IBTRACS
Hi SolarisPenguin, Thanks for updating tropical cyclone intensities using IBTRACS which is fine and great, however, we need to be careful which dataset we take the data from especially if you are changing the dates of the season away from what the BoM said. DS824/NEUMANN are both unofficial datasets which as far as I know use 1-min winds and are not 10-min winds or from the BoM. I also have a big problem with applying Neumanns winds to call something a TS etc on the SSHWS, before the JTWC starts to issue warnings for the basin in 1980 as they were never called a tropical storm etc or rated on the SSHWS.

 * I attempted to find the BoM stats, but couldn't locate them. According to the DS824 notes, the data for their estimates are provided from the BOM. SolarisPenguin (talk) 12:43, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Also, the 10-min estimate for Wendy was from TCWC Wellington. SolarisPenguin (talk) 12:46, 12 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Hey SolarisPenguin, Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier but I had to go work! I don't know offhand where the previous winds on the article came from, but was concerned since you are brand new and had changed the winds, categories, dates etc based on what I believe is an unofficial dataset. I don't know if the winds in the DS824 is directly from the BoM and would urge you to be careful since the windspeeds could have originated from Honolulu, Jakarta, PNG, Nadi or New Caledonia, however, I can confirm that the data from Wellington is reputable as it is indeed from MetService who warned on the systems at the time along with the BoM. I think for now what I will do is revert my edit but go through and double-check them on my days off over the next few days.Jason Rees (talk) 00:30, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello! A few estimates didn't match up with the BOM data, and instead used the JTWC data, however I didn't include those when I added the new data. I may have made a few mistakes there though. SolarisPenguin (talk) 00:59, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Using JTWC data in place of data from the BoM is probably one of the worst things you can do in terms of changing wind speeds, as the JTWC are meant to be 1-minute sustained and use the SSHWS rather than 10-min and the Aus TC Scale like the BoM, MetService etc do. However, I believe that before 1980 most of their data comes from the RSMC/TCWC's. Anyway lets check these things together. and start with Ida, I see that the BoM/Wellington both agree that it moved into the SPAC during June 1 (local time) and since its .1 of a degree and an hour on the BoM's part I think its better to use June 1 for the dissipation date. I also see that Wellington suggests that Ida crossed with 55 kts and a central pressure of 980 hPa, which would make it a Cat 2 TC on Aus.Jason Rees (talk) 02:14, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
 * When I was referring to estimates in my previous post, I meant the DS824 estimates used the JTWC data in a few select cases, like Vicky and Wendy. I didn't include those when I added the data. For Wendy, I opted for the Wellington estimate. SolarisPenguin (talk) 03:02, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

WikiProject Weather: Map Dot & Template/Infobox Colors
Dear project member, This message is being sent out to encourage new ideas and feedback on those proposed in regard to the colors debate for WikiProject Weather. For those who are unaware of what's been happening over the last year, I will give a brief summary. We have been discussing proposed changes to the colors of the dots on tropical cyclone maps and templates and infoboxes across the entire weather project in order to solve issues related to the limited contrast between colors for both normal vision as well as the various types of color blindness (MOS:ACCESS). We had partially implemented a proposal earlier this year, however, it was objected to by a number of people and additional issues were presented that made it evident this wasn't the optimal solution. We tried to come up with other solutions to address the issues related to color contrast, however, none of them gained traction and no consensus was generated.

We need your help and I encourage you to propose your own scale and give feedback on those already listed. Keep in mind that we are NOT making a decision on any individual proposal at this time. We are simply allowing people to make proposals and cultivate them given feedback from other project members. Please visit our project page for additional details. The proposal phase will close no later than December 31st at 23:59 UTC. Noah Talk 03:51, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

Colin's Image
On the 2022 Atlantic Season article, I noticed that you changed Colin's image. In previous discussions we decided on the image that you replaced. Could you explain why and maybe go on the talk page to discuss why you changed it. ✶Mitch199811✶ (talk) 17:51, 11 December 2022 (UTC)


 * The image being used currently shows Colin shortly before being downgraded to a tropical depression. While the other image isn't as good quality as the current one, it's much better at representing the peak than the current one, which doesn't represent peak at all. Alternatively, maybe File:Colin 2022-07-02 1211Z.jpg or File:Colin 2022-07-02 0715Z.jpg could be used. These are better quality but still closer to peak than the image being used currently. I think a better representation of the peak intensity should be prioritized over using visible imagery. SolarisPenguin (talk) 07:15, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I would open a discussion in the season's page proper as they have discussed it and decided on that image twice I believe. ✶Mitch199811✶  [ Talk ] 13:14, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

Final report
Wait. It's actually out now? I didn't know, so I'll just revert my edits and change the source. Songda   Talas  14:39, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

IBTRACS Data
Please remember to take the winds in IBTRACS from the USA Wind Paramater and not the Max Intensity or NEUMANN WIND, as the former is the JTWC's official estimate of the winds in a system.Jason Rees (talk) 11:36, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

September 2023
Your recent editing history at 2023 Atlantic hurricane season shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.''You are edit warring in violation of established consensus. Stop immediately.'' Jasper Deng (talk) 01:02, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
