Storm scale on the templateCan you take a look at the template I've been fiddling with and see if you can see why nothing is showing up. I've stripped it down so that it should just say "Test" where I want the scale to show up, and even that's not working. I have a feeling that I must have a wrong bracket somewhere, but I've gone over the damn thing at least 50 times and I can't find what I've done wrong. Here's the template: User:Inks.LWC/Template:Sandbox, and here's the test page: User:Inks.LWC/Sandbox7. Inks.LWC (talk) 18:17, 23 June 2013 (UTC) July 2013
Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 21:28, 5 July 2013 (UTC) ThanksI seem to get a better reception in WP than in certain other basins I could mention!--Keith Edkins ( Talk ) 19:10, 2 August 2013 (UTC) Edkins Barnstar messageI don't take kindly to you assuming that I'm just an idiot Yankee of all things (Learn the Mason-Dixon line). The changes that I was trying to implement were minor and did not even affect anything. I don't know why he refused to compromise. And this: "as he is young and doesn't 100% realize, that there is more than 1 way to skin a cat" makes no sense. What do you mean by young? What makes you think I don't realize something? (By the way, unless that was how you were taught, there shouldn't be a comma after realize; I'm not sure where you are from and I am really in no position to judge that anyway.) I don't want Edkins gone, but things can't stay the same way forever and change (even if minor) must come sometimes. United States Man (talk) 01:49, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
Convert/flip with disp=tablecenNow, {convert/flip} also allows the options for "disp=table" or "disp=tablecen":
The format is about as condensed as possible for general options. That also allows option x3=~ to show a tilde with the original amount. -Wikid77 Wikid77 (talk) 09:44, 20 August 2013 (UTC) Re:DatesThat was your fault. I was scanning through and noticed that the season effects table had listed a dissipation date. I thought that since there was no current storms infobox, the infobox had been mistakenly left as currently active. There was no need to jump all over me.

YE Pacific Hurricane 03:52, 3 October 2013 (UTC) Name situationThe situation in this basin is unique. This is the only basin (unless there is one in the S. Hemisphere) that two different agencies issue names. When CPHC storms cross into WPac, they are not renamed, so there should be no problem there. The parentheses show that PAGASA named it, and not the JMA. Otherwise, one would think the JMA named it. We need to be consistent so we don't confuse people, and this is the best way I know how at the moment. On another subject, if you can expand Bising that would be great. But, I think it already has enough to have its own section. The "Other storms" section is beginning to get crowded. United States Man (talk) 17:30, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
Re:2013 PTS TimelineEverything seems to be in order. The part that it appears you have worked on has been properly written and sourced and times have been included. The SSHWS should probably be shortened to SSHS (a more common abbreviation). I think it is a good idea to keep the JTWC category changes on there, as many readers are probably more familiar with that scale than the JMA's. Overall, great job so far.

Let me give you an example: Typhoon Wutip killed 65 people in Southeast Asia, nearly $523 million damage when made landfall in Vietnam, so you take damage only $3.28 million, according to me, this update is damage in China, which is narrow and only vision for a national bias affected by the storm. Or Typhoon Utor caused damage in the Philippines and caused $2 billion for PAGASA to rename storm "Labuyo", so that you give only $35.2 million. You should repair the damage properly. 123.27.147.102 (talk) 15:16, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

UcuchaBot (talk) 23:01, 28 December 2013 (UTC) Welcome to the 2014 WikiCup!Hello Jason Rees, and welcome to the 2014 WikiCup! Your submission page can be found here. The competition will begin at midnight tonight (UTC). There have been a few small changes from last year; the rules can be read in full at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring, and the page also includes a summary of changes. One important rule to remember is that only content on which you have completed significant work, and nominated, in 2014 is eligible for points in the competition- the judges will be checking! As ever, this year's competition includes some younger editors. If you are a younger editor, you are certainly welcome, but we have written an advice page at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Advice for younger editors for you. Please do take a look. Any questions should be directed to one of the judges, or left on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup. Signups will close at the end of January, and the first round will end on 26 February; the 64 highest scorers at that time will make it to round 2. Good luck!

Thanks for reverting my edit in the article. In PAGASA's website, the name listed in the "2014" column is Katring, not Kanor. Jose replaced Juan due to the drastic effects of typhoon Juan but Katring was not. I don't know if the one who added Kanor was the disruptive editor. The source is correct, but Kanor isn't. So would you mind if I change Kanor back to Katring as per the sources? I want to avoid another edit war, so I'm consulting you first before I make the edit. Again, thanks!

As we know, particularly destructive cyclone names are retired. However, a thought recently came into my mind: can retirements be appealed? For example, during the meetings of the relevant agencies to discuss retirements, is it possible for people attending to, for whatever reason, appeal a request for retirement for a name? And if tropical cyclone names are retired, does this mean that, if in the future, a totally new list of cyclone names is created for that basin, the retired name will not be considered for inclusion? Finally, have there ever been cases of tropical cyclone names that were retired, but eventually "reinstated"? Thanks. 125.212.121.211 (talk) 16:03, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:20, 31 July 2014 (UTC) Damages from Nakri/ 96WHi Jason, I've found this source: http://www.sunstar.com.ph/cagayan-de-oro/local-news/2014/08/02/lpa-leaves-over-p5-m-damages-misor-357308 . It says about the damages from a LPA, which actually became Inday and then Nakri. An anonymous user doesn't agree with this, since he said that it is a different LPA, somehow. Do you think we should put it in the season effects in Nakri's section that it caused $116K in damages? Just saying that this section is the same in the talk page of the 2014 season.

