Create

Can you create page Tropical Storm Jangmi (2014)? 113.167.224.86 (talk) 14:04, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Stop

Please stop removing the tropical low that is currently active per the Western Australian regional warnings and the TWO's of the last few days. It has already been added to the article summuary since at the present time there is no need for a full section.Jason Rees (talk) 20:35, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

I helped you!

Hey, I created page Timeline of the 2015 Pacific typhoon season and i helping you anytime, anywhere write in my talk. '''Joseph Carlo8888''' (talk) 07:46, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Source

Do you know the source for Tropical Storm Jangmi (in Meteorological history)? And can you take the content and source for TS Jangmi? I hope this article is a good article.113.167.224.86 (talk) 11:38, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Bansi Category 5? Says whom?

JTWC hasn't released their next warning and I don't know of any data file similar to the ones I mentioned with Typhoon Hagupit, so where did you get the Category 5 designation from?--Jasper Deng (talk) 01:39, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Nope, not me. In your talk page. --Typhoon2013 02:27, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Some kind that Wunderground said that Bansi was originally Category 2

It was unfortanetely category 2 cyclone somehow on 14:30UTC. It was maybe a bug. That bug happened for some reason, that i goed to www.wunderground.com/hurricane/, but Bansi was an Category 2. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Minecraft2700 (talkcontribs) 20:01, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

The tropical lows which show TL in front is actually an Invest

i know that ... but it was just random — Preceding unsigned comment added by Minecraft2700 (talkcontribs) 20:05, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Tropical Lows

Before you get confused 05U was the tropical low that developed over land. We now have a TCR for it and can confirm that it was numbered 05U.Jason Rees (talk) 23:36, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

FYI

Next time please check RSMC Nadi's or the JTWC's website before undoing any edits, we were all expecting the name Nute to be used but the name Niko ended up being used.Jason Rees (talk) 15:20, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Australian region track map

I think it's all up to date now.--Keith Edkins ( Talk ) 11:18, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

Retired names

Until we have a source that says a name was actually retired, we can not consider a name retired as it could have been removed for other reasons such as with Nute earlier this week.Jason Rees (talk) 21:17, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

Its OLA

Before you go RVing again: RSMC Nadi has changed the naming lists, so that the name Ola is used instead of Odile.Jason Rees (talk) 00:18, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

@Jason Rees: Yeah I know. I edited that. But thanks. Typhoon2013 02:00, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

First Warning on your fake scale

So, those users Jasper Deng, RHworth and Floquenbeam explained that your scales are fake, so did you in WP:FAKEARTICLE. so this time, i can not use your fake scales caused me to blocked anywhere. Instalok 8:18, 12 February 2015 (PST)

Reverted edit on 2015 typhoon season

The JTWC actually placed Higos' peak intensity at 105 kts, not at 115 kts. The intensity on the one-minute scale shall not be revised, unless the JTWC releases their Final Best Track for 2015 by April of next year. The intensity of Higos at 115 kts was just the initialization of the HWRF model at its peak. However, the peak occurred NOT on any synoptic time nor officially released by the JTWC. So by that, the JTWC put its intensity only at 105 kts.

Xtyphooncyclonex (talk) 05:49, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

2015 typhoon season

It is among the strongest (HIGOS) in February, and it is historic whether surpassed by typhoons or not. Officially it is the strongest Feb typhoon JMA, which is the main data source for the basin. Now would you mind if you stop reverting my edits? Thank you. Xtyphooncyclonex (talk) 10:21, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

@Xtyphooncyclonex: You need to stop edit warring and not shout. In this particular case, I personally wouldn't put a whole paragraph on one storm, particularly since it didn't hit land.--Jasper Deng (talk) 9:24 am, Yesterday (UTC−8)

Tropical lows

We need to be monitoring/writing about all tropical lows monitored by BoM, regardless of if they are minor or not. If they are very minor then write a blurb using the TWO's, and attach it to OS.Jason Rees (talk) 10:49, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Formation date of TC Marcia

I am not sure why you think TC Marcia formed on 16 February. Please check this Bureau of Meteorology link which allows you to dial back up to six days. You will notice the first frame where TC Marcia appears is 12:00 UTC (22:00 AEST) on February 18, 2015. In fact, it formed at around 19:30-20:00 AEST, which is two hours earlier, although there are now only news articles to support that. I am a resident of Queensland and I watched these events unfold on the BOM as well as the news. Please do not use appeals to authority ("according to some admins, you are wrong") unless you can substantiate with reliable sources. At the moment, I have two sources and you have none, your appeal to authority notwithstanding. sabine antelope 06:29, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi ... i have a question ...

can you tell me the difference between Zone of Disturbed Weather and Tropical Disturbance ... Thanks you Final-Fantasy-HH (talk) 17:49, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

@Final-Fantasy-HH:. The difference is that the ZODW category is more weaker than a tropical disturbance. The ZODW category is approximately 30km/h (15 mph) while the TDi is about 45km/h (30 mph). But it depends on the MFR agency. Also the ZODW category is only recognized in the South-West Indian ocean basin. --Typhoon2013 02:44, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

I just noticed that at User:Typhoon2013/TC Sanbox1, you spelled sandbox in the title wrong (you forgot the "d"). I just felt the need to point that out. Regards... Dustin (talk) 23:38, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

You didn't need to create another page! All you needed to do was use the move button at the top of the page (if you have a star at the top of your page, click on the "more" button next to that then click on "Move" then enter the new title. Dustin (talk) 23:57, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
@Dustin V. S.: Thanks for warning me about it. Also thanks for teaching me of how to move articles as well. I'll try to use it in future articles. :) --Typhoon2013 00:02, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Vincente

The name Vincente was not retired due to the impact of 2012s system. As a result it is wrong to be including the retirement guff in Vincentes article.Jason Rees (talk) 10:08, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

RE:Thank you and watch out!

