Otto track
Do you mind making the track for Otto up to the 1pm advisory? I also think it could be added to the seasonal summary map as well. --MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 20:09, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
 * , I don't make the tracks. I'm sure someone will make one eventually (like when the article is made). ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 22:13, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

Otto article
I think it's time to move the article for Otto that's in WikiProject to mainspace, as it is very close to becoming a hurricane (probably as soon as the 1pm advisory), plus it is likely to be a crossover storm. --MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 15:49, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
 * - why though? There isn't any increased interest yet, and little new info. In a day it'll be ready, but why rush? The article and the storm aren't going anywhere. Probably by tomorrow, but let's build up the article first before we publish it. Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 17:41, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

SWIO intensities
Where were you able to find the intensities for the Southwest Indian storms in the 60s and 70s? I asked JR the other day but he only linked me to a webarchive cache of some page from Reunion which only showed whether storms were tropical storm force or hurricane force. I added TC Karen to the 1963-64 page because it was missing, but I was unable to find an intensity for it other than that it was at least a tropical cyclone. atomic 77  32  08:39, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

TSR summaries
First of all, I honestly do now know who to ask for this but... why doesn't the TSR don't issue WPac season summaries anymore? I was waiting for the 2015 summary early this year and still hasn't published it. The reason why is that most users apparently use the TSR summary for intros in PTS articles (or AHS articles). And now, I have to create something that best describes the 2015 PTS. Typhoon2013 (talk) 02:20, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Flood/TC article
So, Hink, two things. I, having heard on IRC its GAN was having problems, went ahead and copyedited November 2016 Vietnam tropical depression, and gave my appropriate feedback on the talk page, since we've sorta flip flopped on matters like this in the past, would it be appropriate to move the entire article to a flood article or just focus it solely on the TD itself if possible? I also went through some of my older articles and observed Tropical Storm Lisette is something I never GAN'd (and finish off a respective GT). So on the talk page, I stumbled through a missing reference that I think was partially caused by the origins of Lisette, but as the storm had not been named at the time, was not mentioned in the report. If the report was after Lisette had came and went, it'd be blatant OR, but in this case, I'm not 100% sure. YE Pacific Hurricane  08:08, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

March 2017 WikiCup newsletter
And so ends the first round of the competition, with 4 points required to qualify for round 2. It would have been 5 points, but when a late entrant was permitted to join the contest in February, a promise was made that his inclusion would not result in the exclusion of any other competitor. To achieve this, the six entrants that had the lowest positive score of 4 points have been added to the 64 people who otherwise would have qualified. As a result, some of the groups have nine contestants rather than eight. Our top four scorers in round 1 were:


 * 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Cas Liber, last year's winner, led the field with two featured articles on birds and a total score of 674.
 * 🇪🇺 Iry-Hor, a WikiCup newcomer, came next with a featured article, a good article and a tally of 282 bonus points for a score of 517. All these points came from the article Nyuserre Ini, an Ancient Egyptian pharaoh,
 * 🇯🇵 1989, another WikiCup newcomer, was in joint third place at 240. 1989 has claimed points for two featured lists and one good article relating to anime and comedy series, all of which were awarded bonus points.
 * Peacemaker67 shared third place with five good articles and thirteen good article reviews, mostly on naval vessels. He is also new to the competition.

The largest number of DYKs have been submitted by Vivvt and The C of E, who each claimed for seven, and MBlaze Lightning achieved eight articles at ITN. Carbrera and Peacemaker67 each claimed for five GAs and Krishna Chaitanya Velaga was well out in front for GARs, having reviewed 32. No featured pictures, featured topics or good topics yet, but we have achieved three featured articles and a splendid total of fifty good articles.

So, on to the second round. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 but before the start of round 2 can be claimed in round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article candidate, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs!

May 2017 WikiCup newsletter
The second round of the competition has now closed, with just under 100 points being required to qualify for round 3. YellowEvan just scraped into the next round with 98 points but we have to say goodbye to the thirty or so competitors who didn't achieve this threshold; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. Our top scorers in round 2 were:


 * 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Cas Liber, led the field with five featured articles, four on birds and one on astronomy, and a total score of 2049, half of which came from bonus points.
 * 🇯🇵 1989 was in second place with 826 points, 466 of which were bonus points. 1989 has claimed points mostly relating to anime and Japanese-related articles.
 * Peacemaker67 took third place with two FAs, one GA and seven GARs, mostly on naval vessels or military personnel, scoring 543 points.
 * Other contestants who scored over 400 points were Freikorp, Carbrera, and Czar. Of course all these points are now wiped out and the 32 remaining contestants start again from zero in round 3.

Vivvt submitted the largest number of DYKs (30), and MBlaze Lightning achieved 13 articles at ITN. Carbrera claimed for 11 GAs and Argento Surfer performed the most GARs, having reviewed 11. So far we have achieved 38 featured articles and a splendid 132 good articles. Commendably, 279 GARs have been achieved so far, more than double the number of GAs.

So, on to the third round. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points equally.

