Hello
I don't think we ever met, but my name's Mitch. I used to work on hurricane articles often. My writing wasn't the best, so I stopped for a while. I've been watching some of your work. I am very impressed. :) - As a question, would you like to take on an 80s Atlantic storm request. I am sure Hurricanehink will go nuts, but it seems that more and more articles are popping up. I wrote three of the articles for storms in the 1982 Atlantic hurricane season - this would make an excellent Good Topic if you'd like to write Beryl (which used to have an article) and Ernesto (a fishspinner. If you'd like - I want to help collaborate with that with you. I believe that you are excellent in article writing and you need a good test :) - Mitch32(UP) 22:05, 29 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I saw :) - Ernesto remains when you're done, then if we want, we can get Debby and Chris to GA as well.Mitch32(UP) 21:45, 30 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, I ran it over with Hink. He is actually interested in seeing you finish Beryl. On the other hand, he gave grim outlook for Ernesto. I have both watchlisted, so in case something comes up. Chris & Debby need major work apparently.Mitch32(UP) 15:29, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Can you expand Cyclone Elisa (2008)? I can't because my computer can't read the RSMC Nadi and JTWC bulletins. It doesn't matter when you expand it because I know you are getting a lot of requests.--Kirk76 1854 Atlantic   Hurricane Season  20:42, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Can you also do Hurricane Ele (2002)--Kirk76 1854 Atlantic   Hurricane Season  20:55, 30 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't have the link, but the JMA best tracks for 2002 are at 2002 Pacific typhoon season. Go to the reference for the section and you will get all the bets tracks since the JMA only has wind and pressure and location. Sorry but this is the best I can do.

Typhoon Ele Advisories
Hi there Cyclonebiskit,

I see that you have been having a few problems finding Public Advisories for Hurricane Ele (2002) whilst it was in the WPAC. Since 2000 The JTWC have archived all their advisories for WPAC Typhoons and NIO Cyclones in the folder named Guam Stuff. The JMA Archive their WWJP25 Advisories which might help you out in a folder named Tokyo.

Good Luck in expanding the article

Jason Rees (talk) 18:01, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Oh no - Do you know if the advisories will open in your Mac? (check this by opening one of the advisories of the JTWC on one of the articles from this year) Jason Rees (talk) 18:22, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Fuck - i dont know what you can do then, unless i C&P them in to a sandbox and put them in a sandbox and link them back to the advisories and you use what you need. Jason Rees (talk) 18:38, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Ok Good Luck Jason Rees (talk) 19:02, 2 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Yep Jason Rees (talk) 19:17, 2 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Also if you require further sources then use the JMA's Annual reports Jason Rees (talk) 19:21, 2 November 2008 (UTC)


 * JMA ATCR 2002. is located Here The actual TCR for ELE begins on page 48 but theirs quite a bit of data in the whole of the ATCR that might be of use to you. Jason Rees (talk) 19:40, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Hernan protection
I have protected the Hurricane Hernan (2008) article for three days because of the edit warring there. Please take discussion to the talk page. You reverted six times on that article in an hour and eleven minutes. I suggest you read up on the three-revert rule if you aren't already familiar with it because your actions at the article clearly exceeded three reverts. Thank you, Metros (talk) 18:16, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Quick question in doing a quick glance again at the article: Is there another way to phrase this line: "The storm never approached land during its lifespan, and no damage or casualties were reported."? Technically, unless the hurricane remained stationary, it was always approaching land.  Hypothetically, if the hurricane was 1,000 miles offshore and moved 30 miles to the northeast, it was then 30 miles closer to whatever was up in the northeast area, so, in essence, it approached the land.  Can you find a statistic somewhere that says something along the lines of "Hernan never came closer than XXX miles from land after reaching hurricane strength"?  I don't know if that's possible to track down.  Yes, I know it's a picky thing, but, that's what I am :)  Metros (talk) 23:57, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

 * I apologize for the late response. If you ask me, Cyclonebiskit, you were being modest when you sent me your initial response. You said you weren't a great writer, when four of your articles were listed as GA-class the day after they were written (and I'm excluding a fifth one, Karina). If you really aren't a great writer, you're definitely good enough for my taste. :-) Anyway, I was thinking we could do Hurricane Olaf (2003) as a hardcore tutorial, before I create Hurricane Marie (2008) as sort of a practice test.


