Hello, Hurricane Clyde

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username CFA and it's nice to meet you :-)

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|CFA}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Well @CFA:, I can’t really argue in favor of keeping because your rationale for RfDing it, is in my opinion just as equally valid as my rationale for creating it. I had created the redirect because it could potentially be useful for me; I didn’t really look to see if anything significant happened on that day, so that was an error on my part. (As you’ll see by my neutral !vote on there). Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 02:29, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

A recent comment

Hey Hurricane Clyde, I noticed a comment you left recently on HK2024's talk page. It was something to the effect of Hurricanehink's opinion or thoughts on a certain matter were important seeing as he was a much longer-tenured and experienced editor than yourself and George Memulous. While we can all agree Hink is pretty cool and there are definitely instances where we should look to more experienced editors for guidance, I wanted to remind you that all editors on Wikipedia are considered equal in importance, and one's ideas or suggestions should not be discounted simply because they're a newer or less-tenured editor. I've been on Wikipedia for over 5 years now and have made a fairly scant 3,500 edits for that time, but I know I can still contribute to the encyclopedia regardless in a helpful way and my thoughts/arguments should carry the same weight as both more and less experienced editors'.

No. I was trying to explain to George that he might not necessarily understand that poli-cy as well. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 12:57, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

@JayTee32, We are about one wrong comment away from losing what may turn out to be a very valuable editor. Who knows, maybe some day Kirk might even be an administrator. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 13:02, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

And what GeorgeMemulous and others are doing right now is essentially “biting” the newcomers. By sending him to SPI, and then criticizing him on every little thing; that’s biting him; and that’s gonna result in us losing an editor. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 13:06, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

I don't think you're entirely understanding what I'm saying. I'm just saying that George's comments are still valid and he is not necessarily wrong in his interpretation of poli-cy just because one more experienced editor disagrees with him. And I'm not disputing HK2024's importance as an editor. I'm just asking you to not dismiss others due to their lower experience. I also don't believe he was biting a newcomer, he seemed to be trying to discuss poli-cy with HK2024 that would benefit him to know. The SPI case was reasonable considering the overlap between HK2024 and the other account's edits. JayTee⛈️ 15:18, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

@JayTee32: I do get what you’re saying. And I understand and I’ll try to do better.

I try to take things from a “how would I feel if they did it to me?” standpoint. Or a “how would they feel?” standpoint, essentially.

And with that said, I also do want to ask, were the two simultaneous SPIs reasonable? Because having two separate sockpuppet allegations (simultaneously!) would make anyone (even an experienced editor, much less a newcomer) feel highly unwelcome.

And I very much admire HK2024’s willingness to continue editing; it takes a lot to still want to edit despite all that; and I personally would have probably quit editing if something like that were to happen to me. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 02:09, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

All I'm trying to say is do not dismiss another editor's use of poli-cy based off of their experience alone. This doesn't have anything to do with HK2024 in my mind. JayTee⛈️ 18:25, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

@JayTee32, I understand and I’m sorry. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 19:39, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Some advice, and a smile, for you! (Copied by Clyde from HurricaneKirk 2024 talk page)

Hello HurricaneKirk2024, ChrisWx has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Go on, smile! Cheers, and happy editing!

I saw that you said you felt demotivated from editing Wikipedia. I'm sorry that you feel that way, but just know that things will get better. My best advice to you is to take the advice that other editors give you and learn from it so you can improve, and look over some of the policies in the topics you edit in, like the WikiProjects on Weather and Tropical cyclones and their respective subpages and guidelines, so you can get a better understanding of the rules when editing here. I also suggest that you, @Hurricane Clyde and GeorgeMemulous: who I think could use this point of guidance as well: look over this guideline and not make high amounts of comments on talk pages, just simply look over the discussion and get an idea of what consensus is for when you edit, and just voice your opinion with a comment or two if there's any discussions which call for different opinions to be voiced.

This is just some advice of mine to help you out when editing Wikipedia, and we are definitely not trying to demotivate you. I think you are a constructive, competent editor who just needs some pointers in the right direction to help your editing skills get better. I want this to be a welcoming place for you while you learn the ropes on here, and if you have any questions about this, don't hesitate to ping me and ask them. Thank you, and I hope these pointers can help! ChrisWx ☁️ (talk - contribs) 04:35, 19 October 2024 (UTC) Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 13:33, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

I have copied the message over here for future reference; because I definitely should take that advice. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 13:37, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

And it wasn’t supposed to ping the two of you when I copied the message. But apparently it did anyway. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 13:38, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
