just a question

How do you manage to get the black swaths off of worldview.earthdata.nasa.gov so early in the day? I have the black shadows over the countries and I then have to wait for it to be uploaded to the database for them to be removed. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RecentEdits (talkcontribs) 15:47, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

i use paint.net or GIMP to rotate the image so it doesn't show any black lines. using suomi npp imagery works as it doesnt have any missing data lines but sometimes it can look weird with a line cutting storms in half FleurDeOdile 16:14, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

Peace talks, maybe

Thanks for the contribution here on Misplaced Pages. But it seems your image is completely similar on my friend's (Yukaribba's). It is completely similar, except for one thing. The coastlines. Well, I occasionally use these coastlines if a storm is nearing landfall (ex. File:Maria 2017-09-18 1815Z.jpg) and I don't really use them actually. Everyone here avoids the coastlines' thing, and such a beautiful pictures you upload (or overwrite, like in the 2006 typhoon season.) is just being disgusted by coastlines. I suggest you will avoid the coastlines to make a near-perfect picture of a cyclone. - 👦🗣️ 07:01, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Could you please revert my edits back? (I can’t because my computer just died) Tropical Disturbance 06 was upgraded to Moderate Tropical Storm 10. This was stated by JTWC. Jayab314 (talk) 03:30, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

Older AUS seasons

Hey there Fleur. Thanks for your edits to 1968–69 Australian region cyclone season. Is there any chance you might be interested in making some other older Australian season articles? I'm thinking we should have them back to the start of naming (63-64 IIRC). ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:57, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

Lili image

Thank you for uploading the image for Lili. However, it is incredibly dark and far too zoomed out, and as such, does not match the features of images used in cyclone articles. I proceeded to fix this, and would kindly ask that you do not revert to the original simply for the sake of keeping your own original image. I would also ask that you do not make objectively false assertions to support your viewpoint, as this is deceptive. The central dense overcast in the image that I uploaded is centred, whereas yours is offset below and to the right of centre. Thank you in anticipation of your cooperation on this matter.

P.S. You should note that the image has blue in it because the ocean is blue. The darkness of your image makes the ocean look black.ChocolateTrain (talk) 03:17, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

IBTrACS wind data

Hi there! I see that you updated strengths of Australian tropical cyclones and you mentions that it's from the IBTrACS wind data. Can you show me a link to where you got that? Thanks! INeedSupport 22:24, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

Article of the month, by Jason Rees


History of tropical cyclone naming - The practice of using names to identify tropical cyclones goes back several centuries, with storms named after places, saints or things they hit before the formal start of naming in each basin. The credit for the first usage of personal names for weather systems is given to the Queensland Government Meteorologist Clement Wragge, who named tropical cyclones and anticyclones between 1887 and 1907. This system of naming fell into disuse for several years after Wragge retired, until it was revived in the latter part of World War II for the Western Pacific basin. Over the following decades, various naming schemes have been introduced for the world's oceans, including for parts of the Atlantic, Pacific and the Indian Ocean. The majority of these lists are compiled by the World Meteorological Organization's tropical cyclone committee for the region and include names from different cultures as well as languages. Over the years there has been controversy over the names used at various times, with names being dropped for religious and political reasons. For example, female names were exclusively used in the basins at various times between 1945 - 2000 and were the subject of several protests. The names of significant tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean and Australian region are retired from the naming lists and replaced with another name, at meetings of the various tropical cyclone committees.


Storm of the month and other tropical activity


Cyclone Fani was an extremely severe cyclonic storm that made landfall in Odisha, India on May 3. The storm achieved peak intensity as a near Category 5-equivalent cyclone with 3-minute sustained winds of 215 km/h (130 mph), 1-minute sustained winds of 250 km/h (155 mph), and a minimum central pressure of 937 hPa (mbar). Fani caused over $1.8 billion (2019 USD) in damage in India and Bangladesh and killed at least 89 people.

Since the last newsletter, twelve systems have formed.

