Because coastal watches and warnings are out. Titoxd( ?!? - cool stuff) 09:36, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I tried to update the commons image as usual, but the NHC image is screwed up and the commons image has been protected, see commons:User talk:Keith Edkins. Thanks. ~ A H 1( T C U) 18:05, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
- They protected it because the admin wants us to upload a new image for each advisory, which is rediculous. - CWY2190( talk • contributions) 18:11, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
- Responded to that guy's message with a situation I had before. -- RattleMan 18:13, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
- That is absurd. Just upload them locally as

- While I wonder how on Earth that's a personal attack (if the Wikimedia Commons decides to make it hard on us to update images, then we're just not going to use Commons), I'm commenting there as well. Titoxd( ?!? - cool stuff) 18:27, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

- Hi. One more question, is the NHC issuing 2am, 8am, 2pm, and 8pm advisories for this storm? If so, then why was the advisory at 11am advisory 3 and the 5pm advisory 4, and when does NHC usually start issuing 3-hour advisories? Also, why was the previous image screwed up and will it happen again? Thanks. ~

- The intermediate advisories are issued whenever there are watches and/or warnings in effect. A full advisory is issued at 3z, 9z, 15z, and 21z (11p, 5a, 11a, 5p EDT). In this case, the 11a advisory was #3, the 2p intermediate advisory was #3a, and the full 5p advisory was #4. - CWY2190( talk • contributions) 22:40, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose):
b (
MoS):
In the "Storm history" section, you say "Cristobal remained a fairly weak tropical storm as it tracked adjacent to the Carolina coast, although Cristobal never made landfall. ". Please reword this to avoid using "Cristobal" twice in the same sentence.In the "Impact" section, you say "224 mm (8.8 in) of rain was reported at Baccaro Point". Starting sentences with numerals is discouraged.
- Both of them done. – Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 12:55, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

verifiable.
- a (references): b (citations to
reliable sources):
c (
OR):
- In references where you have both the first and last name of the author, the last name should come first.
- Unless I'm missing something, there's nothing that requires that. If you know of a guideline, could you point me to it? – Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 12:55, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
- I guess I never realized that a guideline was needed for this. Last name, first name is how authors are always cited in academic papers from all disciplines, books, and in all citation styling. If you look at WP:REF you will see that every time they give a reference example, the format is last name, first name. Dana boomer ( talk) 13:52, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
- I understand, but I still fail to see last name, first name a requirement. – Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 16:18, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
- When in doubt, use |last= and |first= instead of |author=, and have the people who write the citation templates deal with the issue. I fixed the references. Titoxd( ?!? - cool stuff) 18:39, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
- a (references):
- It is broad in its coverage.

There is no naming section. This is because it's a 2008 storm and they haven't released the naming reports yet, true?
