Hey there Edgar, not sure if you're planning on working on Freddy some more, but I wanted to point out a few things ahead of time that need work. I think it's one of the most important storms in recent years, so I am glad to see someone working on the article. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:58, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

I am providing members of the WikiProject of Weather along with users who frequently edit weather-related articles an update to the discussions regarding the PD-NWS image copyright template.

For starters, no "formal" administrative-style rules have occurred. All that means is the template is not formally deprecated and is still in use. However, Rlandmann, an administrator on English Wikipedia, has begun an undertaking of reviewing and assessing all images (~1,400) that use the PD-NWS copyright template.

What we know:

• Following email communications, the National Weather Service of Sioux Falls has removed their disclaimer, which has been used for the PD-NWS template for decades. This means, as far as the National Weather Service is concerned, the following statement is no longer valid: By submitting images, you understand that your image is being released into the public domain. This means that your photo or video may be downloaded, copied, and used by others. Currently, the PD-NWS template links to an archived version of the disclaimer. However, the live version of the disclaimer no longer contains that phrase.
• See this deletion discussion for this point's information. NWS Paducah (1) failed to give attribution to a photographer of a tornado photograph, (2) placed the photo into the public domain without the photographer explicitly giving them permission to do so (i.e. the photo is not actually in the public domain), (3) and told users to acknowledge NWS as the source for information on the webpage. Oh, to note, this photographer is a magistrate (i.e. a judge). So, the idea of automatically trusting images without clear attribution on weather.gov are free-to-use is in question.
• The Wikimedia Commons has a process known as precautionary principle, where if their is significant doubt that an image is free-to-use, it will be deleted. Note, one PD-NWS file has been deleted under the precautionary principle. The closing administrator remarks for the deletion discussion were: "Per the precautionary principle, there is "significant doubt" about the public domain status of this file (4x keep + nominator, 5x delete), so I will delete it."
• Several photographs/images using the PD-NWS are currently mid-deletion discussion, all for various reasonings.
• As of this message, 250 PD-NWS images have been checked out of the ~1,400.
• The photograph of the 1974 Xenia tornado (File:Xenia tornado.jpg) was found to not be in the public domain. It is still free-to-use, but under a CC 2.0 license, which requires attribution. From April 2009 to August 2024, Wikipedia/Wikimedia was incorrectly (and by definition, illegally) using the photograph, as it was marked incorrectly as a public domain photograph.

Solutions:
As stated earlier, there is no "formal" rulings, so no "formal" changes have been made. However, there is a general consensus between editors on things which are safe to do:

• Images made directly by NWS employees can be uploaded and used under the new PD-USGov-NWS-employee template (Usage: {{PD-USGov-NWS-employee}} ). This is what a large number of PD-NWS templated images are being switched to.
• Images from the NOAA Damage Assessment Toolkit (DAT) can be uploaded and used under the PD-DAT template (Usage: {{PD-DAT}} ). A large number of images are also being switched to this template.

For now, you are still welcome to upload images under the PD-NWS template. However, if possible it is recommended using the two templates above. I will send out another update when new information is found or new "rulings" have been made. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 03:37, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello Edgar! Just wanted to pass by and say thank you for greatly expanding the draft for Tropical Storm Maria (2024)! I tried my best to, but a lot of the time I was correcting spelling errors as the creator didn't seem to be fluent in English. But again, thank you for your contributions!

Regards, Shmego (talk) 01:39, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

@Shmego Thank you anyway. I would like to suggest expanding the sections on the preparation and impact of Draft:Typhoon Ampil (2024). Once that's done, I will expand the meteorological history section. But anyway, thank you for expanding the impact of Japan on the storm. HurricaneEdgar 04:25, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

Ampil succeeded as well, so thanks again! Shmego (talk) 12:32, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello @HurricaneEdgar can help you? GA Review see Wikipedia:Good article criteria 119.95.115.208 (talk) 15:17, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

I am providing members of the WikiProject of Weather along with users who frequently edit weather-related articles an new update (2nd update) to the discussions regarding the PD-NWS image copyright template.

On the Commons, an RFC discussion is taking place to figure out how to manage the template. No "formal" administrative-style rules have occurred, so nothing has changed. That is not a surprise as the RFC is still ongoing.

What is new?

• The entire Template:PD-NWS has been placed inside a "License Review" template, which is viewable via the link aforementioned.
• Most of the photographs which were uploaded to the Commons originally under the PD-NWS template (approximately 1,500) have been reviewed. Out of those ~1,500 images, only about 150 are requiring additional looks. Most images have been verified as free-to-use and switched to a respective, valid template.
• As of this moment, approximately 50 photos have been nominated for deletion (results pending).
• A handful of images have been deleted (either confirmed copyrighted or under the Commons precautionary principle.
• One image has been kept following a deletion request under the PD-NWS template.

