I am trying to make an info box for the project so we can start slapping on stickers for the project. Ummm NVM I see we have one so nvm... - WxHalo( T/ C) 03:46, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
I stumbled across this article tonight, could use some cleanup work. October 24-26, 1997 Western Plains winter storms Gopher backer ( talk) 07:03, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Is it too early to create a new portal for non-tropical storms?-- JForget 01:54, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Hey, I have created an IRC channel for this, and other similar projects. Like the one at the Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical cyclones, anybody can use it. Just go to this site, put your wikiname as your nick name, put irc.freenode.net as the server, and put #wiki-weather as the channel. Hope to see you there. Juliancolton ( talk) 21:39, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Like with the tropical cyclone project, if you are going to include a few individual storm cases as core articles, they should be interspersed globally. In other words, we have too many North American cases (by more than a couple) and too few cases (by more than a couple) from Eurasia, South America, Africa, and Australia. This should be resolved as a community. I suggest removing 2-3 of the North American cases, unless you plan on having 10+ individual cases from other continents included in the core article list to balance out the NA cases. Thegreatdr ( talk) 20:09, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
In regards to the winter storm this weekend, I may be out elsewhere and I won't be able to do updates on Storm Watch in the 2007-08 winter storm article, nor I will be able to launch an article. Of course, we will have to wait on major impacts before starting it. Among the possible names for the possible article would include: Blizzard of March 2008, March 2008 North American Storm Complex, March 2008 North American winter storm or March 2008 Nor'easter or potentially March 2008 weather bomb.

As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria and I'm specifically going over all of the "Meteorology and atmospheric sciences" articles. I have reviewed North American ice storm of 1998 and believe the article currently meets the majority of the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. I have left this message at this WikiProject's talk page so that any interested members can assist in helping the article keep its GA status. In reviewing the article, I have found there are some issues concerning sourcing that may need to be addressed, and I'll leave the article on hold for seven days for them to be fixed. I have left messages on the talk pages of the main contributors of the article along with other WikiProjects. Please consider helping address the several points that I listed on the talk page of the article, which shouldn't take too long to fix if multiple editors assist in the workload. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Happy editing! -- Nehrams2020 ( talk) 02:11, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
It looks like we will need an article for the midwest flood. Vanderburgh and Posey counties in Indiana have declared states of emergency. In Evansville, the county seat of Vanderburgh County, there are over 70 roads under water. I suggest the name March 2008 Midwest floods. I can help work on the article during evenings, and all next week. Southern Illinois SKYWARN ( talk) 02:29, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level. The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.
Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at Category:C-Class_articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.
Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme. This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year. Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme!

Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.
We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations.
A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.
We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks! For the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial team, SelectionBot 23:20, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Yesterday, I read the article. It needs to be updated. I can not do an article for Early-Mid October Sierra Storms (2008-09) without updates. It only talks about predictions.

I have posted a proposal at WikiProject Meteorology to start a combined A-class WikiProject assessment for the Meteorology, Severe weather, and Non-tropical storms. Comments from anyone would be appreciated at the discussion here.- Running On Brains 08:23, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.
All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. — Delievered by §hepBot ( Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 06:10, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows ( full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.
If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to
report bugs and
request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a
"news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none
parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at
Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.
Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here.
