Jdorje, A-Class (or WP:GA status) is for almost finished, B-Class is for very extensive articles (like 1947AHS, which I assume is the revert you're referring to). There is a set criteria about what each should encompass, you don't just make up your own. See assessment scale.

Might I suggest, if this is an important issue, that you try creating a template which adds an article to these multiple categories simultaneously in the correct order: this will also aid in making sure the sort key is consistent. HTH HAND —Phil | Talk 10:25, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

From Jdorje/Energy
How are we supposed to find out these measurements for hurricanes? I still think this is a great idea. Maybe you could figure the moment magnetude for a lot of hurricanes and actually write it on the article page (don't forget to write the margin factor). This is really great. You should call it the "Dorje Method". Good luck with it!Icelandic Hurricane 14:44, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed that a lot of tropical cyclone maps don't show the whole track. With Cindy, atleast, you have room at the bottom of the image to show more of the system's track. Can you change it?Icelandic Hurricane 18:07, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I took a look at ({{Hurricane season single}}), ({{Hurricane season decade}}), and ({{Hurricane season 2decade}}), and they all had years/decades wikilinked, so I thought that ({{Hurricane season multi}}) should have it too. If it's wrong to do so, I'll change it back. -- RattleMan 01:44, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
sorry mate
Other than 2005 and 2006, we have no disasters by year categories. You have added to the hurricane templates to place all the hurricane articles in disaster by year categories. But since these categories do not exist, this has just placed red, useless categories on all these pages.
If you feel that these categories are needed, I would ask you to complete the job and build these categories out for all the years effected. They really do serve no useful purpose as red categories. - TexasAndroid 18:21, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
In my view, a tropical cyclone forms when it first becomes a tropical depression and gets the number from the NHC.
Dissipation is more complicated, since the dates should cover later effects that can cause serious damage. If a storm becomes extratropical far from land and never touches land again (i.e. Irene, Wilma), that date should be the date of dissipation. If a storm is over land up to the end of its lifespan, the date should be the date it either loses its identity (i.e. Dennis) or becomes absorbed by another system (i.e. Rita). If a storm is over water, becomes extratropical then still makes land impact (i.e. Maria, Ophelia), the date of final impact should be the date of dissipation.
Breaks of activity (i.e. when Ivan made that loop) should not be considered as dissipation; those periods should be treated as part of the storm period. CrazyC83 22:58, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Heres awebsite that has lots of photographs of damage after Hurricane Camille. Storm05 14:49, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
If a photo is in the NOAA photo library at http://www.photolib.noaa.gov, is it public domain even if it credits an organization that presumably still have copyright today? For example, this photo of damage from Hurricane Donna and this one from Hurricane Carol are credited to the Red Cross. Are they public domain or not? Similarly, this photo of damage from Hurricane Celia has credit given to the Coast and Geodetic Survey? Since they are from the NOAA photo library, they would be public domain, but since they are credited they would not be? I am not sure what to think. Please help me!

Hi Jdorje,
I'm not sure If you got my wikipedia e-mail but I'll try this here....
My Name is Cory Pesaturo and I made the "List of records broken by the 2005 Atlantic Hurricane Season" and I was wondering if you could gather a few people to help me make the page "Official" and clean it up so we can put it on to the Main "2005 Atlantic Hurricane Season" page. THANKS A Bunch I will continue to fix it up as well as more Final Statements from the NHC come in.

Why does everything internally linked appear underlined? Also found Damage for Tropical Storm Delta in a Tenerife News Article. At least $134 million, counting conversion, and at the time. The maximum was $347 million, also counting conversion, which is costlier than Cindy! This might have gone up since the article was wriitten though, since that was also stated in the Article.

Awesome and good job! TCFA #4! What's next? Should we go all out and try and get Floyd there, or be safer and do something easier like Iniki? Both, IMO, are almost there, so it could go either way. Looking at the list for other possibilities; Ivan and Katrina have too many problems, Labor Day is too short, 2004 and 2005 seasons are too recent and are too far off, Georges is too long and not enough pictures, 1997 Pacific season is OK but I don't think FA yet, List of Pacific Category 5 hurricanes doesn't have enough historical significance yet, and David doesn't have many pictures. Out of all of them, I vote for Floyd. Hurricanehink 12:51, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Most of the time, I check as well to see if it is a simple mis-spelling. When it is not, I either link it to something else or leave it if I think eventually it will have an article. Normally, I don't bother with redirects because I never know what is a common misspelling, though I'll try to remember that in the future. Hurricanehink 23:07, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You are quite right that this would be desirable, and I do a lot of date linking, but because of the current disagreements around the whole date delinking/linking scenario I am being rather circumspect with what I do with SmackBot. In theory, the example you quoted 15 refers to the year AD 15, so even on a technical level there are problems. However there are a number of poeple working on imporving the date links, and there is a request with the developers for a better system of implementing date preferences, so all is not lost.