How to deal with new photos?

Given all of this, you might be wondering how the heck you use weather photos while creating articles? Well, here is what you can do!

• If the photo was made by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (excluding NWS), You can upload it under the PD-NOAA template via {{PD-NOAA}}.
• If the photo was made by the National Weather Service (NOT Third Party), you can upload it using the new PD-NWS-employee template via {{PD-USGov-NWS-employee}}.
  • If the photo originates on the Damage Assessment Toolkit, you can upload it using the PD-DAT template via {{PD-DAT}}.
• If the photo is from a U.S. NEXRAD radar, you can upload it using the PD-NEXRAD template via via {{PD-NEXRAD}}.

What about third-party photos?

In the case of third-party photos...i.e. ones not taken by the National Weather Service themselves...there is an option which was discussed and confirmed to be valid from an English Wikipedia Administrator.

• KEY: Third party images of tornadoes & weather-related content can potentially be uploaded via Wikipedia's Non-Free Content Guidelines!
• Experiments/testing has been done already! In fact, I bet you couldn't tell the difference, but the tornado photograph used at the top of the 2011 Joplin tornado was already switched to a Non-Free File (NFF)! Check it out: File:Photograph of the 2011 Joplin tornado.jpeg! That photo's description can also be used as a template for future third-party tornado photographs uploaded to Wikipedia...with their respective information replaced.
• NFFs can be uploaded to multiple articles as well!
• The absolute key aspect of NFFs is that they relate to the article and are not decoration. For example with the Joplin tornado, the photograph: (1) shows the size of the tornado, (2) shows the "wall of darkness", which was described by witnesses, (3) shows a historic, non-repeatable event of the deadliest tornado in modern U.S. history. The exact reasoning does not have to be extremely specific as Wikipedia's NFF guidelines "is one of the most generous in the world" (words of Rlandmann (not pinged), the administrator reviewing all the PD-NWS template images).
• Tornado photographs will almost certainly qualify under the NFF guidelines, especially for tornadoes with standalone articles or standalone sections.
• NFFs cannot be used when a free-photograph is available, no matter the quality, unless the section is about that specific photograph. For example, the photograph used at the top of the 2013 Moore tornado article is confirmed to be free-to-use, therefore, no NFFs of that tornado can be uploaded on Wikipedia. However, the "Dead Man Walking" photograph could almost certainly be uploaded as an NFF to the 1997 Jarrell tornado article as that photograph is the topic of a section in the article.
• NFFs currently on Wikipedia can and should be placed in this category: Category:Non-free pictures of tornadoes.

I have reverted your potentally inaccurate claim without source that the 2023–2024 Sundhnúkur eruptions series has finished. Current predictions are that a further eruption in the series could happen within a month. (See for example IMO ) The article will no doubt then become "2023–2025 Sundhnúkur eruptions" Your inaccuracy was also noted at Sundhnúkur and that the page subsection "2024 eruptions" is incomplete. ChaseKiwi (talk) 03:10, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Please do not accuse me. I have provided a source based on , which states that the eruption has ended. HurricaneEdgar 07:05, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Interesting as that usually good tertiary source uses IMO usually as its standard reference in that eruptions regard. Perhaps some one has mis-interrupted the IMO as the news feed had got too long and was moved or knows more than is in public domain. ChaseKiwi (talk) 18:28, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Another note: you provide a prediction of an eruption, which would violate WP:CRYSTAL. HurricaneEdgar 22:29, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

Indeed perhaps better wording is forecast not prediction as IMO are modelling based on past behaviour based on monitored variables. There is no violation of WP:CRYSTAL. This modelled eruption possibility is based now on 7 previous events from what appears to be a single magma plumbing system with time variability between eruptions partially characterised, will be significant if it occurs, and has even on the crudest modelling greater than a 7 out of 8 chance of occurring near to the interval between previous eruptions. This I interpreted as almost certain but am happy to be corrected by the community. Icelandic secondary news sources (e.g. mbl.is speculate based on at present Icelandic language sources that the next eruption will occur in late January or early February but using these sources for that precise a date seems inappropriate for the reasons you outline. A claim of no future eruption in the series has at the most a 1 in 8 chance of occurring which the community is unlikely to interpret in my view as almost certain. ChaseKiwi (talk) 01:10, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

Even the article state The last activity from the active crater was observed on the morning of 8 December 2024, with no further activity detected later that day, thereby confirming the end of the eruption. So I think the prediction of the eruption should not be included until it happens in 2025, because we don't know if this volcano will erupt. HurricaneEdgar 01:30, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

Cheers, your individual thinking is understood and incompatible with mine but I do not engage in edit wars. ChaseKiwi (talk) 07:33, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Latifa al-Droubi.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file's talk page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy.

