Request for edit summary

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 6% for major edits and 42% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 77 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 00:31, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Andrew

You wrote that andrew is the only hurricane known to make 2 cat5 landfalls. But how could we confirm this? Several other hurricanes passed through the bahamas at cat5 and could easily have made 2 landfalls there. Also, Camille followed nearly the exact same path as Katrina and I believe it made landfalls in both LA and MS. — jdorje (talk) 18:53, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That page isn't really to be trusted...it has not gotten any kind of review. Andrew didn't even have its second bahamas landfall listed until I went back and examined the best-track. — jdorje (talk) 20:12, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

2006 tornado season

I've been busy lately and inactive on Wikipedia. Indeed severe weather is very likely, starting with a dry run of sorts Tuesday and continuing at least through early next week. Two or three very intense systems have been forecasted for a couple weeks now and the overall pattern change expected even longer. Thursday should be the first really big event, with one or two others probably to follow. Almost every day should see some severe weather and a few tornadoes, with the big days potentially as "big" as some of the last November events. There's uncertainity, thus the lack of really strong wording in forecasts, but suffice it to say a very active period is now upon on us. If you would like to keep abreast of weather happenings, this is a pretty good public forum that yet has some professional meteorologists and knowledgeable enthusiasts: http://www.easternuswx.com/

I see the Tornadoes of 2006 page, very good! That general idea is what I was thinking of with the annual articles, I like to keep as much information as possible, and this does it without making an obtusely long list with relatively common events. As I find time (something I say way too much), I plan to add climatology info, with graphs, statistics, etc., for each year as well, plus a generic tornado climatology page with explanations and data.

Also, I see the wikiproject has been proposed formally finally, kudos. I'll look more into that and I'm sure I'll be contributing quite a bit. Evolauxia 07:51, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I will be largely unavailable for the foreseeable future. Evolauxia 05:22, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Get ready for more severe weather (including at least some tornadoes) the 29-31, especially the 30th and maybe 31st, it looks like. This one has been progged for a while, too, and still looks like a go. Evolauxia 05:36, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Images for March 2006 Tornado Outbreak

Feel free to add any NWS images according to the Springfield, IL template below... the trick is the image must come from the noaa.gov webspace. Bonus points if it's attributed to a NWS photographer (mine wasn't). —Rob (talk) 22:05, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thought you might want to know

Since you seem to be very interested in tornadoes, on right now and tomorrow on the Discovery Channel is a program called "Super Tornado". It's part of the Super-Series, including "Super Solar Storm", which is on right after this, and "Super Typhoon" on March 26th and 27th. -- RattleMan 02:09, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

April 2006 Tornado Outbreak

I'm new to "event" type articles. Can you explain why you removed my content and photos? The fatality didn't happen in O'Fallon, and the damage depicted in the illusrations came from this storm system. Rklawton 20:15, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I moved the photos down, as they were in the wrong section. The photos are in a separate section and the tornado impact is in its box in the chart. CrazyC83 20:18, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Since the photos make the refernece section look pretty sloppy, maybe we should turn the photos into a gallery. I think the Fairview Heights/O'Fallon information looked better the way I had it - different cities, different damage. Rklawton 20:22, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea for now - I had them together since it was likely the same tornado. (Likewise the Dyer and Gibson County events are together since they were likely one tornado as well.) If they get confirmed to be the same tornado, they'd be merged back together. CrazyC83 20:30, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fairview Heights is O'Fallon's western neighbor. The fatality and damage were certainly caused by the same cloud, but I can't say how many tornados the cloud spawned. If one tornado caused the Fairview Heights and O'Fallon damage, then it had multiple touchdowns with gaps up to a mile. The O'Fallon tornado was small and it went touch and go quite a bit. It hopped over a house on the edge of a subdivision and smashed a house in the middle. It then hopped out of the subdivision again. In total, one barn was destroyed, two houses lost their roofs and had significant top-floor damage, and several hundred more houses sustained roof or window damage. The worst damage occurred in three small "hot spots" surrounded by many more houses with roof damage. Oh, and the local tornado siren failed. Rklawton 20:50, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nashville Tornado of 1998

