HP Botswana

Dear Scheridon,

Your enthusiastic contributions regarding the HP of Botswana (articles Otse and Monalanong Hill and the List of countries by highest point) is appreciated. Keep doing the "work" improving the Wiki.

However, would you be so kind to specify your sources that justify the supremacy of Monalanong Hill over Otse Hill? Some years ago we (user:Viewfinder, user:Kószab and other involved persons) discussed the topic and examined all the available data. These included topographic maps, SRTM data and GPS readings from the very places. The final conclusion was that there is still no evidence that would justify the Monalanong Hill as the HP of Botswana. The 1494 m datum comes from the SRTM database just as the 1491 m for Otse. The error range of these data is significantly higher (approx. 15 m), so we can not tell which one is higher. However, Ginge Fullen (a British explorer) did a GPS reading on the top of both hills, and his measurement showed Otse slightly higher. That is why we left Otse in the list as HP of Botswana.

So if you have more convincing evidence, please, tell us about it. But if you currently do not have any, than it would be a good idea (if you agree with it) to revert your good-faith edits in the connecting articles. Kószab (talk) 20:33, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of List of ski areas and resorts in North America

The article List of ski areas and resorts in North America has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unnecessary collection of links, "Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links" per Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Truthanado (talk) 01:15, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Chuí

So the pronunciations at the reference you removed are wrong? If so, could you find a reliable source to back this up?

Also, once we settle this matter, the IPA stress mark is ‹ˈ›, not an apostrophe ‹'›. They look the same in many fonts, so they get mixed up a lot. — ˈzɪzɨvə (talk) 22:47, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm curious if you hear those samples at Forvo as one syllable or two. To my ear, Chuí is in each case one syllable. I suspect that as there is considerable variation here (as elsewhere in Portuguese) between syllabic [i, u] and nonsyllabic [j, w]. I think the purpose of the accent is mark it as //ʃui// (i.e., not the //ʃui// you'd otherwise expect), not to specify //ʃu.i//—

Portuguese orthography: Rising diphthongs (which may also be pronounced as hiatuses) containing stressed i or stressed u are accented, so that they will not be pronounced as falling diphthongs.

— what happens after that is a matter for Portuguese sandhi, and a native speaker may have trouble hearing the distinction. As a native speaker of English, I'd probably count two syllables for towel and one for fowl, despite (I'm pretty sure), rhyming them perfectly. All that said, I'm splitting hairs, and your reference is good enough for me. Cheers! — ˈzɪzɨvə (talk) 16:59, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Catenanuova primary source

Here is a scan of the primary source document relevant page

By the way, perhaps you detected a concrete problem. We have a WMO European temperature record (that is the highest temperature measured by a WMO station) and a non-WMO station that measured a higher temperature. The WMO record is really that of Athens, but the true highest reliable temperature was measured in another place by another station. Catenanuova is warmer than Athens, but it has not a WMO weather station and it will never have one, as the Region Sicily is not WMO member (in Italy only Military Air Forces AM are and only the small set of AM weather stations are WMO labeled despite of the circumstance that thousand of other weather stations are technically better than WMO-quality in WMO-compliant locations). What to do? In my opinion the WMO record is for Athens and the highest temperature is for Catenanuova; I do not see other rational solutions without adopting views that deny the validity of WMO records for WMO stations and that slander the Idrometric Network of the Region Sicily by assuming that they are technically non-compliant with standards of measurement, a thing that should be proved by who states it.

Do how you prefer. If you want to revert, I will not revert you, but I will ask you reference for "unofficiality" or "disputed" or "discussed" or whatever. Maybe some reliable reference exists, but I wasn't able to retrieve it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.145.249.158 (talk) 19:02, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Brazil as a founding member of the UN

Hi Roger,

I saw that you recently reverted an edit on the Brazil page about the UN. Point was that brazil is not a founding member of the UN. I checked that and indeed, Brazil is not a founding member of the UN, according to the UN: http://www.un.org/en/aboutun/history/dumbarton_yalta.shtml

Do you have any idea why this info came there in the first place? As is, I want to correct it, but I also remember that Brazil always opens the general assembly, so clearly there is a special relationship there.... cheers, Magafuzula (talk) 10:17, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

= Mzaar Kfardebian article

Hello,

I am happy to see that you are keeping this article from being abused by both sides: people from the town of Faraya who would like to remove all texts relating to the fact that the resort is within the jurisdiction often town of Kfardebian on one side and on the other side, people from the town of Kfardebiane who would like to remove all mention of the name Faraya in the article. I would like to mention two important facts: although the municipality of Kfardebiane has obtain from the ministry of tourism in Lebanon that the resort is officially referred to as "Mzaar Kfardebian", people in Lebanon continue to say "Faraya" when talking about the resort. It has been the case since the 1950's when the first group of investors from Beirut built the first chalets and the first ski lift. The other Fact is that the company owning today the concession of the ski slopes and the ski lifts was founded in the 1960's under the name "Faraya-Mzaar tourisme et sports d'hiver"

Subpolar climates

Hello.