You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect and move subpages when moving the parent page(s).

Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving a redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.

Hi HurricaneEdgar, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Schwede66 04:30, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

Hey, I've reviewed your GA nomination for Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai about a week ago and I haven't received any updates from you since then. I saw that you made one edit to the page, but other than that I haven't heard from you. You're probably aware, but improvements to a GA article are supposed to take 7 days. That time period is almost up, and if I don't get anything I may have to fail the article. If you're working on it then take your time, but I just want confirmation that work is indeed being done.

If you could, please notify me or update me on your progress. Thanks! ZKevinTheCat (talk) 16:26, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

Hey Edgar, are you going to work on the GA review for Typhoon Shanshan? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:44, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

I'm also busy with my school activities, so I don't have time to review the GA for Typhoon Shanshan. But if I'm not busy and I have free time, I'll re-review it. Apologies for the delay—I'm unable to manage my Wikipedia tasks while focusing on my studies. HurricaneEdgar 14:23, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

No problem, school comes first. How about I give you another week? This way, if you have time, hopefully you can take care of the few things I brought up. The article is pretty good already! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:51, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi HurricaneEdgar. I've noticed you've been working hard on the article's meteorological history (and other parts) and I just wanted to say thanks for your efforts! Shmego2 (talk) 03:23, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

Thank you! I’ve also been planning to make a GA nomination after the TCR is released. HurricaneEdgar 03:28, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

Is that a official source? I saw someone do the damage USD without any official source? I don't think this is correct source or this is just a prediction. MAS0802 08:34, 24 June 2025 (UTC)

Yes, this is not official damage, and it is unclear whether it came from China, the Philippines, or Vietnam. Also, the source is considered WP:UGC. HurricaneEdgar 09:18, 24 June 2025 (UTC)

OK thanks. Actually we know this is based for ChatGPT. So it's clearly unofficial.

So I noticed the extratropical parameter being used for the weather event infobox on Draft:Tropical Storm Chantal (2025). I checked the WPC advisories for Chantal, and it only said Chantal was post-tropical. Using this information, I made an edit that replaced the extratropical with post-tropical. Checking the draft again, I see that my edit was reverted for the reason (rv good faith, extratropical is the widely used parameter for many hurricanes). Seeing post-tropical was used in the meteorological history on the October 2021 nor'easter as Wanda gave me the idea to ask you for help on which parameter to use for future edits to tropical/subtropical cyclone articles. So... did Chantal become post-tropical or extratropical? CasualCycloneTracker180897 (talk) 18:05, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

Oh wait... I just checked the glossary of tropical cyclone terms and it says that extratropical cyclones are a class of post-tropical cyclones. So I've revised my question to... did Chantal (2025) undergo extratropical transition or become a remnant low? CasualCycloneTracker180897 (talk) 18:45, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

Yes, he became a post-tropical cyclone according to the WPC Advisory. Since the WPC issued the latest advisory, it indicates that the storm has not completely dissipated. Note that "extratropical" and "post-tropical" are different terms—see Extratropical cyclone and Post-tropical cyclone. If the NHC/WPC stated that it became post-tropical, then the article should state that; if they stated it became extratropical, then that should be reflected in the article instead. Note that this information is still preliminary and not final—wait for the NHC's final report after the storm has fully dissipated. HurricaneEdgar 00:49, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

Alright, thanks for the information. Also, I hate to be pedantic (Wiktionary def.) in a way, but Chantal would be considered a female name because the NHC naming lists alternate between male and female names, with two male names Barry and Dexter being before and after Chantal on List 5 respectively. CasualCycloneTracker180897 (talk) 01:44, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

BTW, I suggest starting a discussion on the talk page, since the article seems to be involved in an edit war. I think it’s better to talk it out instead of just reverting edits to decide who’s right or wrong. HurricaneEdgar 01:51, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

Please stop deleting several paragraphs from the article for no reason. Please also do not change the dmy or mdy settings of an established article as such, unless there is a consensus to do so. 112.120.205.130 (talk) 10:32, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

Deleting the paragraphs would reduce the meteorological history, which is why I tagged it for major expansion. As for the date format, we use MDY in the cyclone article based on its usage in some Northern Hemisphere articles, such as Tropical Storm Trami. I suggest expanding the meteorological history section, as you likely have a good understanding of how the storm developed. I also encourage you to create an account so that you can communicate with me and others if you're confused about how the mechanisms in the tropical cyclone basin work.

On 17 July 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Hurricane Erick, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that no major hurricane has hit Mexico earlier in the year than Hurricane Erick since records began? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Hurricane Erick (2025). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Hurricane Erick), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
