Welcome
Welcome to the Tropical Cyclone Wikiproject! We're looking forward to any future edits you can make to tropical cyclones, and we're happy to have you on board. Current projects include bettering the existing articles on retired hurricanes to GA or FA status. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Here's the latest version of our monthly newsletter. Enjoy! Hurricanehink ( talk ) 13:28, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Number 1, June 4, 2006 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
 * Tropical Storm Aletta existed in the eastern Pacific Ocean from May 25 to May 29, peaking as a 45 mph tropical storm.

New and improved articles
 * New storm articles include: Typhoon Joan (1970), Hurricane Bonnie (1986), Tropical Storm Matthew (2004), Storm of October 1804, Typhoon Chanchu (2006) and Cyclone Olaf.


 * New non-storm articles include: Tropical cyclone rainfall climatology, Dvorak technique and List of Bangladesh tropical cyclones.


 * New Featured articles: 2005 Atlantic hurricane season, Hurricane Mitch, Hurricane Irene (2005) and Hurricane Claudette (2003)


 * Articles which became A/GA class: Hurricane Katrina (A), Effect of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans (A), Hurricane Felix (1995) (GA), Cyclone Percy (A), Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 (A), List of New Jersey hurricanes (A), Hurricane John (1994) (A), Tropical Storm Isabel (1985) (GA), Tropical Storm Odette (2003) (GA)

New articles and improvements wanted
 * An article is requested on subtropical ridge
 * The current collaboration of the fortnight is Hurricane Gilbert, please help improve this article.
 * Improvements are requested to Indianola Hurricane of 1886, Hurricane Camille and Hurricane Andrew.
 * The WikiProject is likely to submit Hurricane John (1994) and Hurricane Katrina to Featured Article Candidates in the near future, so please help improve them to featured standard.

Member of the month The May member of the month is Tito XD. The WikiProject awards this to him for his brilliant work in improving articles. Tito XD 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:
 * Storm of the month: This is determined by a straw poll on the page. While all storms will be mentioned on the newsletter, the selected storm will be described in more detail.
 * Member of the month: Nominations are made on the talk page, voting is by secret ballot; read the talk page for details. The winner receives the WikiProject's barnstar (when we make it).

Main Page content
 * 2005 Atlantic hurricane season appeared on the Main Page as Today's Featured Article on June 1.
 * Hurricane Floyd will appear on the Main Page as Today's Featured Article on June 17.
 * Entries from Dvorak technique, Typhoon Joan (1970), Typhoon Chanchu (2006), and Storm of October 1804 appeared on the Main Page in the Did you know column during May.
 * Entries from 5 other articles relating to tropical cyclones had appeared in the Did you know column earlier in 2006.

Storm article statistics

The assessment scale
 * The cyclone assessment scale is one of the bases of the new assessment scale for Version 1.0 of Wikipedia. It splits articles into several categories by quality, to identify which articles are "finished" and which ones still need to be improved.
 * The assessment scale by itself counts of several grades:
 * FA: reserved for articles that have been identified as featured content only.
 * A: this grade is given to articles that are considered ready for peer review. The way to get this grade assigned to an article is by asking other cyclone editors at the WikiProject's assessment page.
 * GA: reserved for articles that have passed a good article nomination.
 * B: these articles are "halfway there", and have most of the details of a complete article, yet it still has significant gaps in its coverage.
 * Start: articles that fall in this category have a decent amount of content, yet it is weak in many areas. Be bold and feel free to improve them!
 * Stub: these articles are mostly placeholders, and may in some cases be useless for the reader. It needs a lot of work to be brought to A-Class level.
 * The way to use these assessments is by adding a parameter to the WikiProject template on the articles talk page ( as an example). This feeds the article into a category which is read and parsed to create an assessment table, summary and log.

Here's some pointers to making a good tropical cyclone article.


 * Sure :) What sort of things do you plan on doing here at the project? Just curious. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 13:32, 18 June 2006 (UTC)


 * OK, that works. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 12:59, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Re: Hello
Hello from a "newbie", could you please enable your email? I'd like to email you something. Chacor 14:22, 9 July 2006 (UTC)


 * May I ask, what do you want to email me? -- RattleMan 14:27, 9 July 2006 (UTC)


 * OK...I guess it should work now. -- RattleMan 14:36, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Re:Typhoon Ewiniar and activity
Well techincally (by the link you gave to me), Typhoon Ewiniar (now a depression) has winds of 30 kt, possibly winds of 25 mph. But nonetheless, it also stated that the depression may be activity but is now a 70% extratropical low and extratropical lows are not tropical cyclones, nor tropical depressions. Well if you look at the US Navy NRL link, it shows clearly that Ewiniar has already dissipated as seen in the active storm chart. But anyhow, it is on the verge to dissipation, or it will become a mid-latitude cyclone. Alastor Mad-Eye Moody 01:25, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, no offenses. Well I think I have read something wrong but then do you want me to revert my edits and state is now active again? Or do want to leave it since it is on the verge to become extratropical? Alastor Mad-Eye Moody 01:44, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: Alastor Moody's comments on my talk page
Just to let you know, I think you incorrectly posted the following message to Alastor Moody on my talk page instead of his:

''Alastor, anyone can edit Wikipedia. There is no rule saying what he can and cannot edit. Chacor 06:44, 16 July 2006 (UTC)''

Nevertheless, thanks for the support :). &mdash; Super-Magician (talk &bull; contribs &bull; count ) &#x2605; 12:57, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Tropical Depression Five-E Disscussion
Okay listen, if you don't care what I put up at the 2006 Pacific hurricane season disscusion page just simply ignore it or don't look at it; you don't really need to confess about everything unless you have somthing to say about it (for example, if I or someone else puts up wrong or mistaken info). And also, who else dosen't care about what I say (as you wrote on that disscusion page). Please don't take offense and start minor problems, instead you can just help Wikipedia on tropical cyclones (if you wish to). P.S. We are not all hurricane experts. Alastor Moody (talk) 05:17, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Editing Your User Page
In addition, I know and admit it that I have edited your user page, but did you read the history part of your user page, because I initally said sorry as explained down here (which too says on your history page),

"I apologize that I edited your user page, but I discovered a small error inside which I fixed for you."

Anyhow, rather than vandalizing your page or being rude, I was actually helping you cause as stated above, there really was a small error in your user page that I fixed for you. Nonetheless, you did not even put up a warning sign of editing your page to other users as I did to my user page. If you want to caopy my warning, feel free to do so. Also, please do not start arguements or become offensive for small events that really dosen't mean anything. Alastor Moody (talk) 06:07, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Re:Your comments to me
Okay, I know that I'm not a hurricane expert but if you don't know, I simply copy down the information and forecasts from the NHC, which proves that I am not a hurricane expert. I know we all have many different opinions, but you don't need to critize me about that since it is none of your business. And also, what do you mean I am not well placed to talk about these things? Also, why I edited your user page was that I was helping you, not destroying your user page. And also, next time you want to confess, think about what to do rather than just blurting out things because you have already strated a commotion and no, I did not start this, because you came into this and made problems that don't mean anything at all. And if you don't want me around you, then stop causing problems to me. Alastor Moody (talk) 21:01, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for correcting me on the "tD" mistake I introduced in the 2006 Pacific typhoon season! The problem I have is that I find "The JMA upgrades TD (the same system as 06W) to Tropical Storm Kaemi" is difficult to read. Maybe it it could be rephrased as "The JMA upgrades TD 06W to Tropical Storm Kaemi", or is that incorrect too? -- Koffieyahoo 08:33, 21 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll change the text to "JMA re-designated TS06W as TS Kaemi", which is much better. -- Koffieyahoo 05:58, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

O-TOWN
I think that, to a newbie, a link to WP:RFC probably doesn't even mean anything. I think we'll have to figure out some other way to get across to him that our primary mission here is to build an encyclopedia, not to just speak his mind or create a profile (100+ of his less-than-300 edits have been to his user page). Perhaps WP:AN/I first? —AySz88\ ^ - ^ 06:46, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: Hello
Sorry, I don't have it set-up (at the moment). If you want to talk to me there, I'll get it set up over the next few days and poke you when its done.--Nilfanion (talk) 00:36, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I've got it working now (I think). My username on IRC is the same as my WP one.--Nilfanion (talk) 14:10, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

NationStates
That shows how much I'm on it nowadays. I've submitted a request to be reinstated as a nation. Thanks for giving me the heads-up! Ian Manka Talk to me! 01:02, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Tropical cyclone disscussions
If you never knew, please stop insulting about me in tropical disscussion pages for that it is very rude behavior. Alastor Moody (talk) 05:37, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Well if I made mistakes, just ignore them. And also, I am not your business so don't bother me and talk about me to other users or in disscussion pages. And if you don't want any trouble, don't go looking for it, especially by pulling it on me. Alastor Moody (talk) 09:35, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Anyhow, I don't care what ever you are saying. But DO NOT EVER PICK ON ME BY "FIXING" MY MISTAKES AND LEAVE ME ALONE! Alastor Moody (talk) 21:45, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Alright, I blanked my hatemail page and crossed it out. Happy? Gosh, leave me alone. Alastor Moody (talk) 02:24, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

About the wind speeds in the 2006 Northwest typhoon basin, I noticed you have changed the wind sppeds from mph to knots. Your edit has not been reverted but, the article would be more easy to read if you pur both the mph speeds together. Alastor Moody (talk) 00:57, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: Hello
I don't suppose you use IRC on freenode? Chacor 13:13, 1 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I use it once in awhile, but I'm not really proficient in it. Did you want to talk to me on IRC? --  tariq abjotu  (joturner) 13:15, 1 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Preferably, please, yes. Chacor 13:20, 1 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I normally connect to IRC through Opera, but I'm at work, so I'm going to have to download Opera first (unless there is a better alternative). --  tariq abjotu  (joturner) 13:23, 1 August 2006 (UTC)