OK, copied. An advice: If you want to upload images from EOSDIS, please add a date and time (for example: Rafael Apr 03 2015 0000Z). This website (LANCE RAPID RESPONSE MODIS IMAGES) may help, when you try to upload TC images to Commons with the time specified. Check this for more information that shows how important is add time to your images.

PD: I'll absent for a long time because of my college studies, so I won't upload images for a time (short or long). -- Byralaal - (talk!) 04:28, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Date and time to EOSDIS-NASA images

Well, I'm bad to explain but.. After you saved the image of a TC from EOSDIS, you always name the image, but you don't add the time. You can find the time at the website given before. The website has a lot of images of the world that are taken from MODIS Satellite, and the upper part of every image has a date... So, you should find the image that matchs with the downloaded in EOSDIS, and see the time of that one. For example, let's see an image of the Philippines (sorry if the name is written in Spanish, I forgot to name it in English.)

So, how did I do this?? Find it out:

I got Cheeseburger for you!

Hey, i got one cheeseburger for you! just eat it. Thanks.. Nino Marakot (talk) 23:33, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

2015 PTS

I do not see why you are removing Jangmi and TD's from the seasonal summary, when the summary should contain a sentence or two on each sentence. Also Jangmi was a tropical depression in 2015 which made landfall on Malaysia and not a remnant low.Jason Rees (talk) 20:59, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Unfortuantly as of the 00z JMA WWJP25 Advisory, Maysak is still considered to be a tropical depression by the JMA. As a result we have to call it still active, so what i suggest you do is write on the talk page of any users who RV you and tell them that the JMA is still tracking the system as a tropical depression and point them to the url of the JMA WWJP25 advisories.Jason Rees (talk) 08:34, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

Nino Marakot and Instalok

Hello. A reminder that if Nino Marakot = Instalok, then he must be blocked as a sockpuppet. Therefore it does not make sense to post things like User talk:Nino Marakot#Promise?. Blocks apply per-person and not per-account. Either he's not a sockpuppet and can edit legitimately, or is illegitimately editing in violation of the block on the original Instalok account.--Jasper Deng (talk) 02:36, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

@Jasper Deng: Oh. It might be confusing to you that's why. This: User talk:Nino Marakot#Promise? is just a reminder and that was weeks ago. I did trust on him and gave him a chance to calm things down first but no, I regret it myself and wanted to block him again. Typhoon2013 03:56, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
I don't think you understand, based on User talk:Nino Marakot#Calm down and hints to protect you. It's not a matter of whether he is going to be blocked "again" or not, because the original block is still in effect.--Jasper Deng (talk) 04:04, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Retired names

Please remember that the name Vincente has not been retired just substituted.Jason Rees (talk) 01:06, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Please provide a source for your accusation that the name Karding was retired because of the 1994 system.Jason Rees (talk) 15:18, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
When i get to a computer next, I will be undoing your undue since the name Isis was removed from the lists and not retired.Jason Rees (talk) 07:10, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Retired names

FYI I am currently trying to go through the retired storm articles and get them up to scratch. As a part of this i shortened Juan (Megis) dates on the PAGASA list to the dates that it was in the PAR rather than overall as i do not see why it should be overal when we are only talking about typhoons that hit the Philippines. It would also be useful if you could provide sources for your damage total changes.Jason Rees (talk) 18:39, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

You can help by all means but we need to keep the dates etc sourced and just to when in PAR, which is why i do not want you just copying from the article.Jason Rees (talk) 19:35, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

Images

Thanks for the info, I checked the website earlier, and did not see the better quality image; I use NASA's Worldview when there isn't a better image. I've been relatively inactive on Wikipedia, so this was the first storm image upload in quite sometime; I'm out of practice :P — Iune(talk) 04:50, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

General bits and bobs

Hi, First things first PAGASAs formal adoption of the STY Category applies to historical tropical cyclones as well as ones from this date forward which is why I rvd your rv. Its like the SSHWS it was only invented in the 1960s but has been applied to systems from 1851 onwards. Also on the SPAC overall page, we have no evidence to say that there were 16 systems bar an assumption that Nadi would use them all in order.Jason Rees (talk) 10:46, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

See also

Please try to keep "see also" links limited to those which have more than a trivial connection to the topic at hand. – Juliancolton | Talk 04:36, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

