Your edits on the TORRO scale

Hi there. Your recent edit to the TORRO scale appeared to be rather unconstructive as it removed some rather important information. Darthvader1 (talk) 04:40, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Winter waterspout

Hi,

I've seen that you have the same thinking as me about winter waterspout. I've proposed a merger of that article into the waterspout article. Could you comment in Talk:Waterspout. Pierre cb (talk) 10:53, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

; Project News

;Homosexuality at Good Article Review!

An unfortunate effect of a group less active than in the past is that our articles lose integrity. This one is at Good Article Review for that reason. The talk page is quite active as a result. You have the opportunity to help. This is the corest of our core articles, and it needs some attention because it gets a lot of controversial input from many sides. If you can spare any time to edit the article, please do what you can.

;Paragraph 175 is at Featured Article Review!

Soon after we were informed that Homosexuality is being scrutinized, we heard the same for one of our few Featured Articles. As a participant of the Featured Article process, I think this is actually a good thing. The standards for Featured Articles are getting higher with time. But as a member of this project, that means that a few of ours may be de-listed unless someone can swoop in and save them. This one has to do with the designation of homosexuality as a crime in Germany. Most of this article's sources are in German. If anyone has any particular skill in this area, please lend a hand!

;Gay bathhouse is at Good Article Review! Wtf is going on?

I know you folks think I have much experience in a gay bathhouse, and I hate to disappoint you, but I actually do not. I seem like the sort of person who likes to stroll about in a towel. Shocking, no? It appears that Ashleyvh is single-handedly addressing all the problems with this article at its GA Review. While that's pretty impressive, it's also no doubt exhausting. Can anyone help out there?

;Two GAs and a nominee!

In what I hope will counter the jolt of re-evaluating three Good or Featured Articles, José Sarria and Janet Jackson as gay icon passed as Good Articles, and Black Cat Bar (famous San Francisco oft-raided gay bar) is nominated, all by Otto4711. Rock on, man. You're a machine. Good luck with your nominations. What is it about women that make them gay icons? And are there lesbian icons that aren't lesbians? How about bisexual icons? Am I the only lesbian who reacts with soul-trembling fear at the sight of Angelina Jolie?

;LGBT articles for deletion

New WP:LGBT studies member Pinkkeith has done this cool thing. If you click on that link, you'll see all the articles, categories, templates, and miscellany up for deletion. They're usually there because they're not considered to be not notable. That can be a relative concept, and sometimes it has to be argued that topics pertaining to gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender issues are notable.

;Completely naked women!

Ha! Made you look! Even the guys are looking. Gay pioneers Kay Lahusen's and Barbara Gittings' collection of photographs are up at the [http://digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/dgkeysearchresult.cfm?keyword=kay+lahusen+&submit.x=0&submit.y=0 New York Public Library].

;Tagging articles

It seems a recurring issue which articles to tag, and what to say about a topic that's tagged. Certainly, because an article falls under our scope doesn't necessarily make the person gay. Florida Governor Charlie Crist has been rumored to be gay in some newspaper accounts. Although we all know Fred Phelps is supergay, he won't admit it so instead he does the absolutely awfulest anti-gay things on the planet to deflect suspicion. NAMBLA, the red headed stepchild of the LGBT world, is tagged with an explanation we have yet to decide if we'll keep.

;Member Spotlight: Benjiboi

In the lurking I do around and about on Wiki, I've long been astounded at the forbearance Benjiboi has for the utterly insane. Perhaps not so much, since the message on Benji's talk page notes frequent absences due to homophobia and transphobia. But it takes some kind of ... something that I don't have to face the constant anti-gay POV Benji does.

Benjiboi is a a bit of a WikiFaerie, a WikiGnome and also a member of the Article Rescue Squadron in addition to being a LGBT project member. A few of Benjiboi's favorite links for making the wikiverse more fab are:

  1. Manual of style, a must for anyone redecorating an article.
  2. Reliable sources in content review processes, a wonderful and fully linked essay about sourcing and why we need more and better sources.
  3. [http://scholar.google.com/ Google scholar], which also searches Google books, is a great help in finding reliable sources.

;Member Spotlight: Becksguy

Becksguy didn’t start actively editing until May 2007. His most frequent tasks on Wiki include reverting vandalism to LGBT articles and creating new project-related articles. He comes from New York state, and to prove not all of us are teenagers (ha! I am so totally 15!) he's in his 60s and retired.

