Bot's tasks for which permission is being sought: Automatically uploading hurricane track maps

Automatic or manually assisted: Automatic

Edit type (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): daily

Maximum edit rate (e.g. edits per minute): 12 edits per minute

Bot flag requested: (Y/N): Yes

Programming language(s):

Last year I wanted to start this task, but there is no tropical cyclone that time. Now it seems the time to continue the task.

The bot will:

  1. Visit tropical cyclone index page and get the recent tropical cyclones data.
  2. Visit all "Warnings/Cone Static Images" pages. e.g, https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_ep2+shtml/024116.shtml?cone#contents
  3. Fetch the hurricane track maps and upload it to commons. e.g., https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/storm_graphics/EP02/refresh/EP022019_5day_cone_no_line_and_wind+png/024116_5day_cone_no_line_and_wind.png → File:2019-07-02 EP022019 5day cone no line and wind.png

@Sandy14156, Keith Edkins, TropicalAnalystwx13, Xyklone, and Hdjensofjfnen: @Jeff G. and Matthiasb: Please give some suggestions. Thank you. --Kanashimi (talk) 21:45, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Coding now... --Kanashimi (talk) 22:51, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Sandy14156, Keith Edkins, TropicalAnalystwx13, Xyklone, and Hdjensofjfnen: @Jeff G. and Matthiasb: ✓ Done I upload the image as File:2019-07-02 EP022019 5day cone no line and wind.png.
@CooperScience: Please give some suggestions. Thank you. --Kanashimi (talk) 07:08, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Kanashimi: Your ping to me failed. Where can I find info on the correlation of the depicted sustained winds symbols D, S, H, and M vs. numerical hurricane categories 1-5?   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 16:42, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Jeff G.: It seems the NHC's forecast intensity is showing on the graph. Do you mean I should includes the information below on the file page?
D: Tropical Depression – wind speed less than 39 MPH
S: Tropical Storm – wind speed between 39 MPH and 73 MPH
H: Hurricane – wind speed between 74 MPH and 110 MPH
M: Major Hurricane – wind speed greater than 110 MPH

And sorry that I can't find the hurricane category itself on the NHC pages. Perhaps @FleurDeOdile, EllaCyclone, and KN2731: may give some ideas? --Kanashimi (talk) 20:54, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the link for the Saffir-Simpson scale on the NHC page. Hurricanehink (talk) 00:37, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A new test run: File:2019-07-03 EP022019 5day cone no line and wind (EP022019 Hurricane Barbara).png --Kanashimi (talk) 01:20, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, folks. I don't think "EP022019" bears repeating in the latest filename. Expansions of those letters could be in en:National Hurricane Center, en:Tropical cyclone (with link from file description pages), en:Tropical cyclone scales (with link from file description pages), a template here on Commons used on the file description pages, or the individual file description pages. Those are minor concerns, and I  Support approval.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 12:43, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Looks OK for me, but will be good idea to account Jeff G. suggestions. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:25, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Now the bot will also import typhoon track maps by Central Weather Administration: File:2019-07-04_TD09(原木恩颱風)_track_map_(zh-TW).png, File:2019-07-04_TD09_(MUN)_track_map_(en-US).png. --Kanashimi (talk) 14:13, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Jeff G.: Now the bot will also import Tropical Warnings from Joint Typhoon Warning Center: File:2019-07-04 JTWC Hurricane 02E (Barbara) Warning.gif --Kanashimi (talk) 22:32, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Kanashimi: Thank you, these look good. Thanks for cropping out the black bars at the bottoms of those images from Central Weather Bureau ROC, I assume they are always there and always all black in the original images. For the JTWC images like File:2019-07-04 JTWC Hurricane 02E (Barbara) Warning.gif, I think a simpler license is {{PD-USGov-Military}}. You may also want to consider categories for automatic uploads under this task and from these sources.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 23:15, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Jeff G. and Meow: The original image of Central Weather Administration, for example https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d7/2019-07-04_TD09%28%E5%8E%9F%E6%9C%A8%E6%81%A9%E9%A2%B1%E9%A2%A8%29_track_map_%28zh-TW%29.png , is good. I wonder why it cropped after uploading. About Joint Typhoon Warning Center images, I use the same license as File:JTWC_wp0519.gif. But I don't know if it is suitable. The bot will aoto-detect categories and add them. See the source ocde. --Kanashimi (talk) 23:47, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Hurricane Noah: Please give it a look if it is OK: File:2019-07-04 JTWC Hurricane 02E (Barbara) Warning.gif --Kanashimi (talk) 22:35, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, that's fine. Hurricane Noah (talk) 14:15, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@EugeneZelenko: I have ran the code for several days, and it seems no more issues. Please check again if it is stable enough for production environments. Thank you. --Kanashimi (talk) 19:44, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please point to specific run? Last 500 bot's actions are earthquakes maps updates. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:03, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
For example, File:AL022019 Tropical Depression Barry 5day cone no line and wind.png, File:EP042019 Post-Tropical Cyclone Four-E 5day cone no line and wind.png and File:JTWC Tropical Depression 04E (Four) warning map.gif. --Kanashimi (talk) 15:03, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Looks OK for me, but will be good idea to look why last file misses Licensing section and category. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:10, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I put it in the permission parameter. Or I should create a Licensing section instead? --Kanashimi (talk) 21:01, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I think tags in Licensing section are better. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 13:48, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed OK. I have move them to the Licensing section. The change will be reflected in the new images. --Kanashimi (talk) 14:08, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Please add notice here when new file(s) will be uploaded. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 15:08, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@EugeneZelenko: I have upload a new sample: File:JTWC Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert WTPN21 map.gif, File:2019 JMA 1905 map (en).png --Kanashimi (talk) 03:53, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If there are no objections, I think task should be approved. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:15, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
