A fact from Cirrus cloud appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 3 February 2011 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Just a quick note... the link "Earth's Clouds" doesn't exist. Should we replace with just "Clouds"? --12.205.145.117 (talk) 20:03, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Aviation and climate change
I have recently added a new article on Aviation and climate change which makes reference to cirrus clouds. I would like to add a reference to the new page to this one. I propose something like:
"If there are many cirrus clouds in the sky it may be a sign that a frontal system or upper air disturbance is approaching. Cirrus clouds can also be the remnants of a thunderstorm. A large shield of cirrus and cirrostratus typically accompanies the high altitude outflow of hurricanes/typhoons. Cirrus clouds have been observed to develop after the persistent formation of condensation trails from aircraft (see aviation and climate change)".Normalmouth 21:28, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Cirrus intortus
Cirrus intortus redirects here, but it is never talked about or even mentioned. The High Fin Sperm Whale (talk) 01:53, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

OK, I've now expanded the article 5x. :) Reaper Eternal (talk) 20:30, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
There appears to be a typo in the first section, re/ the text "range from 1 ice crystal per 10,000 liters (3 ice crystals per gallon) to 10,000 ice crystals per liter (32,000 ice crystals per gallon)". I think that 1 crystal per 10,000 liters (3 crystals per gallon) is intended to be 1 crystal per liter (3 crystals per gallon). However, 1 gallon is also ~3.78 liters, so the conversion of 3.2 in the second phrase (10,000->32,000) doesn't make much sense, either. I am not implementing these fixes, as I'm not a cirrus-cloud expert, just pointing out the inconsistencies. --Anon/ 3-Feb2011
