These articles need to be rewritten and all the unreliable sources removed.
These people obviously hate old computers and want to erase all mention of their existence. Z L Media 12:43, 8 June 2014 (UTC) The reason why there is a merger proposal is because some other wiki editors have nominated all the WeatherStar articles to be deleted. Besides, if they didn't do so well at first, then they would have been merged ages ago, unless I'm missing something that has changed in Wikipedia's policies. Also, the separate articles on the WeatherStar systems have done fine for all these years as well. MikeM2011 ( talk) 20:09, 3 June 2014 (UTC) Why bother with merging them now? It would just turn this article into a large cluster. I do not believe that an article dedicated to each version is noteworthy as this technology is not notable outside of the Weather Channel fanbase. I'm proposing that this and all WeatherStar related articles be merged into one (excluding Weatherscan). contribs) 14:49, 7 January 2011 (UTC) Merger proposal.
Preceding unsigned comment added by Apple & TWC Fan ( talk Apple & TWC Fan ( talk) 08:43, 4 December 2010 (UTC) When could an IntelliStar 2 article be created? It's been out in beta for a while. I'm wondering if it's a Intellistar-type system as well, but programmed to TWN's specs. Nowadays, TWN uses a different system that still looks almost the same as the TWN WS4000 (according to the poster of the thread at the above link). Here's a link to a thread on posted by a a Canadian fellow who shared some screen captures of TWN from 1993, so you can see for yourself: IMO, the Canadian TWN WS4000s use a much better-looking, foundry-quality font (a swiss/ helvetica-looking one) for it's forecast screens, as opposed to the more computerish-looking font used by the American TWC WS4000/Weatherstar Jrs (although that font is also used by the TWN 4000s for severe weather warning scrolls). I'm not sure about Meteomedia, but I'd assume that they used the same, considering that TWN & Meteomedia are both owned by Pelmorex, which TWC here in the USA has a majority stake in, if I'm not mistaken. This would make sense to me, since the WS4000 unit was designed and manufactured for both TWC and TWN by none other than a Canadian company, Amirix, based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The Weather Network in Canada also used WS4000s, albeit programmed with their own fonts & graphics (of course) and weather data from Environment Canada. Yes, it certainly was, at least the WeatherStar 4000.
Was this also used by The Weather Network (and MétéoMédia) with data from Environment Canada? – radiojon 02:38, 2005 May 20 (UTC)