 * As for you, Yellow Evan, I would prefer if you stayed out of this. I am in no way stopping you from editing; it's just that I would like just Cyclonebiskit and I to work on Olaf and Marie because we will be using them as my tutorial articles. --Dylan620 ( Home •  yadda yadda yadda  •  Ooooohh! ) 16:18, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

But seriously, good luck with Ele and helping out Dylan. I wouldn't worry much about Louisiana.

Re: 2005 PHS
Yea, looking good so far. Few comments. See if there is any information from the discussions/other areas for the storm histories of each storm. Also, since you're providing the overview for the whole season (and now the season article is not technically split between each storm), you should keep in mind that you are writing almost a met. history for the entire season. That means you should note any unusually long breaks from activity, any monthly records, and, importantly, whenever more than one storm is active at the same time. Good luck with the article. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 15:39, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

I don't know that much about Fair Use, but if it's the sort of thing where it's for educational use, there's no free equivalent available, and it really accompanies the text well, then it should probably be good.

 * Hmm. PDF's aren't working on my computer at the moment, but I know the sort of image you are talking about. Yes, that would qualify as fair use, but you need to talk about the image (specifically talk about Dora's rainfall) in the text. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 22:31, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Timelines
Congratulations on your second FL, Cyclonebiskit! I'm a tad curious; advisories for Atlantic and EPac storms before 2004 are not available, and yet a timeline for 2003 is featured. How do you do make featured timelines for hurricane seasons that do not have advisories available for their storms (i.e. 2003)? Could you please show me how by using a timeline for the 2002 Atlantic hurricane season as a tutorial?

Re: Possibly
Heh, let me first say that I'm hardly the most ideal admin candidate. I got the tools because people know me, and (I believe) I've created a positive image for myself that people can trust. Most admin candidates take the route of being a regular in reverting vandalism, reporting people for blocks, etc. etc. That isn't my style, but that is how most admin candidates get the mop. I personally dislike the idea of admin teaching. Really, the best way to be qualified to be an admin is to be well-rounded and well-connected.

The first part (well-rounded) is at the discretion of the editor. It shouldn't be a facade; if you decide to go to AFD's and rv like crazy all of the sudden, then that isn't really who you are as an editor. At the same time, to be well-connected you have go outside of the article space and share your input. Myself? I built up a reputation without realizing it. I created well-written articles and helped our project grow, at the same time of doing some minor chores I didn't even think of. The longer and more substantially you edit, the more you learn, and the more people know about you.

Take writing FAC's, which was my route. If you get a small, inconsequential storm to FA status, and only two people support it with little horrah, then the experience won't do that much. On the other hand, if you do something significant (sadly Tropical cyclone is already featured), then you will get a lot of credence for that. If ten people support that FAC, then chances are those ten people will remember you. The result multiplies when you do it again. A smaller, but still noticeable impact, is using the talk pages. And yes, AFD and reverting vandalism are certainly good credentials to backup your adminship bid.

So, to long-windedly answer your question, I'll be your mentor if you still want me to be, and I'm honored you asked me. You seem to be on your way, so I'll ask you the big questions that all prospective admin candidates are faced with.


 * 1) What do you think are the best contributions you have made?
 * 2) Have you had any conflicts since becoming an editor?
 * 3) Why do you want the admin tools?

Cheers. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 02:54, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm not so sure you need the admin tools, and I'm not sure if you've convinced yourself either. If you want to go the route of saying that you want to be an extra person someone can go to, then you are bound to get some opposes. If it's about the power of blocking, then that is the typical route for admins. That means you really need to brush up on policy, since it's somewhat competitive. For example, if someone reverts a page three times in a 24 hour period, what do you do? Needless to say, that edit war on Hernan might cost you a bit, meaning you have to demonstrate appropriate warning next time. Become very familiar with the warning templates.

Also, regarding Yellow Evan, there is a relevant discussion about him on WP:ANI. Feedback from project users would be helpful.

Oh, and yea, I meant what article are you proudest of?

