Major sourcing problems

[edit]

Maybe I’m nuts, but y’all have an entire section on here that isn’t sourced at all. Furthermore, the only three citations that you do have are from Environment Canada; that is a single source for all three citations. So maybe I’m nuts but you all have got some major sourcing issues. What on earth does the Canadian government have to do with NWS forecast zones? I’m pretty sure the National Weather Service has a page somewhere on forecast zones. Whoever reads this should probably look at it. West Virginia WXeditor (talk) 04:43, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And furthermore, maybe the fact that no one has touched this article in two years probably explains why it’s in such bad shape. I’m surprised someone hasn’t nominated this for deletion yet. Not that it should be, it’s easily fixable. West Virginia WXeditor (talk) 04:45, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And something else; your links to the forecast regions pages on weather.gc.ca go to an error page. West Virginia WXeditor (talk) 17:10, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You are correct. Environment Canada has removed the Canadian Location Codes (CLC) from its website. And for many years prior to them being removed there was a large banner at the top of the page saying "We have archived this page and will not be updating it." I could not find an explanation for this. This Wikipedia page together with the Wayback Machine are the only places we can find the CLCs. I have written to Environment Canada, I'll update if they answer. Gentleman wiki (talk) 20:10, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