NRL relocated 91W significantly and abandoned all positions until 12Z on January 13, but other agencies considered them as the same system. JMA analysed that the first TD degenerated into an LPA and developed back to a TD, but it was not significantly relocated at all. PAGASA and CWB also considered them as the same system. I have updated the track image, replacing the abandoned positions with JMA positions. Moreover, I am planning to write an article for Lingling, as the current description contains some mistakes. -- Meow 15:14, 24 August 2014 (UTC) WikiCup 2014 August newsletterThe final of the 2014 WikiCup begins in a few short minutes! Our eight finalists are listed below, along with their placement in Round 4:
We say goodbye to this year's semi-finalists. There are two upcoming competitions unrelated to the WikiCup which may be of interest to those who receive this newsletter. The Stub Contest will run through September, and revolves around expanding stub articles, especially high-importance or old stubs. In addition, a proposal has been made for a new competition, the GA Cup, which the organisers plan to run next year. This competition is based on the WikiCup and aims to reduce the good article review backlog. There is now a thread for brainstorming on how next year's WikiCup competition should work. Please come along and share your thoughts- What works? What doesn't work? What needs changing? Signups for next year's competition will be open soon; we will be in touch. If, at this stage of the competition, you are keen to help the with the WikiCup, please do what you can to participate in review processes. Our finalists will find things much easier if the backlogs at good article candidates, featured article candidates, featured picture candidates and the rest are kept at a minimum. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Your comment says that "how many times I have to tell you...", although I am pretty sure that you didn't tell me 'how many times' (not being rude here).

Please......provide evidence as to what way in which this is an actual usage which would ever be used in a formal setting, and also please provide support for why it should be used rather than a more understandable, frequent usage. Also, I never was arguing that "during" was not a proper word; I was saying that I cannot verify that it is a proper usage in that particular situation, and note the word "usage". Also, I must say that I disagree with you in that you think it sounds better; it sounds worse to me. I've neither seen nor heard "during 26 July", "during May 7", or "during August 27" or any other similar situations, regardless of date format (Day-Month vs. Month-Day).

You did made lots of edits in the 2014 PTS season article but one of those edits I didn't agree with and it was the edit with 2 storms which were named by PAGASA and designated by JTWC (04W (Caloy) and 14W (Karding)). First of all, I didn't agree with this 2 years ago when you edited 30W (Wilma) on the 2013 PTS article, then you explained it to me. So I agreed and you told me to do this to every season with these types of scenarios. But Meow and 2 other people disagreed with me so I explained it and they explained it. It is confusing to us, actually. Also that's why in the 2013 PTS article, it still states 30W (Wilma), unless you leave a message to inform other users about this. :| Typhoon2013 (talk) 05:02, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Re:Retired namesTwo nights ago, I was just doing some extras and reading text of the Pacific typhoon seasons from 1990-99. The 1994's Katring made me investigate what caused the retirement of 2010's Katring. I compared the Katirng from 1987 and 1994 and found out that Teresa (1994) caused more damage and impacted the Philippines more, but Thelma (1987) did not really caused direct impact but did cause a storm surge which impacted the Philippines. So I thought that it was the 1994 one. Just my thoughts. Typhoon2013 (talk) 03:59, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Leading the way overall was Special credit must be given to a number of high importance articles improved during the second round.
The points varied across groups, with the lowest score required to gain automatic qualification was 68 in Group A - meanwhile the second place score in Group H was 404, which would have been high enough to win all but one of the other Groups! As well as the top two of each group automatically going through to the third round, a minimum score of 55 was required for a wildcard competitor to go through. We had a three-way tie at 55 points and all three have qualified for the next round, in the spirit of fairness. The third round ends on June 28, with the top two in each group progressing automatically while the remaining 16 highest scorers across all four groups go through as wildcards.

BoM BTI was looking at the 1999-00 Australian region cyclone season for a non-wiki project but I figure I found something that requires addressing in the article. I found that the WMO tracks for Steve, Vaughan, and Tessi (in IBTRACS) were incomplete (seems to be an problem with Brisbane). I also found the very useful Wellington BT had... more complete tracks. The problem is, they match up very well in everything except wind speed (pressure matches just fine). Wellington does not have Steve ever reaching cat 3 intensity (and similar findings for the other two storms), and curiously enough, it doesn't appear BoM does either. this page, found from a source on the wiki article, as well as this map, the accompanying text, and their headers, do not appear to support the fact that Steve was ever a cat 3 severe tropical cyclone. So I'm not sure why IBTRACS hasn't been changed to reflect this but it seems Wellington is up to date on this. I'm not sure what should be done about it. Also, is there any online best track data from BoM? Also, concerning the CPAC list on List of historic tropical cyclone names, it bothers me that the list doesn't align properly (or rather, that it's just one long list of names). Every other basin is effectively split into their lists, either alphabetically in NHC & SWIO, or because their seasons have many more storms than CPAC (WPAC, AUS, SPAC). I don't see why CPAC wouldn't be split into its lists either. It looks really weird and haphazard that it each name starting with, say, N, doesn't fit right next to the other three of them. The current format is basically one long concatenated list in table form, with years after each item, which doesn't make much sense. The width of the table is 10 columns as it is, 12 can't hurt? -- atomic7732 22:28, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

In Main Page on Vietnamese Wikipedia, Typhoon Cecil (1985) is this week's featured article. Can you translate it to English (You can use the Google Translate on some difficult words)? I think it can be a good article on English Wikipedia. CVQT (talk) 06:29, 15 October 2015 (UTC) Similar output to RaquelI just found a similar system to Raquel, it is 17F from 2001-02 season. One of the reasons why Raquel is more of in the 2014-15 season, is that its designation is continued from that season. Because of this, should 17F (at the moment, it's part of the 2002-03 season according to its season article) be apart of the 2001-02 season? Typhoon2013 (talk) 08:33, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

And also includes the agency in brackets? In the SPac and AusR basin articles, it doesn't say the agency but says "(Australian scale)". Should we add in the agencies? Because there is this thing saying WarningCenter and FMS and BoM. I'll give you an example in the 2015-16 SPac cyclone season article. Typhoon2013 (talk) 05:26, 8 December 2015 (UTC) The start date for the 2012 PTS/LateTDI noticed there was a TD in both the 2011 and 2012 PTS articles. It says that the TD developed on 31/12 of 2011 and dissipated on 01/01 of 2012. However in the 2012 article, the same TD, which dissipated on that day, made the 2012 PTS start. So my question is, isn't the TD part of the 2011 season, not the 2012? Because it is a bit confusing because there was never a storm which dissipated on the next year which made the next season started. You know what I mean? So which means that the 2012 PTS started on January 13, not January 1 as the 2011 TD dissipated that day and part of the previous year..

