WikiProject Weather: Map Dot & Template/Infobox ColorsDear 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 project page for additional details. The proposal phase will close no later than December 31st at 23:59 UTC. NoahTalk 03:23, 21 November 2022 (UTC) This week's article for improvement (week 48, 2022)

RE: Pretty Cure vandalismHello CycloneYoris, I may be retired, but I do check in on a few articles that I still have on my watch list, one of which is Pretty Cure. I noticed that you have restored vandalism to the article twice now claiming that a source is needed to undo the vandalism. As far as I know, there is no policy requiring a source to undo vandalism. You also inappropriately gave an editor a warning for clean up said vandalism. Care to explain your actions on why you are restoring the vandalism to the article and insist on new sources for dates that are already sourced in their respective articles? —Farix (t | c) 02:35, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

Sword Art OnlineHi, I don't get why Sword Art Online Clover's Regret infobox has to stay even if I create an article about it, since it's just a spin-off series like Alternative Gun Gale Online (which in fact doesn't have an infobox, it's just in the "Other" list) JohnnyyyFox (talk) 20:30, 2 January 2023 (UTC) ???

There are no sources referring to Hvitserk as "Haraldr," but there are several scholars connecting him and attributing the "White-shirt" epithet to Halfdan Ragnarsson.
