About 01W (Agaton)......
Um.... What can I say to this? I think it might be a good idea to shrink 2018 typhoon formation date to yesterday? Because I think it would be cool. - Nino Marakot (My talk) 10:48, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
 * First of all welcome back. Well if you may have forgotten, we always follow the RSMC which is the JMA. 01W (Agaton) developed on December 30, 2017, and was discussed and agreed that this system is to be part of both seasons. See 1978/79 season PTS articles. I know it's weird as I personally think that it is a 2017 system, but meh I agreed to be part of 2018 as well. -- Typhoon2013  10:56, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, i don't blame you. And one more thing, how its going on your uploads? I guess you still upload low-quality Worldview images. - Nino Marakot (Happy new year!) 13:38, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

Oh sorry, i mean low-quality VIIRS images. I just have a look on your uploads and it's the VIIRS image. Nino Marakot (Happy new year!) 13:41, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Haha bruhh funny lol. Images still fine, thanks. If there is no imagery in the gallery, I just go to the worldview, as usual for three years now. :) -- Typhoon2013  22:08, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

2020 season
Hi Typhoon, I would be creating the 2020 typhoon season when the international Names are announced I will definitely put it on there. TheBusBoy984 (talk) 13:44, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Explain why you are going to create the 2020 season in 2018. We don't create it at least until Dec 2019. -- Typhoon2013  22:07, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
 * When you gonna create the 2020 season then?
 * I already said in my previous statement. December 2019. -- Typhoon2013  08:56, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

Broken sources
I think I've fixed all the broken ones. Let me know if any of them still give problems.--Keith Edkins ( Talk ) 13:20, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the late reply, but thanks so much, Keith. :) -- Typhoon2013  04:09, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I think Marcus is OK now.--Keith Edkins ( Talk ) 11:37, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

1997 Pacific typhoon season
Hi,

I was wondering where you got your sources for the various tropical depressions (and Hannah) for the 1997 Pacific typhoon season's Season Effects table. These tropical depressions are not found in the JMA best track (as expected, since the JMA doesn't record tropical depressions in the best track), but are also missing from IBTrACS — I was wondering where you had gotten the data for the tropical depressions as a result. I have been working on a season timeline for the season, and it would be great if I could incorporate this data into the timeline too. :) &mdash;  Iune talk  03:59, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi Iune. I have used the source of Digital Typhoon and manually did it from Jan 1 through to Dec 31. --  Typhoon2013  06:00, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I had noticed that the JMA weather maps had been archived, but I was wondering if you had used another source. :) &mdash;  Iune talk  10:12, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * No worries. I even did the other season as well. I could do the 1970s seasons but the weather maps are way harder to see. -- Typhoon2013  20:28, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

ACE of the 2018 pacific typhoon seasom
Hi typhoon2013, since 2018 season has produced 2 TS according to the JTWC, should we create the ACE calculation page? Typhoon2017 (talk) 15:15, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I am sorry for the late reply as I didn't see the notification. We have agreed now along with to stop doing ACEs. --  Typhoon2013  07:28, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

Why did we stop doing ACEs? It is an important standard for a season. Typhoon2017 (talk) 07:32, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Yeah it’s such an important statistic for the season that the RSMc doesn’t use or define it. As a result there are concerns over WP:Verification,WP:Original Research and there’s also a view that it’s useless for 10 and 3 minute winds. As a result it was removed.Jason Rees (talk) 11:31, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

Tropical Cyclone Gita
Hello Typhoon2013! Long time no see! Well, long time no talk, really, but you know what I mean. How have you been doing over the past few months since I stopped editing Wikipedia regularly? Have you been enjoying the big cyclones? Now, being a New Zealander, you'll be in the direct line of fire of Ex-Tropical Cyclone Gita, won't you? Do you live near the northern South Island or southern North Island (around Wellington)? As I'm sure you know, that's where the ex-tropical cyclone is meant to make landfall. It should still have winds of around 40-50 knots (1-minute sustained) in that geographical region, so make sure you stay away from trees and loose objects! You should take some photos and videos and upload them to Wikipedia.

Stay safe... and enjoy the remnants of an extremely powerful South Pacific tropical cyclone! ChocolateTrain (talk) 21:07, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Don't worry I'm fine and I have school right now lol. I've experienced cyclones here before and they are not that bad. No wind no damages but just light rainfall. Lmao -- Typhoon2013  22:39, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

Retired names
Oy the Typhoon Committee hasn’t met yet and as a result it is only proposed to retire those names at the moment. Yes they will most probably go but until they do we can’t say that they have gone.Jason Rees (talk) 01:32, 24 February 2018 (UTC) Jason Rees (talk) 01:32, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

WikiCup 2018 March newsletter
And so ends the first round of the competition, with 4 points required to qualify for round 2. With 53 contestants qualifying, the groups for round 2 are slightly smaller than usual, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining users.

Our top scorers in round 1 were:


 * 🇺🇸 Aoba47 led the field with a featured article, 8 good articles and 42 GARs, giving a total of 666 points.
 * 🇩🇪 FrB.TG, a WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points, gained from a featured article and masses of bonus points.
 * 🇮🇳 Ssven2, another WikiCup newcomer, was in third place with 403 points, garnered from a featured article, a featured list, a good article and twelve GARs.
 * 🇺🇸 Ceranthor, 🇮🇳 Numerounovedant, Carbrera, 🇳🇱 Farang Rak Tham and 🇷🇴 Cartoon network freak all had over 200 points, but like all the other contestants, now have to start again from scratch. A good achievement was the 193 GARs performed by WikiCup contestants, comparing very favourably with the 54 GAs they achieved.

