Radar image of an intense tornado in 2023
@Charlesjsharp: , if I may ask, how is it "messy"? It seems to be no "messier" than the only other radar FP, File:05june-dow7-wide.gif. A little bit of clarification on what "messy" means would be helpful. WeatherWriter (talk) 04:47, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The composite of four images look a mess; poorly assembled (see top left frame) and we have no idea what we are looking at. Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:00, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
A full description of what each screen means was added to the description. That is how the radar frames look from the government. There is no difference from that and the other FP radar-image. Both show tornadoes on the ground. Either way, everyone can see and understand every part of the image now based on the key in the description.

  •  Oppose A lot of colors with no explanation on the file page about what is going on in the different images, why there are four of them, what the different colors signify, what does the scales mean, why is there a white line in the images, where are the coordinates for the radar station, etc. The file description doesn't even mention which country we are looking at (yes, I can deduce this from the categories, but never take for granted that everybody on the planet know the US geography). This may be all in a day's work for a meteorologist, but for us weather laymen it is very hard to interpret what the images represent. The odd frame on the image top left doesn't help either, and the file name seems off since it's in singular and we are looking at a four images montage. Plus the caption box on the file page should be added too. --Cart (talk) 17:28, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
W.carter, a key was just added in the caption of the image. It’s government radar imagery for a tornado that was destroying things at that moment. That is all now explained in the caption for the image. WeatherWriter (talk) 19:44, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
