It was not me who removed the remnant low parameter from Fantala's article, so please do not accuse me of such.-- Jasper Deng (talk) 01:57, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
Just wanted to say, why didn't you made this edit about years ago? As you may see in previous seasons articles, it is in MDY format. So are you sure about this and do you want me to switch most articles to DMY format? It's ok Meow if I do that by myself, I just feel bored atm in Wiki because of a lack of cyclones. Typhoon2013 (talk) 03:47, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
Sorry Meow I was editing a lot of things simultaneously at that time, and forgot about 01W. Thank you for spotting it and renaming it first. I promise I will make sure the numbering and naming will be right. Typhoon2013 (talk) 03:14, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi. I am planning to help in making storm tracks for the project. Ok, so far I have 1) Created a GitHub account, 2) went to [git clone git://github.com/titoxd/wptc-track.git this] and 3) Clicked 'Clone or Download'... Am I doing it right so far? If so, since I've already downloaded it, I have 3 files (data, png and tracks). Where do I go and what do I do now? Typhoon2013 (talk) 08:57, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
On 23 July 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Typhoon Nepartak (2016), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a 205 km/h (127 mph) gust of wind in Taitung County, Taiwan, during Typhoon Nepartak (pictured) on July 8, 2016, is the highest recorded in the county? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Typhoon Nepartak (2016). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Typhoon Nepartak (2016)), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi Meow. Just letting you know that recently me and JD had discussed about updating the season timelines, and we confirmed that we should update the timeline if it's the next day as of the UTC time (or update it during or after 00Z). The reason behind this was because I saw many users updating the timeline around the 20-23Z mark, which is too early and has not happened according to that time zone, and therefore I followed them. Then recently I got warned by another user foe doing it, then during the next day, he does it. So it made me confusing. Thanks!! Typhoon2013 (talk) 08:49, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
Hello! Since i never have a favor for you, can i have one? Typhoon2013 is using Ipad or something, so i can't have another favor for him. Can you upload the SNPP image of TS Darby, TS Estelle, TS Frank and TD 08E (But now Hurricane Georgette) from the gallery? it can't fit on our laptop. The others is my job. if your'e okay for that, so TY! - Nino Marakot ( talk ) 10:44, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Typhoon Nida (2016), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page National Meteorological Center. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi, Meow and thanks for your edit. Just wondering, the JMA is somehow tracking a TD east of the basin. If the system does not enter the basin, do we add it in or put it in the Other systems section? I'm thinking the Other systems section because this is also what happened in 2010. Typhoon2013 (talk) 08:45, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
Meow, I was thinking that a depression over Bangladesh is gonna classify it as Deep Depression BOB 04 . But let me tell you. It was just the remnants of Tropical Storm Dianmu that we monitored on Western Pacific. If the IMD dosen't upgrade it, i was just a fool. But just letting you know. - Nino Marakot ( talk) 11:03, 21 August 2016 (UTC)
Hi Meow. You recently made an edit considering that Lionrock is now a cat3. I wanted to know what source you are using just so I could help update. The only similar source so far is the one what Jasper is using. Thanks so much. Typhoon2013 (talk) 07:26, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
Hi Meow @ Typhoon2013: @ Jason Rees:, can you help me built the article about Typhoon Lionrock? I do appreciate if I could use some help once more again. Thank you. Hamham31 Heke! KushKush! 01:24, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
Yes my reasons matter. Why do you think I reverted you twice. I can easily remove the missing corner and still have a presentable image. And my color correction "theory" is a real thing. Images taken from satellites need atmospheric correction to remove the blue haze that is present in your Himawari-8 image. While I don't have a link to the exact image you posted would look like with this correction, I do have one taken from earlier yesterday. This is close to what the image should look like with with atmospheric correction. Supportstorm ( talk) 14:55, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
The daytime true color portion of the product is created by first performing a Rayleigh correction on the red, green, and blue visible bands, in addition to the 0.86 micrometer "veggie band." This serves to correct for atmospheric scattering and results in a much more crisp image. Since Himawari's green band is centered at 0.51 micrometers, a bit different than the green band on VIIRS and MODIS (0.55 micrometers), a little information from the 0.86 micrometer band 4 is blended with the 0.51 micrometer band in order to make vegetated areas the correct shade of green. Finally, some information from the 10.4 micrometer band 13 is used to estimate cloud top height and to correct some assumptions related to Rayleigh scattering at steep look angles. At night, a static city lights background derived from the VIIRS Day Night Band is combined with data from the 10.4 micrometer band 13 and the 3.9 micrometer band 7. Liquid water clouds are highlighted by shades of red and ice clouds are shades of gray. The cloud layer is given a variable level of transparency depending on the height of the clouds, with high ice clouds being the least transparent.
From what I can tell that band is used to correct the green channel since apparently the satellite can't capture the true range of the green spectrum. Even more reason I'm against using the uncalibrated Himawari-8 images. Anyway the way you treat me and others certitude is what is making me mad right now. You refuse to even consider outside argument of any kind and I felt I've had similar talks with you before. Supportstorm ( talk) 17:58, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