WikiCup 2016 is just around the corner...Hello everyone, and we would like to wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2016 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to sign up. There are some changes we'd like to announce before the competition begins. After two years of serving as WikiCup judge, User:Miyagawa has stepped down as judge. He deserves great thanks and recognition for his dedication and hard work, and for providing necessary transition for a new group of judges in last year's Cup. Joining Christine (User:Figureskatingfan) and Jason (User:Sturmvogel 66) is Andrew (User:Godot13), a very successful WikiCup competitor and expert in Featured Pictures; he won the two previous competitions. This is a strong judging team, and we anticipate lots of enjoyment and good work coming from our 2016 competitors. We would also like to announce one change in how this year's WikiCup will be run. In the spirit of sportsmanship, Godot13 and Cwmhiraeth have chosen to limit their participation. See here for the announcement and a complete explanation of why. They and the judges feel that it will make for a more exciting, enjoyable, and productive competition. The discussions/polls concerning the next competition's rules will be closed soon, and rules changes will be made clear on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring and talk pages. The judges are committed to not repeating the confusion that occurred last year and to ensuring that the new rules are both fair and in the best interests of the competition, which is, first and foremost, about improving Wikipedia. If you have any questions or concerns, the judges can be reached on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, on their talk pages, or by email. We hope you will all join us in trying to make the 2015 WikiCup the most productive and enjoyable yet. You are receiving this message because you are listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

--Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:28, 22 January 2016 (UTC) Your GA nomination of Cyclone EsauThe article Cyclone Esau you nominated as a good article has failed Low vs TLWell I saw the current bulletin from TCWC Brisbane about the current TL active today. It says a weak low instead of a tropical low, and this is the same for the weak low during Feb 5. I might be sure as well, when TCWC Perth started issuing bulletins of 07U, it formed on Jan 19 and states a weak low (it was mentioned a TL few days later when it was considered a moderate chance of developing). Also yeah, removing the low is ok, but as I said, let's wait and see as another TL might develop in the coming days. Depending on the designation of our next low, if it is 11U, then the Feb 5 low should only be mentioned in the Other systems section. If the next one is 11U, then totally rm the Feb 5 low and the current low should be recognized as 10U. However if it is different, then I'll think about it, I guess.
Sorry if I'm going too fast here, but the BoM has now started tracking on our recent low in the IO and was designated as 09U. It is impossible and never happened before when we have 10U, then he next one will be a number before 10. So pretty much that Feb 5 low is 09U? Or did they make a mistake?Typhoon2013 (talk) 08:15, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

I'm just posting to let you know that List of off-season Atlantic hurricanes – a list that you have been heavily involved with – has been chosen to appear on the Main Page as Today's featured list for March 18. The TFL blurb can be seen here. If you have any thoughts on the selection, please post them on my talk page or at TFL talk. Regards, Giants2008 (Talk) 00:28, 20 February 2016 (UTC) AusR stormsI decided to put another talk section your talk page because I knew this is going to be long and I will be breaking it down. But I got three things: First, as of right now since few hours ago, Tatiana is just sitting at the border of both basins (160E). Therefore, I have decided to also put Tatiana in the SPac article as the FMS is also tracking it.
Second, for the formation of Tatiana, I put Feb 6 (I put sources and a summary in its section) because the precursor tropical low of Tatiana developed on the 6th, however as you said, that not to include weak lows that aren't tropical, I stated that the TL weakened to a LPA and re-intensified back to a TL on the 10th.
Third, which also confuses me, so you said that 09U developed on the 8th, right? I did see the sources. However it says that "a tropical low is forming", which means that the TL has not yet formed within the 2 advisories/dates (Feb8-9). But on the Feb 10 advisory, it states a "tropical low was located/formed..." With this, 09U formed on the 10th. Because a TL which is still forming means that it hasn't happened yet/describes the future.
As a general note the dates will be probably be sured up further next week once both systems have dissipated.Jason Rees (talk) 01:33, 13 February 2016 (UTC) Thanks. Typhoon2013 (talk) 00:19, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

HurricaneGonzalo (talk) 17:42, 2 April 2016 (UTC) TSR WPac forecasts and reportsSo normally, the TSR issues forecasts in May, July and August, which the final report of the season is in January of the next year. Last year, TSR cancelled out doing the July forecasts, leaving it with 2 forecasts. Also TSR still has not (yet) issued their final report for the 2015 season, which I have been waiting for 3 months. I got a feeling that TSR is not going to publish forecasts soon with this, just like what they did for the Australian basin, which they discontinued forecasts since 2011. If this really happens, what do we do? Do we still add the season summary section with only unofficial agencies? Typhoon2013 (talk) 00:43, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
A barnstar for you!
El NiñoOk, but I suggest you that in your futures article creations, reestruturations or reconstructions, you first make your changes inside your sandbox, to apply all of them in the article in one edit once they are finished. It's very confusing for someone who access those articles to see unfinished sentences and broken links or tools, and it happens often when you are making many major edits. So it's natural for someone to revert it to a more stable revision, which can cause a trouble for you and for the readers/editors. But, it's just a suggestion. But, will you do the same for La Niña article? I think that that article is in a more dire situation than El Niño's one. ABC paulista (talk) 00:03, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

I noticed the difference in season of this region compared with the Australian and South Pacific region. One would expect the seasons to be more or less the same. So I checked reference nr. 41 esp. page I-5 "Cyclone season". From that I concluded that the period 1. July - 30. June is nothing more than an administrative period. This section also confirms that cyclones in the SW-Indian are most frequent in the southern summer. I understand you are the specialist on this subject so it's up to you how to evaluate my remark.

