Eurasian Economic Union

Hello Therexbanner, the Eurasian Economic Union will launch on January 1 2015 with Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan as its members states. Tajikistan may join in the future. As you are interested in Russia, if I may I would like to ask you to help assess the article so that we can get it ranked as a good article before January 1 (if you have the time and wish to do so). We're currently working to make it fit the featured article criteria. If someone could assess the article it would be greatly appreciated. We would like the article to be ranked as a Good Article and be in perfect state before January 1. (This is purely voluntary although any help will be greatly appreciated).

Many thanks —Mentoroso (talk) 22:31, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

Sure thing, I'll take a look and see if I can help anywhere. Cheers, --Therexbanner (talk) 23:15, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

Climates for Durham Region

Hi, I understand your discussion with me but some parts of Toronto including Scarborough is still a Dfb climate. Also I have added some climate graph for some Durham region cities including Pickering, Ajax, and Whitby. --Hazen89 (talk) 15:53, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Just replied on your talk page.--Therexbanner (talk) 16:17, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

So I have added different climate graphs for Pickering and Whitby, so if there's any mistakes, please fix it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hazen89 (talk • contribs) 13:47, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, again they are not sourced from an Environment Canada weather station, and are not ideal/official for those locales. To be honest, I'm not sure you'll find a separate full weather station for each small area of the GTA. Also the table formats are all wrong, so I'm not sure what exactly you improved. The weather template used across Wikipedia can be copied from the Toronto or London, or New York City or a million other city articles. Once you find the correctly sourced Env. Canada weather data, input the numbers into the template, and paste it into the article, similar to what you did with the Durham Region article. Also, please look up the Koppen definition of an Oceanic climate (Cfb) as none of those towns fall under the definition (because their winter months' average temperatures are below -3C.)--Therexbanner (talk) 00:28, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

I changes all Durham region cities to Dfb. Hazen89 (talk) 16:22, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

@Therexbanner: I have looked at the climate data for each location within Durham Region and searched it through Environment Canada's database to see if any weather stations are there. Although Ajax is available, the data length is too short to be considered and the sources used are not reliable. For example, the meteoblue source used in the climate for Whitby is not reliable since it is based on models, not observed data. It should be removed. Ssbbplayer (talk) 03:22, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

That makes sense, feel free to change, remove, etc. The user that was insisting on adding that data ended up being blocked for vandalism anyways. Cheers, --Therexbanner (talk) 04:36, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Compromise edits

I had the decency to keep your edits on the humid subtropical climate, alongside my edits (which had sources). I hope that this is a good compromise. You should've at least looked into that first before making hasty complaints about me to the admins. I may have overreacted. I had a bad day after all. Your replies were civil and courteous, so I apologize for not giving you that in return. - Meganesia (talk) 06:11, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I think that is a great compromise as well. Given that you've found sources for the 0C isotherm, it's only fair to include both points of view as you have done now. This should apply to all city articles involved as well (as I have tried to do before, until it was reverted by the IP vandal.) My only concern was with making sure that we follow the guidelines approved by the scientific community, and I certainly was not trying to claim that S. Ontario is subtropical in any sense, apart from the one invented by Koppen.

I think it is similar to some parts of South-Western Canada (ie. Victoria, BC) being classified as "Mediterranean" although the climate is nothing like the typical associated areas of Spain or Southern France. Likewise, Amherstburg's climate is way different from Dallas, TX, but does fall into the Cfa category under the original/-3C guidelines.

Regarding your response, I accept your apology, and also feel bad for being a bit strict with you, as I should have looked into your edit history and the fact that you had a good overall background on Wiki, which is why I was surprised at your initial sarcastic response to my statement.

I think what threw me off was the IP editors/Hazen89's unwarranted hostility which I initially assumed you shared too. Who would've thought that a minor climate discussion would get such a strong response from some people?

Hopefully, this'll blow over and we can collaborate on Wiki, if the time comes. Cheers, --Therexbanner (talk) 15:56, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

P.S. I modified the Amherstburg article to cover all points of view. I think this version should work for everyone, hopefully. Not sure why Tecumseh was listed as Cfa in the first place, since that weather table comes from a random online source, and not Environment Canada. I couldn't find any nearby weather stations, so I will remove the table & claims altogether.--Therexbanner (talk) 16:30, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for accepting my apology. It's just that other Wikipedians can be relentless and condescending. I made a mistake by lumping you with them. I just had a bad experience with them (not that I break the rules and such, but I can be a passionate editor). But you seem like a decent sport. Anyway, thank you for being very lenient and humble. Glad that we settled this. And please, do your thing. :) Meganesia (talk) 12:03, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Nepean Climate

Subtropical climate in Toronto by 2020 or 2030?

Hi Therexbanner,

I have a question about an edit to the article on Toronto you made on February 19th, 2016.

The climate section mentions the following:

As a result of ongoing climate change, studies sanctioned by the City of Toronto predict the climate to shift to the humid subtropical (Köppen: Cfa) category sometime between the years 2020-2030.[82]

The citation is as follows: http://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2013/pe/bgrd/backgroundfile-55152.pdf

However, from following that link and doing a search for the terms "subtropical", "2020", and "2030", I couldn't find any results that support the claim given. Maybe I'm just not seeing things...can you point out the information in the PDF that supports this? I've also googled this claim, which I think would be pretty noteworthy and published in a number of places, but I couldn't find anything other than this very article.

Thanks in advance.

--Speyeker (talk) 04:51, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi,

The projections for the climate of Toronto in the official report, for the period ranging from 2020 to 2030 (depends on the model used, as the report looks at several) and beyond, show temperature points & overall climate patterns that would fall under the Cfa classification (I used "humid subtropical" as that is the term applied to the category in Koppen's classification & in Trewartha). The estimated coldest months' averages are above 0C and the warmest month averages above +22C. I am unable to insert screenshots into Wiki, but you can find the temperature estimates at the end of the report, under the various "temperature summary" headings.

As this is the only officially sanctioned study of its type (at least in Toronto) this information is not that widespread, especially on Google.

Hope this makes sense, --Therexbanner (talk) 07:19, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Ah, I see. Thanks for clarifying! Sorry I posted it twice. Speyeker (talk) 18:49, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

No problem whatsoever, I'm glad more people are interested in the details of this stuff and happy to discuss these kinds of things. Cheers,--Therexbanner (talk) 18:50, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