I'm curious where you got the figure ">$150 million (2005 USD)" from for the damages. In particular I find it strange that damages for a 1998 tornado would be given in 2005 dollars. Kaldari 16:23, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The >$150M figure is based on the $100M (1998$) figure for Nashville, plus other damage elsewhere. Damage figures for all weather events are expressed in 2005 dollars in the infoboxes; it was a standard we set first with hurricanes. CrazyC83 19:35, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't that strike you as a rather rediculous convention? Are we going to go through all 10,000 disaster articles every year and recalculate the damage amount to compensate for the past year's inflation??? All dollar amounts should be according to the year they occured in. Converting all of them to compensate for inflation is Original Research. Where is this convention specified? It needs to be changed, ASAP. Kaldari 20:27, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

1990 Central US Tornado Outbreak

I was wondering if you could help me with this one and several of the other 90s > Pres tornado outbreaks. I am attempting to assemble similar tables to the ones that have been used to describe recent outbreaks.

Utah and gay-rights

"Utah, seriously? I thought it was the most conservative state outside the Bible Belt! CrazyC83 21:15, 25 August 2005 (UTC)"

I noticed this so I thought I would respond. See same-sex marriage in the United States the governor of Utah and the mayor of Salt Lake City have made serious legislative pushes for domestic partnership type legislation which qualifies as a same-sex union. With the mayor even expressing support for same-sex marriage. If you view the voting results on that article you also notice that Utah actually had only 66% of its population vote in favor of banning same-sex marriage while 67% of Nevada did (and 86% of Miss.). And you will see that the Utah Senate considered establishing reciprocal benefits for same-sex couples in 2005, with the governor's backing and about ten state senators, which failed since 18 opposed. Polls typically indicate that while the majority of Utahns are against same-sex marriage they are in favor of domestic partnerships. 71.213.29.162 07:11, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I like your idea of expanding the catastrophic series. We have Florida and Texas (Texas courtesy of me.. i love to brag) and we should create Gulf and East coast. Maybe Mexico and Cuba and all the other countries, too. Not just the US. →Cyclone1→ 18:21, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

2005 ACE value

Not sure who to contact about this, but shouldn't the 2005 ACE value contain the ACE of the unnamed subtropical storm (19)? Currently, on 2005 Atlantic hurricane season statistics, I do not see this reflected. — Super-Magician (talk • contribs • count) ★ 16:42, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article formatting

Dear Tropical cyclone editor,

As a member of the Tropical Cyclone Wikiproject, you are receiving this message to describe how you can better tropical cyclone articles. There are hundreds of tropical cyclone articles, though many of them are poorly organized and lacking in information. Using the existing featured articles as a guide line, here is the basic format for the ideal tropical cyclone article.

