thread_title:  To do 

message: I know that the members of the tropical cyclone project can be quite protective of articles, but I honestly don't know why this can't be merged into Hurricane Katrina.  I know that article is already long, and is a FA and FAs deserve daughter articles and so on, but it's not clear to me after having read both articles why this subject needs its own article, particularly as so much of the space here is devoted to reprinting the bulletin.  I know that this bulletin was a significant aspect of the hurricane, but I'm still not totally convinced it warrants an entire article.-Dmz5*Edits**Talk* 15:45, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think enough info is here to keep it separate, given the impact of the bulletin. Hurricanehink (talk) 15:55, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems to me that the "impact" paragraph is the only uniquely notable part of the article; but it's so short that I think it could be safely merged.-Dmz5*Edits**Talk* 18:23, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point, but the entire text of the bulletin is rather notable and interesting, such that merging it to the 100kb Hurricane Katrina article would require to simply summarize it. In fact, it might not even be notable enough to be mentioned in the main article. I don't know. If you want to get further comments from other users, the WPTC has a page for potentially merged articles. Hurricanehink (talk) 19:33, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

text: Why? Because nothing should be merged into the main Katrina article. That page is huge, and we're already stretching it with the large prose size, so we do need summary style from here and there. Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 19:36, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

text: I agree--I searched Google for the text of this message (search term National Weather Service Warning Katrina) and this was the first result. Having it stand alone was amazingly useful--I am using this in a college course I will teach, and having it easily accessable has been a real help to me. 216.132.81.61 23:04, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge?

message: There is an article within the weather magazine Weatherwise about this statement in 1997, which interviews the person who sent it.  FYI.  Thegreatdr (talk) 16:50, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Cool, what sort of highlights are included? --♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:04, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The article is named In the Shoes of Katrina's Forecasters in their July/August 2007 issue.  It traces the path to that statement  from the Robert Rick's/Slidell WFOs standpoint starting on August 25, including a general summation of the storm day-by-day and what their office had to go through during the hurricane and its aftermath.  Robert makes it sound like the statement was not a completely canned one...that he composed it in real-time from potentially canned impact statements.  Only a paragraph of the article relates to this article, and it has POV because it is a personal recollection, rather than a reporter reporting on what went on at the time.  Thegreatdr (talk) 18:37, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: However, it *could* be used as a source regarding the way the message was composed.  Weatherwise qualifies as a verifiable, reliable source for that sort of thing, and it's not exactly a contentious statement, anyway.  Just specify that it was from an interview with him regarding the timeline, if you're worried that he may be slanting it to make himself look good.  rdfox 76 (talk) 00:10, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The POV issue is that he is the writer of the article.  It could be used, if someone wished to use it, but not for very much.  Since it's a non-government publication, scanning it and placing it anywhere, whether it be wikipedia or elsewhere, would likely violate copyright so I can't do that for other possible editors.  Someone else in the project likely gets Weatherwise.  If it had much new info, I'd have added the relevant portion to the article already.  It was just a heads-up, in case I was missing something.
