Tropical cyclones

Welcome to the tropical cyclone WikiProject! I'm a longtime editor, and I like reaching out to new users, in case they need any help. What aspect of tropical cyclones are you most interested in? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:38, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi there! I've had a long-time interest in the topic since around 2013, when I began watching typhoon warnings in the news as a 6 year old. I'm fascinated with the display of the forces of nature (and nature in general, really), as well as our ability to predict/forecast them. Recently my focus has been on subtropical cyclones (or any oddball/in-between weather systems), since despite them forming frequently in my region (Western Pacific, near Japan), there isn't much research done about them in my country, meaning there's much more for us to learn. I track tropical cyclones almost daily (whenever there are any) as a hobby, and I'm glad to join a community with similar interests! AluminiumWithAnI (talk) 12:53, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Original Barnstar
	Thanks for adding those old storms to the list of Pacific typhoons! I was wondering how old is the oldest known event. I came across the late 900s event in Japan, and I’m glad thanks to your efforts that it’s gone back a few more centuries! Keep it up. Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 12:22, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! I've been digging up old Japanese records that are pretty much inaccessible to the outside world (due to language barriers, as well as their obscurity), and I am honored to be of some help to the community! AluminiumWithAnI (talk) 13:15, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Omg you don’t even realize how important it is to overcome these language barriers! By adding to the English Wikipedia, that’s going to end up in Google searches and future research papers, because that once inaccessible info is now freely available to all. Keep it up!

I'm planning to add dozens more typhoons from the 9th to 19th centuries in the short term. I might leave for a few months between autumn 2024 to spring 2025 so as to study for my entrance exams for university, but I'm more than willing to contribute whenever I can. AluminiumWithAnI (talk) 00:50, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Awesome, that's a great attitude toward Wikipedia. Do what you can, when you can, and when you can't, no worries, it'll still be here! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:30, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 14

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited WASP-178, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Photometry. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Anarchism

Hi AluminiumWithAnI,

I saw your work on articles related to anarchism and wanted to say hello, as I work in the topic area too. If you haven't already, you might want to watch our noticeboard for Wikipedia's coverage of anarchism, which is a great place to ask questions, collaborate, discuss style/structure precedent, and stay informed about content related to anarchism. Take a look for yourself!

We also have a live cleanup drive, if you'd like to participate, and a mailing list if you'd like to be notified of upcoming edit drives.

Feel free to say hi on my talk page and let me know if these links were helpful (or at least interesting). Hope to see you around. czar 12:50, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you have added Creative Commons licensed text to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as HD 11343. You are welcome to import appropriate Creative Commons licensed content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Compatibly licensed sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any Creative Commons content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 19:48, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

Hello, thanks for the reminder. I'm in the process of figuring out the types of licenses and what you can and can't do with them, so I appreciate your help. Regarding this, I have one question: Is there an easy way to see the licensing/rights of an academic journal/article (e.g., if the images used can be used in Wikimedia projects)? That would be helpful for future contributions, especially for a beginner like me. AluminiumWithAnI (talk) 23:05, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

That's a good question. A lot of journal articles are compatibly licensed nowadays, and if they are, it will say so somewhere on the document. For this particular article, I could not locate the license anywhere on the webpage you used in your citation. However, if you click on the link to look at the pdf, you will see the license information at the bottom of the first page. (That's a typical place it will be found.) I did not have to download the pdf for this one, but occasionally I do.

For a chart that shows compatible licenses, see Wikipedia:FAQ/Copyright#Can I add something to Wikipedia that I got from somewhere else? — Diannaa (talk) 00:15, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
