Speedy deletion of File:Photograph of the August 2024 Mound City, South Dakota tornado.jpeg

The media file that you uploaded, File:Photograph of the August 2024 Mound City, South Dakota tornado.jpeg, has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it was a copyright violation and had no credible claim of fair use or permission. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition has been deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the file belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion review. — JJMC89 (T·C) 02:33, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

How's it going?

Hey there WeatherWriter! I saw the semi-retired template on your user page, and I just wanted to check in. I've really appreciated your help during my journey here, from the TI12 stuff to learning about featured images, so thank you for that. I hope that whatever you are doing finds you well, and hope to still see you around periodically. :)

(P.S., you may want to stay active for at least 2 more weeks (assuming you are even retiring), I can't tell you about it but you'll enjoy it ;D ) SirMemeGod  12:42, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Oh, well semi-retired isn’t the “best” template probably, but it was the only one that would match my situation. I’m not planning to retire at all, but my editing will probably a whole lot less than normal. I mentioned it above to Hurricanehink. From February to August 2024, I averaged about 747 edits per month. We are over halfway into September and I have a total of about 60 mainspace edits. That’s what I mean. I’ll probably still be “on” every day or every other day doing edits, but it might be like 2-3 edits a day, rather than a lot of edits. I’m planning on keeping up the research on tornadoes in 2024 / tornadoes of 2024 articles, but I probably won’t be creating new articles for a while. Hopefully that explains my situation some. It probably will feel like I “semi-retired” from my typical editing style/edit count, but it isn’t like a true “semi-retiring”. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 18:51, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

{{semi-wikibreak}} would be a more appropriate template then. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 19:15, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Semi-retired implies that you are intend to permanently spend less time editing. Semi-Wikibreak implies that you only intend to temporarily reduce editing; even if it’s for an undefined or relatively long (a few months) period of time.

SPI

I know that per @Sir MemeGod, you have a semi retired template on your user page; but I wanted to give this message.

Please don’t post any messages on my talk page about SPI investigations unless you are warning me that I am being accused of sockpuppetry; because you’re probably not going to get a reply back on those comments and I’ll probably revert your comment.

Per criticism from Bbb23 and others (not pinged); I will be backing away from project space a bit (except places like WP: Weather, WP:WPTC, WP:WV, WP:APPA, and WP:EKY and a couple others. I will especially be backing away from SPI, and focusing more on article related stuff such as creating tornado lists for Hurricanehink; improving my West Virginia tornado list; creating redirects; and article improvements. Thank you. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 16:12, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

And o by the way; is the semi-retired template a mistake? If you’re only taking a temporary break: there are {{Wikibreak}} templates you know. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 16:17, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
