just a question[edit]

How do you manage to get the black swaths off of worldview.earthdata.nasa.gov so early in the day? I have the black shadows over the countries and I then have to wait for it to be uploaded to the database for them to be removed. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RecentEdits (talk • contribs) 15:47, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

i use paint.net or GIMP to rotate the image so it doesn't show any black lines. using suomi npp imagery works as it doesnt have any missing data lines but sometimes it can look weird with a line cutting storms in half Fleur De Odile 16:14, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Peace talks, maybe[edit]

Thanks for the contribution here on Wikipedia. But it seems your image is completely similar on my friend's (Yukaribba's). It is completely similar, except for one thing. The coastlines. Well, I occasionally use these coastlines if a storm is nearing landfall (ex. File:Maria 2017-09-18 1815Z.jpg) and I don't really use them actually. Everyone here avoids the coastlines' thing, and such a beautiful pictures you upload (or overwrite, like in the 2006 typhoon season.) is just being disgusted by coastlines. I suggest you will avoid the coastlines to make a near-perfect picture of a cyclone. - 👦🗣️ 07:01, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lili image[edit]

Thank you for uploading the image for Lili. However, it is incredibly dark and far too zoomed out, and as such, does not match the features of images used in cyclone articles. I proceeded to fix this, and would kindly ask that you do not revert to the original simply for the sake of keeping your own original image. I would also ask that you do not make objectively false assertions to support your viewpoint, as this is deceptive. The central dense overcast in the image that I uploaded is centred, whereas yours is offset below and to the right of centre. Thank you in anticipation of your cooperation on this matter.

P.S. You should note that the image has blue in it because the ocean is blue. The darkness of your image makes the ocean look black.ChocolateTrain (talk) 03:17, 11 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

IBTrACS wind data[edit]

Hi there! I see that you updated strengths of Australian tropical cyclones and you mentions that it's from the IBTrACS wind data. Can you show me a link to where you got that? Thanks! INeedSupport ^:3 22:24, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Article of the month, by Jason Rees

History of tropical cyclone naming - The practice of using names to identify tropical cyclones goes back several centuries, with storms named after places, saints or things they hit before the formal start of naming in each basin. The credit for the first usage of personal names for weather systems is given to the Queensland Government Meteorologist Clement Wragge, who named tropical cyclones and anticyclones between 1887 and 1907. This system of naming fell into disuse for several years after Wragge retired, until it was revived in the latter part of World War II for the Western Pacific basin. Over the following decades, various naming schemes have been introduced for the world's oceans, including for parts of the Atlantic, Pacific and the Indian Ocean. The majority of these lists are compiled by the World Meteorological Organization's tropical cyclone committee for the region and include names from different cultures as well as languages. Over the years there has been controversy over the names used at various times, with names being dropped for religious and political reasons. For example, female names were exclusively used in the basins at various times between 1945 - 2000 and were the subject of several protests. The names of significant tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean and Australian region are retired from the naming lists and replaced with another name, at meetings of the various tropical cyclone committees.

Storm of the month and other tropical activity

Cyclone Fani was an extremely severe cyclonic storm that made landfall in Odisha, India on May 3. The storm achieved peak intensity as a near Category 5-equivalent cyclone with 3-minute sustained winds of 215 km/h (130 mph), 1-minute sustained winds of 250 km/h (155 mph), and a minimum central pressure of 937 hPa (mbar). Fani caused over $1.8 billion (2019 USD) in damage in India and Bangladesh and killed at least 89 people.

Since the last newsletter, twelve systems have formed.

