Wikipedia:WikiProject Weather/Sources

The purpose of this page is to help improve the references in Wikipedia articles related to the weather and meteorology. It serves to inform users about a source's reliability as it pertains to meteorological topics. This list is merely a collection of some sources; other good sources do exist that are not listed here. You can help to expand this list by starting a discussion about a source on the talk page.

Legend
class=perennial-sources-legend
 * {{legend|#DDFFDD|Yes Check Circle.svg Generally reliable: Editors show consensus that the source is reliable for use on meteorological topics in most cases. The source has a reputation for fact-checking, accuracy, and error-correction, often in the form of a strong editorial team. It will still be necessary to analyze how much weight to give the source and how to describe its statements. Arguments to exclude such a source entirely must be strong and convincing.}}
 * {{legend|#FFFFDD|Achtung-orange.svg Additional considerations: The source is marginally reliable (i.e. neither generally reliable nor generally unreliable), and may be usable depending on context. Editors may not have been able to agree on whether the source is appropriate, or may have agreed that it is only reliable in certain circumstances. It will likely be necessary to evaluate each use of the source on a case-by-case basis while accounting for specific factors unique to the source in question. Carefully review the Summary column of the table for details on the status of the source and the factors that should be considered.}}
 * {{legend|#FFDDDD|Argentina - NO symbol.svg Generally unreliable: Editors show consensus that the source is questionable in most cases. The source may lack an editorial team, have a poor reputation for fact-checking, fail to correct errors, be self-published, or present user-generated content. Outside exceptional circumstances, the source should normally not be used, and it should never be used for information about a living person. Even in cases where the source may be valid, it is usually better to find a more reliable source instead. If no such source exists, that may suggest that the information is inaccurate.}}
 * {{legend|#FFBBBB|2=Stop hand.svg Deprecated: There is community consensus to deprecate the source. The source is considered generally unreliable, and use of the source is generally prohibited. Despite this, the source may potentially be able to be used for some uncontroversial self-descriptions, although reliable secondary sources are still very much preferred.}}
 * Pictogram voting wait.svg Discussion in progress: The source is currently being discussed. Italic numbers represent active discussions (all discussions that are not closed or archived) on the reliable sources noticeboard. Letters represent discussions outside of the reliable sources noticeboard.
