Talk:Hurricane Tanya

Todo/Merge?
Not a bad start, but there's nothing else you can do. The storm was, for the most part, a fish storm. Very nice job with the inline references, though a source is needed for the $5 million in damage. However, given how little it did, it should be merged. Sorry, but there's no way there is enough information out there for a storm that did as little as this. Hurricanehink 21:55, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I was banking on this to get to B Class in one day just like you did with the Hurricane Felix (1995) article, the article you orignally said no in the storm request list. Storm05 13:24, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * B class in one day might be a little hard now. Regarding the storm request list, ideas can change, depending on how much information is available and how important the storm was. Personally, I am getting to the point that notability isn't the key factor in an article's existence. If this is an encyclopedia, why not make it a hurricane encyclopedia as well? For this article, though, there's not much information out there. I just did a google search, and there's nothing outside of what is written in here. If you want to have a B class article in one day, it would have to have a lot of information for a fairly important storm. This typically means a landfalling U.S. storm in the last 10 years. That limits it to Jerry (1995), Josephine (which you made before and, retrospectively, should have been kept, hint hint), and Gabrielle (though you made it, it would have to have a lot more info if it were to be recreated).

 * No damage and 1 death...this storm does not deserve an article. — jdorje (talk) 01:34, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Merged. Hurricanehink 02:17, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Restarted Article
I've given more information then Storm05--still cant find a source for the 6.2 million dollars (keeps looking).Dont delete it yet.HurricaneCraze32 20:04, 24 May 2006 (UTC)


 * The only way this article can be kept, in my opinion, is if you find a source for the damage total. Otherwise, the rest of the information could be put in the season summary. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 02:01, 26 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I only put the damage amount in via what Storm05 had-if anything he should find it.HurricaneCraze32 10:30, 26 May 2006 (UTC)


 * That's the problem with copy and pasting. Storm05 made the article without any sources. Now, if you want to remake it, you have to find those sources. You are the one attempting to restart this, not him. You could ask him if he still has it, but it's your job. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 11:38, 26 May 2006 (UTC)


 * And I'm sorry, but the information currently here doesn't justify an article. I propose a merge, unless more information is found. In addition, parts of the storm history are wrong. Tanya was never subtropical, it only resembled one. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 02:54, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree with Hink here, this article just doesn't work at this time. The most comparable storm from 2005 is the unnamed subtropical storm - affected the Azores, unknown damage and no NHC products with the exception of the TCR Preliminary Report (which should be directly linked to, not through the 1995 archive) and has no article. Until the season article is better this article is not justified - the purpose of storm articles is as a useful supplement to the season, even with the retired storms.--Nilfanion (talk) 10:12, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I think it should stay. Just becasue its short doesn't mean it deserves to be merged. Just give the article a chance. Icelandic Hurricane #12(talk) 12:42, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
 * The reason it should be merged is not because it is short. It is because it is poorly written and has no sources! Hurricanehink ( talk ) 13:38, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Keep original storm article. The issue with the writing and sources should be addressed here (say with a cleanup tag). Those are not reasons for merging. Wikipedia offers endless examples of main articles and sub articles both existing. There's no reason this can't be done in this case.--Alabamaboy 00:39, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
 * This discussion was from its original version, and thus out-of-date. That was merged and has since been re-created. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 00:45, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

DYK
I put it up for DYK saying the following:

... that one unfortunate ship had to deal with Hurricane Tanya twice in two different areas of the North Atlantic Ocean five days apart in 1995? CrazyC83 05:25, 13 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Is there anything better? That is fairly POV, and not terribly notable (one ship moved along much of the track of Hurricane Nicole (1998)). Hurricanehink ( talk ) 13:52, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Assessment
First, you should get an admin to move User:CrazyC83/Tanya95 to Hurricane Tanya (1995) by merging the histories. Otherwise it is a violation of the GFDL. Second, the lede needs sprucing up. "lifespan" should be avoided for non-living things, and its path wasn't that erratic (not even fairly erratic IMO). The storm history isn't the best, either. "It never organized itself until October 25 while south-southeast of Bermuda. However, the Dvorak technique was still unable to classify the system until October 26 as the low-cloud swirl became better organized while moving northward in the central Atlantic." What does the first sentence have to do with the other? While south-southeast of Bermuda, did the convection become better organized, or was it the cloud signature? "That evening, a closed circulation was found, and it was classified as Tropical Depression Twenty-One." For both, by whom? Try and use the active voice as much as possible. "(Operationally, it was not declared a tropical cyclone until that point, when it was immediately declared Tropical Storm Tanya.[2])" Could use some rewording, and you should avoid having sentences in parenthesis. "...as an eye tried to form in the central dense overcast." Did it try, or did it begin to form? Central dense overcast could either use explaination or a Wikilink. "(although small in size)" (get rid of parenthesis). "That afternoon," Typically, when starting a new paragraph, you should give the date again, not refer to the previous date. "However, a cold front to the west forced Tanya to accelerate in a more easterly track on October 30" What does this sentence have to do with Tanya leveling off? "That intensity held up until late on October 31" Held up isn't the best choice of words. "Early on November 1, while still a hurricane, Tanya began to lose tropical characteristics as it tracked rapidly northeast towards the Azores.[9] That morning, it weakened to a tropical storm, although the wind field became larger at the same time" Is there any way to combine the information from the two to make two more chronological sentences? The first and most important paragraph in the impact section needs a reference, badly. Naming and records should probably be merged with impact, seeing as it is a stubby section. All in all, OK start, but it still needs a good bit of work. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 13:52, 13 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Redone as suggested. CrazyC83 16:43, 13 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Try and fix the spacing in the storm history section. After you get rid of the remaining sentences in parenthesis, it'll probably be B class. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 21:05, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Fixed. CrazyC83 23:02, 13 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Was the history merge done? If not, poke me on my talk page. Also, for the record, this is the WikiProject's 800th article. Tito xd (?!?) 21:19, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Done, and upped to B. Tito xd (?!?) 23:10, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

To do
Jason Rees (talk) 17:17, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Spell out NOAA in all references
 * Add the forecasters names to all advisories/the TCR
 * Add the full dates and dont just use the year
 * You shouldn't say that Tanya was TD 21 when it was immediately declared as TS Tanya. You can however say it became the 21st tropical depression of the season.