Becksguy considers his biggest triumph on Wikipedia so far was a DYK in December 2007 for the first-ever newspaper report on what became AIDS, in the New York Native. He's also helped save several project-related articles from deletion. His lowest moment here was getting involved in the discussion on a particular terrorism related article, thinking he could help calm the roiled waters on an extremely contentious subject with multiple edit wars and passionate editors.

Here at WP:LGBT, he creates and improves articles that present notable LGBT related subjects in a fair and balanced way, and tries to include more of the significant alternative sexuality related subjects without being an activist, and works to better source project-related articles.

On Wikipedia as a whole, he says, "I think we need to learn better what processes work for a massive collaborative project. Some of what worked well for a more informal small project doesn’t scale up well. Process is not as important when the participants know each other. We need to get more of the current members to be more active. If more members were energized, the project would be able to accomplish more. We should be, in effect, the smaller and included Wikipedia for LGBT related subjects. Overall, I wish we could focus more on content creation and improvement, and less on vandal fighting."

"A Supreme Court decision in 1958 reversed a 1956 ruling by a federal district court that U.S. postal authorities were correct in prohibiting the mailing of the Mattachine Society's ONE magazine. The lower court had ruled that ONE was not protected by the First Amendment because the magazine's contents 'may be vulgar, offensive, and indecent even though not regarded as such by a particular group ... because their own social or moral standards are far below those of the general community ... Social standards are fixed by and for the great majority and not by and for a hardened or weakened minority.'" - Michael Bronski in Pulp Friction, 2003

Reich

If you're going to add him to the list of LGB people, maybe you could add something to his article? Right now it says nothing in the article, so it looks like there's a disconnect. Furthermore, he doesn't have the LGBT project tag.

Just trying to have "all our ducks in a row" =D I've been spending a lot of time on all the lists making sure each article has a properly sourced attribution, and going through our to be sorted list to add them.

Convective storm detection

Hi,

The article on convective storm detection is quite interesting and you did a good job. I added on radar as I had been working on VIL lately. I mostly work on the French Wiki on weather articles and I was not planning anything about lightning detection. But if I think of something, I will add it to anything you put. This would be an important section as the lightning detector is an important tool in this field.

; Project News

;Wake up!

I say this to myself as much as I say it to all of us. I work a lot by myself or with individual editors who spend time at Featured Article Candidates. It seems on November 5 a fog was lifted off my brain that helped me realize that we have massive potential in this project to get things done. Take this allegory, for instance: On Wednesday, Nov. 5, 1980, my 10th-grade American history teacher started class by unfurling The New York Times. She pointed to its triple banner headline: “Reagan Easily Beats Carter; Republicans Gain in Congress; D’Amato and Dodd are Victors.” “Save this paper,” she told us. “This is the start of a whole new era.” [http://warner.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/11/06/title/ Judith Warner from The New York Times]

It definitely seems a start to a whole new era now. If planets align correctly to remind us that whatever advances we may have made in electing what appears to be an extraordinary president in the US, the moons that revolve around those planets also serve to illustrate it's not that simple. Florida, Arizona, and California all appear to have banned same sex marriage. As someone who was married in California and lives in Florida, this is particularly poignant. We seem to be at the juncture of two converging paths. If we maximize our efforts and take the right ones, we might just be able to affect some change for ourselves.

;The power of Wikipedia and California Proposition 8 (2008)

Though what we do is an interesting hobby for some, we have the power to make a difference. California's ballot initiative to ban gay marriage was a fierce fight. It's being challenged right now, but just look at how Wikipedia played a role in that: in October 2008, 360,238 people read its article. On November 5, an astounding [http://stats.grok.se/en/200811/California_Proposition_8_(2008) 467,000 people read it]. I commend the editors who work on that article—both those who support and oppose it. A look at the talk page shows a concerted effort to keep it civil and accurate.

;What can we do?