The problem is that the prefix "sub-" is always ambiguous.

Either it means "under" something and "out of" this same thing

or it means a part of a thing but at the bottom of it, at the margin of it but still into it.

And so apparently there are two subpolar oceanic climates :

1) the subpolar oceanic climate ("under and out of") as defined in Wikipedia and for instance in Modern Climatology by Pijushkanti Saha p. 305, 306 (see for instance https://books.google.fr/books?id=X4ymCQAAQBAJ&pg=PA305&lpg=PA305&dq=subpolar+oceanic+climate&source=bl&ots=qXzAg9nekS&sig=J0sPmXw2V9IZc_v-RY9-vngEIag&hl=fr&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=0CHcQ6AEwC2oVChMI9KXcxsnEyAIVyNsaCh3xGgNJ#v=onepage&q=subpolar%20oceanic%20climate&f=false) : as indicated this climate is "Cfc" climate in Köppen classification therefore Köppen considered this subpolar climate as a TEMPERATE climate and it has to be indicated to avoid any ambiguity.

So here "sub-" means that it is close to the polar climates but not a polar climate

2) the subpolar oceanic climate as defined by Pierre Estienne in Climatologie, collection U, Armand Colin, Paris, 1992, ISBN 2200219180 where this subpolar climate is the "warmest" of the polar climates : so this subpolar climate is truly a polar climate with each monthly average temperature below 10°C.

This time "sub-" means at the margin of the "polar" entity but still inside the "polar" entity contrary to the above definition.

This is why I edit your own modification in the Reykjavík article to make it clear that the Reykjavík climate is a TEMPERATE subpolar climate AND not a POLAR subpolar climate.

The fact that later in the article it is noted that Reykjavík is in the temperate ZONE is just a latitude indication (< 66° 33' 45,573") but does not refer to the temperate CLIMATE. Carlo Colussi (talk) 14:11, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

Climate of Almeria

Annual mean temperature or 250 mm rainfall aren't criteria for an arid climate. Annual temperature only determines if it is a hot, cold, or mild version of the climate, and aridness is determined by the following formula. "Multiply the average annual temperature in °C by 20, then add (a) 280 if 70% or more of the total precipitation is in the high-sun half of the year (April through September in the Northern Hemisphere, or October through March in the Southern), or (b) 140 if 30%–70% of the total precipitation is received during the applicable period, or (c) 0 if less than 30% of the total precipitation is so received. If the annual precipitation is less than 50% of this threshold, the classification is BW (desert climate); if it is in the range of 50%–100% of the threshold, the classification is BS (steppe climate)." This makes Almeria a hot semi-arid city rather than a fully arid one. Proximity to the true arid zone is correct, many towns and cities in this region exhibit a true arid climate. The threshold for Almeria is 191 mm according to the Köppen system, thus receiving just enough rainfall to exceed this threshold. I guess you added 140 thinking high sun precipitation was over 30 percent? Berkserker (talk) 02:28, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

Santa Rosa, La Pampa

Under criterion w for C and D in the Köppen climate classification, the driest month in the winter also must have less than 10% of the average precipitation received in the wettest month in summer. In this situation, the driest month is June with an average precipitation of 16.3 millimetres (0.64 in), and the wettest month, November, averages 101 millimetres (3.98 in) of precipitation. This means that the driest month (June) has 16% of the average precipitation received in the wettest month (November), so it does not meet the criteria at w. Eyesnore 19:00, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

Climate change denial

1st Climate map of Spain mistakenly showing that Almería is listed in BSk and Alicante listed in BSh according to the Köppen–Geiger classification system (note that the Canary Islands aren't included)

2nd Climate map of Spain showing that Almería is listed in BWk and there is a cold desert enclave in Spain according to the Köppen–Geiger classification system (note that the Canary Islands aren't included)

