115 kt[edit]

God, I completely forgot about that and the issue we had at Nora. Thanks. Chacor 15:56, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I could understand the first revert, however, the second was completely uncalled for. The changes were code cleanup that in no way affected the look of the template. The changes were fixing badly-written code. Care to explain? --MZMcBride 06:00, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It has been mentionned in the Wikiproject Severe Weather talk page but here is a link to the discussion.--JForget 01:02, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

..[edit]

Don't delete the TD 9 information again. Just don't. It needs to be, this is a serious event. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Big texas lump (talkcontribs) 16:53, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hurricane Katrina[edit]

The Hurricane Katrina article received heavy editing today by unregistered users, which I noticed at WikiRage.com. The article may benefit from a good review. According to Wikipedia Page History Statistics, you are one of the top contributors to that page. If you have the time, would you please read over the article and make any necessary changes. Thanks. -- Jreferee (Talk) 01:50, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tornadoes[edit]

Hi. I am really disagreeing with this sentence which starts with "Most tornadoes happen in the U.S. ..." and so it seems the general scope of the sets of articles. Please see Talk:Tornadoes of 2007#"Most tornadoes form in the U.S.". Simply south 16:31, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Owensboro tornado[edit]

The event box lists the Owensboro tornado happening before the Sebree one, but it went through Sebree first. Both events were from the same storm Angry Aspie 00:53, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Category 4 or 5[edit]

Hey, Crazy! Thanks for contributing at the article of Cyclone Sidr. We didn't have any access of the internet over the last few days for the lack of electricity in Bangladesh. Anyway, was that a category 4 or category 5 cyclone? BBC report here is saying about category 5. Please confirm. Regards --Tarif from Bangladesh (talk) 11:52, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Speedies[edit]

You're not cutting and pasting articles, though. You made edits in your userspace, and you can cut and paste what you've created into the article, which is essentially the same thing as creating that article all there, in front of you. Copy/paste moves in the mainspace are discouraged due to the histories being "screwed up" (for lack of a better term), but there is no reason to keep the edit history of what you've created in your userspace, as you've been the only editor.

I can do it if you'd prefer, but the credit would go to me on my contributions, and these are great contributions, for which I'm sure you'd want "credit". Also, anyone can move a page, not just admins. However, normal editors can only move pages to an article name that doesn't already exist. нмŵוτнτ 17:59, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There's just no reason for it, since you've been the only editor. It won't preserve the history, which there's no need to preserve, since you've written it all. We don't need the steps along the way. It's the equivalent of composing the article in an external editor. Do you still want the articles you wrote copied there? нмŵוτнτ 18:04, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't give in and do the copy-paste move. Ask another admin like Coredesat to do it. -- RattleMan (talk) 18:07, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that sounds great. I'm actually just showing you how to do it easier. Now, if you wanted to move the page Gerbil to Gerbilization, for some reason, you could simply use the "move" feature at the top of the page. Or for other moves, you can add it to Wikipedia:Requested moves. See WP:MOVE if you have any further questions, and I hope that you have a great day! нмŵוτнτ 22:35, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Also, in response to Rattleman, this isn't a "copy-paste" move! This isn't even a move, really. It's just creating an article. When you create an article in a sandbox in your userspace, you don't move it. You add the content directly to the article. It was started in userspace. No one has edited it but CrazyC. There's no need to use the move function here, as nothing more will be accomplished. This is simply the equivalent of editing using a outside text editor, and adding it to the article. If he's really worried about adding to the new article directly, then I'll do it for him, but speedy deleting the existing article (to delete the already established history there) is not the way to do it. нмŵוτнτ 22:39, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There was no need to carry out an admin assisted move here. You can and should copy/paste from your userspace as long as you are the sole contributor.--Nilfanion (talk) 00:34, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Nilfanion, for clarifying. нмŵוτнτ 23:45, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is a discussion started by User:Juliancolton at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Meteorology about a proposed/possible new WikiProject called WikiProject Winter storms. Feel free to voice your opinion on the proposal--JForget 01:00, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA nomination of Hurricane Karen (2007)[edit]

is on hold. Please look at the talk page for more information. Miranda 02:14, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And please try to write two seperate paragraphs in the lede. Overview, summary of the storm histry, and impact would be three paragraphs you could put in. Juliancolton (talk) 18:14, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Two paragraphs for the lede are not necessary if the article is short. --♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:54, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Also the impact is nowhere near warranting three paragraphs, it only has enough for one small one. CrazyC83 (talk) 23:58, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well, User:Mitchazenia gave me some writing tips that were from you, hink. It said every hurricane article should have two or more articles. Juliancolton (talk) 17:44, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tropical storm Ingrid[edit]