How do you fight ignorance? With information. That's what Wikipedia is for. This project is overwhelming with 8,576 articles in its scope. We can continue to work piecemeal as we have in the past, or we can focus on goals. These are examples of areas we can concentrate on.

class="wikitable" border="1"
Current political events

! LGBT Media and Literature

! LGBT History

! Sex and sexuality

Articles about political issues in the US and around the world that have been especially relevant within the past 5 years

| Depictions of LGBT people and issues on television, film, newspapers, magazines

| Topics about gay rights activism and the opposition to it

| Articles relating to sex and sexuality

Florida Amendment 2 (2008), California Proposition 8 (2008), E.O. Green School shooting, etc.

| The Advocate, Curve (magazine), Washington Blade, Milk (film), Brokeback Mountain, etc.

| Moral Majority, ACT UP, Queer Nation, Mattachine Society, Jesse Helms, Jerry Falwell, Mathew Shepard, etc.

| Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, sexual and gender expression, etc.

| valign="top" style="border: 2px #4B0082 solid; padding: 1em; width: 45%; background-color: #E6E6FA;" |

There are more than 8,000 articles to work on. Can we build a list of priorities? Can we build enough enthusiasm to work on these? What if we had editors who oversaw progress in these areas and reported to the talk page or in the newsletter? Surely someone here wants to report on the progress of sex articles.

Tony Perkins (irony) from the conservative Family Research Council [http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/11/07/conservatives.election/index.html was heartened by the recent passages of gay marriage bans.] The Republican Party is without direction. What's going to take the place of a moderate voice will not be pleasant to our ears. Watching and improving articles of subjects that have opposed gay rights in the past will be of vital importance very soon, I predict.

;But WP:LGBT is not a very active project

All we can do is start somewhere. The first step is answering this newsletter on the project talk page. Join in the discussion.

;More things we can do

  • Give out more barnstars, and let each other know that what they're doing is valued.
  • Create a guide to stave off burnout, because editors in this project get burned out faster than others. There are many hills to climb.
  • Bring back the monthly collaboration project.
  • Participate in LGBT Peer reviews.
  • Get familiar with the characteristics of Good Articles and get our top priority articles to WP:GA.
  • Keep our project page and open tasks template updated.
  • Use the Newsletter, Moni3! You can suggest what to send out in the newsletter, too!
  • Offer research materials, copy editing, ideas, and support to your fellow editors.
  • Keep the project talk page informed of problems and discussions we should know about.

;Proposal: Put Importance Levels on articles

If this was decided long before I was a member, maybe it's time to revisit it. Other WikiProjects, such as WP:Novels determine that some subjects have an importance category: Top, High, Mid, Low, or None (undetermined). If we decide that our most core articles, it might help to organize which articles to address first. Top importance, for example, would be Gay, Homosexual, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Sappho, Oscar Wilde, Stonewall riots, for example. High importance would be Homosexuality and psychology, Harvey Milk, Mattachine Society, Harry Hay, or Daughters of Bilitis, and so on. This can be a matter of discussion, or perhaps we could have someone in charge of determining these levels for all the articles we have tagged.

;So, like Slim Whitman, "I'm Calling You"

The editors I have admired in the past, who have done great things alone, and who I think can help us all do extraordinary things now: SatyrTN, Dev920, Aleta, Becksguy, Otto4711, BelovedFreak, Benjiboi, Bookkeeper of the Occult, Queerudite, FisherQueen (I will marry you), PaulB, APK, ZigZig20s, AllStarEcho (I know you're out there), Raystorm, and my very own copy editor, Dank55.

These are the editors I've seen working (and I know I'm forgetting a few). There's more of you out there I haven't seen. Some of you are new. We need all of you. Please help.

Miami, January 18, 1977 after the gay rights ordinance was passed: While Bryant and the others were creating the beginnings of the repeal effort, (gay activists) Basker, Campbell, Kunst, and the other (gay rights) ordinance supporters congratulated themselves on their success and then quickly disbanded... There was no organized recognition or celebration of the victory. As one activist remembered, "We just went home." They had little idea of the battle that was before them. - Fred Fejes in Gay Rights and Moral Panic, 2008

;Stonewall riots

;How do you change the world? You can start by writing an incredible article for the world's encyclopedia. Moni3 kicks it old school again with Stonewall riots - a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations against a police raid that took place in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969 at the Stonewall Inn. [...] [T]hey have become the defining event that marked the start of the gay rights movement in the United States and around the world. It's a featured article hitting the mainpage this Sunday to mark the 40th anniversary of the events. So first off, wow! Clever and cool. Moni3 has been recently named hottest delegate to Obama's bookclub but that may not be official yet. (Shhh!)

Otto4711 mentioned that gee we really should swamp the DYK section with LGBT-related articles for use on the 28th as well. We have eight or so in the holding area and if you push yourself to get an article together you might be able to get in on the fun. Do this now!

The official rules for DYKs can be found here. Once you have expanded an article 5-fold or created an article with at least 1,500 characters of prose, place your DYK thread here. Use [http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/script2/charcount.shtml this] handy tool to count your 1,500 characters. As a suggestion, when you add your potential hook, include the character count and a link to the source(s) that confirm the hook. These will be confirmed anyway but may help.

