Image 1	Image 2

Since there is a clear discrepancy with what picture to use for the infobox on the main article, we need to immediately settle this once and for all. I'm tried of people fighting over this and we need a good consensus as to how we are going to approch this, otherwise this is "Goni" to be a continuing major issue. I'm sorry for the pun but not. Anyway any ideas on what should we use? Thank you. Flasty Jam (talk) 00:48, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Pinging the heavily-involved editors: LightandDark2000, AwesomeHurricaneBoss, and Wowiskwpoopi. The process is "bold, revert, discuss", not "revert, revert, revert". Please air your thoughts here. It's better to resolve this here first instead of WP:ANEW. Chlod (say hi!) 00:54, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

I think we should use Image 2 (the nighttime visible satellite image). Not only is it more realistic, it is closer to Goni's peak intensity, which happened at 18:00 UTC on October 3. According to WPTC infobox image guidelines, we use the most iconic image of the storm. If no such image exits, we use the best high-quality image closest to the peak intensity that we have available. Both images are comparable in terms of resolution/quality. However, image 2 is more realistic and closer to the storm's actual peak intensity, so we should use it instead, per our image guidelines. Who cares if it has a line? We use images with lines in other storm infoboxes as well. Our images do not have to be perfect. They just need to represent the storm as accurately as possible. BTW, the main edit-warrior, User:Wowiskwpoopi, has been revealed to be a sock of User:Mazum24. The sockfarm has been CU-blocked on en.wiki and will likely be Globally Locked by Stewards in the near future, so this person's opinions no longer matter regarding these images. And these edit wars honestly need to stop. I do not like the thought of this, but if I see more of these wars, I may report them directly to an administrator.

I support using Image 2 per LightandDark2000. CodingCyclone ^{[citation needed]} 22:48, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Redid the second VIIRS DNB image to remove the swath cut and make the clouds look less transparent. I take preference to this image against the first IR. Supportstorm (talk) 19:03, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

I am in favor of picking Image 2, although it was not at peak it is more visually better and it is close enough to the peak anyways. Supportstorm has made a nice edit to Goni. Flasty Jam (talk) 23:05, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Image 2 for sure. I always have hated the night time IR images and yours is significantly higher res. Hurricaneboy23 (page) * (talk) 23:51, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Goni is now the most intense in 2020 because Yasa lowered by FMS. Daniel boxs (talk) 23:45, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

@Daniel boxs: please provide a source for that information. Elijahandskip (talk) 00:09, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

Talk to Final-Fantasy-HH (talk) to believe that FMS has slowed Cyclone Yasa. Daniel boxs (talk) 00:17, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

@Elijahandskip (talk) Daniel boxs (talk) 00:19, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

@Daniel boxs: which pages specifically are you wanted edited? I just checked did a brief check on some articles, and I do not see any information on any article that needs updating. Could you list the articles that need updated? Elijahandskip (talk) 00:25, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

can you edit all the Pages or Articles where Cyclone Yasa is still leading in 2020 which is the strongest because Typhoon Goni is stronger and FMS has weakened Cyclone Yasa so Goni is the Strongest. Daniel boxs (talk) 00:33, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

Which pages? Elijahandskip (talk) 00:33, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

2020–21 South Pacific cyclone season, 2020 Pacific typhoon season, Tropical cyclones in 2020, Cyclone Yasa and Typhoon Goni page. Daniel boxs (talk) 00:40, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

Well Daniel boxs, I checked each of those and they all are already fixed with correct information. I see no edits that need to be done to them. Elijahandskip (talk) 00:45, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
