Talk:Tropical Storm Chris (2006)

message: Right now, nothing that couldn't be in the seasonal article. Indeed, this could fall apart by the next advisory. Chacor 15:28, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It is near land though and Alberto and Beryl (although they were near the US) had articles at this point. There is more that could be added here, I have already started to add new stuff. The policy was to create an article when it approaches land - it has done that. CrazyC83 15:38, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Link to said discussion of policy? Look what happened to Daniel. Chacor 15:40, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Past discussions on Alberto and Beryl. The difference here is that it is affecting land from the get-go (the Lesser Antilles). CrazyC83 15:41, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Disagree, keep the page. -- WmE 15:57, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Disagree, per CrazyC83 Cryomaniac 17:01, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Keep for now. Now that it's made, we'll just to the updates here. If it does dissipate and do nothing, axe it. --Hurricanehink (talk) 17:55, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Keep - isn't it now policy to give every Atlantic tropical storm its own article?? Pobbie Rarr 19:18, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, sort of. Only once a storm affects land (like when it causes tropical cyclone warnings) does a storm get an article operationally. Fish storms remain in the season summary until a later date (after it dissipates at the earliest, generally once info is available). Hurricanehink (talk) 23:40, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Keep - I'm in the crosshairs of this storm and it's useful to me to have a page on each new storm as early as possible with a permanent URL so that I can refer my friends to that page.  (Sobesurfski 20:11, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Keep - It is now forecast to become a hurricane and tropical storm warnings have been issued for Puerto Rico and several islands. Hello32020 21:52, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Keep. íslenska hurikein #12 (samtal) 22:10, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Strong Keep -  Keep this page, Chris could be very interesting. Alastor Moody (talk) 23:05, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Mind you, that isn't a good argument not to merge - Daniel was very interesting, but did nothing in the end. Chacor 01:03, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Pardon me, but as far as Chris is concerned, it seems to be developing very well, and can do something, but he hasn't dissipated yet. Lets see what he will do in the end. Alastor Moody (talk) 21:06, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Keep as Chris is developing well and seems to meet criteria re: effect on land with warnings issued. Oh.. And I suggest a consensus exists. --Elliskev 01:14, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

text: But you're forgetting - Chris gets an article simply for being an Atlantic tropical storm. It's what we do with all Atlantic storms now, even Tropical Storm Lee. :) Pobbie Rarr 01:08, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Pobbie Parr is right, although the other basins may not have each storm getting its own article, but the Atlantic storms were agreed to have their own articles, wether devesating (Hurricane Katrnia), or having know effects to anything (like TS Lee from 2005). Alastor Moody (talk) 21:06, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, but eventually. Storms only get articles once they have land effects. At that time, and even as of now to some extent, there were no land effects. Yes, it was forecasted to move through the Lesser Antilles, but if it dissipated quickly and never regenerated, there'd be no point to have this article.

thread_title:  Merge - early stages

message: Sorry if this is not supposed to be discussed but where do you think Chris will make landfall?  I know right now it's hard to say and it all depends on where it goes from between now and next Monday.  For me, I'm going to say it's going to stay close to the projected path and brush the Florida Keys and it might become a threat for those living in the Gulf of Mexico.  That's not entirely all good news.  Douglasr007 02:19, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Talk:2006 Atlantic hurricane season#Tropical Storm Chris is where all the discussion is, let's keep this talk page for discussing the article. Chacor 02:25, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh I see.  Sorry about that.  Thank you for leading me to the right direction.  Douglasr007 02:39, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Impact 

message: Past history shows even waves and remnant lows are destructive in Hispaniola, especially Haiti (one in the spring of 2004 killed over 2,000 people) if they stall and produce flash flooding. We should continue to consider the page "current" until that is clear, even if the storm becomes a wave or low as a result. CrazyC83 18:09, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. --Elliskev 19:19, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Even if Chris dissipates... 

