Talk:1999–2000 Australian region cyclone season

Article name
Just having a quick read the first thing that grabs my attention is the article name shouldnt it be at 1999-2000 Australian region cyclone season. Gnangarra 11:33, 15 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I always thought this would be more sensible. The BoM also labels the title as "1999-2000", unlike 2000-01 and the others. Naming conventions (numbers and dates) also mentions this too. RaNdOm26 (talk) 14:54, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

review
I was asked to provide a review of things I see as needing some attention or discussion before going to GA. Additionally sources are all BOM reports, there must be some media reports that can also be used especially for the larger storms, and where the information isnt technical but damage reports.

 * Severe Tropical Cyclone Leon needs expansion, while its not directly related to the region saying what area it passed into and where it crossed the coast causing damage would just round the section off.
 * Cyclone Steve this article says Steve actually made landfall four times on the Australian mainland. and the Cyclone Steve article says Steve is the first known Australian cyclone to make four distinct landfalls in the country. to me thats kinda of an important fact that should be in this articles summary.
 * Had John failed to turn to the south-east like what it did, damage to the towns of Karratha, Dampier, Roebourne and Wickham caused by John would have been much worse, is this necessary speculation I know its sourced but what does it add to the article. Every Cyclone has a whole series of what ifs.
 * Paragraph intro to Storms links to the There are four warning centres in this region or a least a mention of what they are.
 * same section Storms Furthermore, storms are listed below in chronological order of naming...//...but this section does not list the storms by the area they formed in one statement is redundant.
 * Sites like reliefweb, and Padgett's summaries offer some impact reports. BoM's montly summaries are also good sources for that.Potapych (talk) 19:07, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Maximum winds
I used data from that WMO review even though it doesn't match with BoM's best track data. For example, the raw best track puts Steve at 81.6 knots, which is a Category 3 severe tropical cyclone. Tessi would be 75.8 knots, and Vaughan at 91.4 knots. I do not know which is correct. Also Rosita and Norman were category 5's, but the BT data shows them as much weaker. The WMO reports agree with this.Potapych (talk) 19:06, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