Southwest Indian Ocean
In the Southwest Indian Ocean, Cyclone Kenneth made landfall in Mozambique approximately 1 month after Cyclone Idai, causing widespread flooding and destruction. Overall, Kenneth killed at least 52 people and caused more than $100 million in damage. Additionally, Tropical Cyclone Lorna formed over the eastern portion of the basin in late April and dissipated in early May without affecting land.
Australian Region
In the Australian Region, cyclones Lili and Ann formed in early May and both affected land. No deaths were reported, although Lili caused moderate damage in the Maluku Islands and East Timor.
South Pacific
In the South Pacific, a tropical depression formed in mid-may, but failed to intensify and dissipated a few days later.
South Atlantic
In the South Atlantic, Subtropical Storm Jaguar formed in late May and lasted for approximately two days before becoming extratropical.
Western Pacific
In the Western Pacific, three weak tropical depressions existed during the first half of May.
North Atlantic
In the North Atlantic, Subtropical Storm Andrea formed on the same day as Jaguar, but failed to intensify and dissipated on the next day.

The Eastern Pacific hurricane season began on May 15.
The Atlantic hurricane season will begin at 2:00 AM EDT on June 1.
The Central Pacific hurricane season will begin sometime after 12:00 AM HST on June 1.

Editorial for welcoming new users, by Hurricanehink

Every year, editors new and old help maintain the new season of season articles. The older users are likely used to the standards of the project, such as how to Wikilink and reference properly. Newer users might make mistakes, and they might make them over and over again if they don't know better. If anyone (who happens to read this) comes across a new user, please don't bite, because with enough pushback, they'll decide that this group of editors is too mean, and unfun. This is all a volunteer project; no one can force anyone to do anything. We're all on here because of our love of knowledge and tropical cyclones. If you find someone new, consider using the official WPTC welcome template - Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical cyclones/Welcome.

I also encourage that if you know any tropical cyclone researchers, please speak up and try recruiting them to edit. Veteran editors can't keep editing forever. Life gets busy, and the real world beckons!

Member of the month (edition) – Yellow Evan

Yellow Evan has been involved with WPTC since 2008. Since the last newsletter, Yellow Evan has taken 5 typhoon articles to good article status as well as created 2 more. Overall, he has created and/or significantly contributed to more than 130 good articles. Your work in the Western Pacific Basin is invaluable... Thank you for your contributions!

Images[edit]

It seems to me that you consistently overwrite my cyclone image uploads without much reason. Sometimes your upload is better, but often, your images are no better than the ones that were already there, and commonly they are worse. If you are going to overwrite something, please provide actual evidence which supports your overwrite, rather than just "This is better" as a reason. That is simply an opinion of yours, and it appears as though you are just overwriting other people's images because you want your own images to be the ones used. Regarding the Vayu image, the original has far better colour quality and is not washed out and dusty in appearance. Furthermore, it has the correct ratio that is used conventionally used in images of cyclones here on Wikipedia. It is also closer up to the cyclone so that more details are visible. The cyclone only takes up a tiny amount of the field in the image you uploaded, when Vayu is supposed to be the subject of the photo, not the deserts of India and Pakistan. I hope that in the future you can make some more productive edits such as contributing information to Vayu's article section, rather than overwriting images all the time. ChocolateTrain (talk) 17:27, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hurricane Dorian images[edit]

You keep changing my photos of Hurricane Dorian to more zoomed out photos. It doesn't matter if the photo quality is worse, it matters what the image is projecting and what it means. My photos convey this better as they show the coastline. Normally coastlines wouldn't be accepted except for their landfalls, in which case is important since it shows the islands better. You're images are constantly zoomed out and waste a lot of necessary space on the article.

Please respect others instead of insisting your photos are always better, and please, don't be a jerk. Jayab314 23:56, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

your image is basically a poor quality screenshot and mine is not. Fleur De Odile 14:16, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Hurricane Noah and A1Cafel: Again, it doesn’t matter if the photo quality is worse than yours, it matters what the photo is showing. The only reason I’ve heard for keeping your photos is because it has better quality. Your reasoning screams WP:IDONTLIKEIT and is not valid. My photos show the landfalls better as they have borders and are more zoomed in to the eye, showing more detail. Your photos are zoomed out and waste necessary space in the article.

