This article: Draft:Tropical Storm Bret (2023) was declined by you and 2 other users, but I think it is certainly large and notable enough to warrant an article. It has over 20,000 bytes and almost 50 references with impacts from Aruba and Venezuela listed. With the things founds, the season article would not really be able to accurately give all information about this system. I went to the help desk, and they said to speak with someone who reviewed the article, so I came to you.

@Shmego: The issue at that time was that the draft was a persistent target of sockpuppetry. The default stance is to decline the draft when the one submitting it is a sockpuppet IP/editor. I dont see why an earnest review cant take place now, but I don't have the authority to do that or move the page over the redirect. Noah, BSBA^Talk 18:58, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see. That is a fair policy that I was unaware of. There is also no resubmit button now, though.

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
