There is an ongoing discussion at List of Category 6 Atlantic hurricanes as to whether this page should be kept or redirected to List of Category 5 Atlantic hurricanes. Your input on the matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. United States Man (talk) 04:47, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Would you like some help going back through this editor's history and cleaning things up? -- Bgpaulus (talk) 20:48, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello Jason Rees,

I'm part of a team that is researching ways to help Wikipedia editors find interesting content to contribute to Wikipedia. More specifically, we are investigating whether content from news sources can be used to enhance Wikipedia editing. We have created a tool, called wikiFeed, that allows you to specify Twitter and/or RSS feeds from news sources that are interesting to you. wikiFeed then helps you make connections between those feeds and Wikipedia articles. We believe that using this tool may be a lot of fun, and may help you come up with some ideas on how to contribute to Wikipedia in ways that interest you. Please participate! To do so, complete this [http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NGLC3X5 survey] and follow this [https://wikistudy.mathcs.carleton.edu link] to our website. Once you're there, click the "create an account" link to get started.

For more information about wikiFeed, visit our project page. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask via my talk page, or by email at wikifeedcc@gmail.com. We appreciate your time and hope you enjoy playing with wikiFeed!

Thanks! Jeremey Bentham (talk) 19:51, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Yes sir! uhm all of the impact I'm putting is 101 percent coming from Saola. Check out my references buddy. If any mistakes were made, you are free to delete it (:

We're approaching the beginning of 2012's final round. Pool A sees {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Cwmhiraeth}} as the leader, with 300 points being awarded for the featured article Bivalvia, and Pool B sees {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Grapple X}} in the lead, with 10 good articles, and over 35 articles eligible for good topic points. Pool A sees {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Muboshgu}} in second place with a number of articles relating to baseball, while Pool B's {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Ruby2010}} follows Grapple X, with a variety of contributions including the high-scoring, high-importance featured article on the 2010 film Pride & Prejudice. Ruby2010, like Grapple X, also claimed a number of good topic points; despite this, not a single point has been claimed for featured topics in the contest so far. The same is true for featured portals.

Currently, the eighth-place competitor (and so the lowest scorer who would reach the final round right now) has scored 332, more than double the 150 needed to reach the final round last year. In 2010, however, 430 was the lowest qualifying score. In this competition, we have generally seen scores closer to those in 2010 than those in 2011. Let's see what kind of benchmark we can set for future competitions! As ever, 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. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

I have given some two members editing the typhoon season article many suggestions, but they never accepted. They just keep using ugly structures, wrong grammars, unnecessary information, improper titles and unreal observations. What should I do to them?

Hi there! well I'm from Manila and Haikui is very far to us. However, the storm's slow movement enhanced the southwest monsoon which also resulted to be a stationary monsoon. severe flooding already struck us because 472 millimeters of rain was already pour down here.

The final is upon us! We are down to our final 8. A massive 573 was our lowest qualifying score; this is higher than the 150 points needed last year and the 430 needed in 2010. Even in 2009, when points were acquired for mainspace edit count in addition to audited content, 417 points secured a place. That leaves this year's WikiCup, by one measure at least, our most competitive ever. Our finalists, ordered by round 4 score, are:

1. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Grapple X}} once again finishes the round in first place, leading Pool B. Grapple X writes articles about television, and especially The X-Files and Millenium, with good articles making up the bulk of the score.
2. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Miyagawa}} led Pool A this round. Fourth-place finalist last year, Miyagawa writes on a variety of topics, and has reached the final primarily off the back of his massive number of did you knows.
3. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Ruby2010}} was second in Pool B. Ruby2010 writes primarily on television and film, and scores primarily from good articles.
4. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Casliber}} finished third in Pool B. Casliber is something of a WikiCup veteran, having finished sixth in 2011 and fourth in 2010. Casliber writes on the natural sciences, including ornithology, botany and astronomy. Over half of Casliber's points this round were bonus points from the high-importance articles he has worked on.
5. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Cwmhiraeth}} came second in Pool A. Also writing on biology, especially marine biology, Cwmhiraeth received 390 points for one featured article (Bivalvia) and one good article (pelican), topping up with a large number of did you knows.
6. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Muboshgu}} was third in Pool A. Muboshgu writes primarily on baseball, and this round saw Muboshgu's first featured article, Derek Jeter, promoted on its fourth attempt at FAC.
7. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Dana boomer}} was fourth in Pool A. She writes on a variety of topics, including horses, but this round also saw the high-importance lettuce reach featured article status.
8. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Sasata}} is another WikiCup veteran, having been a finalist in 2009 and 2010. He writes mostly on mycology.

