I saw the messages you sent me. I am sorry about my mistakes. I sometimes can make mistakes like these without me realizing. How can I try and edit more better while editing a lot more at the same time? StormHunterBryante5467 (talk) 02:56, 15 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Hello there, @Hurricanehink, I don't necessarily know if you still do FA mentoring, but I do want some guidance regarding an song article I have worked on. I listed the song "I Feel It Coming" by the Weeknd for peer review, and I was wondering if you'd like to give some general thoughts? I totally understand if you don't want to, thank you! michael's dear melancholy, 20:03, 18 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Hey @Hurricanehink, hope all is well.

A while back you mentioned that you'd give me some ideas on storm-related articles to start and/or expand. I've been mainly focusing on expanding Wikipedia pages for footballers, but I'd like to get back into storms, so I was wondering if you had any articles I could expand or create.

I had a look at Hurricane Larry today, which I substantially expanded with your help a few years ago, and thought it might be pretty close to becoming a GA. Thought you might want to take a look and give some suggestions for a few final improvements. Also, Tropical cyclones in 2002 is almost finished on its long path to becoming an FL. The hope is that after it's finished, that it provides a good model for the 30-odd other tropical cyclones by year articles on reaching the same goal. 🐔 Chicdat  ^{Bawk to me!} 13:32, 22 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Hey Hurricanehink, remember the chat on the tropical cyclones in 1990 draft? I added just the summary on the North Atlantic portion, can you check to see if it is good? I think I could have made mistakes, but if one is found, kindly revert it. Have a good night! I will work on it more tomorrow. StormHunterBryante5467 (talk) 01:37, 25 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

My apologies for being so hard-nosed on the review, and thank you for being so understanding. RoySmith (talk) 15:29, 26 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

The first round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 26 February. As a reminder, we are no longer disqualifying the lowest-scoring contestants; everyone who competed in round 1 will advance to round 2 unless they have withdrawn or been banned from Wikipedia. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receive tournament points at the end of each round. Unlike the round points in the main WikiCup table, which are reset at the end of each round, tournament points are carried over between rounds and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far.

Round 1 was very competitive compared with previous years; two contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and the top 16 contestants all scored more than 500 round points. The following competitors scored more than 800 round points:

• English Island, South Australia Gog the Mild (submissions) with 1,168 round points, mainly from 4 featured articles and 4 good articles on old military history, in addition to an assortment of GA and FA reviews.
• Generalissima (submissions) with 1,095 round points, mainly from 2 FAs, 2 featured lists, 8 GAs, and 16 Did You Know articles mainly on historical topics.
• Delaware BeanieFan11 (submissions), with 866 round points from 20 GAs, 23 DYKs, and 2 In the News articles primarily about athletes.
• Sammi Brie (submissions), with 846 round points from 16 GAs about radio and TV stations, 45 GA reviews, and 3 DYKs.
• Canada Hey man im josh (submissions), with 816 round points from 5 FLs about sports and Olympic topics, 46 FL reviews, 3 ITN articles, and a large number of bonus points.
• Italy MaranoFan (submissions), with 815 round points primarily from 3 FAs and 1 GA about music, in addition to 9 article reviews.

The full scores for round 1 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 18 featured articles, 26 featured lists, 1 featured-topic article, 197 good articles, 38 good-topic articles and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 23 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 550 reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after 26 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2, which begins on 1 March. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

• The past week has been a difficult week for those involved in the weather community, with all the changes and firings in NOAA and the National Weather Service; and everything involved with NOAA under the second presidency of Donald Trump (new article for all of these events). Hopefully your day can get a little better from this smile! The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 20:50, 3 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Just to let you know, I've started Draft:Tornadoes in Florida per a request you gave a while ago. Will knock out Mississippi and either Kansas or Missouri over the next few weeks. :) — E _F ⁵ 02:02, 22 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

There is a new ongoing request for comment discussion, with the goal to solve the various disputes on weather-related articles (such as tornadoes or hurricanees) on how to best utilize damage estimates in the infobox. Your comments are highly-requested, as the result of this discussion will affect all weather-related articles. This notice is being sent to all editors who have recently edited weather event articles.

You can view and participate in the discussion here: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Weather#RFC - Weather Infobox Damages. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 17:31, 23 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Thank you today for Hurricane Cindy (2005), about "Hurricane Cindy, the first of several hurricanes to hit the United States during the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season. Cindy caused a fair amount of damage, including to the Atlanta Motor Speedway from a tornado, as well as the largest power outage for Entergy, the energy company responsible for Louisiana/Mississippi region. Of course, this whole area would be devastated by Hurricane Katrina just a month and a half later. As a weird bit of foreshadowing, there were five parishes in Louisiana that were declared disaster areas on August 23... the same day that Hurricane Katrina formed. Cindy wasn't all that bad compared to the later storms, but it was still significant enough to warrant having an article."! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:49, 29 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