 * That is not a problem, I can wait, but preferably would like to talk today about some users, including yourself (you'll find out why later). Chacor 13:26, 1 August 2006 (UTC)


 * No problem; it won't be long, hopefully. And I'm not too busy right now. --  tariq abjotu  (joturner) 13:30, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Oh, one thing - I'd prefer to make first contact, rather than you contacting me (you'll find out why, as I said above), so when you're on could you send me a talk message with your IRC name? Thanks! Chacor 13:50, 1 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm having trouble connecting to IRC. Opera won't connect to the Internet and I'm not familiar with mIRC (although it looks like I am doing it correctly). --  tariq abjotu  (joturner) 14:00, 1 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Firewall, then? I guess I could take the long way and email you... Chacor 14:00, 1 August 2006 (UTC)


 * No problem, although you could try to contact me on AIM (or Yahoo! messenger if you must). --  tariq abjotu  (joturner) 14:03, 1 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Never mind; that's blocked. However, you can contact me via e-mail. --  tariq abjotu  (joturner) 14:04, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

IRC
I'm back home, so feel free to contact me once you're available. --  tariq abjotu  (joturner) 22:06, 1 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Are you not around or do I need to register to do one-on-one chats? --  tariq abjotu  (joturner) 01:21, 2 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Forget it; I don't really know how to use IRC (I'm using Trillian, which simplifies things a bit and I don't believe allows for registration). --  tariq abjotu  (joturner) 01:28, 2 August 2006 (UTC)


 * If you have AIM or Yahoo!, you can IM me there. --  tariq abjotu  (joturner) 01:29, 2 August 2006 (UTC)


 * What IRC program do you use? --  tariq abjotu  (joturner) 01:41, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: IRC
(Stares blankly), Uh, I guess not. However, I use AOL and AIM occassionally. My AOL name is Hurricanehinker[-at-]aol[-dot-]com and my AIM name is HurricaneDrew131. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 01:37, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Applecrest Farm Orchards
Could you please explain to me how this isn't notable, even though it's the oldest currently operation apple orchard in the US? Does it really have to be deleted? Can't it just have a cleanup tag? I'll work on it after my wikibreak, maybe a little during it. At least it's sourced, right? íslenska hurikein | #12 (samtal) 00:50, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Tropical discussions not an online forum
Thank God YOU said something. For the most part I've been driven away by people going "OMG THIS WILL BE A CAT 3 SOMETIME THIS WEEKEND!!!" and five other people fapping happily to their statement. I think I actually tried to get the "betting pools" section deleted last year, but I got a lot of "what does it hurt?" responses, and even one very nasty one. It's gotten way out of hand and I think it needs to be dealt with, the sooner the better. Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 19:37, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: Hello
No, I don't, sorry. And hi, too :) —Cuivi é nen 02:45, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

What I have to say
Okay, If you don't want me to edit your sandbox Ewiniar article, its fine, but please do not pick on me and slyly say that you wasn't giving me a personal attack. I also thought we agreed to stop bugging eachother, right? So please stop it, it is so annoying and Wikipedia is not a place you bug people just because of another's edit. Alastor Moody (talk) 03:58, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Umm... huh? Chacor 04:36, 9 August 2006 (UTC)


 * *gets angry* Why did you erase my Saomai page? Well I know what to are going to say but I put it there so that when its impact results come I just add it on. Now what are you insisting again?!?! Alastor Moody (talk) 10:42, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: IRC
Could you send me the link again? I have everything else, but I lost the website link. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 16:23, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: I need conusel
Dont take this personally, what I meant that not all rules on wikipedia are that strict. Sure theres some restriction. But that only applies to things that interfere with the purpose of an encyclopedia. Also see WP:WL. Storm05 16:37, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: Chanchu, JMA
I understand, but I at least shortened the template note to just "JMA" - "JMA categorization" is quite long for the template, and makes it look somewhat cluttered. --Core des at talk. ^_^ 04:40, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll get right on that. --Core des at talk. ^_^ 04:45, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * By the way, is there any way we can change the color of the "typhoon" bar? The current color is kind of ugly. --Core des at talk. ^_^ 04:48, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Perhaps use the shade of yellow used in the "B-class" tag? From what I can tell, the template doesn't use that shade, and it's not blue (like TD/TS). That might be a good idea for the time being until someone comes up with a better one. :) --Core des at talk. ^_^ 05:02, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Can't find the specific one. It was more the tendency to show up on storm related articles, with a knowledge of areas of Wikipedia beyond experience.  On RC patrol, I think I asked myself "gosh, this Chacor guy learned quickly" and then I figured it out in a flash. -- Samir   धर्म 00:48, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