However, we must also say goodbye to the eight who did not make the final, having fallen at the last hurdle: {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|GreatOrangePumpkin}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Ealdgyth}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Calvin999}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Piotrus}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Toa Nidhiki05}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|12george1}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|The Bushranger}} and {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|1111tomica}}. We hope to see you all next year.

On the subject of next year, a discussion has been opened here. Come and have your say about the competition, and how you'd like it to run in the future. This brainstorming will go on for some time before more focused discussions/polls are opened.

Hello, and Good Morning Jason Rees (10:06am here in Hong Kong). IP User:109.90.51.99 has [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2012_Pacific_typhoon_season&diff=510774625&oldid=510693917 been changing]

Tembin 15w Aug 20 2012.jpg, which shows Tembin just after peak intensity, to Tembin 15w Aug 20 2012.jpg, which shows the storm at a Category 1 typhoon(near Category 2). I think the IP finds the Aug 20 image looking better, but it is not the closest to peak intensity! As i find edit/revert wars disruptive, can you please help?

We're over half way through the final, and so it is less than a month until we know for certain our 2012 WikiCup champion. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Grapple X}} currently leads, followed by {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Sasata}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Cwmhiraeth}} and {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Casliber}}. However, we have no one resembling a breakaway leader, and so the competition is a long way from over. Next month's newsletter will feature a list of our winners (who are not necessarily only the finalists) and keep your eyes open for an article on the WikiCup in a future edition of The Signpost. The leaders are already on a par with last year's winners, but a long way from the huge scores seen in 2010. That said, a repeat of the competition from 2010 seems unlikely.

It is good to see that three-quarters of our finalists have already scored bonus points this round. This shows that, contrary to criticism that the WikiCup has received in the past, the competition does not merely incentivise the writing of trivial articles; instead, our top competitors are still spending their time contributing to high-importance articles, and bringing them to a high standard. This does a great service to the encyclopedia and its readers. Thank you, and good work!

The planning for next year's WikiCup is ongoing. Some straw polls have been opened concerning the scoring, and you can now sign up for next year's competition. As ever, 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.

Hello, there is a new article called 2012-13 United States winter storm season that is providing information about the new naming system that The Weather Channel is giving major winter storms. I would much appreciate help from you there.

The 2012 WikiCup has come to a close; congratulations to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Cwmhiraeth}}, our 2012 champion! Cwmhiraeth joins our exclusive club of previous winners: {{ul|Dreamafter}} (2007), {{ul|jj137}} (2008), {{ul|Durova}} (2009), {{ul|Sturmvogel 66}} (2010) and {{ul|Hurricanehink}} (2011). Our final standings were as follows:

1. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Cwmhiraeth}}
2. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Sasata}}
3. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Grapple X}}
4. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Casliber}}
5. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Muboshgu}}
6. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Miyagawa}}
7. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Ruby2010}}
8. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Dana boomer}}

Prizes for first, second, third and fourth will be awarded, as will prizes for all those who reached the final eight. Every participant who scored in the competition will receive a ribbon of participation. In addition to the prizes based on placement, the following special prizes will be awarded based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, the prize is awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round.

• The featured article award goes to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Grapple X}}, for four featured articles in the final round.
• The good article award also goes to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Grapple X}}, for 19 good articles in the second round.
• The list award goes to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Muboshgu}}, for three featured lists in the final round.
• The topic award goes to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Grapple X}}, for three good topics (with around 40 articles) in round 4.
• The did you know award goes to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Cwmhiraeth}}, for well over 100 DYKs in the final round.
• The news award goes to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|ThaddeusB}}, for 10 in the news items in round 3.
• The picture award goes to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Grandiose}}, for two featured pictures in round 2.
• The reviewer award goes to both {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Ruby2010}} (14 reviews in round 1) and {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Grandiose}} (14 reviews in round 3).
• Finally, for achieving an incredible bonus point total in the final round, and for bringing the top-importance article frog to featured status, a biostar has been awarded to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant3|Cwmhiraeth}}.

Awards will be handed out in the coming days; please bear with us! This year's competition also saw fantastic contributions in all rounds, from newer Wikipedians contributing their first good or featured articles, right up to highly experienced Wikipedians chasing high scores and contributing to topics outside of their usual comfort zones. It would be impossible to name all of the participants who have achieved things to be proud of, but well done to all of you, and thanks! Wikipedia has certainly benefited from the work of this year's WikiCup participants.