@Juliancolton: Ok. But FYI, I edited a see also section on one of the storm articles and there were lots of articles linked to it. I want to keep them limited so I reduced them to 2. However Cyclonebiskit reverted me. -- Typhoon2013 05:10, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
Well, I'd have to look, but the number of links doesn't matter as much as does their usefulness. You can have a dozen relevant and high-quality see also bullets, or two that are completely unrelated. Most of the time, I try to link to articles that might increase understanding of the subject I'm writing about. – Juliancolton | Talk 05:17, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
Oh ok. Thanks for the information. I'll try to balance to a necessary number of links in the see also section in a storm article. Thanks and have a good day. :) -- Typhoon2013 05:20, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

June

Since it was in the basin for less than 48 hours it doesnt need a full section. As a result it can go into other systems for now. At the present time until i can get more info on it publically we have to treat it as a tropical low in the Aus region since it was declared a depression at precisely 160E and we have evidence to back us up on that. Colin was never considered to be a tropical low within the region just tropical disturbance which is not enough to count it as a tropical low though i may have no objection to a line or two noting its existance in other systems if it is worded correctly.Jason Rees (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 02:38, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Not to be mean/rude or anything of that sort, but could you please soften your edit summaries? Thanks. Dustin (talk) 15:41, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

Hello! I am working on the russian version "Burnside High School" article, which currently has short history section in wikipedia. I am writing you to ask - is there a possibility for you to visit a National Library at Welligton and obtain an electronic copy of book "Choosing the right path : Burnside High School 1960-2010 / Paul O'Connor" (http://natlib.govt.nz/records/21643829), and put some information into the article? Also I can buy a hard copy of that book. Could you give me an advice, if it's possible? I'll be happy to get any version and any part of that book. Thank you for your time, --Voyagerim (talk) 13:25, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

Where did you find this image? You list it as "own work", but I don't think that can be valid. Dustin (talk) 15:57, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

@Dustin V. S.: I put it as own work because I cropped and fixed the image. I know that I should've not put that, ant it's because I was still new in making images that time. That image, I found it on Youtube if you are wondering. -- Typhoon2013 03:40, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
Where though? Dustin (talk) 05:51, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1RtmulMO04 . -- Typhoon2013 05:52, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

With this revision, you changed the image, but why is the image that was originally being used not as good in your opinion? I thought it was better at illustrating the small size of Carlos as mentioned in the first paragraph of the Hurricane Carlos (2015) article. This isn't the biggest issue in the world or anything, but I would like to know. Dustin (talk) 05:43, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

@Dustin V. S.: I don't know if it is but the image is not like 'normal' tropical cyclone images. What I mean, for example, why is Carlos' image really blue within the oceans? Is this from NASA? Also the cyclone, Carlos in the image, is not really at the center. Just saying that I really like tropical cyclone images so I pick the image which is good, high-quality or at peak strength in the infobox. This is the same problem with Blanca's image as well, but Blanca is fine now. Thanks. -- Typhoon2013 04:59, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
Both images are from NASA. Maybe it's just me, but I don't think one looks really bluer than the other even though the original image shows Carlos more off to the side. Dustin (talk) 06:01, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
If you are looking where I got this image, I think you haven`t seen the reference below it:
  • [1]
  • [2] - The last one could answer your question...

And about its peak intensity you should read the main article of the cyclone. -- Byralaal - (talk!) 16:02, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

RE: Ummm... confirmed?? where?? link??.. although it doesn't really matter because is the same cyclone and... do whatever you want... -- Byralaal - (talk!) 05:14, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
@Byralaal: If you want to see the link, it's in this topic where we just left our messages on today. However the images doesn't have to be the same; the one in Carlos' article and the season article can be different. -- Typhoon2013 05:16, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
RE:Images of a cyclone can be different in the main and the season article... why?? Do you have criteria?? why don't we use the same image in both articles if it's at peak intensity? So, could we use, for example, the image of Haiyan as a STS in the season article and over the PH in the main? My criteria is only if the image is at or near peak intensity. -- Byralaal - (talk!) 05:30, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
@Byralaal: Typhoon Haiyan is more different because it's the recent and 'popular' storm. As I said a while ago, it doesn't have to be different. However I should say that in my opinion, it should be realistic in its article. At least the good thing you are the 'king of tropical cyclone images' and I thank you for that. :) -- Typhoon2013 05:33, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
RE: Understood, thanks, and... I'm not the "king", only a student; who really is or are... three users which I can't remember their names, because thay can edit, crop or get images from sources that are unreachable for me. I am only a "complement" and you are too. -- Byralaal - (talk!) 05:46, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
@Byralaal: Ok then. So thanks for the conversation and have a nice day. -- Typhoon2013 05:48, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Re: Damages

It's improper to arbitrarily place "minor, moderate, major" as their damage when it's already known to be significant for both. From an encyclopedic standpoint, it's simply wrong...and from a humanities standpoint it's improper. Stick with "unknown" when there are reports of damage, regardless of the scale, until a monetary value is given. It avoids providing misleading information that way. "Minor, moderate, and major" should only be reserved for months after the storm when we know the overall scale of damage but lack a monetary value. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 21:43, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Your grammar

