What's the difference between extreme and severe?[edit]

Surprised this is not already covered. My guess: no one knows? --Saledomo (talk) 01:46, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

edit summary[edit]

I just changed a link from the EBS page to the EAS page. The EBS was replaced by the EAS before WEA was around.Billster156234781 (talk) 16:26, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Presidential Alert[edit]

   I find it very disturbing that the  " presidential alert " that showed up on my cell phone happened during the current ongoing Trump controversies and I have talked to numerous others who feel the same way..I`m surprised there is no mention of it in this article.  2600:1702:2340:9470:5C2D:B73:E11C:B4A3 (talk) 23:01, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The name "Commercial Mobile Alert System" is still in use[edit]

The name "Commercial Mobile Alert System" is still in use.

I received a test message a few days ago, saying it was from the "Commercial Mobile Alert System". The article presently describes this system as "formerly known as" by that name, citing Ref 1. I went to Ref. 1 which does not mention the name "Commercial Mobile Alert System". That name is not provided in the .pdf version or in the linked background page.

I don't know the best way to edit the article. Maybe another document describes the change in name, in which case that should be added as a reference. Oaklandguy (talk) 20:01, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
