Can we get some of these NOAA images on the page?
https://twitter.com/search?q=cyclone%20pam&src=typd&mode=photos — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.152.114.160 ( talk) 01:20, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
Hey, I made an edit to this talk page suggesting images from NOAA. Someone deleted it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.152.114.160 ( talk) 02:41, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
The lead section, admittedly partially by my fault, is getting cluttered with a lot of superlatives. It's probably time to discuss what we should and should not mention, especially since we're now more sure of its peak intensity (it most certainly won't beat the intensities it had achieved yesterday UTC).-- Jasper Deng (talk) 08:07, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
I have now added the section five times, repeatedly removed or reverted: rkerver 15 March 2015 (UTC)
It is an extreme weather event and must be cited as such. Please desist from the reversion of this edit. It remains an important contribution for the understanding of this cyclone.
I dispute your contention that it is not relevant. Please stop deleting it or reverting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rkerver ( talk • contribs) 16:13, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
rkerver: please suggest a friendly edit on this page that includes both the term "extreme weather" and the citation of the article provided. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rkerver ( talk • contribs) 16:20, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
Weather events are a POV statement, they belong in an "analysis" section like Hurricane Katrina and global warming. In that article, only editors with wiki pages are given WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV statements. The SMH source is not a very good one, better source would be comments about Japan and other developed nations creating funds to help developing nations deal with natural disasters (Eg CS Monitor or worldbank Japan Times).
This material is DUE but belongs in a responses/future preparations section. -- Aronzak ( talk) 16:46, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
The current UN conference in Sendai is World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction -- Aronzak ( talk) 17:06, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

The climate debate now happening is, for the rest of the world, one of the most interesting aspects of the Cyclone Pam. It needs to be treated as such. Thanks for understanding.

I removed PNG references, as there would be no physical way the storm would have had noticable winds over 1200 km away.

I agree with the IP that Pam probably didn't cause the floods in PNG. Here we run into a problem where it was reported, but now we need another source officially saying Pam didn't cause the death in PNG. Ideally, that would come in the form of a RC document saying where Pam caused deaths, or that the initial reports were wrong. I think the PNG should stay in until there is consensus otherwise.

Hi folks. I'm sorry to say I haven't got time to perform a comprehensive cleanup, but could someone please address the numerous falsehoods and inaccuracies on this page. Specifically, the claim that people were drinking seawater on Moso has been debunked, the number of houses affected is NOT 90% nationally, it is 90% of homes in Port Vila, the capital. There was never a point where only one communications tower was functional. The current official estimate of the affected population is 188,000, as of a press release issued to media today.
