
In other words, the reader has no idea what the article is about. The article you tagged is obviously about a book. You'll never find a years-old article meeting A1.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:38, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
@Bbb23: Ok, I got it. Thanks for telling me that! INeedSupport :3 22:41, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

Activity on 'Bus spotting' article

Hi there, I would like to inform you that I have been trying relentlessly to revert the edits, which are seen as vandalism by the user Exposemarvin, who in real life is known as (Redacted).

There has been continued activity on the page by him, where he amended the content with a poor command of the English language as well as being overly biased in his entry.

I have since filed for a Full-protection on the page with ANI, pending response. NatIsrael972 (talk) 12:40, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

@NatIsrael972: Eh. I thought you were a sock of the vandalism account because of your edit summary, but apparently you're not based on your editing behavior. Sorry about that. Thanks for your anti-vandalism effort!. I don't think a full-protection is necessary because there was only one account that was making bad edits, and the user is currently indefinitely blocked. Cheers! INeedSupport :3 12:49, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
@IINeedSupport: Sincerest gratitude for your help in the effort to curb the account! Too bad this is how our hobby is, it became a breeding ground for evil like him to show people "who's boss". Thank you once again! <3 NatIsrael972 (talk) 12:54, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

Article of the month, by Jason Rees

History of tropical cyclone naming - The practice of using names to identify tropical cyclones goes back several centuries, with storms named after places, saints or things they hit before the formal start of naming in each basin. The credit for the first usage of personal names for weather systems is given to the Queensland Government Meteorologist Clement Wragge, who named tropical cyclones and anticyclones between 1887 and 1907. This system of naming fell into disuse for several years after Wragge retired, until it was revived in the latter part of World War II for the Western Pacific basin. Over the following decades, various naming schemes have been introduced for the world's oceans, including for parts of the Atlantic, Pacific and the Indian Ocean. The majority of these lists are compiled by the World Meteorological Organization's tropical cyclone committee for the region and include names from different cultures as well as languages. Over the years there has been controversy over the names used at various times, with names being dropped for religious and political reasons. For example, female names were exclusively used in the basins at various times between 1945 - 2000 and were the subject of several protests. The names of significant tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean and Australian region are retired from the naming lists and replaced with another name, at meetings of the various tropical cyclone committees.

Storm of the month and other tropical activity

Cyclone Fani was an extremely severe cyclonic storm that made landfall in Odisha, India on May 3. The storm achieved peak intensity as a near Category 5-equivalent cyclone with 3-minute sustained winds of 215 km/h (130 mph), 1-minute sustained winds of 250 km/h (155 mph), and a minimum central pressure of 937 hPa (mbar). Fani caused over $1.8 billion (2019 USD) in damage in India and Bangladesh and killed at least 89 people.

Since the last newsletter, twelve systems have formed.

  • Southwest Indian Ocean
    In the Southwest Indian Ocean, Cyclone Kenneth made landfall in Mozambique approximately 1 month after Cyclone Idai, causing widespread flooding and destruction. Overall, Kenneth killed at least 52 people and caused more than $100 million in damage. Additionally, Tropical Cyclone Lorna formed over the eastern portion of the basin in late April and dissipated in early May without affecting land.
  • Australian Region
    In the Australian Region, cyclones Lili and Ann formed in early May and both affected land. No deaths were reported, although Lili caused moderate damage in the Maluku Islands and East Timor.
  • South Pacific
    In the South Pacific, a tropical depression formed in mid-may, but failed to intensify and dissipated a few days later.
  • South Atlantic
    In the South Atlantic, Subtropical Storm Jaguar formed in late May and lasted for approximately two days before becoming extratropical.
  • Western Pacific
    In the Western Pacific, three weak tropical depressions existed during the first half of May.
  • North Atlantic
    In the North Atlantic, Subtropical Storm Andrea formed on the same day as Jaguar, but failed to intensify and dissipated on the next day.




  • The Eastern Pacific hurricane season began on May 15.
  • The Atlantic hurricane season will begin at 2:00 AM EDT on June 1.
  • The Central Pacific hurricane season will begin sometime after 12:00 AM HST on June 1.

New WikiProject Members since the last newsletter in April 2019

More information can be found here. This list lists members who have joined/rejoined the WikiProject since the release of the last issue in April 2019. Sorted chronologically. Struckout users denote users who have left or have been banned.

To our new members: welcome to the project, and happy editing! Feel free to check the to-do list at the bottom right of the newsletter for things that you might want to work on. To our veteran members: thank you for your edits and your tireless contributions!

Editorial for welcoming new users, by Hurricanehink

Every year, editors new and old help maintain the new season of season articles. The older users are likely used to the standards of the project, such as how to Wikilink and reference properly. Newer users might make mistakes, and they might make them over and over again if they don't know better. If anyone (who happens to read this) comes across a new user, please don't bite, because with enough pushback, they'll decide that this group of editors is too mean, and unfun. This is all a volunteer project; no one can force anyone to do anything. We're all on here because of our love of knowledge and tropical cyclones. If you find someone new, consider using the official WPTC welcome template - Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical cyclones/Welcome.

I also encourage that if you know any tropical cyclone researchers, please speak up and try recruiting them to edit. Veteran editors can't keep editing forever. Life gets busy, and the real world beckons!

Member of the month (edition) – Yellow Evan

Yellow Evan has been involved with WPTC since 2008. Since the last newsletter, Yellow Evan has taken 5 typhoon articles to good article status as well as created 2 more. Overall, he has created and/or significantly contributed to more than 130 good articles. Your work in the Western Pacific Basin is invaluable... Thank you for your contributions!