Hurricane Revert?Can you please give me some understanding to the reason behind the revert? It was a bad value, as the reference given shows. Additionally, it was a quiet change someone made in December 2015 that switched it from rapid intensification (used in most TC discussions and publications) to rapid deepening. I've been working on expanding the text for the section a bit to try to give a better idea why winds are used in TCs whereas pressure is used in ETCs and give it a tie to the explosive cyclogensis page... but if it's going to be reverted, perhaps I should just quit while I'm ahead instead of waste my time.

You know how I add in storm summaries in the 2016 PTS? Am I doing a great job? Because I think I have figured something out and I might change some things. So whenever I add in storm info in their sections, I noticed that there are a lot of sources I've used (reason why 2015 PTS has like 600 refs and 2016 PTS has 400). I think that information should be used for the storm article itself and therefore, I should reduce the info I put in and more of the effects info. I'll start doing that soon. You should know my goals, I like some of the PTS articles to have a GA rating. :) Typhoon2013 (talk) 01:14, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
Storm durations?If for example there is a system where the JTWC has tracked it from December 3-4, though the JMA has only tracked it during December 3, which storm duration do we use? Is it just the #1 rule where we always follow RSMC? Merry Christmas, btw. :) Typhoon2013 (talk) 07:09, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

It would have been 5 points, but when a late entrant was permitted to join the contest in February, a promise was made that his inclusion would not result in the exclusion of any other competitor. To achieve this, the six entrants that had the lowest positive score of 4 points have been added to the 64 people who otherwise would have qualified. As a result, some of the groups have nine contestants rather than eight. Our top four scorers in round 1 were:
The largest number of DYKs have been submitted by Vivvt and The C of E, who each claimed for seven, and MBlaze Lightning achieved eight articles at ITN. Carbrera and Peacemaker67 each claimed for five GAs and Krishna Chaitanya Velaga was well out in front for GARs, having reviewed 32. No featured pictures, featured topics or good topics yet, but we have achieved three featured articles and a splendid total of fifty good articles. So, on to the second round. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 but before the start of round 2 can be claimed in round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

However, changing the format of the dates to 1870, October 5–14 or whatever doesnt help the sorting and goes against Wikipedia policies on the dates. Anyway the problem with the sorting was the middle code didnt always have the century on it, so for example it was sorting as {{Sort|701005|October 5–14, 1870}} which is why you saw Jeanne 04 before San Marcos 1870. However, it was quite an easy fix to make once I had RV'd your edit as the way it should sort is {{Sort|18701005|October 5–14, 1870}}.Jason Rees (talk) 20:14, 12 May 2017 (UTC) Storm names in SPac?Hi again, Jason.

Possible tropical disturbance@Jason Rees: Hi Jason Rees. I hope you had a refreshing, rejuvenating and revitalising Wikibreak! I have a question, and as you are a long-time and experienced editor on Wikipedia, especially in the field of tropical cyclone articles, I thought I might ask you. There is currently a low pressure system in the central Indian Ocean, located at about 10°S 87°E (on the eastern edge of RSMC La Réunion's area of responsibility). The Australian Bureau of Meteorology noted the system in a tropical cyclone outlook for the western region of the Australian region, referring to it as a tropical low, not just a low (meaning the system is of significant magnitude). The BOM assessed its minimum central pressure as 1005 hPa, but did not give an indication as to the system's windspeeds (though, by looking at the 00:00 UTC gradient level wind analysis for 2 June, 15-30 kn winds are present around the system, with 30-45 kn winds in the southeastern quadrant). Despite the BOM's assessment of the system, La Réunion has not as of yet (as far as I can see) made any mention of the low. I am wondering whether or not I should include the system on the 2016-17 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season article. If I did, I would classify it as a tropical disturbance, as I'm pretty sure the system meets the criteria for this classification. Thanks in anticipation for your advice.

It was a hotly competitive round with all but four of the contestants exceeding the 106 points that was necessary to proceed to round 4 last year. Coemgenus and Freikorp tied on 288, and both have been allowed to proceed, so round 4 now has one pool of eight competitors and one of nine. Round 3 saw the achievement of a 26-topic Featured topic by MPJ-DK as well as 5 featured lists and 13 featured articles. PanagiotisZois and SounderBruce achieved their first ever featured articles. Carbrera led the GA score with 10, Tachs achieved 17 DYKs and MBlaze Lightning 10 In the news items. There were 167 DYKs, 93 GARs and 82 GAs overall, this last figure being higher than the number of GAs in round 2, when twice as many people were taking part. Even though contestants performed more GARs than they achieved GAs, there was still some frustration at the length of time taken to get articles reviewed. As we start round 4, we say goodbye to the fifteen or so competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them (some people have fallen foul of this rule and the points have been removed).

Godot13, Sturmvogel 66 and Cwmhiraeth 05:38, 30 June 2017 (UTC) WPac season effects tableHi Jason. I just want to discuss this here at the moment before making moves. First, imo I think we need to change the layout for the season effects table quite a bit for the WPac. The layouts for the PHS and AHS are much neat, I should say. Also, for example, take a look in the 2016 PTS article, the table is huge and I did discussed this to you about how large that article is. What do you think? Typhoon2013 (talk) 11:15, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
Timelines@Jason Rees: AFAIK, timelines should only include tropical cyclones monitored by the official RSMC/TCWC of their respective basins. There was some change on this subject? ABC paulista (talk) 22:55, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
The way we deal with it is looking on a case by case basis at whats going, after all both the JMA and JTWC issue reasoning's for their forecasts in the WPAC. Sometimes you will find that the JTWC stand up because its landfall, while others because its going through the extratropical transition process. I personally feel that we are going around in circles here and that it would be beneficial to you if you wrote an article on a semi-significant TC, as that would help answer any major questions you have.Jason Rees (talk) 22:09, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
FWIW (and let me preface this with my longstanding belief that we don't need the timelines for season articles as they are essentially forks), I use the official agencies even outside of their jurisdiction (JMA recognizing something in CPAC territory) as well as any other storms that meet Wiki's verification policy, namely that they are cited by a reputable source, such as Gary Padgett or David Roth, or NOAA/Canadian Hurricane Centre/other national weather center.

