Draft for hurricanes in Haiti
Hey there! I also like hurricanes, hence my user name. So your draft is a decent start. Don't worry about the title, that can always be fixed when/if it's ever published. You're going to need to add sources to the article if you want to make sure your draft can exist as an article. Also, it might be easier if you combined both Haiti and the Dominican Republic. I'd say about 95% of storms that affect one country affects the other. Don't forget to add images :) So what kinda help do you need for the draft? Finding sources? Formatting stuff right? ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 02:13, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

yes, thank you so much I like hurricanes (talk) 02:14, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

I am working on images right now too I like hurricanes (talk) 02:14, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The draft has really evolved! Good job with that. Yea, it takes a long time to do, but once it's done, you might be able to nominate the list for featured list, provided it's comprehensive and everything is well-sourced. Even if you don't go that far, you're providing a good resource. Feel free to publish whenever, since it's more than just a draft now. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 20:09, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, it is so true that it takes a long time and sometimes I took a 2 day wikibreak, (: I like hurricanes (talk) 20:19, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Also, you should use the original year's currency, and not inflate it. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 02:06, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

Great work on your draft, I hope you create more on Wikipedia soon! ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 01:10, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

Hurricanes in Hispaniola
Hey there I like hurricanes! I took a look through the article, and one thing that still needs to be fixes is the citations. After every storm has at least one citation, I can review it for B and GA class. Good job, and keep working on the article! ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 17:33, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

I see but, it’s kinda hard to get citations for storms that are in the 1980s, 1970s, 1960s, etc. I will keep working on the article as much as I can, in fact, right now I am adding in 2000-present storms that I missed I like hurricanes 17:38, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Great! I just conducted a B-class review. ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 17:49, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
 * , list articles like Hurricanes in Costa Rica can't be GAs. Instead, it could become featured lists instead.  SMB9 9thx   my edits  05:19, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Then I'll review it for FL when the time comes. ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 14:25, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

thank you so much, it feels nice to know people appreciate my work in List of Hispaniola hurricanes ~ I like hurricanes

Hurricanes in Central America
Hey there I like hurricanes! I was planning to make Draft:List of Central America hurricanes a specific format, per my project.


 * Lead
 * Hurricanes by country (not by year)
 * Belize
 * Costa Rica
 * El Salvador
 * Guatemala
 * Honduras
 * Nicaragua
 * Panama
 * etc...

This will likely be more of a topic article, rather than an article of its own per. Feel free to work on Draft:Hurricanes in Belize.

I am thinking of deleting Draft:List of Central America hurricanes (though I am not sure how to), as this project sounds nice; I think I will do Honduras or Belize when I have the time. I like hurricanes

Also, good job on completing the Costa Rican article (wow you did that in one day) I like hurricanes (talk) 00:08, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Guess I had time. I don't have much time though tomorrow. It's OK, you don't need to delete the draft. ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 00:12, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * In fact, i have moved the Draft:List of Central America hurricanes (first iteration, now a redirect to a draft i have started for the parent article of Destroyeraa's current project, Draft:Hurricanes in Central America) to Draft:Hurricanes in Honduras to preserve the work you have. You don't need to delete the draft. We save everything.  SMB9 9thx   my edits  03:27, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

, : I was wondering, should I change the name of List of Hispaniola hurricanes to maybe Hurricanes in Hispaniola as other articles like Hurricanes in the Bahama Archipelago, Hurricanes in Costa Rica, etc.. have had the Hurricanes in..... I like hurricanes

Your signature
Hi there I like hurricanes, your signature is currently I likehurricanes. Is it intended to be this way, or is it a tiny mistake? ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 16:54, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
 * thanks for telling me, fixed it. I like   hurricanes  20:31, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
 * No problem. I like your userpage, especially the "storms I experienced" part. I did one myself. It's amazing how many storms hit me this year (3!). By the way, did Eta do anything to your town? ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 02:31, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
 * you just reminded me to add that to my "storms I experienced" thing. Yes, Eta took out power for me for around 45 minutes, and when I got home, I saw some branches lying around. It had also rained a lot. 2020 is crazy, I got around 4ish storms this year, including Bertha, Cristobal, Isaias (got a TS warning), and Eta. I like   hurricanes  02:37, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

Most people in Tennessee do not get TS warnings. Zeta made them get one. Zeta also made me get a trace of snow, while High Point, New Jersey, around 60 or so miles northwest of me got 2.4 inches! Boston got nearly 5 inches from a tropical storm! Isaias was crazy and most people sheltered inside their house for the whole time. Those who didn't sadly got their cars damaged from flying branches and stuff. After the storm was over, 1.7 million people in my state of NJ had no power, including my family and I, and we all surveyed the damage. Luckily our house wasn't daamaged, though one of our neighbors had a pine tree crush their roof. Fay didn't do much except some garage flooding. I'm glad we both were safe during the crazy 2020 storms. ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 13:44, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
 * wowzers. It's crazy how many storms could be retired - Isaias, Laura, Sally, Delta, Zeta, Eta, Iota. Not sure if Greek names can be retired but if they could, we have more retired green names than normal names and we could have a new record. Also, thanks for passing Bertha! I like   hurricanes  18:42, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Happy to help. Also, if you didn't know already, there's a Discord Channel for WPTC debates, it can explain a lot that's going on-wiki. Also, we can discuss forum things too.