It's fine that you removed the summary section so it's part of the lead, but be sure to move that picture. The only reason I did that is to base it off the 1998 season, as well as putting that picture in. Hurricanehink 04:05, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It is not incorrect; read serial comma for more information. Both usages are correct, and both are acceptable on Wikipedia. As for the ampersand, I find it more visually appealing than the full word, and it reduces the amount of unnecessary text in the table. —Cuiviénen, Tuesday, 28 March 2006 @ 23:11 (UTC)

1. Most Tropical Storm Landfalls on the United States (in terms of the United States feeling greater than 34mph from a particular storm) (9) (old record: 1985 with 8) Well as I can see even a few inches above this post the bugs are still being worked out on this one so we'll let this one go for now
2. Tied with 1933 for most combined tropical storm landfalls in the Atlantic Basin for all storms collectively (26) This one you didn't quite get so I'll explain it, It's just all the landfalls by all the storms combined....and I have checked the 1933 map in great detail so.
3. Hurricane Dennis - Strongest storm to make landfall in the United tates before August / and in July (946mb) You say that Hurricane Audrey had the lowest pressure at landfall BUT Audrey's lowest pressure overall was 946mb so HOW could it's landfall be lower than 946mb??
4. Vince – (2nd to Epsilon) Lowest Temp. for a Tropical Storm to Form (24*C) {{fact}} AND Vince – (2nd to Epsilon) Lowest Temp. for a Hurricane to Form {{fact}} You said that this record was broken 2 years ago....can I see proff??
Thanks So Much Again and I hope we can figure out these little problems here.
Musically and Snowily - Cory Pesaturo
1. A landfall means the center of circulation coming ashore. Saying "landfall (in terms of felling TS winds)" is an oxymoron.
2. This record could be right for all I know, but it is extremely hard to verify or disprove. Simply looking at track maps does not show the total number of landfalls; for storms in the Lesser Antilles it could be very hard to find out whether they made landfall on any particular island.
3. Audrey's lowest pressure was the 945 mbar that was measured at landfall. See the best track data, the list of U.S. hurricanes. [1]
4. No, I said records only go back 2 years for it. As I've said before a record is not true until disproven...it has to be proven. So to prove this record you have to find the temperature (I guess that means water temperature???) at which every storm formed.

Hey Jdorje, I'm just writing to let you know that I have started work here User:Nilfanion/2005AHS on a possible update for the list article or the season storm section, based on the existence of articles. This could provide the framework for a list/statistics merge, the ACE table should be in the list article for example. Nilfanion 00:24, 12 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Also I am aware you are concerned about the consistency problems 2005 storm articles would cause. In my view that won't be an issue, the criteria 'more useful info than the season' is simple and works. This will stop 'all articles' from going back further than about 2002 at the earliest, as the internet ceases to be much use on the lesser landfalling storms then (fishspinners shouldn't get articles unless the landfalling ones of that season do also - and they should have real impact info). Before that only 'notable' storms will have online info, so this will match up with the old criteria, but changes a contentious 'notability' one (which encourages people to test the limits) to a more concrete 'information' one.

The source for the range of deaths was the NHC report, available here. The range is determined by taking the known deaths, 28 in this case, as the lower limit; the upper limit is determined by taking the known deaths+missing, which gives 46.
What I meant by the discussion was to only include confirmed deaths in the table and infobox, rather than confirmed deaths+missing. Does this clear it up? Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 21:24, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Category 'hurricanes in the US' is a category of subcategories, each subcategory being a category of hurricanes by each state. This category pre-exists my work and I did not not change it other than adding US territories.
Category 'historic hurricanes in the US' is newly added by me as I proposed in the 'historic weather events in the US' and to which no one objected. By creating this new historic hurricane category, I am able to separate out hurricanes from all the other weather events. This makes it easier to find related objects. This category consists of articles on hurricanes (in alphabetical order) plus a few categories on those hurricanes for which individual categories have been created. Thus, it is quite different from the 'hurricanes in the US' category.
I did not propose to make other category changes and so did not do so.

