== 2016 storm in Uruguay ==

Hi HurricaneGonzalo. Thanks for your edits, I appreciate your effort. But, please, let me kindly point to an important issue. Storms in Uruguay characteristically do not provoke deaths, unless they are serious cyclones or similar. Yesterday the piece of news was "four dead in Dolores due to the tornado", then OK, I accept your changing the name to "[[2016 Uruguay tornado]]". But today we have further pieces of news, pointing to other dead in the rest of the country, due to storms/floods. This makes a national catastrophe of sorts. So, I further suggest you to rename the article, say, "April 2016 storm in Uruguay". What do you say? Regards, --[[User:Fadesga|Fadesga]] ([[User talk:Fadesga|talk]]) 21:35, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
:@{{u|Fadesga}}, Okay, so I like the new name. It kind of seems better than the older name, "2016 storm in Uruguay", which could refer to another storm that could occur this year. [[User:HurricaneGonzalo|HurricaneGonzalo]] ([[User talk:HurricaneGonzalo#top|talk]]) 20:08, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

==Disambiguation link notification for April 18==

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited [[List of Southern Hemisphere tornadoes and tornado outbreaks]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[Soriano]]. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].</small>

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these [[User:DPL bot|opt-out instructions]]. Thanks, [[User:DPL bot|DPL bot]] ([[User talk:DPL bot|talk]]) 12:04, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of [[Banknotes of the United States dollar|United States banknotes]], yet only a fraction of these are represented on [[c:Main Page|Wikimedia Commons]] in the form of 2D scans.  Additionally, [[Colonial history of the United States|Colonial America]], the [[Confederate States of America|Confederate States]], the [[Republic of Texas]], multiple [[List of states and territories of the United States|states and territories]], communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons.

In the months of November and December, [[WP:WikiProject Numismatics|WikiProject Numismatics]] will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the [[c:COM:US Banknote Contest/2019|2019 US Banknote Contest]].  The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on [[m:Complete list of Wikimedia projects|all Wikimedia projects]].  Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive [[c:COM:US Banknote Contest/2019#Awards|awards]].  Whether you want to claim the [[Template:GoldenWiki|Gold Wiki]] or you just want to have fun, all are invited to [[c:COM:US Banknote Contest/2019#How to participate|participate]].

==WikiProject Weather: Map Dot & Template/Infobox Colors==
Dear project member, 
This message is being sent out to encourage new ideas and feedback on those proposed in regard to the colors debate for WikiProject Weather. For those who are unaware of what's been happening over the last year, I will give a brief summary. We have been discussing proposed changes to the colors of the dots on tropical cyclone maps and templates and infoboxes across the entire weather project in order to solve issues related to the limited contrast between colors for both normal vision as well as the various types of color blindness ([[MOS:ACCESS]]). We had partially implemented a proposal earlier this year, however, it was objected to by a number of people and additional issues were presented that made it evident this wasn't the optimal solution. We tried to come up with other solutions to address the issues related to color contrast, however, none of them gained traction and no consensus was generated. 

We need your help and I encourage you to propose your own scale and give feedback on those already listed. Keep in mind that we are '''NOT''' making a decision on any individual proposal at this time. We are simply allowing people to make proposals and cultivate them given feedback from other project members. Please visit our [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Weather/Color RfC|project page]] for additional details. The proposal phase will close no later than December 31st at 23:59 UTC. [[User:Hurricane Noah|<span style="white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:#009200 0.3em 0.4em 1.0em,#009200 -0.2em -0.2em 1.0em;color:#009200"><b>Noah</b></span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Hurricane Noah|<span style="color:#ff0000"><b>Talk</b></span>]]</sup> 04:23, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