As you already know that may main concern in PTS articles is the length of the article and becomes "too big", especially for the Refs section, I have decided that we should use sources just based on JMA and JTWC BT. This is just to reduce the number of sources stated in a storm section. I did some editing in the 2014 PTS article a while ago and used JMA BT for sources. Although if a storm has an article for itself, then we could be free with sources and put as many as we want, I guess. This is just to let you know and your thoughts of it.

climate of Houston, TexasHi, I see that you have reverted some edits in which I changed the unit of measurement of rain in Houston from mm to cm. What I don't understand is your edit summary, which says "the record is measured in mm not cm." Only problem is that the actual record is measured in inches or hundredths of an inch, not in metric units at all. If you can please cite specifically to where the official record is in millimeters, that would be much appreciated? Thank you. 2600:1003:B004:C864:0:9:8E97:3201 (talk) 17:00, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
Category 5 atlantic hurricanes editHey Jason, on an edit you made to List_of_Category_5_Atlantic_hurricanes, back in April, I believe you introduced a few uncited references that still exist today (they show up as the red text in the references section). Did this content originally come from another article or something? If I could get a hint, I could figure things out and fix the missing citations. This mistake usually happens when references are abbreviated with a name, defined at the beginning of an article and as a result when later text is copied to another article, the name doesn't point to any actual citation.

It will affect all namespaces. You can see a list of pages that may display incorrectly at Special:LintErrors. Since most of the easy problems have already been solved at the English Wikipedia, I am specifically contacting tech-savvy editors such as yourself with this one-time message, in the hope that you will be able to investigate the remaining high-priority pages during the next month. There are approximately 10,000 articles (and many more non-article pages) with high-priority errors. The most important ones are the articles with misnested tags and table problems. Some of these involve templates, such as infoboxes, or the way the template is used in the article. In some cases, the "error" is a minor, unimportant difference in the visual appearance. In other cases, the results are undesirable. You can see a before-and-after comparison of any article by adding ?action=parsermigration-edit to the end of a link, like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Foss?action=parsermigration-edit (which shows a difference in how {{infobox ship}} is parsed). If you are interested in helping with this project, please see Wikipedia:Linter. There are also some basic instructions (and links to even more information) at https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-ambassadors/2018-April/001836.html You can also leave a note at WT:Linter if you have questions.

Even if I put the sentence in parentheses it still gives the information. In rhetoric, a parenthesis (plural: parentheses; from the Ancient Greek word παρένθεσις parénthesis 'injection, insertion', literally '(a) putting in beside') or parenthetical phrase is an explanatory or qualifying word, clause, or sentence inserted into a passage.

Apparent confusion/conflation between Naval Research Lab and JTWCThe "claim" that JTWC designated and tracked "Q" systems in South Atlantic came from whoever wrote (or last edited) Invest (meteorology) before I joined Wikipedia. After reading South Atlantic tropical cyclone, I found out the truth: it wasn't JTWC, but Naval Research Laboratory-Monterey's Marine Meteorological Division who tracked 90Q systems. Since both JTWC and NRL fall within the command of the U.S. Navy, it appears that the article's author conflated/confused the two. So I fixed the table template, and also fixed the flawed claim on the invest article to avoid any further confusions.

Ex-Tropical Cyclone Liua@Jason Rees: Hi Jason. I just wanted to address a couple of things regarding our disagreement over whether or not Liua was an ex-tropical cyclone in the Australian region. Firstly, the 00 UTC 29 September MSLP chart from the Bureau of Meteorology supports my position. The low-pressure system associated with Tropical Cyclone Liua is displayed at around 13°S 159°E, which is within the Australian region by a margin of 1 degree of longitude. The system is represented by a capital 'L' to denote the existence of a low-pressure system. This fact is significant, because the Bureau of Meteorology denotes systems of tropical cyclone intensity with a separate tropical cyclone symbol, replacing the 'L'. This is exemplified here with both Severe Tropical Storm Bouchra and Cyclonic Storm Gaja (referred to as merely 'tropical cyclone' in both cases). I don't know how much you know about the Bureau of Meteorology, but I am Australian, so I am pretty familiar with most of their products and services, and I can vouch that this is always the case. Additionally, above the 'L' in the 29 September MSLP chart I provided, the text 'Ex-TC Liua' is visible, although the letter 'E' is obscured by the low-pressure system symbol. Another example of this, just to show that it isn't a coincidental occurrence, is with Tropical Cyclone Iris in April 2018. This chart shows Iris as a category 1 cyclone, and the next chart (six hours later) shows that it has weakened to a tropical low, with the label 'Ex-TC Iris'. Note that during the time that the BOM still considers the system a tropical low, the 'Ex-TC ___' label is usually present on MSLP charts accompanying the 'L', rather than just the 'L' by itself like in any normal low-pressure system. As a result, I believe it is clear that my reference to the tropical low form of Liua as 'Ex-Tropical Cyclone Liua' is accurate and in accordance with the BOM's usage. Secondly, Liua was not considered a tropical low between 25 and 26 September by the Bureau of Meteorology. No mention of this was made in the daily Tropical Cyclone Outlook for the Eastern Region on these days (the daily outlooks can be found here). Unfortunately, no archives of these outlooks exist, so you'll have to take my word for it that the system wasn't mentioned (and believe me, I wanted it to be mentioned, because I really wanted to be able to begin the 2018-19 Australian season). Further evidence of the fact that Liua was not a tropical low in the Australian region is that the designation of the system was 01F, not 01U, meaning it was classified by the Fiji Meteorological Service, specifically when at coordinates 10.0°S 160.1°E (so almost in the Australian region, but not quite). The advisory from the FMS that supports this is here. Even if it had been classified as a tropical low while in the Australian region, that would not preclude it being an ex-tropical cyclone later on, as you stated in your edit summary. Thirdly, it's not really useless trivia. If that was the case, then most of what cyclone articles are is useless trivia. This is because damage totals, maximum sustained wind speed, sea surface temperatures beneath the system and things like that aren't really that useful after the event. They're just interesting things to know. The only real non-trivial information in cyclone articles is 'what happened' in a human sense. That is, the actual destruction it caused, or impacts it had, on human communities. It isn't necessary to remove a two-line point about an interesting note regarding Ex-Liua. It doesn't detract from the article; rather, I would contend that it actually adds more good content. I do, however, acknowledge your assertion that it is at present unsourced. I will rectify that issue as best I can. Hopefully all of this makes sense. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!