1. Infobox- Whenever possible, the infobox should have a picture for the tropical cyclone. The picture can be any uploaded picture about the storm, though ideally it should be a satellite shot of the system. If that is not available, damage pictures, either during the storm or after the storm, are suitable. In the area that says Formed, indicate the date on which the storm first developed into a tropical depression. In the area that says Dissipated, indicate the date on which the storm lost its tropical characteristics. This includes when the storm became extratropical, or if it dissipated. If the storm dissipated and reformed, include the original start date and the final end date. Highest winds should be the local unit of measurement for speed (mph in non-metric countries, km/h in metric countries), with the other unit in parenthesis. The lowest pressure should be in mbars. Damages should, when available, be in the year of impact, then the present year. The unit of currency can be at your discretion, though typically it should be in USD. Fatalities indicate direct deaths first, then indirect deaths. Areas affected should only be major areas of impact. Specific islands or cities should only be mentioned if majority of the cyclone's effects occurred there.
2. Intro- The intro for every article should be, at a minimum, 2 paragraphs. For more impacting hurricanes, it should be 3. The first should describe the storm in general, including a link to the seasonal article, its number in the season, and other statistics. The second should include a brief storm history, while the third should be impact.
3. Storm history- The storm history should be a decent length, relatively proportional to the longevity of the storm. Generally speaking, the first paragraph should be the origins of the storm, leading to the system reaching tropical storm status. The second should be the storm reaching its peak. The third should be post-peak until landfall and dissipation. This section is very flexible, depending on meteorological conditions, but it should generally be around 3. Storm histories can be longer than three paragraphs, though they should be less than five. Anything more becomes excessive. Remember, all storm impacts, preparations, and records can go elsewhere. Additional pictures are useful here. If the picture in the infobox is of the storm at its peak, use a landfall picture in the storm history. If the picture in the infobox is of the storm at its landfall, use the peak. If the landfall is its peak, use a secondary peak, or even a random point in the storm's history.
4. Preparations- The preparations section can be any length, depending on the amount of preparations taken by people for the storm. Hurricane watches and warnings need to be mentioned here, as well as the number of people evacuated from the coast. Include numbers of shelters, and other info you can find on how people prepared for the storm.
5. Impact- For landfalling storms, the impact section should be the majority of the article. First, if the storm caused deaths in multiple areas, a death table would work well in the top level impact section. A paragraph of the general effects of the storm is also needed. After the intro paragraph, impact should be broken up by each major area. It depends on the information, but sections should be at least one paragraph, if not more. In the major impact areas, the first paragraph should be devoted to meteorological statistics, including rainfall totals, peak wind gusts on land, storm surge, wave heights, beach erosion, and tornadoes. The second should be actual damage. Possible additional paragraphs could be detailed information on crop damage or specifics. Death and damage tolls should be at the end. Pictures are needed, as well. Ideally, there would be at least one picture for each sub-section in the impact, though this sometimes can't happen. For storms that impact the United States or United States territories, this site can be used for rainfall data, including an image of rainfall totals.
6. Aftermath- The aftermath section should describe foreign aid, national aid, reconstruction, short-term and long-term environmental effects, and disease. Also, the storm's retirement information, whether it happened or not, should be mentioned here.
7. Records- This is optional, but can't hurt to be included.
8. Other- The ideal article should have inline sourcing, with the {{cite web}} formatting being preferable. Always double check your writing and make sure it makes sense.

Good luck with future writing, and if you have a question about the above, don't hesitate to ask.

Tropical cyclones WikiProject Newsletter #1

Number 1, June 4, 2006

The Hurricane Herald

This is the monthly newsletter of WikiProject Tropical Cyclones. The Hurricane Herald aims to give a summary of the activities of the WikiProject over the past month and upcoming events over the next month. In addition monthly tropical cyclone activity will be summarized.

You have received this as you are a member of the WikiProject, please add your username in the appropriate section on the mailing list. If you do not add your name to that list, the WikiProject will assume you do not wish to receive future versions of The Hurricane Herald.

Storm of the month

Typhoon Chanchu near its peak intensity

Typhoon Chanchu was the first typhoon and first super typhoon of the 2006 Pacific typhoon season. Forming on May 9 over the open western Pacific Ocean, Chanchu moved over the Philippines on the 11th. There, it dropped heavy rainfall, causing mudslides, crop damage, and 41 deaths. It moved into the South China Sea, where it rapidly strengthened to a super typhoon on May 14, one of only two super typhoons recorded in the sea. It turned to the north, weakened, and struck the Fujian province of China as a minimal typhoon on the 17th. The typhoon flooded 192 houses, while heavy rainfall caused deadly mudslides. In China, Chanchu caused at least 25 deaths and $480 million in damage (2006 USD). Elsewhere on its path, strong waves from the typhoon sank eleven Vietnamese ships, killing at least 44 people. In Taiwan, heavy rainfall killed two people, while in Japan, severe waves killed one person and injured another.

• Improvements are requested to Indianola Hurricane of 1886, Hurricane Camille and Hurricane Andrew.
• The WikiProject is likely to submit Hurricane John (1994) and Hurricane Katrina to Featured Article Candidates in the near future, so please help improve them to featured standard.

