I can not pass the article untill the Image for deleation process has come to a satisfactory conclusion, however i feel it is up to a GA Standard and will pass once that image deleation has been sorted out. Jason Rees ( talk) 03:52, 13 February 2009 (UTC) reply

Where do the wind speeds for IMD come from? If it's from that NCDC site, I don't think they were meant to be used that way. Hurricanehink said they were in 1-minute format, but that needs to be investigated. Also, I believe the intensity scale for north Indian Ocean cyclones was modified and took effect in 1999. I don't think there is anything stronger than a 'severe cyclonic storm' in this season. Potapych ( talk) 06:32, 13 February 2009 (UTC) reply

According to an ATCR from a recent season, the classifications match up perfectly with those intensities. Cyclone biskit 18:52, 13 February 2009 (UTC) reply

What ATCR and what classifications? Potapych ( talk) 19:47, 13 February 2009 (UTC) reply

This one and by classifications I mean depression, deep depression, cyclonic storm, severe cyclonic storm, and very severe cyclonic storm. Cyclone biskit 19:54, 13 February 2009 (UTC) reply

That one just covers a more recent season. I saw the Operation Manual for 1999 before they took it down and it mentioned that it was implementing a new scale for that season. Look at the 1970 season article for an example of the old one (taken from old copies of India Weather Review). However, I don't think you have the data entered in there correctly. We don't know what category these storms were. I would suggest using JTWC classifications for 1998 and earlier seasons (unless there are archived copies of IWR for that season).

I've removed the IMD intensities due to the uncertainty. Cyclone biskit 16:50, 15 February 2009 (UTC) reply

Since all my issues were resolved and Potapych seem to be resolved im passing this article Jason Rees ( talk) 01:01, 16 February 2009 (UTC) reply
