I just noticed this one was fully protected. It's a bit overdone since this one really needs an overhaul. I just adapted it a few months ago so that it would work with storms in other basins but I never finished the job. Please change it to semi-protected so that others can continue to work on it. Potapych ( talk) 13:54, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
See if you approve of the changes made to the article in the last half hour. It appears they still use the older definition in the northeast Pacific, and to some degree, the northern Indian ocean. Thegreatdr ( talk) 22:56, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
Done, but you need to fix the last part of the lead. Dissipation came before it reached the islands. The source mentions a remnant circulation passing below them, but you can see from the map where HURDAT ends and the cyclone dissipates. Potapych ( talk) 15:02, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Awesome Wikipedian, Cheers, |
Once more the debate about date formatting in the Australian cyclone season articles has resurfaced. User:Bidgee has already brought this up at [ [1]]. Before this gets out of hand yet again, I would like for you to put your thoughts into whether the Australian cyclone articles should have the australian date format (Day-Month i.e. 4 March) or the US date format (Month-Day i.e. March 4). Thanks, Cyclone biskit 19:58, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Hi Hurricanehink. I'm looking for a reliable source for climate statistics, and thought you might be able to help.

I was wondering, can you show me any systems that look suspect? I've looked at pictures of the September 12,1992 storm, and I believe that it was a hurricane. John Hope said something about it when it happened. The CHC mentions two possible storms in the 2002 season, that brushed Newfoundland. There was one also in 1996, that looked as though it was a full bird TS that passed off of Newfoundland as well. Shearwater912 ( talk) 14:10, 26 March 2009 (UTC)Shearwater912

Thanks for popping in. Unfortunately, I'm becoming easily distracted, so I haven't worked on the timeline in a few days, but I hope to get back to it soon. Regarding any "grandiose plans"; I don't plan on any featured topics or featured articles, but I think I have myself a modus operandi as far as the mainspace is concerned: hacking away at the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific hurricane season timelines to make them featured lists, as well as creating my own timelines (such as the one that's currently in the workshop). Although, I will be busy with other things, i.e. school, WP:ACC (which I hope to get back to soon), and my new adoptee. See you round!

Why did you send Erick to FAR? As I said on the IRC, just let every storm (post 2000) have it own article.

What was that? Even Thegreatdr ( talk · contribs) agreed that many of the sources are independent; stop pushing your POV. – Juliancolton | Talk 13:17, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
You stated that if every named storm is following something then it is not special and therefore not notable. That is actually the opposite - every peer in England is notable even without anything extra based on their status. This is convention of important. Special means nothing. Notability is how widely known or necessary something is. They can be bland and boring, but still notable. All named storms after 1998 have been used in Global Warming research, which is why NOAA, NASA, Colorado State, newspapers, etc. pay such attention to each storm. Even the weak hurricanes mean something in the data and prove/disprove if Global Warming is affecting the climate. People will look up the data and it will matter, as "named storms" mean something whereas total storms do not. Ottava Rima ( talk) 16:30, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am sending you this message since you are listed as a GA reviewer. I would like to invite you to consider helping with the GA sweeps process. Sweeps helps to ensure that the oldest GAs still meet the criteria, and improve the quality of GAs overall. Unfortunately, last month only two articles were reviewed. This is definitely a low point after our peak at the beginning of the process when 163 articles were reviewed in September 2007. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. All exempt and previously reviewed articles have already been removed from the list. Instead of reviewing by topic, you can consider picking and choosing whichever articles interest you.
We are always looking for new members to assist with the remaining articles, so if you are interested or know of anybody that can assist, please visit the GA sweeps page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. If only 14 editors achieve this feat starting now, we would be done with Sweeps! Of course, having more people reviewing less articles would be better for all involved, so please consider asking others to help out. Feel free to stop by and only review a few articles, something's better than nothing! Take a look at the list, and see what articles interest you. Let's work to complete Sweeps so that efforts can be fully focused on the backlog at GAN. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

