[edit] 1947 storm

I reverted your changes to 1947 Fort Lauderdale Hurricane because they directly contradict what the NHC reference says. Jdorje 22:51, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] units

Please convert your units to imperial and provide metric too. So don't give nautical miles or knots, convert to miles and give km alongside. Jdorje 01:32, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

We don't need knots in AHS articles! Give mph and km/h. — jdorje (talk) 02:27, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] welcome

Welcome!

Hello, CapeVerdeWave, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!  ℬastique▼parℓer♥voir♑ 02:35, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Boca Raton

I notice you mention a Sun-Sentinel article in your modifications. Would you mind providing the date and title of the article. There is also a particular way to format citations. Read all about it here WP:CITE. ℬastique▼parℓer♥voir♑ 02:36, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Also, for the Boca Raton Airport article. Thank you. -- Dalbury(Talk) 18:10, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 1928 Okeechobee Hurricane

I'm also reverting your change to this storm (mentioning the Saintes Islands) because it is not verifiable. — jdorje (talk) 07:02, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Please, please, please include sources in things that you write. — jdorje (talk) 07:06, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Floyd

I'm also reverting your changes to this article, since what you wrote conflicts with the source that is currently cited. (However, I'm glad to see you've made some good contributions elsewhere that you have cited sources for. Keep it up.) — jdorje (talk) 03:31, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cape Verde

Just to make sure this doesn't happen again, but don't say "Cape Verde Islands". The name of the country is Cape Verde, as you know. If I was talking about the islands of Japan, I say the Japanese islands, not Japanese Islands. --Golbez 05:48, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] sources

Please add sources for the additions you are making to the AHS articles. These articles all have terrible sources, and the longer we wait before we start adding sources the harder it will be. Adding sources to an article that doesn't have them is as hard as writing that article from scratch. So...basically all of the AHS writing we have will have to be redone. — jdorje (talk) 22:55, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Hurricane Inez from Space sma.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Hurricane Inez from Space sma.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 20:57, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Image-Inez_radar_image_bands.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Image-Inez_radar_image_bands.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

How do I add a copyright tag to the existing image, then? CapeVerdeWave 04:00, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
EDIT - I've figured out how to do it and have added a tag. Thanks. CapeVerdeWave 04:06, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bud and Carlotta images

We appericate your help on getting storm images for Hurricane Bud and Tropical Storm Carlotta of the 2006 Pacific hurricane season, but I ask you if you can give out higher resolution images like 1024 X 1024 px images rather than tiny 350 X 350 px images. Alastor Moody (talk) 01:40, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hold up!

Please have a gander at the previous discussion about an article on Saomai. Chacor 17:23, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

You might also want to leave a note to User:Coredesat, as he's working on something here. Perhaps work with him? Chacor 17:27, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Debris in 1929 Atlantic hurricane season

Debris is a mass, or uncountable, noun (see the Wiktionary definition at http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/debris), and therefore is grammatically singular. To say 'debris were' is ungrammatical, just as 'rice were', 'dirt were' and 'lumber were' are all ungrammatical. -- Donald Albury 14:01, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:CapeVerdeWave/Sandbox

I see you're working on Tropical Storm Jerry, so here's some links that might be able to help you.

Hope that helps a bit. Hurricanehink (talk) 21:14, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! Do you like my work on the article so far? I'm still compiling the data for the preparations and impact sections, so that's why they aren't added (complete) yet. Is the organization of the article good so far, and is the sourcing and style of writing crisp and well-organized, and is information for the introduction and storm history sections good? CapeVerdeWave 12:27, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Yea, it's pretty good so far. Be sure not to use nautical miles (the WPTC doesn't like using them). Remember to keep preparations in the preparations section; tropical cyclone watches and warnings are generally considered preps. Good job using the discussions, though try combining sentences and paragraphs so it doesn't look so long. Length is good sometimes, but a storm like Jerry might be good to have just three paragraphs (maybe 1 for impetus to developing as a TD, 1 for TD to peak strength, one for peak to dissipation). I'm not sure both of the images are needed at the bottom; the pic of it dissipating isn't that interesting. Good luck finishing it. Hurricanehink (talk) 17:59, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Just some things: there should be no space between the last letter, or punctuation, and a <ref>. Secondly, all units should preferably have conversions (so if you do want to use nmi, it should be mi and km). Thirdly, AM and PM should, in accordance with Wikipedia style, prefarably be a.m. and p.m., and finally, all times preferably should have a UTC equivalent. BTW, "EST" should be "AST" or "EDT" in that article, because it occurred during daylight savings. Hope these little things help in writing a great article. – Chacor 01:16, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Minor edits

I'm not sure if you're aware of it or if you intentionally did this, but all of your edits are marked as minor edits. Minor edits are generally only small edits such as spelling fixes or other small fixes. Most of your recent edits have added content to articles, which isn't minor. I just wanted to bring this to your attention. Hurricanehink (talk) 04:07, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Oh, OK. Thanks for clarification. I was curious about that myself. CapeVerdeWave 13:14, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
If you want, you can change it in your preferences. Hurricanehink (talk) 20:12, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