;Trans quotes needed for Portal:Transgender

The layout for the individual quotes is here (just copy/paste into one of the red links on Portal:Transgender/Random quote). Then this counter has to be upped to match the new # of total quotes (not counting quote zero).

;Obama proclamation

On June 1, [http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Presidential-Proclamation-LGBT-Pride-Month/ President Barack Obama declared] June 2009 Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month, citing the riots as a reason to "commit to achieving equal justice under law for LGBT Americans". Excerpts at the bottom.

;F*ck me I'm famous

I was interviewed by Wikipedia Signpost, the weekly in-house newsletter, for the WikiProject report. The Signpost has nearly 1,000 Wikipedian subscribers and arguably many of those folks actually read it. It came about rather quickly and my worst fears - that it was an elaborate hoax by a troll - were apparently unfounded. I hope y'all feel I did fine by the project, I did my best to avoid the phrase "man-humping, cock-sucking, doggy-style loving queer" but otherwise did ok.

;Free image appeal

A friendly reminder to consider taking photos while you're out and about at various Dyke marches and Pride parades. Consider donating them to the world at Wikicommons. I'm sooo totally over having to deal with lovely images being deleted and argued about. If they are just free they are then also freely usable worldwide. And no, they don't need photos of your cha-cha or hoo-hoo-dilly.

;Chaz Bono

Sonny and Cher's daughter was a famous lesbian and now he's a famous transman, possibly the most famous in the world. This also serves as a friendly reminder that we recently updated Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Guidelines - it's not perfect but should help inform on those gnip-gnop battles that do seem to drag on, and not in the good way.

;R U Popular?

Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Popular pages is a new handy place to see which LGBT-tagged pages are the most popular in any given month.

;Article alerts

As part of the redecorating at our talkpage, the article alerts and keyword search alerts are handily located at the top of the page. Always fascinating to see what's up. All help appreciated on those.

;Glambert

Adam Lambert is soooo gay - surprised? Neither is anyone else. Nuff said. David Ogden Stiers was outed but apparently he wasn't terribly in either.

;Community Quilt reminder

Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Quilt - update it and add yourself!

;Our own little IRC home

The LGBT studies project does have its own free Internet Relay Chat channel, {{IRC|wikipedia-en-lgbt}}, for coordination, collaboration and socializing. This channel is hosted on Freenode and can be accessed in one of two ways: If you already have an IRC client, click the link to the left. If you do not have an IRC client, you'll need to get one installed on your computer first. Once you've done this, then click on the link to the left.

For more general information on IRC and a listing of other useful Wikipedia-related channels, see Wikipedia:IRC channels.

The project had at one point another channel at {{IRC|LGBTproject}} but as the original people associated with the setting up and administration of that channel have seemed to have disappeared, this new channel has been set up. Plus the new channel is inline with required naming conventions for Wikipedia related IRC channels. So, feel free to use this channel. Such a channel gives opportunity to discuss the latest happening on articles, the LGBT project itself, latest happening in your life with "wiki-friends" here, etc.. You can say things on there you normally wouldn't here on Wikipedia (keeping it civil of course) like talk about the latest hot guy/girl or tell a joke.. you get the point.

{{cquote|There are many well-respected LGBT leaders in all professional fields, including the arts and business communities. [I]n both the White House and the Federal agencies -- openly LGBT employees are doing their jobs with distinction and professionalism. [...]
LGBT youth should feel safe to learn without the fear of harassment, and LGBT families and seniors should be allowed to live their lives with dignity and respect.
At the international level, I have joined efforts at the United Nations to decriminalize homosexuality around the world. Here at home, I continue to support measures to bring the full spectrum of equal rights to LGBT Americans. These measures include enhancing hate crimes laws, supporting civil unions and Federal rights for LGBT couples, outlawing discrimination in the workplace, ensuring adoption rights, and ending the existing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy in a way that strengthens our Armed Forces and our national security. [...]
As long as the promise of equality for all remains unfulfilled, all Americans are affected. If we can work together to advance the principles upon which our Nation was founded, every American will benefit. During LGBT Pride Month, I call upon the LGBT community, the Congress, and the American people to work together to promote equal rights for all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. [...]
I call upon the people of the United States to turn back discrimination and prejudice everywhere it exists. - Barack Obama, [http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Presidential-Proclamation-LGBT-Pride-Month/ Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month, 2009], The White House (June 1, 2009).}}

=Status and Advice=

Pleae do not create articles on new journals whichcannot uyet haveachieved any degree of notability. Wait until they have a/ been published a while, b/are included in the major field indexes, and, if possible Scopus & Web of Science, c/have articles that have been substantially cited.

