message: 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)

message: I mentioned this in a text note, but thought it could use a little more discussion.  The article uses multiple temperature abbreviations, for example, "This raises the temperature of the lower atmosphere beneath the cirrus clouds by an average of ."
In giving temperatures, the "R" abbreviation can mean the Rankine scale or the Réaumur scale.  While they're both (little-used) temperature scales, they are distinctly different measures.  I found myself scratching my head before I figured out just what was meant; I even thought it might be vandalism and looked around for the edit in which it (the vandalism) was committed.  I would suggest some less-ambiguous abbreviation for Rankine (which I eventually figured out was what was meant), such as the "Ra" mentioned in Wikipedia.

message: Remember that the lead of the article is supposed to be a summary of the content below.  For example, their formation from eyewalls in tropical cyclones is not touched upon in the lead...merely their presence near jet streams.  It would be a good idea to elaborate in how they are used in short term single station weather forecasting as they precede tropical cyclones.  The Cubans (and sailors) used to use this to great advantage when they forecasted (or avoided) TCs back in the late 19th century.  I added a line in about it...but more could be added, if the referencing can be found. Thegreatdr (talk) 23:53, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to  on Cirrus cloud. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add  after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add  to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
*Attempted to fix sourcing for http://chalk.richmond.edu/education/projects/webunits/weather/cirrus.html
*Attempted to fix sourcing for http://www.dri.edu/People/pat/webWPA/pdfdocs/CirrusGlory.pdf

message: I hope someone might take this on. Otherwise the article should probably have a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_article_review 
Also minor points: 
Should "level" be used instead of "étage"?
Does it matter that User:Headbomb/unreliable.js shows some books with warning yellow?

text: "Etage" is the correct technical term. I've linked it to wiktionary, and a brief parenthetical element explaining its meaning is already in the article. Reaper Eternal (talk) 18:32, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: They are under the "relation to other clouds" section to show differences between high-level clouds like cirrus and low- or mid-level clouds. I think they should stay. If I recall correctly, they were requested as part of the FAC because people wanted comparisons for what makes a cloud "high". Reaper Eternal (talk) 22:10, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Should the mid-étage and low-étage paragraphs be removed? 

message: Not sure my change from "middle latitudes" was correct. As Antarctica is mentioned in body could we say in lead tropical height and height "elsewhere"? Or as height numbers mentioned in first para can we avoid further numbers in lead and just say that they are (generally?) higher in hotter parts of the world? Chidgk1 (talk) 07:32, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Linking to either middle latitudes or temperate climate is fine, since temperate climates are found in the middle latitudes. Mentioning the altitude in temperate regions and just saying that it's higher in tropical regions in the lede is also fine. I avoided mentioning polar regions in the lede since very few people live there. Reaper Eternal (talk) 16:09, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  What about "Cirrus forms between 4,000 and 20,000 m (13,000 and 66,000 ft) above sea level, and tends to be higher above hotter ground"? or  "Cirrus forms between 4,000 and 20,000 m (13,000 and 66,000 ft) above sea level, and tends to be higher in hotter parts of the world."? Chidgk1 (talk) 16:45, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The former is inaccurate, but the latter is alright. I don't particularly like either, though. Perhaps: "Cirrus forms between 4,000 and 20,000 m (13,000 and 66,000 ft) above sea level, and tends to be higher in tropical parts of the world." Reaper Eternal (talk) 01:52, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