Save clogging up the 2005 talk page with a semantic debate. The layout of the minor storms is more just a temporary thing I used to ease the writing; those articles ARE works-in-progress. The forecasting section is primarily an critique of how the NHC did, so the post-season changes belong in it (as they are in Epsilon). I think the problem is that daft label of 'Trivia' - Vince is no better with 'peculiarities'. The stuff in that section belongs in the article IMO, take Alpha's 'trivia' for instance. What I think would work best is a section for records, naming issues (including retirement or its lack of) and the other 'trivia'.
How does this look for a storm article layout (if sections are empty remove, or near empty just contain in larger section)? This would work for all storms whether its Lee or Katrina I think.
What do you think?-- Nilfanion 21:24, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Umm, sorry to waste time here (newbieness showing :( ) but just want to further clarify. Looking at the wikiproject page, for the fishspinners, its only going to be a one paragraph intro; without impact information 2 paragraphs seems too much of an ask. Besides tropical cyclone articles seems to all have appalling intros, with that emphasis on the "nth storm" or "officially began on", but if we can give the minors good intros perhaps the important articles will improve.--Nilfanion 19:32, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if you've already seen my work with the 1957 Pacific typhoon season, but it has really come along.

I finished off the 2004 Pacific typhoon season and am working on 2003.

Judging from some of the other talk entries on the other tropical cyclone pages, you could likely guess who it is without looking. User Talk:thegreatdr 1536, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
hi, your comments are appreciated at Template talk:featured where internal spammers keep adding unwanted & unnecessary "this featured article was once a good article!" text into the template. so far no sensible arguments have been given FOR the inclusuion of the text. please could you add your opinion if possible. thx.

Not sure who to contact about this, but shouldn't the 2005 ACE value contain the ACE of the unnamed subtropical storm (19)? Currently, on 2005 Atlantic hurricane season statistics, I do not see this reflected. — Super-Magician (talk • contribs • count) ★ 12:05, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I've uploaded a bunch of storm pictures for these seasons and was wondering if it is at all possible to make storm paths for them. Jake52 My talk. 22 May 2006
Hi there. You opened the CfD debate here, and I've started a discussion about this at Category_talk:Storms. Any comments would be welcomed. Carcharoth 11:58, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Since you seem to be in the know about the Tropical Cyclone Wikiproject (having created it and all), so I wanted to ask exactly how the assessments work for the tropical cyclones. I am kind of new to wikipedia (only a few months in), so I'm still catching up on all the little features. I think it's a good thing, having a ranking system so you can quickly see which articles need the most work. But it seems to be unique to only a few groups of articles (Tropical cyclones, chemsitry, etc.). Why is this, how does it work, and how do I get other articles assessed?

Hi there. Just a brief, and late, follow-up to your comment at Category talk:Storms: "calling categories "Storm" and "Storms" and expecting the reader to know which is which isn't going to work". I agree with you in general, but there is precedent in the case of Category:Opera and Category:Operas and Category:Disaster and Category:Disasters. Well, the latter was an example until it was changed to Category:Emergency management... Carcharoth 12:37, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Tropical cyclone editor,
As a member of the Tropical Cyclone Wikiproject, you are receiving this message to describe how you can better tropical cyclone articles. There are hundreds of tropical cyclone articles, though many of them are poorly organized and lacking in information. Using the existing featured articles as a guide line, here is the basic format for the ideal tropical cyclone article.
Good luck with future writing, and if you have a question about the above, don't hesitate to ask.