  • Southwest Indian Ocean
    In the Southwest Indian Ocean, Cyclone Kenneth made landfall in Mozambique approximately 1 month after Cyclone Idai, causing widespread flooding and destruction. Overall, Kenneth killed at least 52 people and caused more than $100 million in damage. Additionally, Tropical Cyclone Lorna formed over the eastern portion of the basin in late April and dissipated in early May without affecting land.
  • Australian Region
    In the Australian Region, cyclones Lili and Ann formed in early May and both affected land. No deaths were reported, although Lili caused moderate damage in the Maluku Islands and East Timor.
  • South Pacific
    In the South Pacific, a tropical depression formed in mid-may, but failed to intensify and dissipated a few days later.
  • South Atlantic
    In the South Atlantic, Subtropical Storm Jaguar formed in late May and lasted for approximately two days before becoming extratropical.
  • Western Pacific
    In the Western Pacific, three weak tropical depressions existed during the first half of May.
  • North Atlantic
    In the North Atlantic, Subtropical Storm Andrea formed on the same day as Jaguar, but failed to intensify and dissipated on the next day.




  • The Eastern Pacific hurricane season began on May 15.
  • The Atlantic hurricane season will begin at 2:00 AM EDT on June 1.
  • The Central Pacific hurricane season will begin sometime after 12:00 AM HST on June 1.

New WikiProject Members since the last newsletter in April 2019


More information can be found here. This list lists members who have joined/rejoined the WikiProject since the release of the last issue in April 2019. Sorted chronologically. Struckout users denote users who have left or have been banned.

To our new members: welcome to the project, and happy editing! Feel free to check the to-do list at the bottom right of the newsletter for things that you might want to work on. To our veteran members: thank you for your edits and your tireless contributions!

Editorial for welcoming new users, by Hurricanehink


Every year, editors new and old help maintain the new season of season articles. The older users are likely used to the standards of the project, such as how to Wikilink and reference properly. Newer users might make mistakes, and they might make them over and over again if they don't know better. If anyone (who happens to read this) comes across a new user, please don't bite, because with enough pushback, they'll decide that this group of editors is too mean, and unfun. This is all a volunteer project; no one can force anyone to do anything. We're all on here because of our love of knowledge and tropical cyclones. If you find someone new, consider using the official WPTC welcome template - Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Tropical cyclones/Welcome.

I also encourage that if you know any tropical cyclone researchers, please speak up and try recruiting them to edit. Veteran editors can't keep editing forever. Life gets busy, and the real world beckons!

Member of the month (edition) – Yellow Evan


Yellow Evan has been involved with WPTC since 2008. Since the last newsletter, Yellow Evan has taken 5 typhoon articles to good article status as well as created 2 more. Overall, he has created and/or significantly contributed to more than 130 good articles. Your work in the Western Pacific Basin is invaluable... Thank you for your contributions!

Featured Content

This section lists content that have become featured, articles and lists, since the past newsletter in mid-April 2019.
From April 14–May 31, 2019, 1 featured article was promoted:

WikiProject Tropical Cyclones: News & Developments

  • An awards program for the project began on May 31. It involves 25 levels that may be gained by earning points for completing various actions such as getting good or featured articles. Additional awards will be added in the future.
  • As of this news letter, there are more articles ranked a good article or better (1317) than articles ranked B-class or worse (1272), for the first time in the project's history.
  • Every Atlantic hurricane season from 1945 to 2007 is rated at least a GA. That is an impressive feat, and an incredibly body of work among many editors.
  • Cyclone Raja became the 150th featured article in the project. Thanks to all of the editors and their tireless edits for writing 2.7% of all of Misplaced Pages's featured articles.
  • In the 24 hours after Hurricane Michael's TCR was released, the article on the hurricane was edited 82 times by 18 different users.
  • In March 2019, the most popular article in the project was Cyclone Idai, viewed 231,969 times during the month. The generic cyclone was 2nd most popular, with 131,080 views. In 3rd place was Hurricane Katrina with 112,283 views. Included in the top 20 were the 2018 and 19 Atlantic hurricane seasons, hurricanes Michael, Florence, Irma, Maria, and Harvey, and the 1896 Cedar Keys hurricane, which was TFA on March 20th.

New articles since the last newsletter include:

New GA's include:

Current assessment table


Assessments valid as of this printing. Depending on when you may be viewing this newsletter, the table may be outdated. See here for the latest, most up to date statistics.
As of this issue, there are 150 featured articles and 69 featured lists. There are 142 A-class articles, but that number is subject to change, depending if we mandate that all A-class articles have an A-class review first. There are 956 good articles, meaning it is possible we get to our 1000th GA by the end of the year. There are only 61 B-class articles, perhaps because because most articles of that quality already passed a GA review. There are 350 C-class articles, 720 start-class articles, and 141 stub-class articles, with 29 lists and 8 current articles. The number of lists may decrease further as the "Tropical cyclone X" articles continue to be reclassified as set index articles. These figures mean that nearly half of the project is rated a GA or better - including the lists/current/future articles, there are 1272 articles that are below GA status, versus 1317 that are GA or better.

