Hurricane Sandy
This is your only warning. I see that you have been changing formats, changing info, and putting stuff in the wrong place. I have warned you before about this. It causes extra work for others to fix what you have messed up. The next time this happens, you may be blocked from editing. United States Man (talk) 21:49, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
Sorry, will always double check and sorry for the extra work. Again, my apologies to all. (Kennvido (talk) 03:27, 26 October 2012 (UTC))
- To be honest, the warning United States Man gave you seems a bit harsh and over-officious. We are supposed to assume "good faith" on Wikipedia, and a more helpful approach would be more likely to assist inexperienced editors to "get it right". Wikipedia is full of people who can be dictatorial and consider that they "own pages". Don't let them get you down, and don't let them discourage you. We all learn as we go along, and we all make mistakes along the way (even the most experienced editors). Skinsmoke (talk) 10:17, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
You are very kind to take the time and I appreciate your thoughts. I don't like it when members like Onionmon keeps reposting things, on Hurricane Sandy, that others, who have a bio on here and can be contacted, don't listen. I do my best to listen and learn to be a better poster here. You can see, I post a lot and I think do an okay job the majority of the time. Since the 'nasty' warning you referred to, which I deleted, was put up, yes I do get discouraged and well, angry. But, I try to take it in stride. I know I do my best to make things accurate and cited…Plus am thankful for members like you. No smoke, truth. Again, thanks...Kennvido (talk) 10:32, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
- You're welcome. We've all been victims of the "leave my page alone brigade" at times. Sometimes, it's just that they are a bit tired or exasperated, and lash out. A Welsh editor once had a right go at me over something I had done and, I admit, I bit back accusing him of having a "queeny fit" and letting his racism show. We are now the greatest of friends on Wikipedia, have enormous respect for each other, and have collaborated on a number of articles, so you never know..... Skinsmoke (talk) 10:41, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
I've never really got into it with anyone. I can't waste my time most of the time. Just some things set me off, like the dogmatic members you talked about of people like Onionmon. I started the NECC page and ASKED for folks to contribute and don't think it's MY page. I DO check it, as other pet pages, to see that the cites are right or even given. And I will help others when a cite is called for... I'll look for one to validate the particular. Well, be good my friend and God Bless.

Updating cyclone information
Thank you for adding the information for Sandy's 16 advisory to the articles. I noticed that you had a few mistakes and forgot to update some of the information. When updating the information, please make sure that you are updating all of the information. Inks.LWC (talk) 09:24, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
OK, thanks for the heads up... God Bless and have a great day.Kennvido (talk) 09:50, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
- Please make sure that you are updating all of the fields. I noticed some things that still weren't switched over when the HPC issued their first advisory. Inks.LWC (talk) 09:23, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

