[edit] December
[edit] Week 1
[edit] 95P.INVEST
A 95P just popped up, near 11.8S 159.8E. --Coredesat 23:32, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) 15kt, 1006 mb. -- RattleMan 23:34, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- may affect northeastern Australia, Brisbane BOM said Dec 6th, not expected to develop into a significate system. -- グリフオーザー 01:49, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
Gone. --Coredesat 21:10, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

6S 65E. – Chacor 12:06, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Category numbers in infoboxes
May I ask how do you justify what are the category numbers for these cyclones. How did you get Xavier to be a Cat. 4, and Yani to be a Cat. 1? The Fiji Meteorological Service does not use 1-min wind speeds for measuring cyclones, it uses 10-min. You can't just simply convert 10-min speeds to 1-min speeds, because its original research, I think. RaNdOm26 16:37, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
- It's probably the JTWC category, which is what we usually put there because that part of the infobox doesn't work well with 10-min speeds at the moment. --Coredesat 17:41, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
- It's the JTWC category, yes. Same thing occurs with infoboxes at the typhoon season. When we add on to the current infobox to add capability to support SHem storms it'll be changed. – Chacor 00:31, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
- Don't we think we should begin changing the infobox then to accommodate with the specific categories for Fiji, Australian and Reunion centres? RaNdOm26 06:59, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
- It's the JTWC category, yes. Same thing occurs with infoboxes at the typhoon season. When we add on to the current infobox to add capability to support SHem storms it'll be changed. – Chacor 00:31, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Southern Hemisphere" should not be capitalized
I edited this article to make "southern hemisphere" lower case, which is consistent with everyday usage and the Wikipedia Manual of Style. User:Chacor reverted my edits. I added the edits back. Chacor then reverted my edits a second time. I was then ordered by User:Coredesat not to make the edit again without talking about it here first. But the first time I tried to talk about it here, my post was deleted by Chacor as "irrelevant trolling." So, here I am again with a revised post that hopefully constitutes neither irrelevancy nor trolling. It is clear to me that "Southern Hemisphere" in this article needs to be changed to "southern hemisphere." By the way, the main Tropical Cyclone article inconsistently uses both cases.

- First of all, I didn't order you to do anything. Secondly, we've capitalized it for a while, so it's a better idea to at least bring it up here first before going off and making changes that people may not agree with. I had a discussion with several people on this subject, and I was told that both the capitalized and decapitalized forms are acceptable depending on the context. I also did searches for various style guides, and when referring to it as a basin or region, it should be capitalized. Since we're referring to the region on Earth and not a general southern hemisphere (any spherical or near-spherical object can have a southern hemisphere), it should be capitalized here. --Coredesat 18:50, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
- Here is exactly what you said, "Don't change it without discussing it first." Maybe there's an implied "please" that I was clueless about. If so, I apologize. Anyway, could you please cite the source for capitalizing "southern hemisphere" when using the term to refer to a basin or region or when referring to the Earth's "southern hemisphere"? I'd like to read up on this. Thanks. Tennis expert 18:58, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
- Also, if I wanted to refer to your leg (as opposed to a generic human being's leg), should I say "Coredesat's Leg" or "Coredesat's leg"? I'm wondering where this capitalization principle should end. Tennis expert 19:09, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