Next year's WikiCup will begin in January. Currently, discussions and polls are open, and all contributions are welcome. You can also sign up for next year's competition. There will be no further newsletters this year, although brief notes may be sent out in December to remind everyone about the upcoming competition. It's been a pleasure to work with you all, and we hope to see you all in January! J Milburn (talk • email) and The ed17 (talk • email) 00:30, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

If you click any of the links on the cost of the storms from NOAA website it clearly states how the cost are calculated. They are calculated as 2 times the insured property claims plus an adjusted amount of the National Flood Insurance Program claims. Also when they NOAA list they claims such as Katrina it states:

"Hurricane Katrina of 2005 was responsible for at least $108 billion of property damage and is by far the costliest hurricane to ever strike the United States."

What was your reasoning for overwriting my whole MH section? We both had some stuff that the other didn't have, and mine was more current than just through the 11th. Why don't we merge the two together? Inks.LWC (talk) 22:00, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

:Im gonna try and merge it but i personally think some of the bits that you added weren't needed (eg: the tropical disturbance stuff), while other bits need to be double checked.Jason Rees (talk) 22:03, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

::Double checked for what? It's all sourced. I guess I'll let you do what you want, although we should probably add back somehting for December 12-13 if you don't have anything ready for that yet. I didn't realize you had one going off the Mainspace already. My bad. Inks.LWC (talk) 22:06, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

:::It may be sourced but it needs to be checked for relevance/put in the right place. I mean Nadi's gale storm and hurricane warnings are like NHC's forecast advisories so i dont feel we need to note them, while the stuff about NWS/WS can go in Preps and could even be expanded out to cover most of their warnings. Dont feel to guilty about beating me to creating the article as i should of noted somewhere that i had been doing it in a sandbox and was already tempted to move it to mainspace. As for November 12/13 stuff, i have some of the stuff in there covering the naming but there probably is a bit more to be added.Jason Rees (talk) 22:25, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

For the non-use of wind gusts in the infobox, I'm not quite sure I understand what your reasoning was ("Gonna refrain form using the Gusts field since nadi isnt giving them out and the infobox hurricane should be using them as a higher priority than 10-min"). I understand that Nadi isn't announcing gust measurements, but I got a bit lost after that, so why does it matter that Nadi isn't giving them out? (Sorry if that came across in a bad way - I'm genuinely curious, and I can't think of a good way to say it that doesn't sound bad, so don't read anything into the wording). Inks.LWC (talk) 09:42, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

:The problem is that up to a couple of years ago the gusts were used to work out the Aus Cat rather than the MSW, and thus the IH gives them a higher priority to work out the Aus Cat than the MSW, which off course means that if we are taking them from the JTWC we run the risk of committing OR.Jason Rees (talk) 09:50, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

I'm dropping you a note because you've been involved in dealing with feedback from the Article Feedback Tool. To get a better handle on the overall quality of comments now that the tool has become a more established part of the reader experience, we're undertaking a round of hand coding - basically, taking a sample of feedback and marking each piece as inappropriate, helpful, so on - and would like anyone interested in improving the tool to participate :).

You can code as many or as few pieces of feedback as you want: this page should explain how to use the system, and there is a demo [http://toolserver.org/~grphack/aft/test.html here]. Once you're comfortable with the task, just drop me an email at {{nospam|okeyes|wikimedia.org}} and I'll set you up with an account :).

If you'd like to chat with us about the research, or want live tutoring on the software, there will be an office hours session on Monday 17 December at [http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?hour=23&min=00&sec=0&day=17&month=12&year=2012 23:00 UTC] in {{channel|wikimedia-office}}. Hope to see some of you there! Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 23:05, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

Jason, I just wanted to make you aware of an ongoing AN/I discussion about Earth100. Don't feel like you need to respond or post there because of this message... I just wanted to let you know about it since some of your reverts of his edits have been mentioned there. Inks.LWC (talk) 14:01, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Since you reverted my recent removal of disambiguation templates from a couple of pages, I have started a discussion at Talk:List of Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone seasons, and invite you to add your views. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 13:33, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

Please stop reverting the user on their own talk page. They are entitled, with limited exceptions that don't apply here, to remove material from their talk page. You may be well-intentioned, but you have no right to revert them. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:12, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

I noticed you have an article going for Freda (yeah, I had the common sense to actually check this time before writing my own ;)); I can add some sources to the MH section, and then do you think we're ready to move that to the mainspace? Inks.LWC (talk) 19:19, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

::It's already done some damage and is likely to do more, but if you think holding off is the right move, it's a borderline call now I think. Inks.LWC (talk) 19:39, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

:::I think for now we should hold off and work on the sandbox so its ready to go if we need it later. If we don't than the MH can be condensed and put into the SPAC seasonal article.Jason Rees (talk) 19:52, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