Images

It seems to me that you consistently overwrite my cyclone image uploads without much reason. Sometimes your upload is better, but often, your images are no better than the ones that were already there, and commonly they are worse. If you are going to overwrite something, please provide actual evidence which supports your overwrite, rather than just "This is better" as a reason. That is simply an opinion of yours, and it appears as though you are just overwriting other people's images because you want your own images to be the ones used. Regarding the Vayu image, the original has far better colour quality and is not washed out and dusty in appearance. Furthermore, it has the correct ratio that is used conventionally used in images of cyclones here on Misplaced Pages. It is also closer up to the cyclone so that more details are visible. The cyclone only takes up a tiny amount of the field in the image you uploaded, when Vayu is supposed to be the subject of the photo, not the deserts of India and Pakistan. I hope that in the future you can make some more productive edits such as contributing information to Vayu's article section, rather than overwriting images all the time. ChocolateTrain (talk) 17:27, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

Hurricane Dorian images

You keep changing my photos of Hurricane Dorian to more zoomed out photos. It doesn't matter if the photo quality is worse, it matters what the image is projecting and what it means. My photos convey this better as they show the coastline. Normally coastlines wouldn't be accepted except for their landfalls, in which case is important since it shows the islands better. You're images are constantly zoomed out and waste a lot of necessary space on the article.

Please respect others instead of insisting your photos are always better, and please, don't be a jerk. Jayab314 23:56, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

your image is basically a poor quality screenshot and mine is not. FleurDeOdile 14:16, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
@Hurricane Noah and A1Cafel: Again, it doesn’t matter if the photo quality is worse than yours, it matters what the photo is showing. The only reason I’ve heard for keeping your photos is because it has better quality. Your reasoning screams WP:IDONTLIKEIT and is not valid. My photos show the landfalls better as they have borders and are more zoomed in to the eye, showing more detail. Your photos are zoomed out and waste necessary space in the article.
Please respect others, and please, don't be a jerk. Jayab314 16:40, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

Track help

Thanks for the advice. However, what input should I put it on the terminal? I am currently using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, as an alternative because I also work in tropical cyclone images as you have seen me overwrite it with a better 'science quality data' version. Can you tell me what is the input for centering the track? I am new to the project, as I want to do it. Also, can you assess the error above? (please see Tracks.) - 👦 13:19, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

TS Fitow track??

Okay. I was just spinning in the 2001 typhoon season article and saw your IBTrACS data of Tropical Storm Fitow. I mean, it is the "biggest clusterfuck of dots of all time". Now, if you see here (http://agora.ex.nii.ac.jp/cgi-bin/weather-chart/search_day.pl?lang=en&year=2001&month=8&day=25) until the end of 30 (18z), you could say that I am conflicted in the TD Jolina infobox that "it was last seen as an exposed surface circulation virtually where it formed on August 21" when the JMA weather maps continued to track Jolina until the storm was last seen as a TD near Taiwan (see day 24, 06z). - 👦 06:17, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

Edit summary

@FleurDeOdile: Did you really just assert here in your edit summary that I should be banned from uploading? That is not really a valid justification for your edit, and is rather contrary to the purpose of Misplaced Pages. I'm not sure why you prefer that image to the original anyway, given how low resolution and zoomed out it is. I am not going to revert your edit given recent events; however, I will contact other editors to see their opinion. Pinging: @Jason Rees, @Hurricanehink

To be honest with you, I'm not so concerned about the image. Of course, I believe your upload has several flaws, but I couldn't really care less about that at the moment. I'm just disappointed with your edit summary and your attitude towards me in general. I am not going to have an argument about it, because it will probably just end up being twisted to be used as more ammunition against me. ChocolateTrain (talk) 20:35, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

I hate getting involved in these satellite imagery wars and I think Hink is the same as I have no real knowledge about this.Jason Rees (talk) 22:52, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
No problem. ChocolateTrain (talk) 00:51, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
If anyone has a problem with what image is used, remember that it's pretty much pointless, the average reader doesn't care, and if you can't agree on something, then you need to discuss it on a talk page and not in an edit summary. I don't believe anyone involved here should lose the privileges of uploading images. There are so few of us editing TC articles. We need to get along and make our edits productive. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:29, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