Your grammar needs to be improved. Even though you are not a native English speaker, you should've learned by now that I should not be fixing all your grammar mistakes. Your version implied PAGASA was making the country drier and not ENSO. I have been making many of these corrections to your additions and it's about time that you stopped creating additional work for others.--Jasper Deng (talk) 08:49, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Sorry @Jasper Deng:. I don't know what's happening. But no offense, at least I'm not as bad as Nino Marakot. At least one of my reasons of coming here to NZ is because of English. -- Typhoon2013 09:39, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
I'm giving you some leeway here but you really do need to look up the proper rules of English grammar and not have me fix it, as I did here.--Jasper Deng (talk) 08:43, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
@Jasper Deng: Well for that, I started with Peculiarly because most agencies was expecting that Chan-hom will become a cat2 TY but it peculiarly weakened. BTW and no offence, my English is not as worse as Nino Marakot, right? -- Typhoon2013 08:48, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
It's not as bad, but just like with him, I'm going to ask you only a finite number of times to make an effort to get your grammar correct. Yes, the JTWC said the weakening was unexpected but meteorologically there was nothing unusual about it. Also, you cannot say "as worse as". You want to say "is not as bad as Nino Marakot's". In your first sentence, your verb conjugation is again wrong - "most agencies were expecting that Chan-hom would become a cat 2...".--Jasper Deng (talk) 08:58, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

Please do ask me how to phrase sentences if you are not sure. You cannot start a sentence with "Few hours later..." - you have to say "A few hours later". Since I was unsure of what you were trying to convey in Tropical Storm Linfa (2015), I removed the sentence beginning with that.--Jasper Deng (talk) 17:41, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

I hate to keep dogging you over it but I had already told you what is wrong with "more stronger". Please do read my edit summaries such as here. They can help you avoid these mistakes in the future.--Jasper Deng (talk) 22:10, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
I'm watching your progress at User:Typhoon2013/TC Sandbox 3 and I'm not impressed:
  1. You cannot say "embedded to". It should be "embedded within".
  2. "Firstly" cannot be used like that. Use "first" or "initially".
  3. "Late June" is not a specific date, so use "in late June" instead of "on late June".
  4. "in a couple of days" cannot be used to describe the past. Use "for a couple of days".
  5. The "rapidly" in the sentence about the JMA upgrade has no place there.
  6. "naming it as" - the "as" has no place there, in my opinion.
  7. The last sentence of this paragraph makes little sense. The part of it starting with "caused" lacks a verb subject. I would advise simply saying "The storm showed signs of further intensification, so the JTWC upgraded the depression to a tropical storm."
You would do well to read dangling modifier. Please please do ask me if you have any questions, but if you want to become an autoreviewer or administrator you will have to make a substantial effort to rectify this.--Jasper Deng (talk) 04:44, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
@Jasper Deng: Just asking, are you a teacher? Also possibly I am having these issues lately because I started to edit like admins especially when I made the Linfa article. Before, when I put some info in the Meteorological hirstory, it doesn't have much detail and is just a few,. But admins like you, Jason Rees, Meow etc. put more detail like: "a central dense overcast formed..." or "with excellent otflow and deep convection occurred...", so I started copying you guys and I wanted to become a user who edits like that. But I will try harder in my grammar. Thanks for the above. -- Typhoon2013 06:33, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
I am not and will not claim to be a teacher. But it is an expectation I have, in accordance with WP:MOS, that you edit using correct grammar. Also, Meow, Jason, and I are not admins. If you do not know how to use that vocabulary correctly, then please do not use those words. The grammar can be tricky with them. If you want to edit like us, then yes, please work on your grammar. My goal is for your writing to not contain so many grammar errors that others have to fix.--Jasper Deng (talk) 06:42, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

CPHC and JTWC graphics

Both of those graphics (track maps) are currently valid. However, the CPHC (civilian) graphic is more suitable since it is by the RSMC. The JMA graphics aren't as detailed which I think is why they are not used in the western Pacific, but since the CPHC's graphic is decent and currently valid, I think it is our best option. Dustin (talk) 00:11, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

@Dustin V. S.: So you are saying we should use the CPHC's warning graphic even thought it's in the WPac basin because the storm formed in the CPac and is a CPac storm name? Also I can't remember but we used the JTWC one for 2013's Pewa because the CPHC stopped warning on it because it is on a different basin, but I'll check. -- Typhoon2013 00:15, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
No, it is not technically in the western Pacific yet (it is, but there has not been an advisory saying it is west of the International Date Line, I mean), although there is a 100% chance that, technically or otherwise, it will be at 0300 UTC. It is in transition, and that is why both the Pacific hurricane and the Pacific typhoon seasons' articles have current storm infoboxes. For the purposes of Wikipedia, the CPHC graphic is useful (unlike JMA graphics) and official. Starting at 0300 UTC, for the interests of the United States, the JTWC will take over, and then we can switch to the JTWC track map. Dustin (talk) 00:18, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
@Dustin V. S.: Oh I get you now. I changed it to the JTWC graphics a while ago because I thought Halola had already entered the basin at that time. -- Typhoon2013 00:21, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

"Late"

