[edit]This article is about 'nowcasting'. The term 'nowcasting is used in both meteorology and economics. There is already an article on nowcasting in meteorology within the Wikipedia page on meteorology (and I have included a link to that). My article is principally about nowcasting in economics but I have included a brief reference to the term's use in meteorology both in order to draw the comparison and to make it more comprehensive.
As it stands this article cannot be moved to the live site because its title is the same as the one within the meteorology page. What should I do?

Want to make sure that tone is appropriate for an encyclopedic biography entry.

- A few things:
- As per WP:CITE, other Wikipedia articles cannot be used as a reference.
- Consider adding sections and perhaps an infobox as well.
- I don't see any immediate problems with the tone, but as the tag at the bottom suggests make sure your URLs (or web addresses/links) that you're using as references have a suitable name and that they're http://www. rather than just www. (otherwise they won't be a clickable link)
Hope all this is useful. Chevymontecarlo 19:43, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
- Also, I see you reference wikipedia itself. What you would probably want to do is link to the article, using square brackets so that it looks like this - [[Skull and Bones]] Worm 14:49, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

- The article seems to have been deleted since, sorry. I recommend that you develop any new articles in your userspace first rather than the main space, then it won't get deleted. Chevymontecarlo 19:39, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