Please respect others, and please, don't be a jerk. Jayab314 16:40, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Track help[edit]

Thanks for the advice. However, what input should I put it on the terminal? I am currently using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, as an alternative because I also work in tropical cyclone images as you have seen me overwrite it with a better 'science quality data' version. Can you tell me what is the input for centering the track? I am new to the project, as I want to do it. Also, can you assess the error above? (please see Tracks.) - 👦 13:19, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

TS Fitow track??[edit]

Okay. I was just spinning in the 2001 typhoon season article and saw your IBTrACS data of Tropical Storm Fitow. I mean, it is the "biggest clusterfuck of dots of all time". Now, if you see here (http://agora.ex.nii.ac.jp/cgi-bin/weather-chart/search_day.pl?lang=en&year=2001&month=8&day=25) until the end of 30 (18z), you could say that I am conflicted in the TD Jolina infobox that "it was last seen as an exposed surface circulation virtually where it formed on August 21" when the JMA weather maps continued to track Jolina until the storm was last seen as a TD near Taiwan (see day 24, 06z). - 👦 06:17, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Some of your recent edit summaries and WP:ESDOS[edit]

Please do not attack other editors. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you.

I noticed a recent edit of yours (namely, a change of an inofbox's image) appeared to be unnecessarily inflammatory towards another user. Some of your recent edits (e.g. [1] and [2]) might also be interpreted in this way, while others are vague or lack explanation (e.g. [3] and [4]). Edit summaries are an important aspect of editing on Wikipedia, particularly in resolving content disputes. See the section §Edit summary dos and don'ts on Wikipedia's Civility policy for a brief summary of what should be avoided in edit summaries, and WP:EDITSUMCITE for a quick overview over what makes a good edit summary. --TheAustinMan^{(Talk ⬩ Edits)} 18:52, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summary[edit]

@FleurDeOdile: Did you really just assert here in your edit summary that I should be banned from uploading? That is not really a valid justification for your edit, and is rather contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. I'm not sure why you prefer that image to the original anyway, given how low resolution and zoomed out it is. I am not going to revert your edit given recent events; however, I will contact other editors to see their opinion. Pinging: @Jason Rees, @Hurricanehink

To be honest with you, I'm not so concerned about the image. Of course, I believe your upload has several flaws, but I couldn't really care less about that at the moment. I'm just disappointed with your edit summary and your attitude towards me in general. I am not going to have an argument about it, because it will probably just end up being twisted to be used as more ammunition against me. ChocolateTrain (talk) 20:35, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I hate getting involved in these satellite imagery wars and I think Hink is the same as I have no real knowledge about this.Jason Rees (talk) 22:52, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. ChocolateTrain (talk) 00:51, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If anyone has a problem with what image is used, remember that it's pretty much pointless, the average reader doesn't care, and if you can't agree on something, then you need to discuss it on a talk page and not in an edit summary. I don't believe anyone involved here should lose the privileges of uploading images. There are so few of us editing TC articles. We need to get along and make our edits productive. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:29, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ferdinand image[edit]

@FleurDeOdile: I can't believe that I really have to engage in yet another disagreement with you about image selection, but I feel that it is warranted in the Ferdinand situation to prevent any more pointless reversions. I believe your preferred image, namely File:Ferdinand 2020-02-26 0605Z.jpg, is inferior to the original image, namely File:Ferdinand 2020-02-26 0608Z.jpg. The most pressing reason for this is the excessively small portion of the image that the cyclone occupies in your upload. By my rough estimation (assuming a circular system with a total CDO and banding radius equal to approximately 15% of the image width), the cyclone takes up only 5% of the image area, given a 4:3 aspect ratio. This is far too small. Looking at the image, it is effectively impossible to discern any details of the cloud structure and shape other than simply that it is white and roughly circular. The 0608Z image, which I prefer and uploaded originally, shows details like cloud texture and altitude to some extent, and shows more clearly that the eye is not circular. There is no reason to have the cyclone take up such a small portion of the image, when the sole purpose of the image is to show what the cyclone looks like. Although our situation is not as extreme, the first bullet point here, the point regarding subject size in the preceding plain text, as well as the photo in the previous subsection, illustrate a starker example of what I am trying to explain. I should also note that your image is timestamped incorrectly, as the Aqua satellite passed over the cyclone at 06:08 UTC rather than 06:05 UTC, contrary to the indication in your image's title.