How far along are you? Personally, I've done an intro and have a retirement mention, plus my sources laid out, but if you wish to take the project, don't be afraid to. I'm not really that good with WPac since it's not only the first article in that basin I've ever thought of doing (retired, that is. I was planning on Linda, but the info is all over the place, especially on the death toll. Winnie in 04 was another, but I'm lacking a really good group of sources on meteorological history. If I had that, I could begin the article in earnest). I do know some of the standards (km over m, km/h over mph, and metric over imperial, not to mention the categories of JMA cyclones) So if you finish yours, please don't mind publishing it. If I have any good info you missed, I'll add it to that article.
And on another note, while I'm really gung ho about Lily, 1887 Manantico tropical storm is etching on my mind. The problem here is obvious: it's a REALLY old storm (older than some of today's terminology and a (nearly) full 50 years before the oldest storm I did, that being Nina). I have the document for land impact, a Landsea-associated document from the archives I found sourced in the Last Island Hurricane article, and a google books hit for detailed shipwreck info, but I have no idea how to go about info on Hurricane Archives. I will still try, but I'm nervous about it. As for some older haunts, I still have Alma 74, Kesiny, Alma 02, Able 52, T. Linda 97, Winnie 04, and Barbara 53 on my mind, with two ideas (Lupit 03 and Gavin), but I don't want to go too fast too soon, so if anyone wishes to do them, it's OK by me. I'm mostly doing a "soft reacquaintance" with Wikipedia writing. Cora was a test run (though I was a little shocked it made GA).
And finally, I've been really impressed with your recent Tara 61 article. I never thought we'd get an article on it, to be honest. Sorry if I sound strange. I didn't get too much sleep yet. Hurricane Angel Saki ( talk) 13:39, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

This is our current list of wettest tropical cyclones in the Bahamas. I wanted to ask you before I did this, but is a newspaper from Hurricane Archives good enough of a source? I ask because one article on Isidore from 84 pegs that Nassau was hit with 10 inches of rain, placing it in 7th where Fay is now. It, however, doesn't say something like "more than 10 inches" or "roughly 10 inches", it just flat out says "10 inches". The excerpt runs thus: "Before stalling, Isidore poured 10 inches of rain on Nassau, forcing schools and banks to close and driving thousands of island tourists indoors." Thanks! And I can assure you the article is getting good treatment. There's plenty of sources for it. Hurricane Angel Saki ( talk) 07:03, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
I actually had quite a few gripes about the project. Since I'm still not tired for the night, I guess I can mention some:
In general, my reasons for leaving are slightly selfish, but in general, I feel that by acting outside the Wikiproject protocol as of late, I can turn in articles for plenty of older storms, so there'd be a lesser backlog and we'd be able to focus on current and recent articles. Plus, I can't stand the bad vibes. What about your reasons? I wanted to ask, but I undid my typing then. Hurricane Angel Saki ( talk) 14:16, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for taking the time to comment on Cora's Peer Review. I'm not bitter if it loses GA, because I missed vital info, and to me, that needs put in, but I have a (sweatdrop) slight issue: outside the discussions, I don't know how to read the charts because my monitor blows the details up too much and I can't tell much out of it. While I skim through the disc.s, could you please help me with the charts and graphs? Thanks! (And also, I'm thinking about the Project as on your recent post and am racking my brain hard for this one. Big theories require big thoughts, so I'm taking my time).

Storm of the month
Cyclone Aila was the second
tropical cyclone to form within the Northern
Indian Ocean during 2009. The disturbance that was to become Cyclone Aila formed on 21 May 2009 about 950 kilometres (590 mi) to the south of
Kolkata, in
India. Over the next couple of days the disturbance slowly developed before a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert was issued by the
Joint Typhoon Warning Center early on 23 May 2009 and being designated as a depression by
RSMC New Delhi. As of 27 May 2009
[update], 330 people have been killed by Aila and at least 8,208 more are missing, while about 1 million are homeless. Health officials in
Bangladesh confirmed a deadly outbreak on diarrhea on 29 May, with more than 7,000 people being infected and four dying. In Bangladesh, an estimated 20 million people were at risk of post-disaster diseases due to Aila. Damage totaled $40.7 million (USD).
Other tropical cyclone activity
Tropical Depression One was the first tropical cyclone to develop during the 2009 Atlantic hurricane season. The depression formed on May 28, out of a disorganized area of low pressure off the coast of North Carolina. However after attaining its peak strength the depression began to weaken due to increasing wind shear and cooling sea surface temperatures with the final advisory being issued on May 29.
Member of the month
The member of the month is Jason Rees, who joined Wikipedia in 2007, and has written nine tropical cyclone GA's. Jason primarily focuses on Southern Hemisphere storms, as well as the Western Pacific. He has plans for featured topics for several seasons, but for now, he is a regular member of the project who adds his input in discussions on the talk page. We thank Jason for his work, and we look forward to more articles!

