Talk:Hurricane Kilo

Merge?
Can we merge this draft with the existing article? The page move tool won’t allow me to do so, asking for admin help from @Hurricanehink. Jay Tee ⛈️ 03:51, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

Is this really needed?
Is the article really needed since Kilo only had minor impacts in Hawaii? Also, it is common for hurricanes to cross the International Date Line. Plus a little tip, for typhoon info on Kilo look at other Wikipedia’s.DachshundLover82 (talk) 16:00, 21 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Considering it's long MH, I see the argument for making an article. YE Pacific Hurricane 01:41, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

Peak was when it was a hurricane in the CPac not a typhoon in the WPac
Is there a way to correct the classification of when Kilo peaked? Kilo was never a Cat 4 typhoon; it was a Cat 4 hurricane. Chess Eric  23:37, 2 November 2023 (UTC)


 * @ChessEric The infobox was made a while ago, before the new ones were introduced that allow us to differentiate between peaks in each basin. I can update it now. Jay  Tee ⛈️ 02:07, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

Impacts on Japan
I found sources on Kilo's impact towards Japan. There is also a Japanese Wikipedia article on this impact as well.

An entire list of news covering the effects can be seen in this link. It would be a good idea to add these to the article, rather than limiting the impact section to Hawaii. luis  💬 21:36, 8 November 2023 (UTC)


 * @JCMLuis I'm a little confused as to what exactly these sources are referring to. There are some articles about rains and flooding from a typhoon but none specifically name Kilo and most of the sources are simply redirects to another website or section that doesn't contain a news article. Jay  Tee ⛈️ 14:15, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
 * The sources mentions Kilo by its number instead, which is No. 17. I'm not sure if you're talking about the sources from the Japanese Wikipedia article or list of sources from Digital Typhoon, or both. If it is the former, then you should check the archives of those sources in archive websites. I don't know what to do with the other option. I haven't used it much but I thought it would be useful. luis  💬 14:45, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I was referring to the Digital typhoon. I appreciate you linking it, but I don't think there's much I can add from it. However, the Japanese article does have good information on the combined effects of Etau and Kilo's moisture, so I can add that info to this article. Jay  Tee ⛈️ 17:46, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
 * If I recall, you're supposed to look up the name of the news article from Digital Typhoon on a search engine, then find a source with the corresponding name. But I think that the JP Wikipedia article would be enough to add into the EN Wiki article for Kilo. luis  💬 18:43, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Jay  Tee ⛈️ 19:45, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Updating just to say that these sources and the Japanese wiki seem to blame most of the damage on Etau, not Kilo. I've clarified this in the article. Thank you for finding the sources though. Jay  Tee ⛈️ 21:23, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Alright, understood. Thanks for adding the information to the article. :) luis  💬 21:43, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