The five scales: [1] - Knowledgekid87 ( talk) 18:12, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
I've noticed you've worked on Template:Infobox hurricane somewhat, and I was wondering if I could get some help with something. I've been trying to create a fictional scale with the inclusion of hypercanes (color and wind speed; which is set to 434 kts, are already set), which I know are fictional right now, but I feel like I wanna make something in my sandbox that documents the first recorded one (imo ive decided to set it in the year 2064). However every possible solution I have tried has resulted in nothing, with the example having still saying "Category 5 major hurricane (SSHWS/NWS)" rather then "Hypercane (SSHWS/HWS)". I was wondering if maybe you can try to help make it so it will work properly? -- MarioProtIV ( talk/ contribs) 23:00, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

Did you know that you can easily re-arrange columns and rows in the visual editor?
Select a cell in the column or row that you want to move. Click the arrow at the start of that row or column to open the dropdown menu (shown). Choose either "Move before" or "Move after" to move the column, or "Move above" or "Move below" to move the row.
You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.
Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has mainly worked on a new wikitext editor. They have also released some small features and the new map editing tool. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. You can find links to the list of work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, releasing the 2017 wikitext editor as a beta feature, and improving language support.
The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the remaining 10 "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next month. The developers want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. This will affect several languages, including Thai, Burmese and Aramaic.
The team is working on a modern wikitext editor. The 2017 wikitext editor will look like the visual editor and be able to use the citoid service and other modern tools. This new editing system may become available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices in October 2016. You can read about this project in a general status update on the Wikimedia mailing list.
Do you teach new editors how to use the visual editor? Did you help set up the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki? Have you written or imported TemplateData for your most important citation templates? Would you be willing to help new editors and small communities with the visual editor? Please sign up for the new VisualEditor Community Taskforce.

Hi, Meow. So according to the JMA BT for Aere, the storm dissipated on Oct 10. Although its remnants re-generated on Oct 13 but only JTWC classified it as a the same system. Do we put Aere's dissipation date on Oct 10 or 14? Also because some say that we follow the RSMC Dates. Typhoon2013 (talk) 06:54, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi and I've decided to see you because you're pretty much the "image expert" in this project, hehe. But anyways, for Hurricane Nicole, I've lately uploaded an image of it because that image was closer to peak and during that time it was a Category 3 (there are no images I could find during Cat4/peak). Also the other image, or the original one was during Category 2 intensity. What I've thought is that if there are no images during its peak, then the image should be close to peak and its highest intensity. So apparently I added in the image in Nicole's infobox though someone is trying to revert me and don't disagree. Image could be "low-quality" he said, but I don't know so help I guess, thanks.

Although advisories for particular tropical cyclones are limited to the 6-hourly times, the daily tropical disturbance summary is issued at 9z and may contain information different from the advisories themselves. For example, the summary says Donna has 85-knot 10-minute winds, whereas the preceding tropical disturbance advisory for Donna indicated 75 knots. In particular, it explicitly mentions 9z as the time of analysis. As this is still the RSMC's word, it counts.-- Jasper Deng (talk) 11:24, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Meow. I just want to clarify or know what is an "ex-tropical cyclone"? If a storm, or cyclone (mostly used by BoM), had weakened to an "exTc", does it mean it weakened into a remnant low, or does it still count that it is still active? Typhoon2013 (talk) 09:08, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
While I agree with some of your reasoning, I disagree that it shouldn't be cited because it is notable and is official, regardless of its circustances. Also, the Dvorak technique there's a lower bias on minimum sea-level pressure for the Western Pacific, but that doens't impede us to call Typhoon Tip as the most intense tropical cyclone ever recorded worldwide, while that by your arguments, it wouldn't be proper to compare it to storms from other basins.

Hi, again. So this same user says "to do it manually" for the current infobox in the movement section. In the WPac, like we always do before, we put the "convert" template, so it could convert it for us, right? But this guy wants to do it manually. Would you still want to use the "convert" template or have a change and do it manually like the PHS and AHS basins? Typhoon2013 (talk) 22:23, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
Hi, Meow and it's kinda been a long time. But do you still upload images, or edit? Because I barely see your name in the View history box.

