Image 1	Image 2

Hello, @Hurricaneboy23: @Jasper Deng: to prevent the Image war, we need to discuss on the talk page. HurricaneEdgar 23:35, 22 September 2021 (UTC)

Obviously, image 2. There is no justification for ignoring the clearer eye, which is more representative of the storm at its peak around that time. @Hurricaneboy23: You really ought to be subject to a strict WP:1RR on images. --Jasper Deng (talk) 10:11, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

I am to come forth and say that Image 1 is a better choice since for one thing it is not unrealistically dark for the time of day it was taken and is a higher resolution image then the low-quality PNGs you get from RAMMB-SLIDER. Peak intensity isn't everything, and I doubt any user is really looking for the PERFECT details of the clear eye which is already partially clear in the first image. According to the WP:IMG guidelines, EOSDIS Worldview images are preferred anyhow and should be used when available!! Hurricaneboy23 (page) * (talk) 16:29, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

@Hurricaneboy23: Let's see you not WP:SHOUT (with the all-caps "PERFECT" and double exclamation marks) for once.

Anyways, representativeness of the storm (or in general) is the first priority and a clearer eye closer to peak is undisputably more representative of the storm than even a higher-resolution one with a more clouded eye. The darkness is not an issue considering our use of IR images. In general, if we want to deviate from peak intensity we have better have good reasons to do so and resolution is not one of them when the great majority of readers will not view these images even close to their full resolution.--Jasper Deng (talk) 18:47, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

Realistically no general person really cares about the peak intensity aspect of it and the details of the eye are hard to see unless you really zoom in. Irrelevant argument IMHO. The dark nature of the image for the tkme of day makes it unrealistic and therefore not a suitable option anyway. Hurricaneboy23 (page) * (talk) 03:02, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

@Hurricaneboy23: Even in the small thumbnail size we use, the difference is pretty obvious to me. I can instantly tell the difference between a clear or cloud-filled eye on visible imagery without zooming in.--Jasper Deng (talk) 04:02, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

I propose to boldly edit Image 2 slightly to fix the aforementioned brightness issue. If everyone can handle the low resolution PNG then I guess I can as well. Hurricaneboy23 (page) * (talk) 04:59, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

Ok after no response for 2 days I am just going to update the aforementioned image. Hurricaneboy23 (page) * (talk) 23:37, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

too easy, image 2 FleurDeOdile 18:56, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

@Hurricaneboy23: @Jasper Deng: I support Image two, clearer eye and closer to true peak intensity

I support Image 2. Far clearer eye, less overexposed, and closer to true peak. --8medalkid (talk) 18:58, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

Image 2 of course. It has a clearer eye. Hurricane4235 (talk) 14:07, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

Chanthu's intensity

@Hurricaneboy23: @Jasper Deng: Can you add to the Meteorological History "Typhoon Chanthu is classified as a category 5-super typhoon"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.144.32.94 (talk) 03:31, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

It's already mentioned there multiple times: By the next day, at 09:00 UTC, Chanthu had reached Category 5-equivalent intensity, However, shortly after, Chanthu quickly re-intensified into a Category 5-equivalent super typhoon yet again at 09:00 UTC that day, and Chanthu made landfall in Ivana, Batanes as a Category 5 super typhoon. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 03:38, 2 October 2021 (UTC) @Hurricaneboy23: @Jasper Deng: Thank you for your response! I doesn't need to say that it is classified as a super typhoon. Thanks!
