Question from Ciobanu Denisia Georgiana (04:48, 5 July 2024)

Buna ziua! As dori sa public un articol despre un subiect nou pe Wikipedia. Ma puteti indruma, va rog? --Ciobanu Denisia Georgiana (talk) 04:48, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Bună, @Ciobanu Denisia Georgiana! Voi fi mai mult decât bucuros să vă ajut să creați un articol — Help:Your first article este un link care este util, precum și Wikipedia:Article wizard și Help:Introduction. De asemenea, sunt destul de sigur că limba în care vorbiți este româna — de aceea vă răspund în română prin traducere. Există o Wikipedia în română dacă nu știți — nu ezitați să verificați și acolo! Editare fericită! :) ~ Tails Wx 00:14, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Eshal khan (visionary 420) on User:Eshal khan (visionary 420)/Referencing sandbox (06:56, 13 July 2024)

Hi, I've to ask you something that i can i create changes.. --Eshal khan (visionary 420) (talk) 06:56, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

What's the biggest problem in today's world?

Well, i believe that social inequality is the biggest that individuals can't control... Eshal khan (visionary 420) (talk) 07:10, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

I believe this question is the one you’re referring to above, @Eshal khan (visionary 420)—but this doesn’t seem like it’s related to Wikipedia unless it’s referring to the social inequality article. Probably should be asked someplace else, not Wikipedia (unless it’s a study related to it that would be useful to Wikipedia). ~ Tails Wx 15:34, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

List of F5 and EF5 tornadoes Improvement Time!

Hello there! I am sending this alert to all members of the WikiProject Weather and editors who have recently edited in the realm of tornadoes.

There is a large and important discussion ongoing, with the goal to completely overhaul and improve the List of F5 and EF5 tornadoes. The previous improvement attempt back in 2022/2023 gained almost no participation. This alert is being sent out so these discussions hopefully gain a reasonably-sized participation, so the F5/EF5 tornado article, one of the most viewed weather-related articles on Wikipedia, can be improved for all readers!

If you wish to participate, please visit: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Weather/Possible F5/EF5/IF5 tornadoes. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 16:15, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from SDO TI (19:22, 26 July 2024)

Hi, the logo file for my company (Texas Instruments) is incorrect in Wikipedia Commons and as a result is displayed incorrectly on several pages throughout Wikipedia. I want to upload the correct version, but the tool says copyrighted images are prohibited. In tutorials, I see a "fair use" button but I do not see this option when trying to upload the file myself. Any advise? --SDO TI (talk) 19:22, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Congrats on writing the first meteorology-related biography article to reach GA status! I didn't know where to put it under the GA sorting system, so it's just under Meteorology. Reconrabbit 13:11, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for the review, @Reconrabbit! I think placing Timmer under “Meteorology” would be okay, yeah. :) ~ Tails Wx 14:56, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Alert: PD-NWS Violations

This is an alert being sent to all active editors on the WikiProject of Weather and any editor who has recently editors weather-related articles.

Editors on the Commons have received communication from the National Weather Service that the Template:PD-NWS, which is often used to upload weather-related images, is incorrect. There will be a discussion starting on the Commons Copyright Noticeboard within the next few days to determine how to manage this issue. Under the current PD-NWS copyright template, images on any NWS webpage was considered to be in the public domain unless it had a direct copyright symbol and/or copyright watermark.

One National Weather Service office has confirmed this is not the case. For the next few days, it may be best to not upload any image from an NWS webpage that was not made or taken directly by the National Weather Service themselves. Once the Commons determine how to move forward, editors will recent a new alert. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 23:41, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Co-Nominate a GAN with me?

Hey Tails Wx! I did a check over the 2013 Moore tornado and it look to be in really good shape. I just checked the list of top 10 editors on it and all ten of them are inactive. So, I wanted to propose we co-nominate it for GAN. Would that be something you would be interested in doing with me? We could obviously discuss the article and make sure it is in tip-top shape before the nomination. Let me know what your thoughts on this proposal are. Cheers! The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 20:31, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

I’ll be happy to co-nominate the article, @WeatherWriter! I do see a few issues that could be addressed (particularly MOS:LEADCITE) before nominating, however, so just an fyi. Thanks! :) ~ Tails Wx 18:25, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

PD-NWS Violations Update #1

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) 03:28, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
