Aphid

Latest comment: 18 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Where did the name "Aphid" come from? ~MDD 46 96 06:49, 20 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

I was actually just about to add that bit now -- it's the National Weather Service's official name for it (see Historic Lake Effect Snow Storm of October 12-13, 2006 which should actually be in references rather than external links). It looks like the media have (almost?) settled on "October Surprise" but they seem to keep sort of changing it, and it looks to me as though they are still feeling about for a proper name. At the time I started the article, The noaa name seemed the most official of those out there. Jskelly 17:59, 20 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Redirect from October Surprise Storm

Latest comment: 17 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

There was a duplicate of this article at October Surprise Storm - pretty much all the same information was there, but written independently of this one. I've redirected that article here. ATren 06:22, 7 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Mix of metric/imperial units

Latest comment: 17 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

This article contains metric measure of temperature in Celsius, but imperial measure of snow depth in Inches/Feet. This is a little confusing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.74.127.201 (talk) 21:24, 2 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

self-references!!!

Latest comment: 17 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hi. Apparently, the list of references includes wikipedia mirrors and wikinews articles. These are considered self-references. I can't fix this myself right now because removing those would leave areas unreferenced, so I suggest using refernces that wikinews cites, for example. Thanks. ~A H 1^(TCU) 00:23, 6 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Trimmed down meterological details

I've trimmed down the detailed weather forcasting details from the week before the storm. This level of detail isn't necessary in an encyclopedia article, and it's quite confusing to those who are not weather experts. External links and references can document the storm in its full meteorological glory. :-) ATren (talk)

Bot report : Found duplicate references !

Latest comment: 16 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

In "Aphid"&redirect=no&oldid=227910620 the last revision I edited, I found duplicate named references, i.e. references sharing the same name, but not having the same content. Please check them, as I am not able to fix them automatically :)

Name

Latest comment: 3 years ago3 comments1 person in discussion

Before moving or proposing anything, please see [1] for the name that the local NWS office gave the storm. It is currently being used in the article. Noah^Talk 21:14, 18 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

@United States Man: If you want this moved to 2006 October Buffalo storm, then you need to start a discussion. Aphid was the original title of the article. Someone else moved it to the Buffalo title and I moved it back. EDIT: Actually, I would recommend just waiting until after the other discussion closes and just use the consensus on the unofficial names from it to determine what happens to this. That way we don't have to bother with having multiple discussions. Does that sound okay? Noah^Talk 03:54, 19 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

If you want this moved, please propose it and I won't oppose since it appears to be the common name anyways. Just keep in mind that others DO OPPOSE it. Noah^Talk 19:18, 19 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