Ferdinand image

@FleurDeOdile: I can't believe that I really have to engage in yet another disagreement with you about image selection, but I feel that it is warranted in the Ferdinand situation to prevent any more pointless reversions. I believe your preferred image, namely File:Ferdinand 2020-02-26 0605Z.jpg, is inferior to the original image, namely File:Ferdinand 2020-02-26 0608Z.jpg. The most pressing reason for this is the excessively small portion of the image that the cyclone occupies in your upload. By my rough estimation (assuming a circular system with a total CDO and banding radius equal to approximately 15% of the image width), the cyclone takes up only 5% of the image area, given a 4:3 aspect ratio. This is far too small. Looking at the image, it is effectively impossible to discern any details of the cloud structure and shape other than simply that it is white and roughly circular. The 0608Z image, which I prefer and uploaded originally, shows details like cloud texture and altitude to some extent, and shows more clearly that the eye is not circular. There is no reason to have the cyclone take up such a small portion of the image, when the sole purpose of the image is to show what the cyclone looks like. Although our situation is not as extreme, the first bullet point here, the point regarding subject size in the preceding plain text, as well as the photo in the previous subsection, illustrate a starker example of what I am trying to explain. I should also note that your image is timestamped incorrectly, as the Aqua satellite passed over the cyclone at 06:08 UTC rather than 06:05 UTC, contrary to the indication in your image's title.

It is not necessarily my place to comment on your editing history, but given a cursory perusal of your editing statistics, perhaps it would be useful and rewarding for you to consider diversifying your contributions to Misplaced Pages, and to clash less with editors on the topic of images. ChocolateTrain (talk) 03:13, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) FleurDeOdile: I encourage you to engage in the discussion ChocolateTrain is facilitating here. By my count, the two of you have overriden each other's image eight times, including the latest instance which occurred well after ChocolateTrain opened dialogue above, not to mention the several changes on the file itself. All of these changes have also been done without noting the change in edit summaries. @ChocolateTrain: I know these have largely been two-sided affairs, but I would suggest in future instances to bring image discussions to the article's talk page rather than on user talk pages to foster further discussion and better gauge consensus on the article itself.
The two images have their positives, but ideally I think a compromise between the two images would be best. I think the best tropical cyclone images are ones that provide sufficient context: they satisfactorily illustrate the storm's intensity, appearance, and surrounding the geographic context—all three of those facets. The 0605z image does a better job at the last point, showing more of the surrounding landmasses, while the 0608z handles the first two better, since we don't want the subject matter to be so small relative to the image. I would suggest a crop about midway between the two, perhaps with just part of Sumba in view. —TheAustinMan 00:45, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

Cyclone Herold

Hey there. I saw you redirected the article for Cyclone Herold without any discussion. May I ask, how come? The article is on the shorter side, sure, but the storm still killed five people, affected two different countries, and was pretty impactful for Madagascar. It's not the best article, sure, but it's an article made by a new user, and I'm trying to encourage new users to try making articles, even if they're not perfect. There's a reason we have start-class articles. Eventually they can be improved by other users. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:28, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

A wake-up call for you. I'm gonna revert it. (https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Tropical_cyclones/Tracks#No_IBTrACS) Regards, 👦 05:47, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Final warning over inappropriate behavior

You have been warned multiple times over the last several months about your inappropriate behavior, particularly with edit summaries, and this is your final such warning. Recent examples: , , . I gave you a warning myself in November, you received a second warning in February, and ChocolateTrain complained later that month. A lack of responses to these messages leaves me to believe you have no intention of changing your behavior. If you continue attacking other editors through summaries or messages, you will be blocked for a period of time. Please refer to Misplaced Pages:Civility on how to appropriately interact with other users on the site. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 19:35, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

the problem is that all of this is caused by all of users that trigger me (IPs, vandals and F13 followers). and combined with anger issues causes that. i honestly need a break from WP for a long while (not necessarily i need to be banned). FleurDeOdile 21:07, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
It's understandable that things can get frustrating, that's comes with trying to maintain the site. But when that frustration builds, you have to take a step back before reacting. Things don't have to be accomplished immediately here, so taking time to think things through is not a problem at all. Discussions are a core element of Misplaced Pages, that's how disputes are resolved here. In the case of not believing Irondro warrants an article, the best course of action would be to start a discussion on the talk page and ping (using {{ping|user}}) the editors involved. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 21:30, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

