Again, some objections have been raised, and I am unsure how to respond to them. Any help you can provide in this area would be greatly appreciated.

I stumbled across a storm in May 1958 that the US Weather Bureau describes as a "subtropical depression". It affected Miami with very heavy rainfall. I was wondering, is this a storm that might be worth getting a rainfall page for, at some point? No huge deal. I'm working it into the season article, and was curious if you had stumbled across this. Cheers! --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:29, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

DCAWhat you said at Talk:Subtropics was interesting; when I was referring to the 32.0 °F isotherm, according to 1981–2010 normals it has moved far beyond Dulles, which went from 31.X °F in January for 1971–2000 to 33.2 °F for 1981–2010. What you may not have pointed out is that Reagan National's location on the Potomac may help to suppress summer heat at times. However, I find the following difficult to believe:

Disambiguation link notification for April 9Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Hurricane Agnes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cape Breton (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

This will help other editors make better use of the images, and they will be more informative to readers. If the information is not provided, the images may eventually be proposed for deletion, a situation which is not desirable, and which can easily be avoided. If you have any questions, please see Help:Image page. Thank you. Theo's Little Bot (error?) 08:49, 14 April 2013 (UTC)Hi, thanks for this nice addition. I have tweaked the article a bit and changed the infobox ("infobox journal" is for peer-reviewed academic journals). If I am not mistaken, the article is eligible for the "Did You Know" section on the WP start page and I suggest you nominate it. Let me know if you need help with that (but the procedure is reasonably well described on the DYK pages).

I've been working on migrating the button bars over to the new style, and I ran into a problem. Some of the boxes have cyclones labeled just "depression" (i.e. 1973 and 1979). Looking at their seasons, in the Other storms section, some of them are described as tropical depressions and others are just described as depressions ([2] and [3] for example). When making the new boxes, should they just be switched over to being labeled TDs (even though they weren't numbered by NHC), or should we set up a new parameter that works for "depression" in the new button bars? There's a discussion going on at the project page - feel free to respond there.

The IU-Bloomington Extratropical/Tropical cyclone databaseI cant say ive seen any tracks but the reason i deduced it was NOAA's one was because it says it is and had no reason to doubt that until you posted on the project page tonight. I think if someone could figure out how to install the programme (Maybe using a programme called DOSBox), then we maybe able to find the tracks. BTW this atlas thing contains a lot more than just the MWL articles, as ive seen articles that are the same as the BoM Seasonal summary for RA V and articles that appear to be a more fuller copy of Nadi's TCR than the MWL's.Jason Rees (talk) 23:39, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
Colour of weatherboxesI am not sure what you meant by the last comment you said about the bottomost weather box in the discussion about the colours to be used in weatherboxes.

Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status. If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you.

Join us at the Wikimedia DC WikiSalon!Wikimedia DC invites you to join us for our next WikiSalon, which will be held from 7 to 9 PM on Thursday, September 26 at our K Street office.

One of the members of the group is a Senior undergrad here at Cornell studying meteorology . The other two members are studying Information Science. If you take a look on the Talk Page of CAD, at the bottom you can see the outline of what we were planning. We're eager to see if you have any suggestions!

Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page. IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation. Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information. Changes to SuggestBot's suggestionsWe have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:
The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work.
