From Talk:Scirocco

This page is based on a misspelling. The correct word is sirocco for the wind. the car is okay. --User:67.23.172.132, 07:41, 16 Feb 2004

I've seen the wind referenced as scirocco before. --Joy [shallot]

Merge

This article should be merged with Scirocco. Andres 18:04, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Done. I've integrated it here because I think this is more common in Italian, and the Croatian bastardization of Italian šiloko is more like it. --Joy [shallot] 20:58, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

depressing effect

User:Pwqn added a quote from a Project Gutenberg copy of a text dated 1827, which makes it free, but still not too encyclopedic. It should be rephrased. --Joy [shallot] 20:10, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Sirocco

Hello, I noticed that there is a reference here to the Australian band called Sirocco which I suppose is fine, but if you list that band, you should also list the band called Sirocco that predates the Australian one by several years. Just a thought. I added it once and it was removed so I figured the author has a preference for the Aussie band. I had understood that this was supposed to be an unbiased website.

So it is; however there was no reason to remove the internal link to the Australian band and replace it with an external link to the Californian band's website. I've added both to the disambiguation header, though I have no idea if either one is notable enough to deserve an article. —Charles P. (Mirv) 20:17, 10 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, there is room for both, but I didn't replace, I just added. Then after it was reverted, I removed both in the interest of keeping it unbiased. Regarding the wind phenomenon called Sirocco, I heard a funny quote about it: "The Sirocco comes in and kills all the flies and drives the women crazy." -Chili

mental health?

Is the article claiming that the winds can cause psychological depression, or is it hinting at some sort of mystical or spiritual element that directly causes those in the affected areas to be depressed? sdr

The generally bad state of the weather that the wind causes and brings causes depression, there is no mysticism. --Joy [shallot] 20:07, 15 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
