Picture of the day

[1] Check that out. --Golbez 15:24, July 26, 2005 (UTC)

Shall we put it on the Commons and in the article? :) --tomf688^<TALK> 16:01, July 26, 2005 (UTC)

I saw this somewhere else, but didn't snag it because it was a commercial site and I wanted to avoid any issues. -- Cyrius|✎ 19:53, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

The site says it was taken by the crew of the ISS. Does that make it NASA's? --tomf688^<TALK> 20:37, July 26, 2005 (UTC)

It was on NASA's website, so... I'd say it's probably fair game --Golbez 21:31, July 26, 2005 (UTC)

2007? 2008?

An anon created 2007 Atlantic hurricane season and Revolucion created 2008 Atlantic hurricane season; are these really needed/useful/valuable? --Golbez 18:35, July 28, 2005 (UTC)

No/no/no. They're just placeholders. Hell, I'd say the 2006 article isn't useful, but there's absolutely no way of preventing its creation. -- Cyrius|✎ 18:40, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

What do we do about it? By the way, there is now a 2009 Atlantic hurricane season and a 2010 Atlantic hurricane season.

I'm starting to think there's nothing wrong with them. They have factual info - the list of storms. But 2010 is the logical upper bound of that. A 2011 hurricane season article can't be done, we don't know what the list of storms will be. Hm. --Golbez 22:44, August 3, 2005 (UTC)

I agree with Golby. --tomf688^<TALK> 22:47, August 3, 2005 (UTC)

Hmm, I guess that's true. However, how many of you think you're gonna be around to continue editing for those seasons? ;-) bob rulz 23:33, August 3, 2005 (UTC)

What do you mean by that?

E. Brown, Hurricane enthusiast - Squawk Box 00:08, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

lol. I mean still editing on Wikipedia. bob rulz 00:26, August 4, 2005 (UTC)

They are placeholders and duplicate information, nothing more. -- Cyrius|✎ 01:40, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

What are we going to do about it?

E. Brown, Hurricane enthusiast - Squawk Box 02:37, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

Never mind. Someone deleted them all. Solves that problem.

Southern hemisphere

The new article linked is a wonderfully huge article that contains no information whatsoever. What do y'all think? --Golbez 03:32, August 1, 2005 (UTC)

It is currently winter in the southern hemisphere. -- Cyrius|✎ 03:47, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

No, it doesn't contain any information (aside from storm names and definiton), but, as Cyrius stated, that's because it's currently winter there. That article could have plenty of information in it by, say, March. bob rulz 08:21, August 1, 2005 (UTC)

I created it over the weekend and I am currently working on filling in the 2004-05 season, now there is a article with a lot of information. The first storm from that season formed in late August and became Tropical Cyclone Phoebe. So it may not be much longer before things get interesting. I never realized there were so many storms down there, not much press on them in the U.S. --Holderca1 12:57, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Interesting

I came across this while trying to find a working link to a broken link in the Bret article. It has information on all the hurricanes from 1886 onward. I was thinking that we could use some images from here for this article and all previous seasons, but I have no idea how to copyright them or if it would be wise to use them at all. There are some more interesting pages out in the main page, here. RattleMan 07:38, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

They're exactly the same as the tropical section archives on wunderground, and therefore, I know for a fact that they would be copyrighted. bob rulz 09:35, August 12, 2005 (UTC)

Storm of June 1858

In the article William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, there is a reference to the storm of June 1858 which wrecked the laying of the transatlantic telegraph cable. It would be good to have an article on the storm if possible. Cutler 08:16, August 17, 2005 (UTC)

We article writers have only gone back as far as 1894 so far. I think we came to a consensus here that we would only go back as 1886. Maybe it could be noted somewhere else? -- RattleMan 09:28, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

As this storm happened in the eastern Atlantic at about 52°N, and "lasted more than a week"[2] it doesn't sound like a tropical cyclone. It's not in the historically reconstructed tables. A newspaper reported before the event that "The fortnight succeeding the 5th of June has been ascertained by the experience of many years to be the calmest of the year".[3]--Keith Edkins 21:20, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

There was no cyclonic storm that hit the Atlantic coast, or anywhere near it in June 1858. The only documented cyclonic storm occurred June 12 and was loacted in the Yucatan Channel. The storm that may have taken out telegraph cables was probably just one of those nasty early summer storms. Will try to see if i can dig up an article on it regardless.
