I would like to suggest that a comparison be done between what the bulletin predicted and the actual damage, to show how accurate the prediction was. - Montréalais 15:05, 21 July 2006 (UTC) (edit) |

- All those done, what's left to do is to pick a name that actually makes sense... Titoxd(?!?) 23:57, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
Wow, nice article on such an unusual subject. I wouldn't have thought that one Bulletin would warrent an article, but you did a great job making it encyclopediac. The name works, but should have a mention of Katrina in it. Hurricanehink (talk) 03:35, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Title changed
I hope you don't mind I've been a bit bold in changing the title, but the previous one was really overtechnical, and it is unlikely there exist any other individually notable National Weather Service bulletins for New Orleans. By the way, thanks for this excellent and informative article.--Pharos 21:58, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

- The title needs to be changed again. It should say "National Weather Service Bulletin for Louisiana/Mississippi. "That bulletin was not just for New Orleans, but for the entire NWS New Orleans/Baton Rouge warning area, which includes southeastern Louisiana and southern Mississippi. I will make changes in the article to reflect that. - --Bdj95 03:50, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
- True, but it was from the "New Orleans" office, so I still think we should go with that in the name. Is the region otherwise precisely defined?--Pharos 12:07, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
- Yes. Look here and down at the New Orleans forecast area, in the tan color. That's the area this was issued for. -WindRunner 13:09, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
- OK, then what if we call it "New Orleans region", then? Or maybe something else to that effect?--Pharos 13:16, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, that would probably work the best. WindRunner 15:30, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
- Sounds good go me. I didn't want the title/article to give an illusion that an entire region was ignored. And the actual office is "NWS New Orleans/Baton Rouge." - --Bdj95 19:06, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