The Hurricane Herald
This is the monthly newsletter of WikiProject Tropical Cyclones. The Hurricane Herald aims to give a summary of the activities of the WikiProject over the past month and upcoming events over the next month. In addition monthly tropical cyclone activity will be summarized.
You have received this as you are a member of the WikiProject, please add your username in the appropriate section on the mailing list. If you do not add your name to that list, the WikiProject will assume you do not wish to receive future versions of The Hurricane Herald.
Storm of the month
Typhoon Chanchu was the first typhoon and first super typhoon of the 2006 Pacific typhoon season. Forming on May 9 over the open western Pacific Ocean, Chanchu moved over the Philippines on the 11th. There, it dropped heavy rainfall, causing mudslides, crop damage, and 41 deaths. It moved into the South China Sea, where it rapidly strengthened to a super typhoon on May 14, one of only two super typhoons recorded in the sea. It turned to the north, weakened, and struck the Fujian province of China as a minimal typhoon on the 17th. The typhoon flooded 192 houses, while heavy rainfall caused deadly mudslides. In China, Chanchu caused at least 25 deaths and $480 million in damage (2006 USD). Elsewhere on its path, strong waves from the typhoon sank eleven Vietnamese ships, killing at least 44 people. In Taiwan, heavy rainfall killed two people, while in Japan, severe waves killed one person and injured another.Other tropical cyclone activity

Member of the month
The May member of the month is TitoXD. The WikiProject awards this to him for his brilliant work in improving articles. TitoXD joined the WikiProject in October just after it had been founded. Since then he has contributed substantially to many articles, for example Hurricane Nora (1997), which is currently a Featured Article Candidate. He is also actively involved in the assessment of articles and so helps to improve many more articles.
Explanation of content
If you have a topic which is not directly related to any specific article but is relevant to the WikiProject bring it up on the Newsletters talk page, and it will probably be included in a future edition of The Hurricane Herald.
These two sections are decided by the community on the newsletter's talk page:

Could you make tracks for the 2005 EPAC season? Hurricanehink (talk) 21:21, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hey Jdorje some things to do with trackmaps. First is a request, could you recode to produce according to the Project colour scheme, it is generally accepted now. The second is a question, I would like to be able to help with the whole making of them (particularly relevant if there is a mass migration to the correct scheme upcoming). Could you tell me what I need to do to get going on that front? (If it is even possible)--Nilfanion (talk) 23:49, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what your 3 websites were, but the only official data for such records is the HRD best track data from the hurricane re-analysis project. See here; look at the easy-to-read version or import the tabbed format into a spreadsheet program and fiddle with it to get the ordering you want. — jdorje (talk)
Why is your program using an ascii file to store the coordinates of a tropical cyclone? Why not use a database to store coordinates for tropical cyclones? Reub2000 02:22, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I was looking about our storm track image you created for Tropical Storm Alberto, but it was a pretty neat work, but I was wondering if you were able to like show what happened to the remants of Alberto when it became extratropical til it dissipaed. I was just asking, but if you don't want to do it, its okay, cause the reason is to show about Alberto's afterlife. Thanks. Alastor Moody 16 June 2006

I was bored today and I noticed that Ophelia's TCR was updated on June 14th. When I downloaded it, it said the track near Nova Scotia had been updated. I checked the date of the currently-uploaded track and it was in January. Sorry to bug you about this, but it looks like the update has extratropical-Ophelia making a brief landfall in Nova Scotia:
"This motion brought the center about 60 n mi southeast of the Massachusetts coast on 17 September, then over eastern Nova Scotia and Newfoundland on 18 September."
This is what it said before the update (yay for backups):
"This motion brought the center about 60 n mi southeast of the Massachusetts coaston 17 September and near the southern coast of Nova Scotia on 18 September."
I would do it myself, but I can't make much sense of the instructions you have. Maybe someone could make a program that would make it a lot easier.
I have updated the Ophelia article with the new landfall (if I'm reading it right). Thanks! -- RattleMan 00:50, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, nice to see you back. I hope you enjoyed your time off, and that everything is well. --Hurricanehink (talk) 18:16, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, ditto. What command do I need to use to upload the changes? I can't figure out the svn commands to do that right. I could just email you the output from the svn diff if that's easier for you.--Nilfanion (talk) 18:22, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I've uploaded a load of updated data files to the GNA site as a patch (though I suspect you noticed with all the emails), I've been converting a TON of raw data to HURDAT format (its the most versatile format for composite maps at this time). Could you get around to giving me committ access sometime?--Nilfanion (talk) 19:33, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I know you have made me a member of the GNA grouping, but I can't actually figure out how to commit anything (I'm incompetent at times...). What do I need to do? My local data set is more developed than the current version; the names are included and 2004 are included. One consequence of that is my storms.pl is substantially different to the upstream version, it includes many more storms and handles a lot of them more efficiently.--Nilfanion (talk) 20:45, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand. They're here, here, here, and probably most of the other articles that have been updated with those boxes. Good kitty 23:48, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