Ann affected areas@Jason Rees: Hi there again. I'd just like to discuss the affected areas for Cyclone Ann and see what your opinion is. Early in the cyclone's lifetime, there was a significant amount of convection over the southern semicircle of the system's circulation. This extended down to northern New Caledonia (see here). At the time, I checked on the Météo-France New Caledonia website, and it showed sustained winds in the mid to high 30 km/h range in areas on the northern and northwestern coasts, and these winds may have increased later on. Admittedly, I didn't archive the website, so I don't have a surviving source for this. It may also be the case that the increased winds were due in part to a trough that was located nearby around the same time. Regarding Papua New Guinea, as far as I know, there is no way of checking weather observations on the PNG National Weather Service's website. The reason I added the country to the list of affected areas (it should really just be 'Southern Papua New Guinea') was because the cyclone came within about 400 km of the coastline, so it is likely that there was at least a swell or some higher waves along the coast at some point (400 km is not a very long way on a geographical scale in terms of cyclones). Also, in the peak intensity image in the infobox, the outer rainband can be seen actually crossing southeastern Papua New Guinea. As such, there may have been some showers or increased winds in the area. I don't really mind if they're taken away as affected areas. I'll leave it up to you.

Casliber, our 2016 winner, was the highest point-scorer, followed by Enwebb and Lee Vilenski, who are both new to the competition. In fourth place was SounderBruce, a finalist last year.

Even though contestants performed more GARs than they achieved GAs, there was still some frustration at the length of time taken to get articles reviewed. As we start round 5, we say goodbye to the eight competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia, and we hope you will join us again next year. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them (some people have fallen foul of this rule and the points have been removed). If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, a featured process, or anything else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required).

Seasonal summary/Season timeline@Jason Rees: Hi there. How are you doing? I just wanted to see what you thought about the name for the timeline section in the season articles. I know that all of the other articles use "Seasonal summary" as the section heading, but in reality we rarely actually make a summary for the Australian seasons. It is almost always just the timeline. In some other basins, specifically the Atlantic, East Pacific and West Pacific, we do indeed make summaries. For that reason, "Season timeline" is a more logical heading for the Australian articles. If you still want the "Seasonal summary", though, I think it should be amended slightly to "Season summary". The word seasonal has a slightly different meaning. ChocolateTrain (talk) 16:25, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

On behalf of The Wikipedia Library team --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:10, 1 February 2020 (UTC) TD 06F PressureHi Jason. I just wanted to let you know where I got the 1000 hPa pressure value for TD 06F from. The Bureau of Meteorology is officially responsible for issuing high seas forecasts and marine warnings for the region of the northern Coral Sea extending from 142E to 170E, rather than just to 160E like the cyclone region (although, it would probably make sense for the Australian region to actually extend to 170E in the northern Coral Sea and to 80E in the Indian Ocean). The BOM's North Eastern Area High Seas Forecast for 18:00 UTC on 6 February gives the pressure of the low as 1000 hPa, with the system located at 14S 162E. It's strange that this would conflict with the FMS. By the way, where did you find an 18Z advisory from the FMS? I am not completely familiar with where the FMS publishes all of their advisories, and the only one I can find is the Tropical Disturbance Summary for 06Z on 6 February. ChocolateTrain (talk) 03:13, 7 February 2020 (UTC) Cyclone article infobox formattingHi again Jason. Perhaps it is just my computer, but even with the infobox header saying "Aus scale", the intensity category always gets split into two lines when the system is Category 3 or above due to how long "severe tropical cyclone" is. For that reason, I think it would be better to have "Australian scale" rather than "Aus scale", given that the split-line formatting issue exists anyway. ChocolateTrain (talk) 14:06, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
South Pacific activity spike@Jason Rees: Have you seen what the GFS is forecasting for the next three days around the International Date Line in the South Pacific? It is showing no less than four tropical cyclones developing all in a line, one of which is shown to reach hurricane intensity and the other three to get winds of at least 50 knots. It also shows two other short-lived gale-force systems in the mix. So, we could conceivably see six tropical cyclones develop in the same place within the space of a few days. Incredible. If that were to happen, this season would already become the equal-ninth most active season in the last half century, and it's only mid-February. ChocolateTrain (talk) 14:16, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
WikiCup 2020 March newsletterAnd so ends the first round of the competition. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 57 contestants qualifying. We have abolished the groups this year, so to qualify for Round 3 you will need to finish Round 2 among the top thirty-two contestants. Our top scorers in Round 1 were:
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start scoring points again from scratch. In Round 1 there were four featured articles, one featured list and two featured pictures, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. Between them, contestants completed 127 good article reviews, nearly a hundred more than the 43 good articles they claimed for, thus making a substantial dent in the review backlog. Contestants also claimed for 40 featured article / featured list reviews, and most even remembered to mention their WikiCup participation in their reviews (a requirement). Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs!

MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:47, 1 March 2020 (UTC) Esther@Jason Rees: I have no idea what the BOM and the JTWC are doing at the moment regarding Ex–Esther. Firstly, the BOM showed Ex–Esther's pressure as 1001 hPa in their MSLP chart at 12:00 UTC on 29 February, when at the very same time, there was an actual pressure observation at the Derby automatic weather station showing 990.0 hPa. Unless I am missing something, that seems beyond incompetent. Then, at 22:00 UTC on 29 February, the JTWC cancelled their TCFA for Ex–Esther claiming that "Minimum sea level pressure is estimated to be near 998 mbar." Well, clearly that estimate is useless and they need to devise a new technique, because the actual physical observation at the Curtin AFB automatic weather station at that time was 991.4 hPa. They also claimed that "Maximum sustained surface winds are estimated at 25 to 30 knots." Once again, this is a ridiculous estimate. The 10-minute sustained winds were measured at 28 knots at Derby at 22:00 UTC, and had been as high as 30 knots in the previous three-and-a-half hours. These speeds correspond to roughly 31–34 knots one-minute sustained (not 25–30!), which is what the JTWC uses. This should be high enough to reclassify Esther as a TS, considering these wind speeds would have been slowed from the actual maximum winds by the frictional effects of land, and it is extremely rare that an observation station actually records the peak winds in a system. Furthermore, the JTWC indicated sustained winds of 35 knots while the system tracked across the entire Northern Territory and most of the Kimberley, despite not a single observation station showing winds anywhere near that. So, when the Derby weather station actually indicates one-minute winds of 34 knots, they should absolutely be classifying the system as a TS, with winds of at least 35 knots. What also annoys me is neither the BOM nor the JTWC seems to have recognised, or couldn't be bothered to document, the significant redevelopment that Ex–Esther underwent while near the coast. The system developed a curved band of deep convection wrapping most of the way around the system and into the centre, with widespread cloud top temperatures of less than –60°C and -70°C, and less than –80°C in places as well. Additionally, an MSL pressure reading of 988.8 hPa was made at Curtin AFB at 15:00 UTC on 29 February, when the centre was not even over that weather station (so, the actual central pressure at that time was probably 988 hPa, or maybe even 987). I don't know what planet we are on when 988 hPa and massively increasing convection does not correspond to AT LEAST a 35-knot tropical storm. The estimates that the JTWC gave in their TCFA clearly show that they weren't even looking at actual ground observations to inform their decisions, and honestly, I have no idea what the BOM was doing. Sorry about all this. I just needed to rant to someone! ChocolateTrain (talk) 04:08, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

TC Blake was the first system of the 2019–20 Australian region cyclone season@Jason Rees: If you recall, we were wondering a while back whether or not Tropical Cyclone Blake was the 2019–20 Australian region cyclone season's first system. None of us knew of any previous systems, and yet we recognised that Blake had received the identifier 02U, which suggested that there may have been a system before then. We decided to hold off on saying that this season was the latest start on record until we knew that there were no other systems before Blake. Well, I can confirm that Blake was indeed the first system. I have been in contact with a meteorologist at the Bureau of Meteorology several times over the past few months. He has been providing some clarification on various details which we have been unsure about. He confirmed that 02U (Blake) was the first identified tropical low of the season; 01U was mistakenly assigned to the disturbance that became Tropical Cyclone Rita in the South Pacific basin. I will update the lead section of the article to reflect this new information. I just thought it would be good to let you know first. ChocolateTrain (talk) 08:00, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

On behalf of The Wikipedia Library team --15:57, 29 April 2020 (UTC) WikiCup 2020 May newsletterThe second round of the 2020 WikiCup has now finished. It was a high-scoring round and contestants needed 75 points to advance to round 3. There were some very impressive efforts in round 2, with the top ten contestants all scoring more than 500 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 186 good articles achieved in total by contestants, and the 355 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures. Our top scorers in round 2 were:
The rules for featured article reviews have been adjusted; reviews may cover three aspects of the article, content, images and sources, and contestants may receive points for each of these three types of review. Please also remember the requirement to mention the WikiCup when undertaking an FAR for which you intend to claim points. Remember also that DYKs cannot be claimed until they have appeared on the main page. As we enter the third round, any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed now, and anything you forgot to claim in round 2 cannot! Remember too, that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required).

You then seem to have left the season and its sub-articles alone for a couple of days before suddenly coming back on November 3, when you edited Zeta aand introduced more very broad and redundant language within these five edits and used various edit summaries including "river", "dir", "see tlk" and "emerg" (x2). Looking at Zeta's talk pages, I see that you did indeed initiate a conversation, however, it was considered to be a personal attack on Chess and reverted by @Destroyeraa:. The edits on Zeta were also reverted by Destroyeraa as he felt that they were "Unnecessary revisions and told you in the edit summary on the talk page to "Stop attacking ChessEric. Your revisions are even worse tbh. The original wording was fine and this is redundant." {{Destroye also left you a general warning on your talk page and left a general message on ChessEric's talkpage. This message said that "I [have] warned this users of making accusations without evidence. In addition, looking at his edits, most were unnecessary or disruptive. I have given the user a warning, and I hope his disruptive editing stops." You then came on and reintroduced your edits with the edit summaury see expl. on talk pg. You also then proceeded to [reintroduce your attack on ChessEric with the edit summaury This is to destroy, if you want to be engaged in a topic or subject on the talk pg, fine. You are not allowed to edit someone else's edits on a talk pg. and then introduced this sentence with your next edit: I am not certain why destroy is involved here. The editor, if they want to be in a discussion fine, but to infer things that aren't true, no, that is not ok. You also posted the same message on Chess Eric's talk page before Drdpw (talk · contribs) then removed your commentson Zeta's talkpage with the edit summuary This talk page is for discussing improvements to the article, not for venting or for sniping at other editors. It’s removal was justified. You then decided to leave Drdpw (talk · contribs) a message on their talk page in which you alleged that "C. Eric [was incorrectly editing" but provided no evidence. You also told the user that they were "not supposed to edit on a talk page" and that she was welcome to join the discussion but was not correct in what she said].
I also see that you edited Hurricane Eta with the edit summary QST, removed the words or not and added Tropical Storm Matthew (2010) as a see also with the blurb a deadly tropical cyclone that affected similar areas. ChessEric also User:ChessEric disagreed with the addition of Matthew (2010) to the article as "the list was long enough as is" and removed it by undoing your edit but left the rest of your edit intact. You then reverted Eric and initiated a talk page conversation about faith. This conversation involved several users and was eventually closed by @TornadoLGS: after you went off topic and accused Eric of his OR understanding being incorrect, provided no evidence and stated that your edits were precise and correct. I am not going to judge you, however, I hope that @MelanieN: will factor this response into her response to your message on ehr talkpage.Jason Rees (talk) 03:05, 5 November 2020 (UTC)