 * Right. I'll reply back once I try fleshing out the MH for the Cindy article (which IMO should be needed by Thursday or earlier – depending on how strong it gets) and once more info emerges for Bret from Trinidad and Tobago (and Venezuela and other areas I can find presumably). --MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 23:19, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

WikiCup 2017 July newsletter
The third round of the competition has finished in a flurry of last minute activity, with 288 points being required to qualify for round 4. It was a hotly competitive round with all but four of the contestants exceeding the 106 points that was necessary to proceed to round 4 last year. Coemgenus and Freikorp tied on 288, and both have been allowed to proceed, so round 4 now has one pool of eight competitors and one of nine.

Round 3 saw the achievement of a 26-topic Featured topic by MPJ-DK as well as 5 featured lists and 13 featured articles. PanagiotisZois and SounderBruce achieved their first ever featured articles. Carbrera led the GA score with 10, Tachs achieved 17 DYKs and MBlaze Lightning 10 In the news items. There were 167 DYKs, 93 GARs and 82 GAs overall, this last figure being higher than the number of GAs in round 2, when twice as many people were taking part. Even though contestants performed more GARs than they achieved GAs, there was still some frustration at the length of time taken to get articles reviewed.

As we start round 4, we say goodbye to the fifteen or so competitors who didn't quite make it; thank you for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them (some people have fallen foul of this rule and the points have been removed).

If you are concerned that your nomination, whether it be for a good article, a featured process, or anything else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs!

Hi. Since you are pretty much the man for improving articles and stuff, could you please see the article I've been updating recently which is Tropical Storm Nanmadol (2017)? Are there any things I need to improve on or add stuff in or remove stuff etc?

Tropical Storm Henri (2003)
I noticed this is at WP:TFARP, but it has multiple dead links, and won't run at TFA as it is. Can you fix that and any other problems it in the next couple of days? If not, I'll pull it from the requests. Since it's early in the month, I can't give it much time since the blurb would need to be written <b style="font-family:Lucida;color:red">Jimfbleak</b> - talk to me?  13:32, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

WikiCup 2017 September newsletter
Round 4 of the WikiCup has ended and we move forward into the final round. In round 4, a total of 12 FAs, 3 FLs, 44 GAs, 3 FLs, 79 DYKs, 1 ITN and 42 GARs was achieved, with no FPs or FTs this time. Congratulations to Peacemaker67 on the Royal Yugoslav Navy Good Topic of 36 items, and the 12 featured articles achieved by Cas Liber (5), Vanamonde93 (3), Peacemaker67 (2), Adityavagarwal (1) and 12george1 (1). With a FA scoring 200 points, and bonus points available on top of this, FAs are likely to feature heavily in the final round. Meanwhile Yellow Evan, a typhoon specialist, was contributing 12 DYKs and 10 GAs, while Adityavagarwal and Freikorp topped the GAR list with 8 reviews each. As we enter the final round, we are down to eight contestants, and we would like to thank those of you who have been eliminated for the useful contributions you have made to the Cup and Wikipedia. The lowest score needed to reach round 5 was 305, and I think we can expect a highly competitive final round.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews Needed. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck, and let the best man (or woman) win!

Hello! Would you be interested in doing an interview for The Signpost?Eddie891 Talk Work 00:29, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
 * - hey there! I've really cut down on my Wikipedia time due to increased demands from RL. I could certainly do an interview, but there are several other tropical cyclone editors who have worked tirelessly in this hyperactive season to keep Wikipedia's content in such good shape, such as, , , , or . I'd push for one of them to be interviewed instead, especially as they are more active, now in Wikipedia's 16th year. Keep up the good work on The Signpost though. We need to celebrate the people who are still contributing today, to keep the encyclopedia getting better. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 20:47, 18 October 2017 (UTC)

List of New Mexico Hurricanes
Hi, hope you can help me. I’ve been looking at the List of New Mexico Hurricanes. You appear to have been the author. My question is about one of the references.

"September 2004 Weather Highlights for New Mexico". Albuquerque, New Mexico National Weather Service. 2010-07-30. Retrieved 2012-01-27.

This citation is used by several entries, but I am unable to find this one. The link works, but I cannot find the “September 2004 Weather Highlights for New Mexico”.

In your edit notes you say, “alright, got all of the info from the Albuquerque NWS (sans that nifty little table that shows storms per year, mwahahaha”. Was this actually a paper document?

I’m trying to verify the information for another web site I am working on, and I have not been able confirm some of the hurricanes listed. An example is for the one in 1951. Looking at the list of 1951 Pacific Hurricanes, the best fit is Tropical Storm Six. My guess is that the remnant low from this storm is what is being referred to on the List of New Mexico Hurricanes, but I can not confirm this.

WikiCup 2018
So the 2017 WikiCup has come to an end. Congratulations to the winner, to the other finalists and to all those who took part. 177 contestants signed up, more than usual, but not all of them submitted entries in the first round. Were editors attracted by the cash prizes offered for the first time this year, or were these irrelevant? Do the rules and scoring need changing for the 2018 WikiCup? If you have a view on these or other matters, why not join in the WikiCup discussion about next year's contest? , and. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:59, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

End of Season