It is not necessary. Yes, we generally will use UTC unless explicitly stated otherwise, but while it may be late for the British people living on the other side of the planet, it is not late for a person at the International Date Line. I don't want to cause trouble or anything, but where UTC significantly conflicts with local time, we should at least make some sort of effort to minimize the use of general times of the day such as "early" and "late". Dustin (talk) 03:04, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

@Dustin V. S.: I had checked with some users about this and said that we do use UTC time for all articles in wiki. Someone had already rv you in the 2015 PTS article. -- Typhoon2013 05:26, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
Not all articles in Wikipedia use UTC. Just some articles in the scope of WikiProject Tropical cyclones do. In any case, I am currently discussing the issue with the other user... Dustin (talk) 05:54, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
Let's just make other users here decide. You should've left the message you are discussing (to the other user) to an article talk page where people can see it. -- Typhoon2013 06:15, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Especially without a source, it is not allowable to attribute the currently active systems to ENSO. The Madden–Julian oscillation is also important. It is stressed quite repeatedly by meteorologists that you cannot attribute a single weather event to ENSO. The MJO was in fact the primary trigger for the burst of storms. If it were ENSO, it would not explain the period of quiet in the basin that had preceded this.--Jasper Deng (talk) 03:19, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

So you are saying that I need to provide a source for that sentence I edited before about the El Niño? Also I put that sentence because it has been similarly stated in the 1982 season article. -- Typhoon2013 05:29, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
The difference was that a.the 1982 article's claim has a source, b.it is a claim for the season's activity as a whole, not for just a particular burst of storms, c.the current El Nino is arguably a strong one, not moderate, so we should not make any claims about its strength without sources explicitly stating it, and then only at the peak of the El Nino.--Jasper Deng (talk) 06:27, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Inclusion of August

Why did you add August? It isn't even halfway through July yet, so adding August now seems a bit premature. Dustin (talk) 18:55, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

"More better"

In edit summaries and other places, I have seen you say "more better". You might not be a native English speaker, but just since it has been happening so much, I thought I would point out that instead of saying "more better", you should simply say "more". I'm just trying to help you out. Regards, Dustin (talk) 20:49, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

@Dustin V. S.: Yeah Jasper has been leaving me messages about English grammar lately, as shown few messages above this one. I am Filipino that's why but I'm living in New Zealand at the moment so I could practice my English. -- Typhoon2013 22:18, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for the response. I don't understand why you would have to go to another country; I would expect that you would learn a different dialect in New Zealand (New Zealand English, which mostly the same as British English) than in the Philippines (Philippine English, which is mostly the same as American English). That's odd. I guess I'm too off-topic now. Sorry to bug you. I just wanted to help. Thanks. Dustin (talk) 22:27, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
@Dustin V. S.: That's ok and I know it's going too off topic now. English is one of the reasons of coming to NZ and when I mean English, as in how we speak and other stuff about it. In Philippine schools, two of the subjects are English and Filipino, that's why English is a bit confusing. To add, I came here to NZ just for a better future as well and it's beautiful. I hope this message ends now since I said before, it is off-topic already. Have a nice day. -- Typhoon2013 22:34, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

About category 5 in South China Sea

... Can you tell me ?... how many category 5 typhoon in South China Sea ? Final-Fantasy-HH (talk) 05:53, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

@Final-Fantasy-HH: Ummm...could you please explain more or reword your question because I don't understand. Do you mean how many typhoons have reached Category 5 super typhoon intensity in the South China Sea? -- Typhoon2013 07:10, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

... Sorry, ... yes, how many typhoon reached category 5 ST in South CN Sea ( examples : typhoon Rammasun 2014 ) ? Final-Fantasy-HH (talk) 10:01, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

@Final-Fantasy-HH: I think Rammasun was an only cat5 storm that reached that intensity in the South China Sea. -- Typhoon2013 17:04, 25 July 2015 (UTC).

I don't think so, because typhoon Pamela appeared in 1954 also reached category 5 STY in South CN Sea, can you check it ? Final-Fantasy-HH (talk) 06:08, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

@Final-Fantasy-HH: Correct. According in Wikipedia commons and all 1954 typhoon track files, Pamela did reached cat5 strength in the S. China Sea. -- Typhoon2013 06:49, 26 July 2015 (UTC).

2015 Atlantic hurricane season

You added August to the timeline table... Maybe once the next storm forms, but at the current time, it does not seem too helpful. I don't mean to be too picky, but maybe think about it? Dustin (talk) 01:44, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

@Dustin V. S.: Ok. But the other season articles are already showing August, or is it because it's possible that Claudette is the final storm of the season. I will remove September in the Nio timeline if you want to. -- Typhoon2013 01:48, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
I'd probably remove September from NIO since it isn't even August yet. The reason the Pacific hurricane season has August is because it is necessary since the last storm's name wouldn't completely show otherwise. You don't have to do so, but I would have waited for the first storm just to keep as much empty space out as possible. Dustin (talk) 02:04, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

“the other image is fine in its article”

You should not use this logic for all typhoons. Why Nangka can use is that it has two pictures during peak intensity. However, Halola only had a proper looking on July 23. What you did is only confusing readers. If you keep doing this, I will undo all and report. -- Meow 04:33, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