Project News
There is debate as usual with regards to notability, as well as the status of the project in general, but nothing new is going on.
During the last week, some editors have organized a page — Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical cyclones/Viewed stats — that has a listing of monthly page views within the project. It is under construction, although it is complete for all Eastern Pacific tropical cyclones, as well as all Atlantic tropical cyclones from 1979 to the present. Interestingly, the top 6 viewed EPAC articles are all featured, and all of the top 16 in the basin are GA's. Unfortunately, the Atlantic, at least from 1979 to the present, is much worse, despite being viewed much, much more. The top eight-viewed Atlantic articles all are viewed more than 10,000 times per month, for a total of 363889 views per month, but only two of them are featured, and none of the others are GA. As always, any help in the retired storms would be greatly appreciated.
Somewhat tying into the bettering of project articles, the basin article challenge is still ongoing. Hurricanehink is currently in the lead with a GA in 2 basins. Cyclonebiskit is in 2nd, with one GA in the EPAC. The challenge is still open to anyone, and it is not so much a race, rather a challenge just to get a fairly important GA in each basin.
The 1996 PHS GT is going pretty well. Just to let you know I will plan to send Alma, Fausto, and Hernan to PR when I get Boris to GAN. Do you think any more articles need to be created? Leave Message , Yellow Evan home , User:Yellow Evan/Sandbox

About two years ago, I was in Charleston, and you could still see tree damage from Hugo if you looked closely into the forests. Interestingly enough, '04's Charley and Gaston hit in almost the very same place, McClennanville, a tiny fishing community, that was ground zero for Hugo's devastation. Hugo was a monster, but Charley and Gaston were Category One hurricanes when they hit S.C. In fact,Gaston had been classified as a tropical storm until post season analysis showed maximum sustained winds reached 81 miles per hour at one point. Hugo was the first of the big storms that started to begin about 20 years ago. Two years later came Bob, Three years later Andrew, and the many, many landfalling storms since 1995. Hugo's anniversary is notable.Popartpete 00:08, 16 June 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Popartpete ( talk • contribs)

It has been a while since I've submitted an article for FAC. Long enough, in fact, to try FAC again, this time for wind. Like List of wettest tropical cyclones in the United States, wind has predominantly been edited by me. Let's hope for the best, despite my significant involvement. =) Thegreatdr ( talk) 22:28, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

I have to ask. Is this an actual track map and not a mistake? If it isn't a mistake, I formally declare any and all possible "Strangest Tropical Cyclone Track" contests over. Hurricane Angel Saki ( talk) 11:26, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
As far as i am aware it isnt a mistake - Its like it because the JMA doesnt give an exact postion for Minor Tropical Depressions (eg just 123E). Jason Rees ( talk) 12:39, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
Thank you page stalkers for explaining that, and letting me sleep in. :) Yea, basically they're not exact positions. Imagine if a drifting depression in the NHC basin had all of its points rounded to the nearest whole degree - it'd be weird. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk) 14:00, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
When I go on the IRC and if JC and JR are on, they often get me angry. Today, JC called my first "true" GA a mess and called me dumb. JR has also said bad words to me. I am trying to form my own opinion for a TD 1 E article, but JC and JR will not allow me to expreess myself and are saying it's disruptive. What do you advise?

Hi. No debate from me about moving 1915 New Orleans hurricane, except that in the process you broke the link to Commons. Please be aware of this and fix as necessary when you move pages. Thanks much. Cheers, -- Infrogmation ( talk) 23:10, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

I just get the idea that this person(s) only registered here to sell some stuff. I know we have a COI bot, but even at that, this guy seems blatantly promotional.

Storm of the month ![]() Tropical Storm Linfa formed out of an area of low pressure on June 14, the storm briefly attained tropical depression status before degenerating. By June 17 the system regenerated in the South China Sea. Slowly tracking northward, the storm intensified, attaining severe tropical storm status on June 19 and peaking in intensity the following day. On June 21, Linfa made landfall in Fujian Province, China as a tropical storm before weakening to a tropical depression. In Taiwan, outer bands of the storm produced significant amounts of rain over southeastern areas of the island. Along the western coast, rip currents resulted in the drowning of one person. Six hikers also were reported to be missing. In China, torrential rains triggered flooding that destroyed 100 homes, killed one person and left six others missing. In all, seven people were killed by Linfa, with another 12 missing, damages in mainland China were estimated at ¥655 million (US$95.8 million) and agricultural losses in Taiwan reached NT$400 million (US$12.1 million).