There were some impressive efforts in the round, with the top eight contestants all scoring more than 400 points. A large number of the points came from the 12 featured articles and the 110 good articles achieved in total by contestants, as well as the 216 good article reviews they performed; the GAN backlog drive and the stay-at-home imperative during the COVID-19 pandemic may have been partially responsible for these impressive figures.

Jason, most of the articles of cyclones that unofficially crossed to other basins doesn't include this unnoficial info on their infobox, just being contained on small, summarized spaces. And most of the basin's articles that have cyclones that unnoficially crossed into them don't include them on statistics, summaries, templates, just on a "other storm" section. So why it should be different on Durian's case? ABC paulista (talk) 23:12, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

Consistency re: wind speedsYou mentioned in this edit about consistency about how to present wind speeds. I think you have a good point about using knots as the base unit and converting that, rather than presenting it already converted. I'm not sure if it's a standard, but what are your thoughts that maybe it should be? It would only take an AWB bot or two to fix every instance when we're talking rounded wind speeds (which is how we convey intensity), but not wind gusts (which are instantaneous wind observations not indicative of a storm's intensity, per se). ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:20, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

And I don't want you to, because there are errors in your revisions of the page All the stuff doesn't need to come from one source, and the addition of the cn tags in userspace has put the page in Category:User pages with reference errors. You say the pressure is "Not Specified" even though it is specified, just in a different source. Also, when IBTRACS gives pressure, you put it into a convert template with InHgs, something that is not done in the season articles or anywhere else.

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 03:04, 21 November 2022 (UTC) ArbCom 2022 Elections voter messageHello!

I'm preparing an article I created, Tropical Storm Hernan (2020), for A-Class (and of course to be an FAC eventually), but I know it's recommended that at least two editors peer-review the article before it's considered for A-Class. I was hoping you could peer review the article when you have the chance before I nominate for A-Class, seeing as you're on of the project's most experienced editors.

Recently, I promoted the Russian annexation of Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia oblasts article to be a “High importance” on the WP of International relations (originally was low). This promotion came from a look at article content combined with view count (337k views in 365 days and 24k views in 30 days). The next day, a different user restored the “Low importance” classification saying,

Your correction to List of California hurricanesThank you so much for that correction. The reporting on this weather event has been downright sloppy with facts, probably because mentioning these would make for a less "exciting" story.

I am sending this alert to all members of the WikiProject Weather and editors who have recently edited in the realm of tornadoes. There is a large and important discussion ongoing, with the goal to completely overhaul and improve the List of F5 and EF5 tornadoes. The previous improvement attempt back in 2022/2023 gained almost no participation. This alert is being sent out so these discussions hopefully gain a reasonably-sized participation, so the F5/EF5 tornado article, one of the most viewed weather-related articles on Wikipedia, can be improved for all readers! If you wish to participate, please visit: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Weather/Possible F5/EF5/IF5 tornadoes.

Editors on the Commons have received communication from the National Weather Service that the Template:PD-NWS, which is often used to upload weather-related images, is incorrect. There will be a discussion starting on the Commons Copyright Noticeboard within the next few days to determine how to manage this issue. Under the current PD-NWS copyright template, images on any NWS webpage was considered to be in the public domain unless it had a direct copyright symbol and/or copyright watermark. One National Weather Service office has confirmed this is not the case. For the next few days, it may be best to not upload any image from an NWS webpage that was not made or taken directly by the National Weather Service themselves. Once the Commons determine how to move forward, editors will recent a new alert. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 23:41, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
PD-NWS Violations Update #1I am providing members of the WikiProject of Weather along with users who frequently edit weather-related articles an update to the discussions regarding the PD-NWS image copyright template. For starters, no "formal" administrative-style rules have occurred. All that means is the template is not formally deprecated and is still in use. However, Rlandmann, an administrator on English Wikipedia, has begun an undertaking of reviewing and assessing all images (~1,400) that use the PD-NWS copyright template. What we know:
Solutions:
For now, you are still welcome to upload images under the PD-NWS template. However, if possible it is recommended using the two templates above. I will send out another update when new information is found or new "rulings" have been made.

On the Commons, an RFC discussion is taking place to figure out how to manage the template. No "formal" administrative-style rules have occurred, so nothing has changed. That is not a surprise as the RFC is still ongoing. What is new?
How to deal with new photos? Given all of this, you might be wondering how the heck you use weather photos while creating articles? Well, here is what you can do!
What about third-party photos? In the case of third-party photos...i.e. ones not taken by the National Weather Service themselves...there is an option which was discussed and confirmed to be valid from an English Wikipedia Administrator.
Update Closing Hopefully all of that information kept you informed on the Commons copyright discussion process and how you can still create the best articles possible! If you have a question about something mentioned above, reply back and I will do my best to answer it! Also, ping me in the process to ensure I see it! Have a good day!