@Meow: Sorry. It's just me and I need to control of myself better. Also I saw your edit comment when you rv me saying: "...the July 24 is not even at peak intensity", I did not put that image, it was anon user. Originally from me, the image was suppose to be the one on July 21 and I knew it was not at peak intensity so I just left it there but no one rv me (except for that anon user who changed the image to the July 24 one) and I thought you guys agreed with that. But I will be careful next time. -- Typhoon2013 08:14, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

"Who put this in?" you ask. I assume you are referring to the parts which read "The next name to be used is..."? If so, then the answer is Trainbuzz. What is the issue Jason Rees has with including the next storm name in line? Dustin (talk) 03:32, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

@Dustin V. S.: Before, I added the same line as Trainbuzz did in the same two sections (the International names and the Philippines section). However Jason did not agree with me because he said something like 'please don't add this because the WPac is a never-ending (or an ongoing) season'. Well...it is an ongoing season but the question is for him is that how is the 'ongoing season' related to this? So that confused me a lot and felt sad that those 2 sections do not have the same sentence like the other sections in that page. -- Typhoon2013 03:37, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
Really? I tried to find the change by Jason Rees, but I can't seem to find. I do think I saw Jason Rees remove the information somewhere at some point, though. Dustin (talk) 03:52, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
@Dustin V. S.: Yes I am sure. The first time he did this was ages ago like last year. Then I rv him and he rv me again the second time few months after. Otherwise you could leave him a message or ping him (@Jason Rees:), which I just did right now. -- Typhoon2013 06:26, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

Temotu Province

While i appreciate that Temotu Province is a part of the Solomon Islands it is better to be precise in this case because Temotu Province is located away from the main chain of the Solomon Islands and is the only province under the gun at the moment. Also please avoid adding in island Nations until there is some impact or we can prove that they are affected.Jason Rees (talk) 16:21, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Re: SATC track map

Hey there. I don't think it's necessary to have that map. First, most of the storms are concentrated in a very small area southeast of Brazil. Second, as some people have mentioned, there are only a handful of "official" storms. I use the word in quotations as the region still isn't recognized by the WMO as an official tropical cyclone basin. Until/unless we start to see some longer tracked storms or storms developing in a different area, I don't think there should be a track map, although perhaps in the future if storms become more common in the basin.

That's just my opinion though. I'm glad you're passionate enough to ask others about what you think. There is nothing worse than believing that others aren't taking you seriously, and your ideas are wasted time. I fully believe that everyone has plenty to provide to this wonderful project, and although sometimes users may disagree, things work great when we speak out about our ideas and are welcomed. I'm glad you're a member of the WPTC, and I hope you always feel welcomed and appreciated. I know I appreciate your enthusiasm around here :) ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:39, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Article ratings

Hey there! I wasn't sure if you knew about the WPTC standards for article ratings. C class usually means that everything is sourced, and storms have a semblance of a met history and some impact. Start class is more relaxed, just that every storm has a section. For B-class, it has to be borderline GA, meaning no typos and every section is reasonably complete. Some of the Pacific typhoon articles that you reassessed really shouldn't be higher than start class due to major unsourced sections and/or incomplete sections. Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 13:24, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

@Hurricanehink mobile: @Hurricanehink: Ok. For me about the 2014 PTS article, it looks fine but I think I was too much on the rating, but is C ok? Well the 2011 PTS article rating is C whilst both the 2002 and 03 seasons are at GA and FA ratings. Also my goal for the 2015 PTS article is to have a rating higher than a Start and that's why lately I'm trying to add more info and sources to the other storms there (have finished Chan-hom, Nangka and Halola lately). PS: Seen your other message at bottom (thanks BTW) and If I am going to reply to you with a ping, do I ping Hurricanehink or Hurricanehink mobile? -- Typhoon2013 10:40, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
Regarding 2014, it's in good shape, but I don't want people thinking it's closer to GA status than it is. Majority of sections don't have an impact paragraph. The article is good covering meteorological histories, but it's lacking on details on what the storms did, which is arguably more important. By contrast, 2002 and 2003 are done. They have impact paragraphs and everything is sourced. Thanks for adding info though to the recent storms, but you added too much storm history. For Halola and Nangka, there's no need for two meteorological paragraphs each when there is already an article. It's more useful having info on the effects, like the deaths, damage, etc. Does that make sense? And you can ping either account or just reply here, I have your page on my Watchlist.

I know your edits are always made in good faith, but I can't overlook blatant plagiarism. After reading through an article by The Weather Channel (which owns WUndergound), I noticed a distinct similarity in the writing for the brief bit of impact info in the Mariana Islands. The text appears to have been added by you. The given source is basically a variant of the TWC version but supplied through WUnderground. Although you properly cited it, a good portion of the content was directly copy/pasted from the article which is a violation of Wiki policy (and writing in general). I have removed the content accordingly. Always make sure to summarize content in your own words to avoid plagiarism. If you can't do so, quote the desired pieces you want to add into the article so it's known that the material is taken directly from the cited source.

PTS Naming

I am trying to avoid so much crap being placed on the naming sections of each article, especially when some of it is redundant to other bits and not citeable.

