Hello, I'm Dendrite1. I noticed that you made a change to an article, List of weather records, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Dendrite1 (talk) 09:22, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello Dendrite1, I have included citations, hope these french sources are ok for you:

-for the 1min record, ORSTOM is the former name of IRD (Institut de Recherche et Developpement ) http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institut_de_recherche_pour_le_d%C3%A9veloppement

-for the 12hr record, enseeiht is an institute of engineering with a «Hydraulics and fluid mechanics» department http://www.enseeiht.fr/_resources/RIC-Comm/ENSEEIHT_Institute_of_Engineering.pdf?download=true Renaudsechet (talk) 16:03, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Jim1138 (talk) 09:41, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello Jim1138, you have put this warning while I was editing, I have included citations, hope these french sources are ok for you:

-for the 1min record, ORSTOM is the former name of IRD (Institut de Recherche et Developpement ) http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institut_de_recherche_pour_le_d%C3%A9veloppement

Hello Renaudsechet, thank you for providing a source for your changes. However, the source you provided for the Reunion rainfall record appears to be a student project, according to the disclaimer found on this page. According to Wikipedia's reliable sources policy, this can't be used for sourcing since we don't know who wrote it and whether the facts have been checked, particularly considering the record originally in the page is from the World Meteorological Organization, an eminently reliable source. If you know of a reliable source for this information, please add it, otherwise it will have to be removed. Dendrite1 (talk) 10:22, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Ok, I had several sources, I will be looking for a more reliable source, but I cannot do it in the next minutes, as I have job duty Cheers Renaudsechet (talk) 16:03, 4 June 2013 (UTC)


 * By the way the other source you used (for the 1min Guadeloupe record) seems to be fine. Also, it's good to sign your talk page posts by typing in ~ so that it's clear who wrote the comment. Dendrite1 (talk) 10:42, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

thanks for the signing tip, I m learning.

still have to work about the missing source Renaudsechet (talk) 16:03, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

After checkings, I found that: «Communication with weather officials at La Reunion led to the determination that the rainfall figure for Tropical Cyclone Hyacinthe in 1980 at Grand Ilet listed by Krause and Flood (1997) is invalid; the correct figure is 1095 mm. Therefore, the 12-h rainfall record remains at 1144 mm during Tropical Cyclone Denise». I have corrected the post accordingly Renaudsechet (talk) 16:42, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