AEMET and IPMA are all wrong, Almeria is listed in BWk, Santa Cruz is listed in BWh, Murcia and Alicante are listed in BSk according to the Köppen climate classification and i'm true, since Europe is the only continent not located in the tropics, the hot semi-arid climate tends to be located in the tropics when their cold counterparts tend to be located in the temperate zones, the cold desert climate rarely has snow and tends to be drier than their hot counterparts, since you don't care about climate change and the end of the world, you're a foolish stupid idiot moron!2602:30A:C0FF:A6E0:8871:A076:D198:D81F (talk) 02:15, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

Mean temperature is simple math, no extra sources needed

The person who put in the mean temperatures did the math wrong. The way that you get the mean temperature is to take the high temperature minus the low temperature, then divide that in half, and then add the low temperature. That's how you get the mean temperature. You shouldn't have reverted my correction of the erroneous math. Please don't do this again. Aoa8212 (talk) 07:48, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

Sources explaining the differences between true equatorial (ITCZ, doldrums) with no cyclones and tropical trade-wind rainforest climates

Hello,

yes I should have given sources.

The Köppen climate classification almost exclusively used in Wikipedia, is still a good basis however it is a little dated, obsolete. In his "tropisches Regenwaldklima" (= Tropical rainforest climate) as suggested by the expression, Köppen included all the climates more or less associated with tropical rainforests. Köppen didn't make the distinction between equatorial climates and tropical humid trade-wind climates.

Equatorial climates are dominated by the ITCZ (Intertropical Convergence Zone that is the air mass where the boreal and austral trade winds meet) and have no cyclones. The other name of the ITCZ is the Meteorological Equator recalling it is located near the equator most of the year. However the ITCZ continuously moves throughout the year and may go as high as 38°N (in boreal summer) and as low as 20°S (in austral summer). Inside the ITCZ, when there is no storm, you have no or little wind due to the fact that the trade winds have nowhere to go except to altitude and inside the ITCZ you can't have cyclones (but the ITCZ is perhaps one of the causes of cyclones outside itself). Therefore true equatorial climates are most of the time under the ITCZ so located near the equator (at the notable exception of the Bolivian Amazonia).

In regions where the trade winds are the main aeorological mechanism, you have much wind and you can have cyclones. In trade-wind regions you don't have most of the time, doldrums, the latter being the consequence of the ITCZ. In trade-wind regions you have a constant sea breeze. Due to the fact that there is often wind in those regions, their tropical rainforests are depleted due to their need to withstand strong winds accompanying tropical disturbances while equatorial forests are evidently much richer, diverse ...

I gave some differences between the equatorial climates and the other tropical rainforest climates in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Tropical_rainforest_climate#Many_tropical_rainforest_climates_AREN%27T_equatorial_climates

and some references to the sources in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Donald_Albury#Tropical_trade-wind_climates_in_Florida_(Fort_Lauderdale,_West_Palm_Beach,_...)_and_Liberia_climates.

So the main source explaining the differences is the book, written in French,

"Climatologie" by Pierre Estienne and Alain Godard, Éditions Armand Colin (ISBN 2-200-31042-0) and the specific chapter related to the intertropical climates where the differences between true equatorial (and subequatorial) climates and trade-wind climates are described is "CHAPITRE XVI 1. Les climats équatoriaux et subéquatoriaux 2. Les climats tropicaux 3. Les climats d'alizé 4. Les climats de montagne LES CLIMATS DE LA ZONE INTERTROPICALE : LES VARIÉTÉS" pages 308-323.

In particular,

page 309 is explained that in true equatorial climates there are constant low pressures so winds are rare et weak except in coastal areas some sea and land breezes : the lands of doldrums (in fact doldrum is a term used by sailors so "land of doldrum" is a little contradictory);

page 314, it is said that in trade-wind climates, the trade wind flow is almost permanent and page 316 that the sea breeze is permanent.

Page 322, it is explained that in equatorial climates you don't have cyclones or rarely. In particular most of the Caroline Islands and the Marshall Islands don't have equatorial climates due to the frequency of cyclones. The example used is that of Ponape, now called Pohnpei, in the Federated States of Micronesia (a republic in the Carolina Islands), were there are about 25 cyclones per year.

DYK for Sagu (dessert)

On 17 August 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Sagu (dessert), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that sagu (pictured) is a southern Brazilian dessert made with tapioca balls that are extracted from cassava, not from sago palms?

