Re: Old season articles
Unfortunately, I have Lexus-Nexis at school. The program is like $600 to get, but my school provides it free to its students. However, there is somewhat of an alternative. The hurricane archive has hurricane-related newspaper articles back over 100 years, and it's free. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 01:09, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Chantal pic
I'm not sure what's wrong with it... the new thumbnail is showing up in the articles, as expected. Maybe try clearing your browser's cache? Tito xd (?!? - cool stuff) 03:02, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

1988 AHS
I saw your work on it. Good job :) Think you could use some help? Just reply with things to do. Mit ch 32contribs 18:17, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Ivan (2004)
Could you, by chance, get an image of Tropical Storm Ivan after regenerating in the Gulf of Mexico on September 22, 2004? I recently created Meteorological history of Hurricane Ivan, and one last image of it reforming would complete it. I hope it's not a problem, and thanks if you can.

 * Thanks a lot! I chose the second one. The line thing is pretty minor, especially when it's viewed as a thumb. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 02:38, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Satellite Image Replacement for Hurricane Lane
Hello, Good kitty! The image I have uploaded for Hurricane Lane of the 1988 Pacific hurricane season (Image:Hurricane Lane (1988).JPG) has the satellite overlay too far south. Could I ask you if you could Good kitty it for me? (Your name has become a neologism for creating those great satellite images of your creation!) Thanks for your help.

Isaac 2000 request
I wrote a long storm history for Isaac of 2000 and in now of need of several pictures, more specifically ones that make a timeline of strength. (TD-TS-H1-H2-H3-H1-H4-EX). Thanks.Mitch32contribs 23:19, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Re: Images
Oh wow, those are awesome, great find. Which ones do you think we should get? We already have good images of Noel prior to moving over Hispaniola, one of it hitting the Bahamas, and one of it at peak intensity. One as an extratropical storm might be good. What do you think?

Sidr pressure
Whether the pressure looks "wrong" is not a question for the article to ask. We only use RSMC data in the infoboxes, using JTWC data for areas where there is no RSMC data (such as 1-minute winds and wave height). If the IMD says the pressure is X hPa, then the pressure is officially X hPa. Using NRL data (except for when there is no official pressure given) is inappropriate as it is not official. --Core desat 04:17, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 * How is IMD a questionable source? It is the official RSMC for this basin. Its data may be hit-or-miss but is the only official data in this basin. If this is because of their advisory intensities, it's because IMD is not breaking the Dvorak constraints for rapid intensification. --Core desat 04:22, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The symbols are next to NRL pressures for systems that have no IMD pressures listed (they actually shouldn't be there). IMD is a national meteorological agency and a RSMC - its status as a source cannot be questioned regardless of how poor the quality of their forecasts may be. You should also note that at least IMD has degreed meteorologists; JTWC cannot boast that. --Core desat 04:43, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, by the word of WP:V, IMD is not a questionable source. If IMD is a questionable source, then so are products from all other weather agencies that don't appear to correct errors or issue advisories you don't happen to agree with (of course, I didn't agree with any of the IMD information, but it is the local RSMC and cannot be questioned). You are wikilawyering - I strongly suggest you stop. --Core desat 04:46, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 * It isn't our position to judge whether the WMO is failing or not. We write what's there. --Core desat 05:36, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Yea, no prob. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 21:41, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Page forking
When splitting a page into new content such as 2001-02 Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone season, ensure that the edit summary creating the page links back to the original. Otherwise your page fork will be a violation of the GFDL as you are claiming copyright for work that is not your own; and should be credited to authors on the original page.--Nilfanion (talk) 11:05, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * If you have an article with 20 stubby subsections it is better to say once that the article is in need of expansion than 20 times. This removes the maintenance templates from the text and so makes what little text there is flow better. It displaces the infobox down, but the text of the article isn't interrupted every 5 seconds by "expand me". The article is basically unreferenced too as the textual information does not match the source.--Nilfanion (talk) 22:01, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

I know this because it is my copyright. "Cyclone Harry developed on March 5 to the southwest of Diego Garcia. Hary peaked with 260 km/h (160 mph) winds, the strongest of the season, as it brushed the northeastern coast of Madagascar. Hary turned southeast dissipated on March 14. There were only minor effects on land." That is substantial copyrightable text, which was (badly) sourced in the SHem article to the summary by Gary Padgett. The new article neither backlinks to the old one, nor links to the actual text source. That means you were asserting ownership of text someone else had written, which is a troublesome attitude to copyright. And I will reiterate the other point, 2 tags at the start is better than 20 throughout the article.--Nilfanion (talk) 22:54, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