SPAC Names

Please be careful when checking names, the names Mick, Oli and Tomas were retired after their last usages, while Moses, Opeti and Troy were promoted to the main list. It is also worth noting that the name Ola was used earlier this year in the SPAC instead of Opeti as the TCOP claims. I am also not a fan off adding retirement sections to articles and prefer it to just be a line in the article.Jason Rees (talk) 09:29, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

@Jason Rees: Then is there something wrong with the updated SPac name list? I was confused when they put Opeti instead of Ola. -- Typhoon2013 09:32, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
Have a look at page 21 of the 2010 French Version of the TCOP, you should see the name Troy where Tomas is etc. If you also have a look at page 26 of the 2014 TCOP, You will find that the names Tomas etc are listed as retired. I think i am going to send an email to the WMO Press Office and see if they can correct the mistakes on the WMO's list of names.Jason Rees (talk) 10:02, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

Goni North Korea

Meant to hit a different button to leave an edit summary, but hit rollback by mistake. Anyways, that particular news source mis-attributed the flooding to Goni. It was caused by a separate system that preceded Goni, as evidenced by numerous other news sources, but news only broke as Goni was close to the Korean Peninsula. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 10:43, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

@Cyclonebiskit: I really hate the news lately worldwide and I either believe it or not. So you are saying that the 40 deaths was caused by another storm? Or maybe both storms? -- Typhoon2013 10:48, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
It's confusing, yeah. It was caused by a completely separate system the weekend prior to Goni. News of the flooding broke on Wednesday August 26, and indicated that the flood event took place that past Saturday (August 22). Goni was still near the Philippines on August 22 so there's no way it could have played a role in the floods. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 10:50, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
@Cyclonebiskit: Tbh when it gets to TCs, impacts and intensities, you are so smart and thanks for a reference. However what's now confusing (maybe just me) is that when I looked at an August animation from Digital Typhoon, there were no systems I could see affecting Korea during the 22nd. -- Typhoon2013 10:58, 24 September 2015 (UTC)
You pick up on things after working on Wiki for over 8 years I certainly still make mistakes though. That's why a community project like this is so awesome, even if you make a mistake someone will be there to help out~ It's hard to make out on the lower resolution images from Digital Typhoon, but the affected area was Rason in the northeastern-most part of North Korea (near the Russian border). I see a burst of convection over the region around 03:00 UTC on August 22, which may have been the cause of the floods. This matches up pretty well with the local report of the floods taking place in the morning (North Korea is 8.5 hours ahead of UTC). Overall system appears to be a stalled out non-tropical low over Northeast China. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 11:19, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

Your rewording and grammar

This edit, while undoubtedly in good faith, was a step back: the new wording contained various grammar errors. I have been trying to refrain from asking you to fix your grammar, but messing up the grammar of a whole section is too much. Phrases such as "the tropics decreased a bit" have no meaning, for example. If you need help with wording, please ask another editor.

What concerns me is that you have been making the same mistakes repeatedly even though I have been fixing them. I don't expect you to learn overnight but I also want you to show evidence that you are attempting to improve your grammar rather than having me fix it all. Sorry if this message comes off negatively, but I hope this is the last time I post about this here.--Jasper Deng (talk) 07:01, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Timeline box date updating

I'm not trying to incite some sort of internal conflict on Wikipedia, and I know that United States Man said do not revert and so forth (I disagree with his reasoning), but for now, please only update at 0Z. If you've already updated some of them to September 27, that's okay, but at least for the immediate future, please wait until 0Z. Some people on Wikipedia seem to think it is better to wait until 0Z (such as me), and others think it should be updated early (like United States Man). I ask that you wait until 0Z on updates since that would hopefully minimize reversions. Sorry if I've made this hard to understand. Thanks. Dustin (talk) 23:58, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

@Dustin V. S.: That's what I was doing in the last several weeks FYI. Otherwise except today because today is the start of Daylight Saving here in NZ so the time changes. -- Typhoon2013 00:08, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for responding. Coordinated Universal Time doesn't change with Daylight Saving Time, so while the time will change in your local time (NZDT?), the time in UTC will remain the same.

@Typhoon2013: hPa and mbar are actually the same, but hPa is the standard unit for most of members of the Typhoon Committee. The infobox used to adopt hPa for typhoon articles, but I do not know why it becomes mbar now. -- Meow 09:12, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

BoM TL's

My view is that while the May Tropical Low was not monitored as a tropical depression by the FMS, it should still be mentioned in Other Systems since BoM is an official warning centre for the region the low operated in.

Aus Names

Oswalds replacement name was Osamu but that has been removed, I presume because off. Anyway I do not know which names are retired out of Rubina, Lam, Marcia and Isobel, but i can make a pretty informed guess that its only Lam and Marcia that are actually retired. However, we should keep the names on Tropical cyclone naming until the WMO Committee meets later this year to decide on the names retired as they are liable to reject any of the retirement candidates.Jason Rees (talk) 12:32, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

I have indicated on the list which names are scheduled for replacement and have listed that Lando is going to be retired.