This section lists content that have become featured, articles and lists, since the past newsletter in mid-April 2019.
From April 14–May 31, 2019, 1 featured article was promoted:

WikiProject Tropical Cyclones: News & Developments

  • An awards program for the project began on May 31. It involves 25 levels that may be gained by earning points for completing various actions such as getting good or featured articles. Additional awards will be added in the future.
  • As of this news letter, there are more articles ranked a good article or better (1317) than articles ranked B-class or worse (1272), for the first time in the project's history.
  • Every Atlantic hurricane season from 1945 to 2007 is rated at least a GA. That is an impressive feat, and an incredibly body of work among many editors.
  • Cyclone Raja became the 150th featured article in the project. Thanks to all of the editors and their tireless edits for writing 2.7% of all of Wikipedia's featured articles.
  • In the 24 hours after Hurricane Michael's TCR was released, the article on the hurricane was edited 82 times by 18 different users.
  • In March 2019, the most popular article in the project was Cyclone Idai, viewed 231,969 times during the month. The generic cyclone was 2nd most popular, with 131,080 views. In 3rd place was Hurricane Katrina with 112,283 views. Included in the top 20 were the 2018 and 19 Atlantic hurricane seasons, hurricanes Michael, Florence, Irma, Maria, and Harvey, and the 1896 Cedar Keys hurricane, which was TFA on March 20th.

New articles since the last newsletter include:

New GA's include:

Current assessment table

Assessments valid as of this printing. Depending on when you may be viewing this newsletter, the table may be outdated. See here for the latest, most up to date statistics.
As of this issue, there are 150 featured articles and 69 featured lists. There are 142 A-class articles, but that number is subject to change, depending if we mandate that all A-class articles have an A-class review first. There are 956 good articles, meaning it is possible we get to our 1000th GA by the end of the year. There are only 61 B-class articles, perhaps because because most articles of that quality already passed a GA review. There are 350 C-class articles, 720 start-class articles, and 141 stub-class articles, with 29 lists and 8 current articles. The number of lists may decrease further as the "Tropical cyclone X" articles continue to be reclassified as set index articles. These figures mean that nearly half of the project is rated a GA or better - including the lists/current/future articles, there are 1272 articles that are below GA status, versus 1317 that are GA or better.

Re: Caitlyn Jenner Article

Good Afternoon, I am new to all of this. What seems to be the problem with my article? Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by SGFNYC (talk • contribs) 17:19, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

@SGFNYC: Hi there! If you want to create an article, I recommend seeing WP:YFA. There, it will show you how to create your first article. However, it will first be created in a draft space. Once you created your article in the draft space, you can submit it for review, where a reviewer will see if your article is good for inclusion to Wikipedia or there are some issues that needed to be fixed. Good luck on your article! INeedSupport :3 17:24, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
@INeedSupport: : Good Afternoon! I believe this was a completed edit, with proper citation, and linking to the individuals involved in the production. Could you please help me to understand what is incorrect, or what needs to be added or subtracted in order to see this live? Thank you again for your time and consideration. SGFNYC (talk) 20:16, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
@SGFNYC: Hi there! I don't know what you did since your edit was deleted, which makes me unable to see it. Looks like your edit was reverted because you copy and pasted information from another article without giving credit. If that's the case, then that's a copyright violation and it has to be removed. If you want to learn how to insert a citation, I recommend going to WP:REFSTART. I recommend going to WP:TEAHOUSE if you want any help, since they offer help better than me. Cheers!

Democracy

Stop removing my article about democracy. I provided references and they're all good so stop removing it - sorry but not all books are going to be free for you to read online - deal with it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.50.214.113 (talk) 00:10, 6 September 2019 (UTC) As well please remove the "Cite error: There are <ref group=lower-alpha> tags or Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page). templates on this page, but the references will not show without a

template or

template (see the help page)." at the end of the page because I don't know how to do it. And if you have any useful references to add than go for it. But stop obscuring the history.

Hi there! I only reverted your edits once (although it has 3 edits in it). There were other users involved as well. The revision I reverted does not have any citations at that time, thus I have to remove it due to being unsourced. I can try to find some citations for you if you would like, although it appears that you already found some. I've already fixed the citation error by adding a footnote section to the article. Either I or another editor will review your edits soon. Cheers! INeedSupport :V 01:42, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

I have evidence-the NHC and a book I found in a library Ike20087 (talk) 18:08, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

@Ike20087: You can go ahead and cite it using what you have then. I gave you a link on the talk page that shows you how to make a citation. INeedSupport :V 23:38, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

I went for "restore this version" rather than a revert, because your revert was correct but a previous IP edit before your revert was still pending and also needed to go away. Schazjmd (talk) 18:49, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

@Schazjmd: I know since I usually check the history after I reverted edits. Thanks for restoring the article! INeedSupport ❄️ 18:54, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

Warnings for IvanPlayyz13

I think the second warning for User:IvanPlayyz13 may have been a little harsh. From their editing history, they may not have seen your first warning by the time you posted the second. Most of the edits appear to be based on Force Thirteen's intensity assessments or a misinterpretation of forecasts for Hurricane Laura as the actual intensity, so I think they are in good faith. TornadoLGS (talk) 16:33, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

@TornadoLGS: Oh ok. Thanks! INeedSupport 😷 16:50, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

U must hate force thirteen IvanPlayyz13 (talk) 17:37, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

@IvanPlayzz13: INeedSupport is merely saying that Force Thirteen is not a reliable source, and that their analysis if storms will spread false information. Please stop adding information from Force Thirteen to Wikipedia. Also, are you the same user as IvanGamezz (talk · contribs)? If you are, please only use one account, and respond on the sock puppet investigation page. Thanks.~ Destroyeraa🌀 22:09, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
