/* Hurricane Igor */

Sorry for changing the page. I am very intrested in hurricanes and those things, and I study them a lot. I heard from one of my friends that Igor was indeed a category 5 hurricane for a brief time, so I thought he had 160mph winds. I went on Wikipedia and saw that it said he only had 155mph, so I changed it because I thought it was wrong. I still think he was a cat.5, because the official winds a hurricane needs to have to be classified as a cat.5 is 156mph, so Igor's winds could have easily went up 1mph before he started weakening. I think they should either scale the winds by their real record(154mph,132mph), or downgrade the scale to 155mph and up is category 5. You can either agree with me, or disagree. I won't change the page anymore, but I won't change the fact that I think Igor was a category 5. This is kind of like what I've seen with hurricane Emily. Lots of places that I've been to on the internet say she was only a category 4 hurricane, but Wikipedia says she was a 5. Same thing with Hurricane Igor, only vice-versa. Many people say he was a 5, and some say he wasn't. And also, what happened with Hurricane Richard? I heard he was a category 1 hurricane with 90mph, but now Wikipedia says he was a category 2 with 100mph. Who changed it? Why can't it say that Igor was a category 5, when clearly he was? Just like it says on hurricane Vince's article, "If it looks like a hurricane, it probably is". Now look at hurricane Igor's picture.Ask yourself this: What does he look like, a category 4 hurricane, or a category 5 hurricane? And the eye? Wow! It looks like a category 5's eye to me! So if it looks like a category 5 hurricane, it probably is! Not being rude here, but I think Igor was a category 5 hurricane, and so do many others. Look at the intensity reports from hurricane Igor. They probably say 155mph winds in estimation, but what do they say without estimation? 156mph&157mph will estimate to 155. The Saffir-Simpson wind scale says category 5 is 156mph and up. If Igor's reports say 156mph 0r 157mph, then he was a category 5, no questions. There are hundreds of things that can prove Igor was a category 5 hurricane, and I can go on and on listing them, but I don't have the time to continue on, so thank you. Take in what I said about hurricane Igor please!

/* 2010 Atlantic hurricane season conflict */

Hello. Remember me? I'm the one from "2010 Atlantic hurricane season conflict". Well, I'm a member here now, since November 27. I'm not being impatient, but have those hurricane reports you were talking about come in yet? If they haven't, then when will they? Again, not being impatient, I'm just wondering. Thanks!--Ryder Busby (talk) 01:28, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

As you know, the National Hurricane Center is a very busy organization, even off season. So, it is going to take a while for all of them to come in. The ones available right now are: Tropical Depression 2, Tropical Storm Colin, Tropical Depression 5, Tropical Storm Fiona, Tropical Storm Hermine, Hurricane Lisa, and Hurricane Otto.

Some of the storms like Igor may not be out until the late Winter/early Spring of next year (January-April 2011). As I said above, the NHC is a very busy organization. Here is a link to keep track of them: Tropical Cyclone Reports. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 03:59, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Hey, is anyone going to write an article on Hurricane Lisa, because if not, I'd be happy to.--Ryder Busby (talk) 03:05, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Hurricane Season Buttons

Hey, I was wondering how to edit the hurricane season buttons. I'm not going to change any of them, I just want to make it where Hurricane Lisa's button goes to Hurricane Lisa (2010) article. Thanks,--Ryder Busby (talk) 03:06, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Ma-on infobox

How does the infobox not work? Right now it's showing the JTWC data, since JTWC uses 1-min which works for the SSHS. There should very much be the information at the top of the article with the latest storm information. That could only work with the current infobox. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:30, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Doesn't it also need to show JMA data? I've tried tinkering with the active template for quite some time now and I still haven't gotten it to work for all the basins. Plus, I don't think we ever use that template outside C/EPAC and ATL articles.Darren23^Edits|Mail 18:33, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

I don't think it absolutely needs to. If you think about it, people who might be reading the article in the coming days would be English-speaking tourists who would be more used to 1-min winds. People in Japan, who are used to 10-min and JMA, would be reading the Japanese article. And I don't think that's being small-minded or anything. I do think it'd be useful to have 1-min winds in the infobox. And yes, we have used the template outside of NOAA basins. It has been used regularly in the NIO, for example. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:40, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Regularly? It wasn't used completely last year when a storm was active and it had an article. I am fairly sure it wasn't used in WPAC either. And we can't just leave out stuff because "they're not reading this.". Darren23^Edits|Mail 18:49, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Alright, I was mistaken about NIO. However, what's wrong with using the current one? It provides an immediate indication where the storm is and how strong it is. If we do it in the Atlantic and EPAC, I don't see why we don't outside the basin. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:57, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Well, here's a proposal. How about only use RSMC data, without JTWC data. That solves the issue of having to have both in the same template, which is my main issue with it. Darren23^Edits|Mail 19:01, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Actually, looking at it again, I agree with you how it should only use the main infobox. It's not Wikipedia's job to keep people informed what is happening. If they know about the storm, Wikipedia isn't going to be able to help. It shouldn't be presented from any other disaster, even though it happens to be current. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:08, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

IRC

You should really come on at times.Jason Rees (talk) 00:52, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Okay, I'm going on tonight. Darren23^Edits|Mail 01:04, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Re: Favors

I think I understand your first request, basically if I put in a particular wind speed, the template will automatically know to display typhoon or STS or what ever it may be. I will look to see what I can do on that one. For the second part, are you refering to updating {{infobox hurricane current}}? --Holderca1 ^talk 00:38, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