When you do create the articles, based on what is generally accepted here, an article about a journal should contain:

  1. Fulll titles, earlier titles used, and the corresponding dates. Make cross references from any variant titles.
  2. Standard abbreviations used--make redirects from them.
  3. publishing & sponsoring body, as well as earlier publishers & sponsors
  4. availability on line
  5. no. of articles published a year
  6. ISSNs for both print and online versions
  7. Online availability of current and earlier issues
  8. Open access availability, if relevant.
  9. Circulation (sourced somewhere--default place to get it is Ulrichs)
  10. coverage in major standard indexes, inclding particularly Scopus and Web of Science (Science Citation Index)
  11. latest year's impact factor if available, and rank in the JCR subject field(s). Include the year so it can be updated.
  12. any actual references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases.
  13. a list of the 3 or 4 most influential articles similarly, getting citation figures from Web of Science.
  14. External links to the journal's main web site, and , if relevant, the main website of the sponsoring body.

It should not contain

  1. General information listing all the fields covered, unless it is not obvious from the title
  2. Statements of praise for the journal -- see WP:PEACOCK
  3. A list of those on the editorial board
  4. names of the staff, except editors in chief; subordinate or section editors should not usually be listed.
  5. Information about subscription prices
  6. Information about how to submit articles
  7. Links to the publisher's general website, or to subpages within the journal's site.
  8. and, most important, it must contain no text from the web page description of the journal. That is a copyright violation, and needs to be rewritten. Even if you are prepared to donate copyright according to WP:DCM, it is likely to be unsuitably promotional.

Please read our FAQ about organisations, and articles like this, and for more specific information our Wikipedia:WikiProject Academic Journals/Writing guide. As it specifies there, the best way to start is by using the infobox journal template; but also convert the information there to prose.

As for new journals from major societies, these can well be argued to be notable at an early stage, but wait until they are at least published! DGG ( talk ) 23:18, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Pride 2014

Hi Evo. In case you are not aware, there is an upcoming campaign to improve coverage of LGBT-related topics on Wikipedia, culminating with an international edit-a-thon on June 21. See Wiki Loves Pride 2014 for more information. If you are interested, you might consider creating a page for a major city (or cities!) near you, with a list of LGBT-related articles that need to be created or improved. This would be a tremendous help to Wikipedia and coverage of LGBT culture and history. Thanks for your consideration, and please let me know if you have any questions! --Another Believer (Talk) 16:04, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Greetings, Evolauxia. I performed the latest review of Template:Did you know nominations/John Crane (government official).

1896 St. Louis–East St. Louis tornado

That article is dedicated to a single tornado per the title, and there is already an article at May 1896 tornado outbreak sequence. All your edit does is add a miniscule amount of information about other tornadoes while barring the tornado rating from loading at the top of the infobox (which including those extra parameters does). When the St. Louis tornado's article was created, the outbreak article did not exist, so those details had a reasonable purpose. Now that there are two article, such details about other tornadoes no longer belong outside of background references for context. In my opinion, any information about other tornadoes should be moved to the overall outbreak article. Master of Time (talk) 01:02, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

Help with the National memo article

Hi. I noticed that you made several professional contributions to David Cay Johnston article in 2008 and 20015 and decided to ask for your help with The National Memo article. Johnston is a frequent contributor to it so I assume that you know this media (and the liberal press) quite well. The article has been undergoing dramatic edits and I ask for your assistance in editing/improving this article.

I while ago I was asked to make several minor edits to the article as paid editor. At that time the article had minimal content and was no more than a stub. I’ve added some information following the structure of such articles as Salon (website), HuffPost, Politico adding infobox, improving categories and adding some well-referenced info. The article started to look like a normal website/media article. After that it got heavily edited in two waves by editors deleting large chunks of well-written (ok, my personal view :)) and well-referenced information. I believe that some of these edits/deletions are extraneous and actually make the article worse/less useful to Wikipedia users. I also believe that The National Memo article has an undisputable notability. There is an interesting discussion about this at the article’s [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:The_National_Memo Talk page].