It is not necessarily my place to comment on your editing history, but given a cursory perusal of your editing statistics, perhaps it would be useful and rewarding for you to consider diversifying your contributions to Wikipedia, and to clash less with editors on the topic of images. ChocolateTrain (talk) 03:13, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page watcher) FleurDeOdile: I encourage you to engage in the discussion ChocolateTrain is facilitating here. By my count, the two of you have overriden each other's image eight times, including the latest instance which occurred well after ChocolateTrain opened dialogue above, not to mention the several changes on the file itself. All of these changes have also been done without noting the change in edit summaries. @ChocolateTrain: I know these have largely been two-sided affairs, but I would suggest in future instances to bring image discussions to the article's talk page rather than on user talk pages to foster further discussion and better gauge consensus on the article itself.

The two images have their positives, but ideally I think a compromise between the two images would be best. I think the best tropical cyclone images are ones that provide sufficient context: they satisfactorily illustrate the storm's intensity, appearance, and surrounding the geographic context—all three of those facets. The 0605z image does a better job at the last point, showing more of the surrounding landmasses, while the 0608z handles the first two better, since we don't want the subject matter to be so small relative to the image. I would suggest a crop about midway between the two, perhaps with just part of Sumba in view. —TheAustinMan^{(Talk ⬩ Edits)} 00:45, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cyclone Herold[edit]

Hey there. I saw you redirected the article for Cyclone Herold without any discussion. May I ask, how come? The article is on the shorter side, sure, but the storm still killed five people, affected two different countries, and was pretty impactful for Madagascar. It's not the best article, sure, but it's an article made by a new user, and I'm trying to encourage new users to try making articles, even if they're not perfect. There's a reason we have start-class articles. Eventually they can be improved by other users. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:28, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Final warning over inappropriate behavior[edit]

You have been warned multiple times over the last several months about your inappropriate behavior, particularly with edit summaries, and this is your final such warning. Recent examples: [5], [6], [7]. I gave you a warning myself in November, you received a second warning in February, and ChocolateTrain complained later that month. A lack of responses to these messages leaves me to believe you have no intention of changing your behavior. If you continue attacking other editors through summaries or messages, you will be blocked for a period of time. Please refer to Wikipedia:Civility on how to appropriately interact with other users on the site. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 19:35, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

the problem is that all of this is caused by all of users that trigger me (IPs, vandals and F13 followers). and combined with anger issues causes that. i honestly need a break from WP for a long while (not necessarily i need to be banned). Fleur De Odile 21:07, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's understandable that things can get frustrating, that's comes with trying to maintain the site. But when that frustration builds, you have to take a step back before reacting. Things don't have to be accomplished immediately here, so taking time to think things through is not a problem at all. Discussions are a core element of Wikipedia, that's how disputes are resolved here. In the case of not believing Irondro warrants an article, the best course of action would be to start a discussion on the talk page and ping (using {{ping|user}}) the editors involved. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 21:30, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Unexplained reversion[edit]

You have once again reverted an edit without providing an explanation. This is contrary to Wikipedia policy and is unacceptable. ChocolateTrain (talk) 04:26, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note that if you fail to provide an adequate explanation for this reversion, or any reversion in the future, the previous version will be restored.

I mean...[edit]

I know that you have reverted me twice regarding TD Ambo's image in the current infobox. But is the reason because the image name and quality is not that good since it has been made by a relatively new user? I will agree with that, though.

