Talk:Tropical Storm Vamei

Paper on formation
I was looking through the JTWC site and found a link to this paper describing the formation of this storm. There's also a radar pic of the eye from the USS Carl Vinson in the JTWC ATCR.--Nilfanion (talk) 12:21, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

GA Sweeps Review: On Hold
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. I'm specifically going over all of the "Meteorology and atmospheric sciences" articles. I believe the article currently meets the majority of the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. However, in reviewing the article, I have found there are some issues that need to be addressed. I have made minor corrections and have included several points below that need to be addressed for the article to remain a GA. Please address them within seven days and the article will maintain its GA status. If progress is being made and issues are addressed, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted. If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAN. This article covers the topic well and if the above issues are addressed, I believe the article can remain a GA.


 * 1) The majority of the information in the "Storm history" section is not sourced save for one inline citation. It is recommended that there is a citation for each paragraph for the information presented and after each direct statistic or quote.

Also need inline citations:
 * 1) "The majority of what little damage occurred involved ships that were caught off guard by the unexpected power of the storm.[citation needed]"
 * 2) "Because of a unique formation and track, the name "Vamei" was retired and replaced with "Peipah"."

I will leave the article on hold for seven days, but if progress is being made and an extension is needed, one may be given. I will leave messages on the talk pages of the main contributors to the article along with related WikiProjects so that the workload can be shared. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 03:33, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok. Sounds like I can fix this. I will when I can, which is soon. I think. icelandic hur ric ane #12(talk) —Preceding comment was added at 21:47, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Looks like Hurricanehink is doing a good job addressing the issues. Kindly keep us updated on the progress of this article. --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 15:00, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

GA Sweeps Review: Pass
Superb job on addressing the above issues. I believe the article continues to meet the GA criteria and the article will keep its status. Continue to improve the article with any available information, ensuring that it is properly sourced and neutral. I have added an article history of the article to reflect this review. I hope that any future holds for similar articles during GA sweeps are fixed as well as this one. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Keep up the good work and happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 05:59, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Should we include the definition?
Vamei means laughingthrush. Shoud we mention this in the article, or does it go off topic and shouldn't be mentioned? SarikaHaimaParmaMolaveWelpring (talk) 00:08, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't really see the need to include the definition of Vamei, unless we can prove that it really did mean laughingthrush when it was nominated in 1999.Jason Rees (talk) 14:48, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
