hurricane vs typhoon vs cyclone

The lead of tropical cyclone naming does not need a line on what a Hurricane, typhoon etc is, because it is a lot more complex than just hurricane vs typhoon vs cyclone. For example hurricanes are officially known as severe tropical cyclones in the South Pacific and very severe cyclonic storms in the North Indian Ocean. As i said in the edit summuary it jsut opens up a pandoras box on which classifications should be added. Please see Tropical cyclone scales for further details. Thanks.

You really should read up on slippery slopes before you continue to make this argument. Calidum ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 04:05, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Station stuff

Since you participated in the RM discussion at Talk:Greenbelt Station#Requested move 7 February_2015, you may have thoughts worth commenting on at the related RFC at Misplaced Pages talk:Naming conventions (US stations)#RfC: some proper talkin' about station title conventions, including especially the survey at Misplaced Pages talk:Naming conventions (US stations)#Simpler questions / concise survey. If so, please comment there. Dicklyon (talk) 05:25, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the notification. It's not something I feel strongly enough to comment on at the moment, however. Calidum ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 17:21, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Unintentional

I've been using my tablet for editing today, and the same reversion thing happened elsewhere - totally unintentional and had to be a slip of the finger. Thanks for correcting my error. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 21:29, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

No worries. I edit from my phone a lot and run into the same issue once in a while. Calidum ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 22:11, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Calling all WikiProject X members!

Hello fellow member! WikiProject X needs your help!

We studied the various needs that WikiProjects have, and have come up with some ideas for our first round of WikiProject tool development. These include:

  • An automatically updated WikiProject directory that surfaces WikiProject-related metrics and automatically generates a list of active participants and potential members;
  • A lightweight, optional alternative to WikiProject banners, featuring an option to quickly send a message to the named WikiProjects;
  • A tool that bootstraps WikiProjects; and
  • A worklist generation script for WikiProjects

We are now looking for volunteer coders to work on these projects. If you are interested in developing these tools, or if you would to volunteer for other tasks, check out our new volunteers portal. Thank you for your help!