 * On another note, could you throw together a meteorological history for Hurricane Flossie (2007)? I stink at anything more significant than this or this. :) –Juliancolton <sup style="color:#666660;">Tropical <sup style="color:#666660;">Cyclone  17:21, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Edit warring
Just a heads-up, but you violated WP:3rr on Tropical Depression Sixteen (2008). I'm not going to block you, but please be careful. :-) –Juliancolton <sup style="color:#666660;">Tropical <sup style="color:#666660;">Cyclone  22:35, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it does. The best thing to do when you find yourself in an edit war is to discuss the matter on the talk page. Let me know once you and the IP find a compromise/solution and I can unprotected the article.

Re: Could you..?
Sure, I'll take a look soon. About Kiko, keep in mind that the automated PR review says that every page listed needs a copyedit, as it's just assumed that the writing is never perfect. :-) I wouldn't be too concerned about it, and the lead seems of appropriate length. –Juliancolton <sup style="color:#666660;">Tropical <sup style="color:#666660;">Cyclone  17:02, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Image mapping
I have mapped the image at Timeline of the 2001 Atlantic hurricane season, please check if this has any mistakes, but I hope it doesn't. Also before it can go back to FLC I think GimmeBot has to run to close the old one properly and this won't happen until 0:00 Wednesday. <b style="color:#E32636;">Rambo's Revenge</b> <b style="color:#FFA500;">(talk)</b>  16:23, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

TD numbering
There's a chance that 1969 used a similar system in the NHC maps/numbering system that 1970-1973 did, in that the missing TDs were eastern Pacific formations. The problem is, the TDs in the eastern Pacific were not numbered in the map series that year, and the eastern tropical Atlantic was generally left unanalyzed in the map series. NHC is quite aware of the numbering problems, but has not worked at resolving the situation either. There just hasn't been much of a demand for a TD climatology over the years. I have an excel file at work that is my best guess at how all the various TDs/nondeveloping systems formed in sequence in the late 1960s and early 1970s based upon all available sources. Keep in mind the tracks within that file were created by a hurricane specialist annually after the fact between 1968-1987, who then retired in 1988, and they were only recently digitized. The whole numbering fiasco likely won't be solved until the reanalysis is complete through that year. The UNNAMED systems in that file were systems they recognized after the fact, which were written up in the annual summary articles, but not acknowledged in real-time, so the only source for those are the annual articles. As for the second ST, check for a portion of a system recognized in real-time which was subtropical while it had winds of 35+ knots. If only I was a doctor... Thegreatdr (talk) 01:15, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Camille is AL0969. There are also potential issues of TDs being recognized in real-time differently than they were after the fact, which plays with the "order" of the pseudo-ATCF numbers, sometimes throwing them out of order.  I followed the numbering they use in-house for ATCF numbers in years prior to ATCF (1990.)  =)  Thegreatdr (talk) 01:29, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Thegreatdr provided good information, so it looks like your question may have already been answered; however, it might be a good idea to avoid using depression designations at all. For example, "A tropical depression forms to the southeast of X". –Juliancolton <sup style="color:#666660;">Tropical <sup style="color:#666660;">Cyclone  02:08, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

WPTC IRC channel
I don't know if you've heard of it, but the project has an IRC channel, which is a great place to talk about the project. Julian and I are usually on (Julian more than me). The instant communication is great for dealing with small issues, and talking about stuff in general. If you're interested, a lot of people use Mibbit.com. Just click here; next to IRC: click on the scroll window and find Freenode. Then, put Cyclonebiskit as your "nick", and #wiki-hurricanes as your channel. I hope you stop in some time. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 03:14, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I got Kristy's little problems. So what do you think about coming on IRC? ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 04:04, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for passing. BTW, I'm on now, but I don't see you. Can you see any of the other members in the channel? You can respond here to avoid the awkward 2 page conversation. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 04:10, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Are you sure you followed the directions correctly? Mibbit.com is the site. When it sais "IRC:", to the right of that is a window that scrolls, which by default says "Mibbit webirc". Go down to "Freenode". Then, put Cyclonebiskit (or Jason Rees) as your "nick", and #wiki-hurricanes as the channel. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 04:23, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
