Talk:2005 Pacific typhoon season/Archive 1

message: Anyone object if I move this to 2005 typhoon season? Pacific is redundant; typhoons only occur in the Pacific. --Golbez 23:43, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
I think it's fine where it is. I don't see 'Pacific' as being redundant.

We need to give a location, Golbez. Some people might not know where typhoons form, or that they are only in the Western Pacific. And you were one of several who still think that putting 'active' in bold next to the name of an active storm, when it clearly says in the heading that active storms are in bold, is a good idea. That has never made sense to me. Someone may be ignorant enough to not know where typhoons form but I doubt anyone is that stupid. You say you do it to help the deaf and visually impaired. I don't see how that would help those people.

text: Because some people can't see the bold. They are blind and use screenreaders that don't announce the bold. This was pointed out at the beginning of the 2004 season by someone concerned with accessibility. Do you have a factual statement to refute that, or will you just keep bringing that up whenever you have a disagreement with me?  --Golbez 16:27, August 5, 2005 (UTC)
You didn't make it clear the last time I asked. That's why I brought it up again. No need to get your shorts in a knot.

text: Since I just filled out categories for all the existing Pacific typhoon seasons (see :Category:Pacific typhoon seasons, , and ) I really hope it stays where it is.  Plus I agree "pacific" is not redundant because it is descriptive. Jdorje 22:00, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

message: New storm infobox has been introduced on the 2005 Atlantic Hurricane Season page and has become the new wiki standard. Thanks NSLE for adding it on this page as well. I was watching Beta so closely I missed 22W spin up. I have modified the Saffir-Simpson scale template used on those pages to one more appropriate for the NW Pacific Saffir-Simpson-NWP. Instead of mph it has knots as the JTWC uses knots. Also added a pink/purplish color for cat 4 Super Typhoon to differentiate it from reg cat 4. Templates have been added for the storm colors so we don't have to learn hex. I created catS template for the Super Typhoon cat 4. I named it with a capital S for Super (Typhoon) so it wouldn't look like "cats".
I've used UTC as the primary time reference in writing summary info on this page because the regional time zones aren't as familiar to English speaking readers. Since the new wiki standard uses both UTC and local time zone. I propose we use the following generally accepted abbreviations for the time zones:
ICT Indochina Time: Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos (UTC+7)
HKT Hong Kong Time: Hong Kong, China, Taiwan (UTC+8)
PHT Philippine Time: Philippines (UTC+8)
JST Japan Standard Time: Japan (UTC+9)
KST Korea Standard Time: North and South Korea (UTC+9)
ChST Chamorro Standard Time: Guam (UTC+10)
YAPT Yap Time: Yap Micronesia (UTC+10)
PONT Pohnpei Time: Pohnpei Micronesia (UTC+11)
MHT Marshall Islands Time: Marshall Islands (UTC+12)
China and Taiwan are usually abbreviated with CST for China Standard Time but this is easily confused with the United States central time zone. Another abbreviation previously used was CCT for China Coast Time. This may be to obscure a reference to use and has fallen out of favor since China unified under one time zone. I am hoping using HKT won't be controversial for these areas.

New infobox category added by NSLE for Strong Tropical Storm. In checking sources I see JMA does use a catagory TS for Tropical Storm and STS presumably for Strong Tropical Storm. Added template color called storm colour strong to avoid hex coding.
SkyWayMan 18:10 29 October 2005 UTC
There is nothing called a strong tropical storm. The category STS stands for 'severe tropical storm'. It is used in Hong Kong, Macau, China, Reunion, Mauritius, etc. and is a fixed term for the regional exchange between countries around Northwest Pacific Ocean or Southwest Indian Ocean.

thread_title:  Storm Infobox 

message: Why are we linking to Weather Underground's track charts? The UNISYS charts are of much better quality and we can link to copywrited page right? I think all the track charts should be replaced with the ones UNISYS has. Thoughts? -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 06:37, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Track Charts 

message: * Mention of NIndian in the intro (alongside EPac).
* Why are some storms not covered at all, only a translation is provided?
* Miles and mph should be provided instead of nautical miles and knots (or at least, if you consider nautical miles so important, in addition to them).
