Hello!

The Wikimedia Foundation is seeking to improve the community consultation outreach process for Foundation policies, and we are interested in why you didn't participate in a recent consultation that followed a community discussion you’ve been part of.

Please fill out this short survey to help us improve our community consultation process for the future. It should only take about three minutes.

The privacy policy for this survey is here. This survey is a one-off request from us related to this unique topic.

Thank you for your participation, Kbrown (WMF) 10:44, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Voting in the 2019 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 on Monday, 2 December 2019. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate in the 2019 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:19, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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!

Hello,
It has come to my attention that you have made these icons to visually indicate the status of active tropical cyclones. As you know, they include variants for the Saffir–Simpson scale, the JMA scale, the IMD scale, the Météo-France scale, and the Australian scale, and their geometry indicates their direction of rotation and thus the hemisphere they exist in. However, the Saffir–Simpson scale is the typical scale used to classify South Atlantic tropical cyclones, which exist in the Southern Hemisphere, but the Saffir–Simpson scale icons only include variants rotating anti-clockwise. So, what should be done for future South Atlantic cyclones?

@Grant Exploit: The South Atlantic storms will, unfortunately, have to have the incorrect rotation. For starters, nobody would support adding in additional colors just for the South Atlantic. The storms down there are sporadic (we aren't guaranteed to get one for years) and short-lived, so it isn't really worth the effort of going through all the processes.

@Hurricane Noah: Thanks for the response. I put in the effort to create some icons. Categories 3–5 were excluded as in the exceedingly unlikely instance the South Atlantic spawns a major hurricane, the nearly visually identical Australian scale icons could be used.

@Grant Exploit: You aren't getting what I am saying. You NEED CONSENSUS to add additional storm colors to the storm colors template before any icons can be used. There isn't any reason to make separate colors just for South Atlantic so this simply dies at that point. Also, you don't need to ping me on my own talk page as I get notified every time someone edits it. Noah^Talk 03:07, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So I’ve just seen your edits in the 2019 Nio cyclone season article and reverted them. As of this edit, only the JTWC classifies the system and so what? We still include it in the article since there is a designation and it is the JTWC. There are other articles that include JTWC-only systems anyway.

The problem is, you are displaying scales that arent for this basin and unofficial information. This is simply overriding the RSMC, who still has this as a LPA per the last warning. This is a LPA, not a TS. Whatever the RSMC says is what goes as the section title as well as for the timeline and table. Noah^Talk 13:40, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