message: Is there precedent for hurricane-bound storms like this to basically peter out? (Yes I know it's still a major storm, but it ain't no Katrina.) I mean, a few days ago it was "batten down the hatches" in the US, but now it's more "grab the umbrella". Granted it could pick up strength again -- as Katrina did IIRC -- but it does seem weird how Chris was -- for a hurricane -- a non-starter. Yes I know there's discussion on this at the season article; I'm bringing it up here as a possible discussion point within the article itself. 23skidoo 15:01, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It never really was hurricane-bound. Remember, that at the start, the NHC's forecast of a high-end TS was conditional on the provisions that the environmental conditions would fall perfectly in place, which they seemed to do. Bearing in mind that at the start, Chris could well have dissipated as TD Three. Envrionmental conditions which the NHC said were around (which would have been detrimental to Chris) just kicked in a bit late. Chacor 15:05, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Three words; Debby in 2000. That was forecasted to be a Category 2 hurricane in the Florida Keys, with the GDFL forecasting a Category 4 hurricane in the Keys, but it dissipated and did next to nothing in Florida. Hurricanehink (talk) 15:11, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yea, 926 mb was forecasted! This isn't nearly as extreme. íslenska hurikein #12 (samtal) 23:43, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

text: If this storm survive the entry into the Carribean or Gulf of Mexico, i doubt it will strenghten into a hurricane there. Irfanfaiz 23:11, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

text: How about Phillipe of 2005? Even as a depression on the first advisory they (NHC) were predicting a borderline Category 2-Category 3 hurricane and it barely even held Category 1. Jake52 My Talk 19:57, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Well that was weird

message: Look at the article now. The storm is dead, it did almost nothing, and there's nothing here you can't mention in the main article. We should wait until the TCR comes out to resurrect this article, so that we have more info. But until then, we should merge it. Chacor 09:19, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Have also designated it a Start-Class article, but it's a very, very low Start. Chacor 09:26, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

text: That's not a very convincing argument. After the season it'll have one because we'd have info from the TCR. Right now, there's no info that can't go to the seasonal article. Chacor 14:12, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Please sign in to have your vote counted. Also, you are welcome to start articles for all of those past hurricanes. Thanks. Good kitty 20:05, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Nope, this isn't a vote, it's a discussion, and anons are welcome, so please avoid WP:BITE. Chacor 01:36, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There was nothing rude about my comment. Good kitty 02:37, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Wasn't in-as-much rudeness, just came across to me like it could've been phrased better, it's like saying "please register to have your opinion matter". Chacor 02:39, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If this list is going to be used to decide whether to merge or not merge, then all anonymous opinions shouldn't count. Good kitty 05:22, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Why should they not? This isn't a vote, like at AFD. While anons' votes at AFD don't count, their discussion and opinions may be taken into account. Same thing here. Chacor 05:36, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

text: *There hasn't been such a single discussion, its just something that was repeatedly discussed and has ended up with an FA on a fishspinner - Hurricane Irene (2005); the FAC has several links to discussions on the issue. The problem here is how this article was made was all wrong, it needs a ground-up rewrite. The only thing that made Chris at all unusual is that it is in 2006 and there has been insane interest in TCs... An article which would reach GA criteria is easily possible, but needs a bit of time to elapse (and the TCR).--Nilfanion (talk) 01:13, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Not to mention waiting until the storm is over so we know what it does. Hmm, this gives me an idea. I think it's time to bring the article discussion back up. Hurricanehink (talk) 02:53, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge proposal - post-final advisory 

message: In the weather sites, they say that Tropical Storm Chris might re-develop by the middle of the week, but it may not be as strong as the first formation. --9708191616 23:23, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I doubt it. íslenska hurikein #12 (samtal) 00:33, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Says it all. Gone. Chacor 01:34, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: It may re-develop as it goes into warm water

message: I think this article should be rated as a good article because it was tons of good info and is overall very organized. --§ Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody (talk + contribs + userboxes) 19:07, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If you insist. I hope I did good enough of a job... Hurricanehink (talk) 20:04, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well its a very good written article of Chris. I like it. --§ Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody (talk + contribs + userboxes) 06:49, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: GA Status

message: Hello. I am a new member at Wikipedia, and therefore I have no experience with editing articles. I have a loop (RGB) of Chris, decoupling due to heavy wind shear, which I think is relevant to the article. I have it hosted on Wikimedia Commons. You can find it here. (Whoa! I'm glad I got the hyperlink to work) Calamity21 (talk) 20:05, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Decoupling loop

message: As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "Meteorology and atmospheric sciences" articles. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. I have made several minor corrections throughout the article. Altogether the article is well-written and is still in great shape after its passing in 2006. Continue to improve the article making sure all new information is properly sourced and neutral. It would also be beneficial to go through the article and update all of the access dates of the inline citations and fix any dead links. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have updated the article history to reflect this review. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 22:44, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