Anyway just have a think about the FLC stuff and get back to me - Both @Hurricanehink: and I feel you would really benefit from the experience.Jason Rees (talk) 19:40, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
@Jason Rees: So you want me to start a talk thing to make the article in FL? Ok sure, I would love to help. However I might start sometime this week if I'm available because I am busy at other things if that's ok for you guys. Also as it says in my user page, I rarely edit (atm) because there are no active tropical cyclones. Typhoon2013 (talk) 00:54, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
I will set it up when its ready and invite you to co-nominate it with me. We will then receive various comments on what the article needs to be considered a featured list and are expected to resolve them satisfactorily before it is promoted. I will expect you to contribute and help resolve the comments.Jason Rees (talk) 02:18, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
@Jason Rees: Ok since I promised somewhere this week, I'll start later. Also since it's my first time, what do I need to do? Typhoon2013 (talk) 03:09, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Typhoon2013, I didn't just change the track image. I added and updated information. And for the track, the image that is there is old, so could you please update the image and put back my edits? Thanks, 73.223.175.207 (talk) 00:13, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

I have undid your revision but put back the old image. See, that image is 1 day old, so I put the file name of the new image, but all that came was a blank file. So could you please explain to me how to put images on Wikipedia? Thanks, 73.223.175.207 (talk) 00:23, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

Updating hurricane current infoboxes

Hello. For hurricanes (Central/Eastern Pacific and Atlantic), please wait for the NHC to release its advisory. They often differ from best track. For example, you entered the best-track value of 95 knots. The advisory says 100. This is acceptable in other basins, but not these.--Jasper Deng (talk) 20:36, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

@Jasper Deng: So despite you do this as well, as in updating infobox from trackfiles as well, the only article we don't need to do is both the EPac or CPac? Typhoon2013 (talk) 23:20, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
I don't do this in any of those three basins. I do it in other basins because the JTWC always follows what the best track says. Not so for NHC or CPHC.--Jasper Deng (talk) 23:56, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

My Apologies

I thought that Sandra didn't do much at all but break a couple records. My apologies. I just want to help improve Wikipedia. HurricaneGonzalo (talk) 22:28, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

2016 AHS

Hi there,

Please don't recreate the 2016 season articles until we have some non-generic information, likely in the form of the first seasonal forecasts. Please see WP:CRYSTAL, point #2. – Juliancolton | Talk 03:05, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

@Juliancolton: Thank you and sorry that I forgot about the "Wiki is not a crystal ball" thing, I completely forgot about it. Someone should've told me this one to two years ago when I made the 2014 and 2015 seasons really early as Nov 2013 and 2014. However, according to some users, the 2016 PTS article should be created just days before the start of 2016 because that basin never ends FYI. -- Typhoon2013 04:26, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Your edits to the lead of 2015 Pacific hurricane season

Hello. If you are going to make edits to it, at least preserve the references there, since you are basically trying to convey the same information.

Also, please make sure the grammar you use is correct. The reason why I keep having issue with this is that it has not improved over time, which is why I am not sure you are making an effort to improve. Again, whenever you are unsure of how to write a sentence, ask another editor. Do not make assumptions.

In any case, I think such a detailed summary belongs in the seasonal summary section instead. Note that the chronological summary portion of the 2014 season's article's lead only contains a very brief summary of the season.--Jasper Deng (talk) 17:27, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

Infobox windstorm season‎

This infobox is currently being used in an article, so please do not make major changes without testing them first. E.g. make a copy of it in your sandbox and check how it looks in another sandbox page. Your latest edit has caused some errors on the article. I would suggest that if you don't plan on fixing it pretty soon, to revert the changes and continue test editing it until a stable version is ready. Jolly Ω Janner 03:04, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

1997-98 SPAC

Hi Typhoon2013, while I know the numbers do make the 1997-98 SPAC season the most active on record - I do not like calling it the most active without a proper source saying so. On a side note I am also not a fan of including Violet in the 95/96 SPAC season since it was in and out within a day.Jason Rees (talk) 22:03, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

If you wish there are a couple of minor jobs that need doing at some point. These include making sure List of Historical tropical cyclone names has links to every single season and all the South Pacific tropical cyclone seasons are covered by buttons.Jason Rees (talk) 00:12, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
It would be appreciated if you could bring 1992-93 SPAC buttons up to scratch when you get a moment please.Jason Rees (talk) 23:15, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

Infobox Warning Centre

There's no real need to include the warning centre these days as it doesn't do anything. The Paramater was manily created when we used to record which warning center it was who warned on systems like for instance Bakung.Jason Rees (talk) 07:19, 8 December 2015 (UTC) Jason Rees (talk) 07:19, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Current infobox

May I ask where you have consensus for not having the current infobox in a typhoon season article for an active storm?--Jasper Deng (talk) 17:32, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Oh, I just saw Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tropical cyclones#Current infobox. That's not called a "consensus".--Jasper Deng (talk) 17:43, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Merry Christmas

Hi Typhoon2013, I just wanted to stop by and wish you a very Merry Christmas and all the best for 2016. Me and other older editors value your contributions to the current storm articles, though I personally wish you would add a tropical low as soon as you see the words Tropical Low in BoM's TWO's.Jason Rees (talk) 01:55, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