OMG... I don't expect anything... I love contributing good material as I am a native NY'er. I want our NE and Mid Americans to know they can come to Wiki and get GOOD VALID INFO and hex the naysayers of info on OUR GREAT site... Thanks and God Bless and take care of our Americans.Kennvido (talk) 04:00, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
Hurricane Sandy and dates...
First, thanks for all your great work adding info into the article! One minor quibble: when you add days like "Monday" and "Tuesday" in, it's very ambiguous. After Monday or Tuesday has passed, that day no longer makes sense...making the article out of date and incorrect. So it would be appreciated if you could use dates like "October 30" or "Tuesday, October 30," so that it remains unambiguous and encyclopedic, without need for future editing once the date has passed. Thanks. – 2001:db8:: (rfc | diff) 08:12, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
Ok, but feel free to do it. It cuts out the middle man, ME. :) Kennvido (talk) 08:17, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
- Well, honestly, that doesn't really work well. It's not quite fair to expect other editors to have to research and correct every instance...when you can simply use "October 29" or "October 30" instead of "Monday" or "Tuesday". It just creates significant extra workload in the future, for other editors, to go through and weed out all the references to days of the week that are no longer relevant. So PLEASE use a correct, encyclopedic date reference. While we are indeed writing this article as if it's breaking news, Wikipedia is WP:NOTNEWSPAPER: Wikipedia is also not written in news style. That means it needs to be written in an encyclopedic style. Even if it's a few more characters to type. (Edit: And sorry if I'm grumpy; I think that means it's time to sleep. I do appreciate all the additions you've made to the article!) – 2001:db8:: (rfc | diff) 08:22, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
You're serious? This is a day by day event. I would think no research would have to be done. ALL Mondays and Tuesday here are only today and tomorrow. But, I don't get angry with this, I just fix. Have a sparkling sleep my friend!!!! Kennvido (talk) 08:35, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
- Well, think of it this way: it's quite likely this event will have effects lasting into next week. Thus, we'll suddenly have multiple Mondays and Tuesdays, if information is added in in that fashion...that's one place difficulty comes in. (Even if it's not a huge deal right now.) But I see you fixed those date references, so thank you for doing so! – 2001:db8:: (rfc | diff) 08:40, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
I do see your point and will, as you see, not argue. God, I hope these poor people don't have this storm linger over a week. But, I KNOW when this part of the East Grid goes down... it's a looooong time to fix... stay safe. I'm in East Central Florida, and it just brushed us here. How about you? Kennvido (talk) 08:48, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah; as much as I'd *like* this to be over quickly, it doesn't seem like it will... I'm a few dozen miles from Boston; we're just getting some rain and wind so far, but that's definitely going to pick up...it shouldn't be too bad (we're used to our snowstorms up here), unless the power goes out for an extended period; repairing the power grid can take forever with a large outage, like you said. Thanks for the well wishes! – 2001:db8:: (rfc | diff) 08:58, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
Take care my friend. I've been through many storms down here and a lot on the air for radio and TV. THIS AIN'T NO NORMAL STORM!!!! Like I need to tell you that. God's Speed... Kennvido (talk) 09:04, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
Indenting on talk pages
If you add a colon to the beginning of a line, it will indent the line and make it easier to follow the conversation. Here is an example:
Hi, this is a Wikipedia talk page. Inks.LWC (talk) 03:34, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
- What is a Wikipedia talk page? User ABCDEFG12345
I knew that, but it's already good. It indents the other person's total reply already. Doesn't it show that on your side as well? Kennvido (talk) 08:01, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
- WOW...what's with all the pictures on the Hurricane Sandy page? Way too many or suggest please that they group them towards the bottom. Thanks. Kennvido (talk) 14:45, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
Re: Hurricane Sandy
Since the storm just passed, a lot of people want to throw everything into the main article and have it right there instead of the sub-articles. When the sub-articles are there, the main article is meant to summarize what's in the sub-article and link to it. But, for the time being due to the sheer interest in the storm, there is constant input on the main article. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 07:21, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
- You can see my many contribs to this article and the hours and hours I stayed up watching and entering, I am highly interested in the subject. I put my updates in the sub-articles, the after the storm info, and ONLY go to the main to add something I think should be there... or to check if I can help with new things added, you know, be helpful. When do you think they will do it like other subs and who will make that decision?
Kennvido (talk) 08:47, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
I'm almost sure this is not how talk pages are supposed to be used, but I'm a reporter from Popular Science and can't figure out how else to get ahold of you! My email is dan@popsci.com--I'd love to chat about the Hurricane Sandy Wikipedia page if you're interested! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.73.234.254 (talk) 19:25, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Hurricane Sandy, Redux
Hi there Kennvido. First of all, I want to thank you for your extensive contributions to the Hurricane Sandy article. You've done tremendous work improving the article. However, I disagree somewhat with your repeated deletion of the global warming references. I say somewhat because in case you didn't notice, I previously deleted a verison of the section that I recently re-added. Personally, I would also prefer not to mention it in the article because, while AGW is quite real and the most serious threat to the future livelihood of my generation, the peer-reviewed literature on the relation with tropical cyclones has been a fairly ambiguous. However, I'm compelled by where the reliable sources go, and a hell of a lot of them are making the AGW connection, however dubious it may be e.g.. Could you find a reliable source disputing the connection? That would be a much better alternative to deleting the well-sourced comments about Sany's connection with AGW. The talk page seems strongly in favor of including the material in some way, shape, or form, and I feel that my edit does so without placing undue emphasis on the subject.... Cheers, Sailsbystars (talk) 13:28, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
- GW speculation is just that. I understand where you are coming from, but in this case ALL storms, that ANY person who takes GW as Gospel, should enter it in many large storm articles going back at Andrew and possibly prior to that. I feel as I said, GW ought to be discussed on GW. Mention hurricanes there. I am should no one will delete it IF you can back it up with CONCRETE FACTS. Thank you for your kudos. Have a sparkling day my friend.
Kennvido (talk) 13:41, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
- Hey here's a thought... state your case regarding the hurricane, with PROVEN FACTS over on GW page, where it states, The effect on hurricane activity is less certain.[128] and put a link down in the See Also on the bottom of the Hurricane Sandy article...

What do you mean by "please leave this way so the references don't eclipse the stat board unless you can do it another way"? The table looked fine before. Nothing was being covered up. Inks.LWC (talk) 00:21, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
- It was here, the last two of the five refs ran into and over the words in the box. It's not by you? Kennvido (talk) 00:24, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
- Chrome and never had a prob before and as you know I've been on this page a lot for a week. Kennvido (talk) 00:29, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
- Hmm. OK. Well if there's a display problem, let's keep it centered as it is under your last edit, for now. But if we can figure out a way to make it work right-aligned, that'd be better, as right now it just creates unused whitespace on the page, and the article is already lengthy as is.

Your recent editing history at Hurricane Sandy shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. You're at 3 reverts now. I really don't want to see you blocked, because you have contributed a lot to the article, but you need to let the GW issue be resolved on the talk page. Inks.LWC (talk) 01:09, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