San Pedro Sula

Hi, thanks for your corrections to the weather data table in this edit: [1]. Fyi, I added a "citation needed" for the Köppen climate classification because there has been some dispute over it in the past. It would be nice if you could provide one, thanks! --IamNotU (talk) 19:07, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

I noticed that you edited that section again, but since there was still no source provided I've removed the statement about the climate classification. All the sources I could find contradicted what you wrote, saying Am (tropical monsoon), but I was not certain about their reliability so I just took it out. Please feel free to re-add it if you can provide a reliable source directly stating the Köppen classification; your own analysis is not sufficient. Thanks... --IamNotU (talk) 12:18, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

Ski resorts

When I edited the pages about the ski resorts, I actually had sources about them, unlike most other submissions. When you reverted my edits, you offered no explanation as to why. The only ski resorts which I didn't have good enough sources and evidence was Oman and Hawaii. Even on the Huacachina sand dune, there is a tiny ski area. so if you don't mind, I am reverting back those edits. 188.151.57.16 (talk) 16:55, 16 October 2021 (UTC) Also, what does rev. 3 ed. mean? 188.151.57.16 (talk) 17:08, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

Ndūng Ngid as settlement

Hello Sir,

Why is the settlement too small when in Georgia a village with 1 and in the US one with 296 inhabitants is considered? Unfortunately I don't have exact numbers but considering the (satellite) map the population of Ndūng Ngid should surely be high enough?

Thanks for considering my remarks Ly.n0m (talk) 16:27, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Hi. You need other source to corroborate it. Scheridon (talk) 16:35, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

I appreciate your answer. Ndūng Ngid is administered as a district capital by the de facto independent Wa Government. In Burmese it is known as Long Htan/Long Tang. In this source from the UN Office on Drugs and Crime [2] it is mentioned as a township on page 89 (95 of the document) Best regards, Ly.n0m (talk) 16:54, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Here you can find it on another map from the United Nations in the position it can be found on when looking at OpenStreetMap or a satellite view. [3] For more detailed information on its districts see the Wikipedia article Wa State Ly.n0m (talk) 17:04, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

January 2022

Thank you for answering.

Apparently in List of countries and territories by extreme temperatures I was trying to find a reliable source for the lowest recorded temperature ever recorded in Lebanon. I tried looking for date of recorded temperature, and lowest recorded temperature for Qurnat as Sawda' the highest point in Lebanon at 3,088 m (10,131 ft), I found the temperature as -45 or -47 degrees celsius, however; I couldn't find the date. One source says "and nighttime lows that can plummet to −45 °C". Another says, "the lowest recorded temperature is -47 °C" but again the dates are not mentioned.

I am surprised that Qurnat as Sawda' is ignored, the fact that is the highest mountain in Lebanon and in the Levant region, and the lowest I can find is -17 °C which is within the cedars region (1,500 ~ 2,000 m) above sea level.

Nevertheless, I will try to look for other sources that are more reliable and if I find a new record with a new date, I will update it while citing a reliable source.

Thank you. --Ramy5077 (talk) 07:38, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Politicsandmorebiography

Hi. I suspected this user from first appearance of being a Honduras200010 sockpuppet, but I've been waiting for signs other than edits to Köppen climate classification to bear that out, and they haven't happened, as far as I've noticed. No focus on the usual slate of articles, including Latin America or musical divas, no obsession with changing or adding photos. And sources are being supplied. So I've sat and waited. Now you've explained that you're reverting on the presumption of sockpuppetry, whereas I thought you'd been reverting because the edits were actually wrong. And if they are wrong and you suspect the user of being a sock, then I'm surprised that you've neither begun placing warnings about disruptive editing on their talk page or filed a report on your sockpuppetry suspicion. Are you also in wait-and-see mode?

Also, regarding your removal of the tag I'd placed: Is there a reason not to request sources for the information in that article? Largoplazo (talk) 15:11, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

Schnridon, you made this edit. Can you explain how an elected politician that will be among those drafting Chile's new constitution is of questionable notability?

Köppen climate of Campinas

Hello, I saw that you undid a edit made by me on the Wikipedia article for the city of Campinas. I would like to know your reasoning behind it, as I linked to the Köppen climate on Wikipedia clearly showing that Campinas does not have a Aw climate nor does it border a Cwa climate type. I have lived and live near the city and it does not feel like a Savanna climate here/there.

About your reverts on Pomerode

Hey Scheridon, when you revert another editor — especially a newer user doing things like adding unsourced material or not using edit summaries — please leave a message on their talk page informing them. You can also choose from one of the user warning templates, which have links to relevant policies and guidelines that they can read. I've gone ahead and done that this time, but I hope you'll keep it in mind in the future. Thanks! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 15:41, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

By the way, Twinkle will help you do all of this easier, and gives you rollback-like functionality so you don't need to manually revert multiple edits in a row. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 15:43, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
