Commons
The Commons category structure is under a major rewrite at the moment see Commons:User:Nilfanion/TC Cats. With a typical storm which is current the only cats needed are the storm category for that storm and the appropriate image type - NASA MODIS for example. I know full well the older images will need sorting (I'm not looking forward to it). However, its a much needed task. Good job on doing the stuff, expanding the image descriptions on so on. Just make sure that the image goes in the appropriate seasonal category, when it calms down it should be easier to follow :)--Nilfanion (talk) 21:58, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Apologies for the inconvenience, if you concentrate on improving images descriptions sourcing and the like you should avoid getting in the way.--Nilfanion (talk) 22:03, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Careless updates
Good point, Kitty, I have greyed out the image parameters in the spreadsheet to remind me not to overwrite them. Also the sectnum parameter where there is also a danger of wrong reversions. Apologies.--Keith Edkins ( Talk ) 17:00, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

I see you have reverted my scaled-down version of this to the super-colossal original. The reason I reduced it is that the Wiki servers seem unable to automatically scale the full-size version. I now see a red cross wherever the image is used. I would have thought 2000 x 2700 was more than enough for Wiki purposes, given that there is a pointer to the site where the full-size original can be found, and that the full-size version doesn't seem to work anyway...--Keith Edkins ( Talk ) 20:46, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I hope you have noticed that raw NASA images fail frequently enough. I've uploaded another massive version over the top, it should work now (its twice as large though :/). Don't have a little fight on that image, it takes too much effort to clean up after you :P--Nilfanion (talk) 21:24, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Re: Commons Vandal
Yeah, I have crossed that IPs path a few times... I've rolledback all the easier ones but the more complex ones will probably last a bit longer. Thanks for the head-up. Probably best to poke me on commons not here though on that kind of thing ... ;)--Nilfanion (talk) 21:50, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi
Good work on that 2005/06 Southern Hemisphere season page. If you won't mind, I hope you can load up images for the 1999-00 Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone season article please, since I have already put up those fancy infoboxes. Ta. RaNdOm26 18:09, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Outstanding images!!! RaNdOm26 04:06, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

I can't make the track map for that depression at this time - the NHC data contains an error; I cannot correct it as that would be OR.--Nilfanion (talk) 08:00, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. I have no idea how the talk didn't get moved. --Core desat  20:40, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Satellite images
Those new satellite images you've uploaded (of Andrew and TS 2) are incredible! I read what you put on the WPTC talk page, but please, could you go into further detail for me? Where is the data, how do you get it and what programs do you use and all that jazz. If you could tell me how to get "make" these pictures, that would be really awesome, but if it's really complicated, don't worry about it. Thanks. →Cycl  one1 → 17:50, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Awesome, thanks a lot! →Cycl   one1 → 19:43, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Wow, this is waaay more complicated than I thought. Lol. →Cycl   one1 → 20:19, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I just figured it out and this is so cool! Thanks for showing me how to do it! Cheers. →Cycl   one1 → 12:54, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Oh, sorry. I will from now on. →Cycl  one1 → 14:26, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Your discrepancy notice
See here for discussion about the CPHC/NHC Emilia discrepancy. It appears that there has been no response yet to the, so it is basically just wait and see. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 23:42, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Southern Hem Season
"As far as the naming and intensity stuff, if you can figure out that mess that would be great. I gave up on it because I found it too difficult and no one else wants to do S. Hemisphere stuff"

That is basically what I have done, apart from RSMC Nadi storms of which I've seen no BT data yet. P.K. 15:36, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Satellite pics
Hi, you think you can find a second image for Cyclone Rosita of 2000, and an image for Isobel of 2007 for me, please? Good work. :) RaNdOm26 08:46, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * That one is fine. If there is a pic at the time when it made landfall, that would be great. Otherwise, feel free to use the one you have. Just thought that the article needed another image. RaNdOm26 04:06, 11 January 2007 (UTC)


 * That reminds me- how DO you find those?? I looked at the site and couldn't find any at all.Mitchazenia 9000+edits) 19:50, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Image:2006 Atlantic hurricane season map.png
Hold on a sec. Is the cumulative track map uploaded to commons? Otherwise, I have to transwiki it, and that will take some time (as well as figuring out the appropriate naming scheme for the image beforehand...) Tito xd (?!?) 17:47, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * It's not the same track map. The one stored locally is made using Jdorje's track generator - that's the one I'm asking about. Is it on commons or not? Tito xd (?!?) 17:59, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: Cyclone Heta
I upped it to B class. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 20:04, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Hurricane Lester 1992
Could you get one of the good images for the above storm? It should be on August 23, 1992. Thanks if you can. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 00:27, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 01:06, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Your edit to 2000 Pacific hurricane season
Many of the image names here and in other tropical cyclone articles contain the months which they are taken. Please don't let your bot change the capitalization of them because that turns them all into red links. Good kitty 05:55, 6 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh dear, sorry about that. I do keep an eye out for image etc filenames, but sometimes one slips through unnoticed. I've made an explicit note of this page though, so it won't happen again there. Again, my apologies. CmdrObot 21:28, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Re: Cyclone 01A
Umm no... the image is right. The peak strength was 110 knots. That was a best track downgrade.--Nilfanion (talk) 16:17, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Image request
If possible, could you use that nifty program you use to get a nice image of Tropical Depression One in 1992? The depression was never terribly well organized, but the current image could be better. Thanks if you can! Hurricanehink ( talk ) 01:24, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Image uploads
From now on could you just upload new versions of MODIS images over top of the NRL/FNMOC versions, since they have generic names (such as Image:Hurricane_Flossie_2007_August_11_Terra_MODIS.jpg? This would mean fewer images for us to have to keep track of. --Core desat 02:07, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * No, uploading images on top of other images is very very bad and should be avoided. Many times the image displays the old one in the dimensions of the new one or the image won't display at all. Good kitty 02:13, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * That is nonsense and you know it, otherwise there wouldn't be a button for people to upload over old images. Purging the cache exists for a reason. – Chacor 02:21, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Seeing that you have done one of those yourself Image:Tropical Storm Otto (2004).jpg, why have you never fixed it? Look at the thumbnail version of this, and see if you can fix it without an admin. Good kitty 02:52, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * There is no thumbnail version of it. Like I said, purging the cache exists for a reason anyway - see WP:PURGE: "Purging an image's description page can be used to force the software to regenerate all the thumbnails for that particular image." This should answer your question. – Chacor 08:59, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Indeed, if uploading images on top of other images were bad, the "upload a new version" button wouldn't be there. It isn't that much trouble. --Core desat 02:27, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Re: Cosme
Thanks, I've updated the track map. --Ajm81 22:37, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Keith (1988)
Hey, seeing as you're the image master (keep it up, as always; your work is greatly appreciated), is there any way you might be able to upload an image or two of Tropical Storm Keith in 1988? It formed in the western Caribbean on November 17, made landfall at peak intensity on November 21 on Yucatan Peninsula, and made landfall on Florida on November 23. Thanks a lot of you can. If you're too busy or you can't, I understand (just wanted to check). Hurricanehink ( talk ) 23:33, 15 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the image. Weird about the dates being wrong. They should've been taken from the MWR. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 00:36, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Template:Tropical cyclone
I reverted your changes, as the darker color makes the text on the template difficult to read and the image you chose to replace the one already there is horribly distorted. Get consensus for any changes first. --Core desat 23:11, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
