replies: text: Uh, I don't understand. What terms? The above are references to baguio as a typhoon. I thought you were opposed to the usage as a typhoon?--Jondel 04:40, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Baguio to Bagyo

message: Chacor redirect this article to the related category earlier today. I've reverted that as an inappropriate cross-space redirect. Whilst this article currently reads as a highly incomplete list, it can be retasked into a potentially very useful article. If it is focussed on PAGASAs role in TYs, effects of typhoons in general in the Philippines, records and a few significant storms, as opposed to a long list of storms (which could be completed), this could be a potentially very useful article. In any case such a move should be discussed first, I see no reason for such a contraversial move.--Nilfanion (talk) 15:39, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: (ediit conflict) Agreed, and good idea on where it should go. As for the few significant storms, I think at the least all storms retired for their destruction in the Philippines should be mentioned. Hurricanehink (talk) 16:02, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

text: PAGASA has named storms since 1963. There is no way that this could ever become useful as a list; it isn't even updated. A LOT has to be done to save this "article". Also, it never was a move; don't term it as one. – Chacor 16:01, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I meant move as in to "take an action" not to use the move function.--Nilfanion (talk) 16:09, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm planning on creating 2006 storms list. Is this a good idea? --Howard the Duck 11:35, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Given we already record all the Philippine storms at the yearly article, I can't really see the point. – Chacor 11:37, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Just go direct to the point. --Howard the Duck 12:30, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

text: I think what was said above by Nilfanion was a good idea; only include the most notable ones, records, and Philippine typhoons in general. There's no need to list every storm that affected the Philippines. It would be impractical. Hurricanehink (talk) 15:50, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Although I agree, classifying storms on which should appear here would be hard. The current storm (Queenie), even though the weather bureau raised the storm signals to the highest level (#4), had zero casualties (as of last night), while several weak storms (like Chedeng, forgot the international name) had casualties. --Howard the Duck 02:45, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Umm... this year's "C" was "Caloy", used for Typhoon Chanchu (2006), not all that weak... – Chacor 02:50, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I was refering to  Tropical Storm Chedeng. --Howard the Duck 03:11, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

text: I'm thinking we only include the costliest and deadliest, maybe only 10 to 20. All of the typhoons with their international names retired should be mentioned, for example. Hurricanehink (talk) 02:54, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: How about the storms with strongest winds, most inches of rain (unless they also wrecked a lot of damage)? --Howard the Duck 03:11, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe something like that could work. Hurricanehink (talk) 03:29, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

text: I'd rather format this page like List of Delaware hurricanes. --Howard the Duck 11:57, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  2006 storms 

message: Placed all information in the article within a table, and added the related tropical cyclone rainfall maxima into the article into a new section.  Also, the article itself was not in the proper format for wikipedia, which has now been rectified.  With all the changes made, and inline references finally existing, upped the article to Start class.  Thegreatdr (talk) 05:39, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think this is a great plan for how to make an article like this work. Listing every typhoon in the Philippines would be overkill, since it'd be endless. Also, since this avoids the "list of" in the title, it is much more of an article, which works well. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:21, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Upgrade to article

message: It's not clear how the dagger should be pronounced in "†Bagyo" and no guide is provided. If it is being used as a reference, an asterisk placed *after* the word "Bagyo" is clearer. Wakablogger2 (talk) 05:48, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pronunciation or meaning of dagger: †Bagyo 

message: This article states that the high for number of tropical cyclones moving through the Philippines occurred in 1993 when 17 passed through.  However this source "III. The transformation sub-system: cultivation to market size in fishponds on the main Philippines page, identifies 19 typhoons a year as the average.  Can someone comment on which is more accurate or add some qualifiers in interpretation that can help reconcile the numbers?  Thank you. Lambanog (talk) 13:55, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I will double check these figures when i get home tonight but i have seen PAGASA quoted as saying somewhere this year that the average to move into the Phillipine AOR is 20, BUT apprently only about 8 cross the phillipines a year. As for "the high for number of tropical cyclones moving through the Philippines occurred in 1993 when 17 passed through." That sounds to me like the total of systems making landfall on the phillippines as that year we went to the auxillary list of names.Jason Rees (talk) 17:08, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Double checked - PAGASA said in their post 2008 PTS report to the WMO that 8-9 affect the country each year.Jason Rees (talk) 21:30, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you very much for the information Jason Rees!  I honestly wasn't expecting an answer for such an abstruse factoid but thought I'd take a shot anyway.  I can certainly see why you've earned those barnstars!   Lambanog (talk) 15:01, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Number of typhoons per year 

message: This article says that the term Bagyo pre-dates the 1911 coinage claimed in the article. This 1904 version of Charles Nigg's Tagalog-English Dictionary has the term and the author of the article says he also found the word in a reprinted edition of Francisco de San Antonio’s Vocabulario Tagalo. The current sentence is triple-sourced, but all of the sources are offline. Gobōnobō + c 18:28, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

message: Good day to all. I would like to point out the non-uniformity across Wikipedia articles and templates on the wind speed ranges of the Philippine TCWS, particularly the wind speeds in knots (kts) and miles per hours (mph).
I'm one of the contributors of the article on Tropical Cyclone Wind Signals. And in that article, I indicated the wind speed ranges in kilometers per hour (km/h), meters per second (m/s) and knots (kts) based on how DOST-PAGASA laid out these wind speed ranges in the March 2022 revision of the TCWS system—which, in turn, has been based on the Beaufort wind force scale, with the exception of Wind Signal #5. Since the km/h, m/s and kts wind speed ranges are based on the Beaufort scale, I thought that it would make sense if the wind speed ranges in mph would also be based on the Beaufort scale to ensure uniformity and traceability to the same basis/standard.
Nevertheless, I noticed that the wind speed ranges in kts and mph in the Wikipedia templates and other Wikipedia articles were not based on the Beaufort scale, but were derived by converting the values from km/h and rounding them to the nearest whole number. This resulted to overlapping threshold values (e.g. 48 kts and 55 mph as both upper limit of TCWS #2 and lower limit of TCWS #3) and, of course, the ranges not following the Beaufort scale like the wind speed ranges in km/h, m/s and kts (as laid out by PAGASA). So now, I'm wondering how we can reconcile all of our edits so that the information regarding the TCWS system will be the same across all concerned Wikipedia articles and templates.
Thank you very much, and have a nice day everyone! —Nairb.Idi9 (talk) 13:43, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
