Tropical cyclones WikiProject Newsletter #11
Number 11, April 1, 2007 The Hurricane Herald This is the monthly newsletter of WikiProject Tropical Cyclones. The Hurricane Herald aims to give a summary, both of the activities of the WikiProject and global tropical cyclone activity. If you wish to change how you receive this newsletter, or no longer wish to receive it, please add your username to the appropriate section on the mailing list.

''Please visit this page and bookmark any suggestions of interest to you. This will help improve monitoring of the WikiProject's articles.''

Storm of the month Hurricane Will developed from a tropical wave to the east of the Caribbean Sea and intensified. It crossed over Jamaica and re-emerged over water a few days later. The storm intensified into a hurricane and an eye began to develop. Will became a major hurricane over the Gulf of Mexico and made landfall on the vulnerable Gulf Coast of the United States soon after. To date, Hurricane Will has claimed over 350 lives and is directly responsible for about $5 billion of damages; of which an unknown amount was insured. Despite the damage, it is not expected that the name will be retired by WMO.

Other tropical cyclone activity
 * After threatening the Eastern Seaboard for some time, Hurricane Hink has turned away and the NHC has cancelled all warnings associated with the storm.
 * The 2007 Pacific typhoon season began with Tropical Storm Kong-rey forming on March 31.
 * There were a total of 7 cyclones in the southern hemisphere: Becky in the South Pacific, Indlala and Jaya in the Southwestern Indian Ocean and Odette, George, Jacob and Kara in the Australian region. Indlala killed at least 80 and left over 100,000 homeless; whilst Cyclone George was the worst storm to affect Port Hedland in over 30 years.

Member of the month The April member of the month is HurricaneIrene. Irene began contributing to tropical cyclone articles on Wikipedia in August 2005, but ran out of steam and left after barely 2 weeks. However, Irene's influence on the project has been wide-reaching. Her efforts led directly to two articles attaining featured status and her legacy inspired many of our most active editors to write a plethora of good articles on a wide range of storms.

New and improved articles
 * The was one new featured article: Hurricane Kenna
 * New Good articles include: Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale, Hurricane Florence (1988), Tropical cyclone observation and 1996 Pacific hurricane season.
 * New storm articles include: Hurricane Lili (1990), Tropical Storm Alberto (1988), Cyclone George and Typhoon Durian.
 * New non-storm articles include: Tropical cyclone naming, list of cyclones in Western Australia, Hurricane evacuation route and Tropical cyclone rainfall forecasting.

Main Page content
 * Hurricane Iniki appeared on the Main Page as Today's featured article on March 15.
 * Entries from 2 articles: Hurricane Katrina (1981) and Hurricane Guillermo (1997) appeared on the Main Page in the Did you know column during March.

Storm article statistics The Main Page

The WikiProject has a narrow scope, so it is not surprising that our articles are not frequently selected for Today's featured article. Most destructive cyclones are likely to be mentioned on the In the news column. We have no real control over that, but we should submit suggestions when appropriate.

However, we can do a more lot more to place our content in the other major section of the main page: The Did you know column. In the past month we created over 30 articles. Of these only 2 were even submitted as suggestions for DYK. We can do much better, please submit DYK entries for new articles when you do the initial assessment.

Can you help with citation problems?
Recently I have become interested in doing a cleanup of the articles Chakra, Kundalini, Kundalini yoga, and some other related topics and have been rebuffed when I have insisted on improving the referencing. These articles are all largely unsourced and contain many WP:FRINGE claims. Can you assist in this cleanup effort by watchlisting these articles and helping to support compliance with WP:RS issues? I have learned a lot from the makeover of the reference structure on Ganesha and want to use the same methods on these other articles, which contain much dubious content.

 * As I mentioned, I have identified the articles Chakra and Kundalini as candidates for cleanup, as they currently contain a great many unsourced statements. I have tried to implement the standard Notes and References sections on those two articles, based on the success with Ganesha, and would appreciate your help in getting the present structure into compliance with the layout guidelines.  Would you be willing to watchlist those two pages and back me up as I request that WP:RS be used on them?  Both articles are subject to a great deal of POV and additional of WP:FRINGE material sourced by web sites, etc., and I am not sure how to deal with those types of sources.

User:Lafong/Sandbox
Hello ...

Why did you summarily revert my attempt to help this newbie editor archive the article about Gale Gand before it is deleted from an expired ? (You left no edit summary except for the default UNDO boilerplate ... not even a "rvv" comment.) They did a copy&paste of the displayed text, instead of the page source, and thus lost all of the formatting and links.

Hey, I tried to do them a favor ... if you would rather that they suffer because of a typically common newbie mistake, well, that's your karma, not mine, so I have absolutely no intention of reverting your revert.

Happy Editing! &mdash; 00:55, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