COVID-19 section on 2020 AHS[edit]

Are you just going to keep removing the COVID section on 2020 Atlantic hurricane season without providing an explanation? You have not said anything at all on why you keep removing it. I for one think it needs to be there considering the season could be one of the most difficult seasons we’ve been through, because of the pandemic and potentially active season forecasted too. So please stop, or I may have to report you if you keep this up. --MarioProtIV (^talk/_contribs) 23:10, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

How active the season may be is of little importance. Nevertheless, I don't have a problem with the content but the lead sees like a weird place for the information. Perhaps the seasonal predictions section? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:08, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can i ask a question? What makes some random mayor of a city in some US State so notable, that his views about Covid and the hurricane season are represented in the AHS? Especially at a time when the TC warning system was being tested in the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji and Tonga by Cyclone Harold. I would also be curious to see if his views has changed since. Dont get me wrong though, I think some stuff to covid is relevant to all of the season articles, but it has to be in a balanced way.Jason Rees (talk) 01:43, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disruptive editing[edit]

In the 2020 Pacific hurricane season article, you removed a mention that travel restrictions were lifted and stores were opened at partial capacity amid the pandemic to allow people to prepare for Amanda. That is directly related and it's not ambiguous. You have been told by multiple editors now, including when you and I had an extensive chat on IRC, that coronavirus mentions are notable and worthy of addition. If you truly believe your viewpoint is the correct one and you can persuade everybody else, bring the topic up on a talk page. Otherwise, these edits are nothing but disruptive.

Your reversion at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2020_Pacific_hurricane_season&diff=973324266&oldid=973322905 which removed a paragraph for Fausto (that would otherwise need better formatting (just do that instead!)) was not particularly the best course of action and ESPECIALLY w/ it having no edit summary is just explicitly... goodness.

Hi. I personally think it would do FDO some good if he was blocked for another 72 hours. An IP has raised a complaint at Talk:Tropical cyclone effects in Europe for Fleur's reversion of all of Subtropical Storm Alpha's section in the article! This means that the third Atlantic hurricane to make landfall in Europe — and the first storm to do so since 1842 — doesn't even get a mention in Tropical cyclone effects in Europe.

Perhaps a slight change name?[edit]

Hi, Fleur. Correct me if I am wrong but I just want to say thanks for helping keeping updated with the geostationary images towards the Atlantic (and maybe PHS) basin articles. But maybe to save your time and effort as well, since I started doing this recently in the Wpac geo images, but to just use the designation number instead for the name? As for instance with "Epsilon Geostationary VIS-IR 2020", it would be replaced with 27L instead. Back then when we only have a designation then it strengthens into a named storm, we have to request to change and update the file name. Moreover the geo images in a season have a mix of the storm names and storm designations. Just a heads up. Have a good day, though. Typhoon2013 (talk) 22:44, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring at Hurricane Eta[edit]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 5 days for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

The full report is at the edit warring noticeboard. To be unblocked, any reasonable proposal for how you could act differently in the future might be considered. You were blocked 72 hours for similar reasons back in May 2020 but the complaints on your talk page suggest that no improvement occurred as a result.

I strongly advise Fleur to seek WP:Mentorship from an experienced editor on how to better handle themselves on the site. If they agree to do so, the block may be rescinded early but additional personal attacks/harassment of other users and/or edit warring will result in an even longer block. Incivility has been a chronic issue with Fleur and they have shown little care toward correcting this behavior. There is a desire to work within the project from what I've seen, but the manner in which they have gone about it over the least year or more has not been acceptable. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 02:51, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

One-minute winds in the Australian region[edit]