Unexplained reversion

You have once again reverted an edit without providing an explanation. This is contrary to Misplaced Pages policy and is unacceptable. ChocolateTrain (talk) 04:26, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

Note that if you fail to provide an adequate explanation for this reversion, or any reversion in the future, the previous version will be restored. You cannot continue to flout policy and revert non-vandal edits without explanation simply because you feel like it. You need to be accountable for your actions. ChocolateTrain (talk) 06:13, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

Are you going to reply to my message, or simply ignore it like the other times I've called you out on this behaviour? ChocolateTrain (talk) 05:10, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

I mean...

I know that you have reverted me twice regarding TD Ambo's image in the current infobox. But is the reason because the image name and quality is not that good since it has been made by a relatively new user? I will agree with that, though. Apologies if I couldn't create a new image earlier but at least the geostationary images will be up as soon as it is designated. Typhoon2013 (talk) 00:55, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

COVID-19 section on 2020 AHS

Are you just going to keep removing the COVID section on 2020 Atlantic hurricane season without providing an explanation? You have not said anything at all on why you keep removing it. I for one think it needs to be there considering the season could be one of the most difficult seasons we’ve been through, because of the pandemic and potentially active season forecasted too. So please stop, or I may have to report you if you keep this up. --MarioProtIV (/contribs) 23:10, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

How active the season may be is of little importance. Nevertheless, I don't have a problem with the content but the lead sees like a weird place for the information. Perhaps the seasonal predictions section? YE 00:08, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
Can i ask a question? What makes some random mayor of a city in some US State so notable, that his views about Covid and the hurricane season are represented in the AHS? Especially at a time when the TC warning system was being tested in the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji and Tonga by Cyclone Harold. I would also be curious to see if his views has changed since. Dont get me wrong though, I think some stuff to covid is relevant to all of the season articles, but it has to be in a balanced way.Jason Rees (talk) 01:43, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Repeated content removal

@FleurDeOdile:, if you keep removing content from articles without adequately explaining why, I might have to report you at ANI. Just saying... 🐔Chicdat Database 10:48, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Funny, I was just coming to this page to post the same thing. @FleurDeOdile:, can you explain your content removal in this edit? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:05, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

May 2020, just gonna include this here

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Misplaced Pages without adequate explanation, you may be blocked from editing. shows you just redirected without any procedure beforehand. Don’t do that please. There is also word you’re removing stuff related to COVID (which has effects on tropical cyclone disaster management) from TC articles. ...yeah.

I have blocked this account for 72 hours in response to your persistent disruptive editing–ownership of article content, edit warring, WP:IDHT behavior, and general refusal to cooperative. Please take this time to review Misplaced Pages's guidelines and policies on collaborative editing and building consensus. If you feel this block was in error you may appeal it by following the instructions at WP:APB. Thank you. – Juliancolton |  18:22, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Disruptive editing

In the 2020 Pacific hurricane season article, you removed a mention that travel restrictions were lifted and stores were opened at partial capacity amid the pandemic to allow people to prepare for Amanda. That is directly related and it's not ambiguous. You have been told by multiple editors now, including when you and I had an extensive chat on IRC, that coronavirus mentions are notable and worthy of addition. If you truly believe your viewpoint is the correct one and you can persuade everybody else, bring the topic up on a talk page. Otherwise, these edits are nothing but disruptive. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 17:24, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

it has absolutely nothing to do with TCs and this is a TC-only project. not a virus one FleurDeOdile 17:32, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
If it impacts how people access supplies and prepare for a tropical cyclone, it is very clearly related... TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 17:45, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

June 2020

FleurDeOdile, you protest to everything, even to the point of being blocked, with merely saying, "This is a TC-only project, not a virus one." But it is a virus one if it does in how @TropicalAnalystwx13: says it. And could you possibly explain why Tropical Storm Arthur (2020) was redirected with the mere edit summary DO NOT REVERT? If the edit summary was more specific, it might have not been immediately reverted. Thanks, 🐔 Chicdat Database 10:11, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

"Garbage image"

How is File:SD4 2020-06-22 Terra.jpg a garbage image? The seam? The Aqua pass hasn't happened yet but this image seems certainly fine for now - it's more up-to-date than the image from yesterday, which also has a visible seam. I don't understand the flat-out removal of the image. Jokullmusic 21:06, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