Hey, as you may know, I put tropical storm Ingrid (2007) up for GAC. Well, with my rewriting of the lede, it passed. I wanted to give you credit because the article is yours, so put this

on your userpage. Juliancolton (talk) (Happy New Year!) 21:50, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Now it is just Jerry and Melissa for the fish storms. I will let you put those up for GAC..if you want. Juliancolton (talk) (Happy New Year!) 14:50, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Iowa[edit]

Nice work keeping the caucus results updated in near-real time tonight. Jonathunder (talk) 02:31, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello - could I get ur help with this...[edit]

tornado event template at 2008 Vancouver tornado. I'm unsure how to deal with the text between the infobox title and the image itself. The text is this: [[Image:|240px|center|]]' - thanks in advance. E_dog95' Hi ' 03:41, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

01W and 2008 PTS[edit]

Tropical Storm 01W was not an official storm; the "first formed" and "strongest storm" parameters in the infobox only use RSMC information. Therefore, there's not currently anything to put in those fields yet. --Coredesat 03:48, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

May Tornado Outbreak[edit]

I've landed at this page from NWS Norman, Oklahoma and apparently just for May 5th, 2007 there were 90 tornadoes confirmed and that does not count the tornadoes on the 4th or 6th. So likely there will be some to be done to find out the 23 missing tornadoes on that date. So the outbreak in total it looks like there were 114 tornadoes at least confirmed--JForget 19:00, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually 116 since the two Oklahoma Panhandle tornadoes including the one that was caught on tape are now rated. Another user apparently found the remaining ratings for May 4 in Kansas as well.--JForget 19:13, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Feb 5 outbreak[edit]

Reports of a killer tornado in Arkansas from WMC-TV, so when SPC adds officially the death report, it will be moved to mainspace.JForget 02:21, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

After the night is over, and we get a death toll, should we try to put it on WP:ITN/C? ---CWY2190TC 04:05, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Someone from the project added it to WP:ITN/C. FYI. ---CWY2190TC 13:02, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
For coordinates, I started by using the coordinates on the city/county pages. I now see that they're on the weather page from which the data is coming. In the Feb 6 section you can see the simple conversions needed: wrap in "coord", add a "name=City, STATE", add decimal points and put a hyphen ahead of the second number (-80 is 80 degrees West, which crosses the USA). -- SEWilco (talk) 16:33, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You are having a hell of a time aren't you with the naming thing. ---CWY2190TC 17:23, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think the name has settled down. I also checked, and the two decimal points of coordinate precision which the SPC uses is enough to identify an area of only a few blocks. That's quite good enough for initial reports of this type of event. -- SEWilco (talk) 18:32, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a one stop shop where you look for confirmed tornadoes or so you look at each WFO's PIS? ---CWY2190TC 17:32, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

EF3[edit]

Ky is reporting EF3 damage in Monroe Co, NW of Tomkinsville. This is a separate tornado from the Allen Co storm Angry Aspie (talk) 23:35, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WTF??????[edit]

Why do you keep removing the maximum wind gusts on list for KY tornadoes?

If you keep removing my work, I start deleting yours Angry Aspie (talk) 15:32, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing the tornadoes[edit]

I think we should try to get this current outbreak article to FA status (or at least GA), but the problem will be sourcing the tornadoes. Most of them will be provided by NWS WFO stories, but some of those links will go dead within a few weeks or months. Some will be sourced with links to a WFOs PNS list. But those go out of date very quickly. Should we try something like we use with the 2007 Pacific typhoon season and use an online citation for every tornado in the PNS? ---CWY2190TC 16:55, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

April 6-8, 2006 Tornado Outbreak GA Sweeps Review: On Hold[edit]

As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria and I'm specifically going over all of the "Meteorology and atmospheric sciences" articles. I have reviewed April 6-8, 2006 Tornado Outbreak and believe the article currently meets the majority of the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. In reviewing the article, I have found there are some issues that may need to be addressed, and I'll leave the article on hold for seven days for them to be fixed. I have left this message on your talk page since you have significantly edited the article (based on using this article history tool). Please consider helping address the several points that I listed on the talk page of the article, which shouldn't take too long to fix with the assistance of multiple editors. I have also left messages on the talk pages for several related WikiProject to spread the workload around some. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 09:56, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just had to defend your edit[edit]

You recently removed some tornadoes from the outbreak table, and I understand that they were found to be false. Another user undid your saying it was unexplained deletion, I undid their edit and explained in my edit summary. Please start using an edit summary, especially if you are removing material. Southern Illinois SKYWARN (talk) 02:46, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I thought I undid this edit, I guess when you are reverting and encounter an edit conflict it doesn't inform you. Southern Illinois SKYWARN (talk) 02:48, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I was just saying be sure to use an edit summary when you remove those. I understood why you reomved them, but others may not. Southern Illinois SKYWARN (talk) 15:11, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