@FleurDeOdile: I wish to talk about your frequent removal of valid data from the 2020–21 Australian region cyclone season article. I appreciate that you don't seem to think the JTWC has classified the season's tropical lows as tropical depressions, but this assertion is simply false, as I've pointed out numerous times, and yet you continue to ignore it. Along with the one-minute sustained wind speed, the tropical depression designation is quite clearly indicated in the JTWC track files for the relevant systems. As I have also mentioned, the JTWC—as written on their website—is a branch of the United States Navy whose purpose is to provide warnings on severe tropical meteorological threats to agencies of the US government. You should notice that there are several products that the JTWC only issues for systems in the western North Pacific Ocean, including prognostic reasoning messages, three-hourly position update products and numbered warnings for systems with sustained winds of 23–33 knots (below tropical storm threshold). As directly stated on their website, "Per JTWC directive, prognostic reasoning messages are only required for the western North Pacific, where there are increased U.S. Government asset concerns." This point about the northwestern Pacific having more US government assets (e.g. navy and air force bases) is one that I have also mentioned–and has been ignored–several times. Furthermore, "JTWC initiates tropical cyclone warnings when... estimated maximum sustained wind speeds within a closed tropical circulation meet or exceed a designated threshold of 25 knots in the North Pacific Ocean or 35 knots in the South Pacific and Indian Oceans," as I have explained previously. Thus, the reason you don't see products on tropical depressions in the Australian region is because the JTWC does not operationally issue numbered warnings on these systems due to a lack of US government assets there, and not because the system somehow isn't a tropical depression. I really hope this is the last time I have to explain this. ChocolateTrain (talk) 07:15, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@ChocolateTrain: JTWC does not produce final best tracks for such systems that don't get classified, and invest numbers repeatedly roll over, so there is no way for us to source these numbers in the same way we can point to track files of classified systems. FleurDeOdile is right to do what they're doing here. Also, you really need to work on being less overly verbose; this could've been explained in half the words or less.--Jasper Deng (talk) 07:29, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Jasper Deng: Archived operational track files are sufficient for non-TS strength systems. Also, I know I've mentioned this to you in the past, but ~~you~~ one can't make a good argument if ~~you don't~~ one doesn't include any evidence–otherwise it's just my word against theirs. ChocolateTrain (talk) 07:33, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

When did I not include any evidence? I literally just pointed out that archived operational track files are not sufficient in general because of the reuse of invest numbering. There will be multiple 90S's and/or 90P's this season, for example. When a new invest is needed, the old ones' track is overwritten. Also, JTWC is not consistent in classifying these systems as TD, sometimes using DB instead. There is a strong project consensus against using these 1-minute numbers, so you will have to bring this up at WT:WPTC if you want any hope of changing this practice, not one of our talk pages.--Jasper Deng (talk) 07:47, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ackk, I saw something changed on the season article that led me over to this page. Only have the info from JTWC for designated systems (01P, 02S, 03S, 04P, etc). Invests don't count.--CyclonicallyDeranged (talk) 07:54, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Jasper Deng: I never said anything about you not including evidence. I was talking in general terms about how arguments are written. I have now changed the wording above to make it clearer. Incidentally, avoiding ambiguity and minsunderstanding like this is exactly why it is prudent to not sacrifice clarity for conciseness. Anyway, your point about overwriting track files is irrelevant, since we can simply archive them for future use. There are dates and times for each data point contained in the track file, so there is no risk of confusing invests with the same designation. And yes, the JTWC actually is consistent in their classifications. In the future please ping me when replying, because I am not a talk-page stalker because I think it's unhelpful. ChocolateTrain (talk) 09:17, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@ChocolateTrain and Jasper Deng: As one of the main SHEM editors, this is one issue that I hate with the JTWC in the SHEM as they won't call anything a tropical depression publically (The ECMWF/NOAA BT files are not public per say and do not supersede the Significant Tropical Weather Advisories). I will note that though we could in theory, have a situation where NOAA (NWS Pago Pago) issues warnings on a tropical depression that is expected to intensify into a tropical cyclone and impact American Samoa. Now bearing in mind that NOAA wants to use 1-min winds worldwide, I would think that it would be perfectly valid to call it a tropical depression on the SSHWS.Jason Rees (talk) 19:52, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

JTWC does not reanalyze these systems though and doesn't put data in IBTRACS. I also do not think CT is entitled to pings; that's what watchlists are for.--Jasper Deng (talk) 20:49, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

10U image[edit]