Member of the month

This isn't the generic barnstar, we just don't have a WPTC star yet…

The May member of the month is TitoXD. The WikiProject awards this to him for his brilliant work in improving articles. TitoXD joined the WikiProject in October just after it had been founded. Since then he has contributed substantially to many articles, for example Hurricane Nora (1997), which is currently a Featured Article Candidate. He is also actively involved in the assessment of articles and so helps to improve many more articles.

Explanation of content

If you have a topic which is not directly related to any specific article but is relevant to the WikiProject bring it up on the Newsletters talk page, and it will probably be included in a future edition of The Hurricane Herald.

These two sections are decided by the community on the newsletter's talk page:

• Storm of the month: This is determined by a straw poll on the page. While all storms will be mentioned on the newsletter, the selected storm will be described in more detail.
• Member of the month: Nominations are made on the talk page, voting is by secret ballot; read the talk page for details. The winner receives the WikiProject's barnstar (when we make it).

Main Page content

• 2005 Atlantic hurricane season appeared on the Main Page as Today's Featured Article on June 1.
• Hurricane Floyd will appear on the Main Page as Today's Featured Article on June 17.
• Entries from Dvorak technique, Typhoon Joan (1970), Typhoon Chanchu (2006), and Storm of October 1804 appeared on the Main Page in the Did you know column during May.
• Entries from 5 other articles relating to tropical cyclones had appeared in the Did you know column earlier in 2006.

The assessment scale

• The cyclone assessment scale is one of the bases of the new assessment scale for Version 1.0 of Wikipedia. It splits articles into several categories by quality, to identify which articles are "finished" and which ones still need to be improved.
• The assessment scale by itself counts of several grades:
  • FA: reserved for articles that have been identified as featured content only.
  • A: this grade is given to articles that are considered ready for Wikipedia:peer review. The way to get this grade assigned to an article is by asking other cyclone editors at the WikiProject's assessment page.
  • GA: reserved for articles that have passed a good article nomination.
  • B: these articles are "halfway there", and have most of the details of a complete article, yet it still has significant gaps in its coverage.
  • Start: articles that fall in this category have a decent amount of content, yet it is weak in many areas. Be bold and feel free to improve them!
  • Stub: these articles are mostly placeholders, and may in some cases be useless for the reader. It needs a lot of work to be brought to A-Class level.
• The way to use these assessments is by adding a parameter to the WikiProject template on the articles talk page ({{hurricane|class=B}} as an example). This feeds the article into a category which is read and parsed to create an assessment table, summary and log.

Failed terrorist attempts

I'm just wondering why you added Category:Failed terrorist attempts to the 2006 Toronto terrorism case article. It's a category that doesn't seem to exist, as you can see, and I'm not really sure how many articles would fit into that category. --Gpollock 20:26, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Weather ideas

Well, the first thing I notice is that there is a Portal:Weather that is not maintained nearly enough, and at this moment it doesn't seem to be tied into WikiProject Meteorology. That would be the perfect portal to tie into it, and perhaps add a box describing recent weather events (major tropical cyclones included). Then we could add the "tasks to do" section there, as well. I do like how many of the historic blizzards have gotten articles, and also the coverage on tornadoes so far (and I think that can mostly be attributed to you), but I think we still need more coverage, especially on international events. Unfortunately, other weather news isn't as easy to come by as the major Nor'Easters, or the Atlantic hurricanes. There's usually a few floods every year that kill hundreds of people, for example, and if we can have articles on fishspinner hurricanes in the Atlantic, then surely we could find some on some of the less-covered weather events. Problem is is that, unlike tropical cyclones, it's hard to find info on some of the past weather events (for example, we may have already lost our chance to create that Great Plains Blizzard of 2006 article...). I've also made a commitment to create articles on any major weather events that happen in or near Utah (that being where I live and all...), problem is is that there's little to no information on historic weather events here (with the exception of the Salt Lake City Tornado). I'm also still very keen on creating, say, the Major winter storms of 2006-07 article, as you suggested on the wikiproject talk page (I could create a subpage on my user page and then make it an article later when the time comes, if need be).

