Talk:Typhoon Nida (2004)

Assessment/Merge
Nice. I'll put it at a start for now, but I think it can easily became a B class, though I'm not so sure about GA. Good luck! íslenskur fellibylur #12 (samtal) 17:42, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

It needs a merge. There's no additional info here - a lot of it is really just useless - and there's even factual errors IN THE INTRO. The images aren't even high-res! A lot of work needed. Merge. – Chacor 18:47, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree, merge it unless new information can be found. --Core des at talk! 19:05, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

...OK. The article isn't very good. The only reason why it looks long is because it is laden with superfluous information. The entire storm history should only be 3 paragraphs. Also, it doesn't even use JMA! All the wind speeds are unofficial and, thus, inaccurate. The impact section, which is supposed to be a fairly important part of the article, presents itself in a very unorganized manner and is fairly boring. Almost all of it is statistics. There's only a little description of the actual impact of the storm; 700 houses damaged, the deaths, and how the rare tornado caused damage. Are there any specifics about the damage? If that is all the info that is available on the storm, I agree, it should be merged. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 21:05, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
 * If this gets merge, which I now agree it should, I think I'm gonna move this to my sandbox to work on. I'll just need help with the JMA stuff. íslenskur fellibylur #12 (samtal) 22:17, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

By the way, Nida was numbered 04W by JTWC, not 20W. RaNdOm26 10:04, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Exactly what I mean by there's errors in the intro - PAGASA also don't use the term "super typhoon". – Chacor 10:06, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I doesnt matter. Storm05 12:18, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * And besides JWTC is better and accurate than JMA. Storm05 12:19, 28 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Absolutely wrong. It does matter, otherwise it's false info. And JMA is official in this basin. If you can't accept that then I'd say don't do WPac articles, because all you're giving is wrong info. – Chacor 13:03, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

 * A warning is not incivil. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia and be incivil, you will be blocked. – Chacor 13:34, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * There was nothing incivil or assumption of bad faith in that. Don't throw around policy when you're in the wrong. – Chacor 13:09, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Merged. I copied the preparations info over to the seasonal article, everything else is already there. – Chacor 13:12, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Whats a major typhoon?
Whats a Major Typhoon? - The term isnt used within the WPAC by any of the warning centers - Also the WMO do not meet in the spring for the PTS's, they meet during the winter months of November December January.Jason Rees (talk) 17:34, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I have addressed those points. Major typhoon is a relic of the original editors of this article.  Thegreatdr (talk) 19:30, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