Despite not my image, it is pretty unfair to propose a deletion for an image you claim to be is "garbage". It is not your decision, and hence I opposed. Reasonings like that are a big yikes, and only stating "low quality image" for a deletion is kinda useless when you did not mention how it was low-quality. What about the other "low quality images"? Otherwise why propose a deletion when you can make it better? Please not that NO ONE's image is superior than others. Anyhow would like to thank @DachshundLover82: for bringing that up too in the article talk page. Typhoon2013 (talk) 22:00, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I may like to add that cursing at confused people is extremely rude. I would suggest you make calmer edit summaries as opposed to using swear words. Also, calling every image "garbage" doesn’t help Wikipedia at all. Please be kinder here on Wikipedia.DachshundLover82 (talk) 01:50, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

March 2021[edit]

Your recent editing history at 2020 Pacific typhoon season shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
You really ought to know better than this, yet you chose to revert without even bothering to use an edit summary. This pattern of poor communication has been going on long enough. Jasper Deng (talk) 19:31, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

the same can be applied to Kristy '85 where it never left 80E (rule was changed next year) yet the season article lists a 55kt C2 Fleur De Odile 23:36, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There isnt a BoM BT for Roma either, because of the lack of satellite imagery in those days. As for Kirsty 85, the data from IBTRACS shows that it was a Cat 2 inside Aus, before becoming a Cat 5 in between 80 and 90E. Personally I feel that we should be consistant for our readers sake and say that all systems between Africa and 90E are a part of the SWIO, 90 and 160 Aus and 160 and America SPAC. If not then it starts getting messy. Jason Rees (talk) 23:44, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Tropical cyclone 2[edit]

Hi. I want you could create a tropical cyclone track. It is tropical cyclone 2, of May, 11th-14th 1983. I have the track but I don't know how to plot it. It's the only tropical cyclone of southeast Pacific, east of 120ºW. https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/gibbs/html/GOE-5/IR/1983-05-13-18 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Luxin1989 (talk • contribs) 22:27, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

2022 Atlantic Hurricane Season tracks[edit]

A few people over there wanted the seasonal map to be updated but the person who normally does it has been inactive. Could you tell us how you make these or make the summary? Mitch199811 (talk) 23:51, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The issue has been corrected. Mitch199811 (talk) 00:45, 4 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

2022 Tropical Low Australian basin[edit]

Hi, just wondering why you removed my edits as they are from the same source that the other information is from the JTWC. In fact the mbar has now decreased to 1001 according to JTWC: https://www.metoc.navy.mil/jtwc/products/sh9423web.txt, also did I record the wrong wind speed or something because it says 22-28 knots estimated maximum wind speed. Also what is "F13 crap" I'm sorry if I did something wrong and I'll try to make better edits in the future. Hiyouboots (talk) 00:26, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Weather: Map Dot & Template/Infobox Colors[edit]

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 project page for additional details. The proposal phase will close no later than December 31st at 23:59 UTC. Noah^Talk 03:22, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

March 2023[edit]

Your recent editing history at Cyclones Judy and Kevin shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
Consensus at Wikipedia:WikiProject Weather/Color RfC was clear and firm. You cannot override it just because WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Jasper Deng (talk) 02:15, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have to say that we shouldn't follow off-wiki wider TC Wikia and F13 community. They operate in different manner than us and has been the reason why WikiProject Tropical Cyclones got into ARBCom. I tried to integrate and adapt with these people, but they don't conform once it comes to consensus-making, not to mention protests from the older WPTC members pre-2013.

March 2023[edit]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violating behavioral expectations, most notably off-wiki canvassing.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Barkeep49 (talk) 16:02, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would just like to emphasize that indefinite does not mean infinite and so there are definitely ways you can write a successful appeal of this block. Barkeep49 (talk) 16:03, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Extremely rate cyclone in South East Pacific.[edit]

Recently, I discovered several articles documenting the formation of an "extremely rare tropical cyclone" in the Southeast Pacific basin, near Peru, and unofficially named by the tracking agency as " Yaku". Should it be added to the South Pacific cyclone season? Vệ Thần^{- Talk} 23:08, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