Also, it would be great if we created an assessment scale, as well. That would help with improvement and organization of articles. Finally, I like the idea of creating an article on the weather events that occur that year (say, United States weather of 2006; take a look at this for a smaller example), especially if we create an article on all of the major winter storms to occur that season. These are smaller ideas, but maybe it will get this going in the right direction (and then maybe we can take some clues from the tropical cyclone wikiproject if this ever gets to an "active" stage). Hopefully this can be a step in the right direction for this wikiproject (it has as much, if not more, potential than the tropical cyclone wikiproject...the problem is getting people here to commit to it). bob rulz 02:14, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, glad to know my ideas were good. So, would it be possible to affiliate Portal:Weather with this wikiproject? bob rulz 04:25, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I'll probably ask the creator of Portal:Weather and see what I can do to get it tied into the meteorology wikiproject. Also, I'll create a subpage for United States weather of 2006 soon, and I'll continue to edit it until I feel it's satisfactory enough to make a full page. When I do make it, please feel free to edit it, as well. It's not an easy thing to do by myself. We just need it to have enough content and be well-written enough (and you're good with your writing, so it shouldn't be a problem if you contribute to it), and then we can make it an article. It shouldn't take long to do that. You also mentioned that you're trying to bring up archives to work backward? Are you talking about archives for weather events or something? I haven't been able to find any of those anywhere on the web... bob rulz 16:29, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have created my United States weather of 2006 sandbox article. It would be great if you contributed. I included stuff that I could remember or could look up easily, but it still needs to be much more comprehensive before I can upgrade it to a full article. I'm not even sure if I got all of my facts correct, honestly. So, feel free to contribute and add any sources you can find...I want this to become one of the primary articles in the meteorology wikiproject. bob rulz 19:32, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the problem is is that I'm not sure about some of the things...like, did that flooding in California occur in March or April? How much flooding actually occurred in the Pacific Northwest? When did all of those major floods occur (like, the ones around Houston and Corpus Christi, Texas)? etc. I think that I might be able to get it to a satisfactory level later today sometime. I'm glad you like it though. bob rulz 19:49, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have now officially created the article. I have also left a note on the wikiproject talk page to see who is willing to help out with it. Now that that's behind me I will start working on some of the other articles. The core articles, especially, are lacking in content. bob rulz 08:21, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cyclone predictions

Just to let you know, even though they took away our old-timey, friendly "web forum" atmosphere, I've always appreciated your predictions. They were usually right in line with my thinking, and we were usually right. —BazookaJoe 23:53, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Winter Storms 2006-07

Well, I like that you made this article, but did we really need to make it yet? It seems a bit premature to me. Also, you mention the Southern Hemisphere, but yet you still call it 2006-07, which would cut the Southern Hemisphere winter in half...I don't have a good solution for that, though. It's not like tropical cyclone seasons, which you can define easily. And also, shouldn't it be Major winter storms 2006-07 or just Winter storms 2006-07? I'm a sucker for grammar...storms shouldn't be capitalized, lol. Also, including major at the front would keep it so minor winter storms wouldn't be included...anyway, this is just me being nitpicky, but I thought I'd address them anyway. Thanks for the creating the article, at least. Gives us a start for the season. Also, I'm going to start a subpage on User:Bob rulz/United States weather of 2006 soon; again, feel free to help. I don't want to create it as an actual article until it's thorough enough to be one. bob rulz 05:37, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ernesto

Just to let you know, Stormcarib.com is a good website that has unofficial reports for tropical storms in the Caribbean. In the individual island reports, there's some preparations and impact for Ernesto, which could be useful for a potential Ernie article. Hurricanehink (talk) 21:42, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. I still think you should wait a bit until we get some Jamaica/Cuba preparations/impact, though. Hurricanehink (talk) 21:49, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