A lot of what is going on around this article is plain nonsense. So if you are interested in the subject / in improving the article, please take a look at [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_National_Memo&oldid=819578455 January 10th version] or [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_National_Memo&oldid=822987389 January 29th version]. Also if you have any suggestions on improving the article, please share. Thank you in advance. -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 19:43, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

File:Information.svgHi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to :Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:20, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

Funnel cloud edits

Could you provide citations for your recent edits to funnel cloud? Especially those pertaining to the circulation forming before the funnel? I personally don't doubt the claim as I heard something not long ago about a "ground up" model of formation, but it does go against what a lot of us have been taught and may be puzzling to readers, and I think a citation would go a long way. TornadoLGS (talk) 02:25, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

:: Sure. I need to add citations and usually include those upon initial edits, but wanted to get the corrections in since the article has for so long been misleading. Storm chasers and severe storms researchers have long known that debris swirls and radar circulations precede condensation funnel clouds reaching the surface. I need to expand on that, remove the redundancy I added but didn't notice until just now, make some other refinements and discuss the association with wall clouds (which itself is a controversial concept). From the perspective of a spotter, a funnel cloud is still not a tornado unless the debris swirl or condensation cloud are evident, but thankfully training is increasingly emphasizing to look for the debris swirl below a funnel cloud. A rule of thumb (i.e. guideline) existing at least since the 1990s is that if a visible funnel cloud extends halfway to the surface, then the associated circulation is almost certainly a tornado.

[[List of tornadoes striking downtown areas of large cities]]

Hi. Back in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_tornadoes_striking_downtown_areas_of_large_cities&diff=prev&oldid=428916206 2011], you removed multiple entries for tornadoes in North America, including two that struck Newmarket, Ontario, on July 17, 2006. Newmarket had a population of close to 75,000, and the tornadoes struck only a few km from the population centre, even though the place is considered a “town” in Canadian terminology. Was there a specific reason that those and other tornadoes were purged? Do you have a specific criteria for when you made that edit?

Comment on your recent edit to [[List of solar storms]]

Hi. I'd like to explain the changes that I had made to List of solar storms that you have added back. First, CMEs are not produced by solar flares. From the page you cited (https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/phenomena/coronal-mass-ejections):

:"The more explosive CMEs generally begin when highly twisted magnetic field structures (flux ropes) contained in the Sun’s lower corona become too stressed and realign into a less tense configuration – a process called magnetic reconnection. This can result in the sudden release of electromagnetic energy in the form of a solar flare; which typically accompanies the explosive acceleration of plasma away from the Sun – the CME."

which can be cut down to

:"The more explosive CMEs generally begin... [with] magnetic reconnection. This can result in... a solar flare; which typically accompanies... the [more explosive] CME."

So, the page is saying that CMEs and solar flares are caused by the same mechanism, magnetic reconnection, (not that CMEs are produced by flares) and that flares are therefore often seen in conjunction with the "more explosive" CMEs.

The source also doesn't say anything about prominences triggering CMEs, prominences triggering flares, prominences occurring in conjunction with flares, or prominences intensifying CMEs. As is brought up in the source, the reconfiguration (magnetic reconnection) of flux ropes (prominences) may result in a CME, but nothing is said about the triggering or intensification of this magnetic reconnection.

Finally, the reason why I wrote "active region" rather than "active sunspot region" is because CMEs and flares aren't restricted to regions with sunspots. Your source simply gives "active regions associated with sunspot groups" as a single example by the use of "such as".

For these reasons I have undone your edit. CoronalMassAffection (talk) 01:26, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

WikiProject Weather: Map Dot & Template/Infobox Colors

Dear project member,

This message is being sent out to encourage new ideas and feedback on those proposed in regard to the colors debate for WikiProject Weather. For those who are unaware of what's been happening over the last year, I will give a brief summary. We have been discussing proposed changes to the colors of the dots on tropical cyclone maps and templates and infoboxes across the entire weather project in order to solve issues related to the limited contrast between colors for both normal vision as well as the various types of color blindness (MOS:ACCESS). We had partially implemented a proposal earlier this year, however, it was objected to by a number of people and additional issues were presented that made it evident this wasn't the optimal solution. We tried to come up with other solutions to address the issues related to color contrast, however, none of them gained traction and no consensus was generated.

We need your help and I encourage you to propose your own scale and give feedback on those already listed. Keep in mind that we are NOT making a decision on any individual proposal at this time. We are simply allowing people to make proposals and cultivate them given feedback from other project members. Please visit our project page for additional details. The proposal phase will close no later than December 31st at 23:59 UTC. NoahTalk 04:08, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