Hi, I noticed one of your hobbies is translating. I recently acquired a book listing several hundred typhoons affecting Guangdong Province from the year 975 into the 1900s, which is pretty much entirely in (traditional) Chinese. I had planned on using it as a starting point to write an article/list about Pre-1900 WPAC typhoons, but it's a big task. Are you interested in working on it? I'm also not sure how I should format the dates either, because most of the typhoons only list a (presumably) Chinese lunar calendar year, but several important ones list a day which can be converted. atomic 7732 22:52, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

Just wanted to say, why didn't you made this edit about years ago? As you may see in previous seasons articles, it is in MDY format. So are you sure about this and do you want me to switch most articles to DMY format? It's ok Meow if I do that by myself, I just feel bored atm in Wiki because of a lack of cyclones.

Hi. I am planning to help in making storm tracks for the project. Ok, so far I have 1) Created a GitHub account, 2) went to [git clone git://github.com/titoxd/wptc-track.git this] and 3) Clicked 'Clone or Download'... Am I doing it right so far? If so, since I've already downloaded it, I have 3 files (data, png and tracks). Where do I go and what do I do now? Typhoon2013 (talk) 08:57, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
On 23 July 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Typhoon Nepartak (2016), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a 205 km/h (127 mph) gust of wind in Taitung County, Taiwan, during Typhoon Nepartak (pictured) on July 8, 2016, is the highest recorded in the county? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Typhoon Nepartak (2016). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Typhoon Nepartak (2016)), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi Meow. Just letting you know that recently me and JD had discussed about updating the season timelines, and we confirmed that we should update the timeline if it's the next day as of the UTC time (or update it during or after 00Z). The reason behind this was because I saw many users updating the timeline around the 20-23Z mark, which is too early and has not happened according to that time zone, and therefore I followed them. Then recently I got warned by another user foe doing it, then during the next day, he does it. So it made me confusing. Thanks!! Typhoon2013 (talk) 08:49, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi, Meow and thanks for your edit. Just wondering, the JMA is somehow tracking a TD east of the basin. If the system does not enter the basin, do we add it in or put it in the Other systems section? I'm thinking the Other systems section because this is also what happened in 2010. Typhoon2013 (talk) 08:45, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Yes my reasons matter. Why do you think I reverted you twice. I can easily remove the missing corner and still have a presentable image. And my color correction "theory" is a real thing. Images taken from satellites need atmospheric correction to remove the blue haze that is present in your Himawari-8 image. While I don't have a link to the exact image you posted would look like with this correction, I do have one taken from earlier yesterday. This is close to what the image should look like with with atmospheric correction. Supportstorm ( talk) 14:55, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
The daytime true color portion of the product is created by first performing a Rayleigh correction on the red, green, and blue visible bands, in addition to the 0.86 micrometer "veggie band." This serves to correct for atmospheric scattering and results in a much more crisp image. Since Himawari's green band is centered at 0.51 micrometers, a bit different than the green band on VIIRS and MODIS (0.55 micrometers), a little information from the 0.86 micrometer band 4 is blended with the 0.51 micrometer band in order to make vegetated areas the correct shade of green. Finally, some information from the 10.4 micrometer band 13 is used to estimate cloud top height and to correct some assumptions related to Rayleigh scattering at steep look angles. At night, a static city lights background derived from the VIIRS Day Night Band is combined with data from the 10.4 micrometer band 13 and the 3.9 micrometer band 7. Liquid water clouds are highlighted by shades of red and ice clouds are shades of gray. The cloud layer is given a variable level of transparency depending on the height of the clouds, with high ice clouds being the least transparent.
From what I can tell that band is used to correct the green channel since apparently the satellite can't capture the true range of the green spectrum. Even more reason I'm against using the uncalibrated Himawari-8 images. Anyway the way you treat me and others certitude is what is making me mad right now. You refuse to even consider outside argument of any kind and I felt I've had similar talks with you before. Supportstorm ( talk) 17:58, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

The five scales: [1] - Knowledgekid87 ( talk) 18:12, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
I've noticed you've worked on Template:Infobox hurricane somewhat, and I was wondering if I could get some help with something. I've been trying to create a fictional scale with the inclusion of hypercanes (color and wind speed; which is set to 434 kts, are already set), which I know are fictional right now, but I feel like I wanna make something in my sandbox that documents the first recorded one (imo ive decided to set it in the year 2064). However every possible solution I have tried has resulted in nothing, with the example having still saying "Category 5 major hurricane (SSHWS/NWS)" rather then "Hypercane (SSHWS/HWS)". I was wondering if maybe you can try to help make it so it will work properly? -- MarioProtIV ( talk/ contribs) 23:00, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