 * To be honest, I hope the NHC asks the WMO to get rid of the Greek Alphabet list altogether. If you retire Delta, Zeta, Eta, and Iota, why no just retire the whole list and make a new one? I'm not the only one who shares this view - some meteorologists do too! ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 19:26, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
 * After this season there is no point of having a Greek alphabet when it's just gonna make more people have (bad) flashbacks (especially in Central America and Louisiana). Anyways, I need to actually get Draft:Hurricanes in Honduras to an article. I like   hurricanes  19:44, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Actually, Greek names can't be retired. In the record books, it will say something like Iota2020. 🌀 Hurr icane Geek 🌀 {talk|contribs}} 14:24, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

Draft:Effects of Hurricane Charley
I put it so it says a category 5 by accident. Can you fix it to category 4? Thanks. --HurricaneTracker495 (talk) 19:53, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

Hey Cyclone Toby!
Nice new name! ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 13:57, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm laughing so hard because I came home, not knowing me name changed, and I failed logging in so many times they thought I was a bot... I'm dead I like   hurricanes  20:26, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
 * So what happened? ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 01:29, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I had just come home, ready to edit Wikipedia, and I was logged in (I forgot to log out, but I trust my family enough not to do some snooping and vandalizing), but because my name changed, it logged me out. Anyways, I put in my usual login information, and when it said
 * Username or password incorrect, please try again
 * I was confused, put back in my password information, and kept putting it in until it wanted me to do the "distinguish the word" thing, so I did it, until I remembered I had earlier asked to change my name, so I searched up User:I like hurricanes, and sure enough, User:Cyclone Toby popped up. So long story short, I got locked out of my account for three minutes because my name changed. Cyclone   Toby  contribs 01:34, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Ah, that's ok. So what's with the new name? And also, I really enjoy reading your user page. Cheers. ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 01:40, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
 * not sure what you mean "what's with the new name?", but if you mean how I got the name here's the (finally short) story. So one day, I got fed up of being I like hurricanes (awkward name, and it was long), so I thought, why not name it Toby (after the stuffed dog in my info box picture), and since my mum is from Aussie land, why not make it a cyclone? Cyclone   Toby  contribs 01:44, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
 * That's what I meant. Nice story, very interesting! "I like hurricanes" is a rather long name, but it's how most of you know you. Cyclone Toby is a great name, as we have a lot of "Hurricanes" (Hurricanehink, Hurricane Noah) and "Typhoons" (Typhoon2013). We also have a lot of cyclones (Cyclonebiskit, CycloneYoris), but none named Toby! ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 01:51, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

yeah, I don't think we even have a Typhoon Toby or Hurricane Toby, those though two do have a nice ring to it. Hopefully, everyone will start remember me as Toby, though most people had problems pinging me because it would capitalize Hurricane, and then they would tamper with it, and then it wouldn't send. Cyclone  Toby  contribs 01:55, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, pings only work the first time. ~ Destroyeraa 🌀 02:08, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
 * wow.. the last couple of weeks have been crazy. I was certainly suprised, but I never lost faith in you as it wasn't ever used for vandalism. Anyways, do you think the actual size of the entries in Hurricanes in Honduras is good? Stay safe, Cyclone   Toby  19:53, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for not losing faith in me. The entries in Hurricanes in Honduras are well written! The most impactful storms could need some more expansion though. However, great job on that! ~ Destroyer 🌀🌀 20:02, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

A Barnstar for you!

 * thank you so much! Also, for Effects of Hurricane Zeta in Maryland - I'm not sure if the impacts in Maryland is enough for an article, but if you think so, you might want to ask, an expert in the topic of Hurricane Zeta. Stay safe, Cyclone   Toby  20:29, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
 * OK, will do! Enjoy the barnstar! 🌀 ❡ €€ ϰ  🌀{talk ⋅ contribs}} 20:45, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Effects of Hurricane Zeta in Maryland probably would not meet the requirements for an article – as a storm would typically have to have caused $4-5 billion in damage and/or 10 deaths in a certain location – which Hurricane Zeta just doesn't meet in Maryland. Also, not that many reliable sources say much about the impacts in Maryland, so it might be difficult to make a good article with enough information. Also, given how short the main article is, especially the Maryland parts, there doesn't seem to be a need for it – usually we create a separate impacts article when too much information in a section is overflowing the article, and at that point we would create another article. So overall, I don't really think we need that article; maybe one about the effects in Louisiana, but even then that might not meet the requirements.