Did you know that you can easily re-arrange columns and rows in the visual editor?
Select a cell in the column or row that you want to move. Click the arrow at the start of that row or column to open the dropdown menu (shown). Choose either "Move before" or "Move after" to move the column, or "Move above" or "Move below" to move the row.
You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.
Since the last newsletter, the VisualEditor Team has mainly worked on a new wikitext editor. They have also released some small features and the new map editing tool. Their workboard is available in Phabricator. You can find links to the list of work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, releasing the 2017 wikitext editor as a beta feature, and improving language support.
The visual editor will be offered to all editors at the remaining 10 "Phase 6" Wikipedias during the next month. The developers want to know whether typing in your language feels natural in the visual editor. Please post your comments and the language(s) that you tested at the feedback thread on mediawiki.org. This will affect several languages, including Thai, Burmese and Aramaic.
The team is working on a modern wikitext editor. The 2017 wikitext editor will look like the visual editor and be able to use the citoid service and other modern tools. This new editing system may become available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices in October 2016. You can read about this project in a general status update on the Wikimedia mailing list.
Do you teach new editors how to use the visual editor? Did you help set up the Citoid automatic reference feature for your wiki? Have you written or imported TemplateData for your most important citation templates? Would you be willing to help new editors and small communities with the visual editor? Please sign up for the new VisualEditor Community Taskforce.

Hi, Meow. So according to the JMA BT for Aere, the storm dissipated on Oct 10. Although its remnants re-generated on Oct 13 but only JTWC classified it as a the same system.

Hi and I've decided to see you because you're pretty much the "image expert" in this project, hehe. But anyways, for Hurricane Nicole, I've lately uploaded an image of it because that image was closer to peak and during that time it was a Category 3 (there are no images I could find during Cat4/peak). Also the other image, or the original one was during Category 2 intensity. What I've thought is that if there are no images during its peak, then the image should be close to peak and its highest intensity. So apparently I added in the image in Nicole's infobox though someone is trying to revert me and don't disagree. Image could be "low-quality" he said, but I don't know so help I guess, thanks.

Although advisories for particular tropical cyclones are limited to the 6-hourly times, the daily tropical disturbance summary is issued at 9z and may contain information different from the advisories themselves. For example, the summary says Donna has 85-knot 10-minute winds, whereas the preceding tropical disturbance advisory for Donna indicated 75 knots. In particular, it explicitly mentions 9z as the time of analysis. As this is still the RSMC's word, it counts.-- Jasper Deng (talk) 11:24, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Meow. I just want to clarify or know what is an "ex-tropical cyclone"? If a storm, or cyclone (mostly used by BoM), had weakened to an "exTc", does it mean it weakened into a remnant low, or does it still count that it is still active? Typhoon2013 (talk) 09:08, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
While I agree with some of your reasoning, I disagree that it shouldn't be cited because it is notable and is official, regardless of its circustances. Also, the Dvorak technique there's a lower bias on minimum sea-level pressure for the Western Pacific, but that doens't impede us to call Typhoon Tip as the most intense tropical cyclone ever recorded worldwide, while that by your arguments, it wouldn't be proper to compare it to storms from other basins.

Hi, again. So this same user says "to do it manually" for the current infobox in the movement section.

Hi, I noticed one of your hobbies is translating. I recently acquired a book listing several hundred typhoons affecting Guangdong Province from the year 975 into the 1900s, which is pretty much entirely in (traditional) Chinese. I had planned on using it as a starting point to write an article/list about Pre-1900 WPAC typhoons, but it's a big task. Are you interested in working on it? I'm also not sure how I should format the dates either, because most of the typhoons only list a (presumably) Chinese lunar calendar year, but several important ones list a day which can be converted. atomic 7732 22:52, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

This screenshot shows the same edit as the wikitext diff. The visual diff highlights the removal of one word and the addition of a new sentence. An arrow indicates that the paragraph changed location.
You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.
Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has spent most of their time supporting the 2017 wikitext editor mode, which is available inside the visual editor as a Beta Feature, and improving the visual diff tool. Their work board is available in Phabricator. You can find links to the work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, supporting the 2017 wikitext editor, and improving the visual diff tool.
<references />
block can
automatically display long lists of references in columns on wide screens. This makes footnotes easier to read. This has already been enabled at the English Wikipedia. If you want columns for a long list of footnotes on this wiki, you can use either <references />
or the plain (no parameters) {{reflist}}
template. If you edit a different wiki, you can
request multi-column support for your wiki.

Hello Meow. Would you mind defining what you mean by 'ratio' in the context in which you used it here, and in many other places when completely disregarding all statements I make about an image. ChocolateTrain ( talk) 23:49, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