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. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere 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! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Categories
Please do more careful when copy-pasting categories. You left some categories from Maureen Pugh on Nicola Willis' page that were not correct.--Pokelova (talk) 01:42, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Sorry. I just copied the categories placed in the Maureen Pugh page and pasted it there to Nicola Willis' page. But thanks for letting me know. :) -- Typhoon2013  01:49, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

Linda
Please note that 10F (Linda) was recorded on 160E during the 13th by the JTWC, as Linda straddled the border between the two areas. As a result, I have put Linda in as a tropical depression and being active in SPAC on the 13th.Jason Rees (talk) 12:17, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
 * After I left this message, I noticed that Linda was called 10F on exactly 160E, which means it was in both basins at the same time. As a result, I have adjusted Linda's dates in Aus to beginning on the 11th and do not see the need to include (Entered basin) in the infobox. I am also thinking about dropping 10F to OS in the SPAC. If you have any thoughts or comments on this then you know where i am :) Jason Rees (talk) 19:10, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
 * No problem for Linda. I guess it should be time to find the information and sources for the other systems in the SPac and to be added in an OS section, especially before the season ending in a few months. -- Typhoon2013  09:53, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

Sources for 22U and 23U
I've added the last 3 Brisbane TWOs, although it's not clear whether the depression on 19th March is regarded as the same system as on 17th.--Keith Edkins ( Talk ) 17:08, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

Crystal Ball
Do you have a crystal ball or something? How do you know that 22U will be named Nora. Especially since it is above 10S at the moment and possibly in Jakarta’s air.Jason Rees (talk) 11:12, 22 March 2018 (UTC) Jason Rees (talk) 11:12, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

ESEAP Conference 2018
Hello Typhoon2013,

I’m Irvin from PhilWiki Community, a member of the Communication Committee of the ESEAP Conference. ESEAP Conference 2018 is a regional conference for Wikimedia communities throughout the ESEAP region: ESEAP stands for East, Southeast Asia, and Pacific. Taking place in Bali, Indonesia on 5–6 May 2018, this is the first regional conference for these Wikimedia communities.

East and Southeast Asia and the Pacific are the most under-represented regions within the Wikimedia community. There is a significant number of Wikimedia contributors in our regions, yet we continue to struggle in establishing a well-managed community. This conference will bring participants from various ESEAP communities together in order to better understand the issues and to look for solutions. It also aims to connect people of the Wikimedia movement within ESEAP regions, to share ideas, and to build regional collaborations that are impossible to achieve through online communication.

We’ve got a lot of participation from several countries, but we’re lacking from your country. As we need more participants from your country, we believe that your contribution and participation would be a valuable asset to the success of this event. If you would like to participate in the conference, please do fill the form as soon as possible (by April 5, 2018) and we’ll inform you if you get selected for the conference.

Thank you and we hope to see you soon. --Filipinayzd 01:54, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

WikiCup 2018 May newsletter
The second round of the 2018 WikiCup has now finished. Most contestants who advanced to the next round scored upwards of 100 points, but two with just 10 points managed to scrape through into round 3. Our top scorers in the last round were:


 * 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Cas Liber, our winner in 2016, with three featured articles
 * Iazyges, with nine good articles and lots of bonus points
 * 🇮🇳 Yashthepunisher, a first time contestant, with two featured lists
 * SounderBruce, a finalist last year, with seventeen good topic articles
 * 🇺🇸 Usernameunique, a first time contestant, with fourteen DYKs
 * Muboshgu, a seasoned competitor, with three ITNs and
 * Courcelles, another first time contestant, with twenty-seven GARs

So far contestants have achieved twelve featured articles between them and a splendid 124 good articles. Commendably, 326 GARs have been completed during the course of the 2018 WikiCup, so the backlog of articles awaiting GA review has been reduced as a result of contestants' activities. As we enter 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 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met; most of the GARs are fine, but a few have been a bit skimpy.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

WikiCup 2018 July newsletter
The third round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it to the fourth round had at least 227 points. Our top scorers in round 3 were:


 * Courcelles, a first time contestant, with 1756 points, a tally built largely on 27 GAs related to the Olympics
 * 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Cas Liber, our winner in 2016, with two featured articles and three GAs on natural history and astronomy topics
 * SounderBruce, a finalist last year, with a variety of submissions related to transport in the state of Washington

Contestants managed 7 featured articles, 4 featured lists, 120 good articles, 1 good topic, 124 DYK entries, 15 ITN entries, and 132 good article reviews. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 458 GA reviews, in comparison to 244 good articles submitted for review and promoted. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process; several submissions, particularly in abstruse or technical areas, have needed additional work to make them completely verifiable.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required).

Be careful about information you provided
JMA did not analyse Prapiroon 960 hPa until 1800Z on July 2. Thus, your point about 0450Z is much closer to 1800Z than 0000Z is not really valid. 🐱💬 13:10, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't see the point that my point closer to 18Z is "not valid". Everyone agrees to use a TC image at/closer to peak. This, my point should be valid? And I do know that everyone had contributed to a discussion for a "TC image policy" few weeks back and you opposed it so i don't know here. Typhoon2013  (talk) 19:20, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
 * The question more is what constitutes peak intensity? Lowest Winds and Lowest Pressure or just lowest winds.Jason Rees (talk) 22:38, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
 * JMA maintained the same intensity of 0000Z (965 hPa; 65 knots) at 0600Z. Could you say that Prapiroon was stronger at 0450Z because JMA estimated a slightly lower pressure (960 hPa; still at 65 knots) at 1800Z and 0450Z is closer to 1800Z? That is just a logical problem. Being closer to the peak intensity does not equal to being stronger... 🐱💬 02:20, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't particularly care which image is used but had thought that Typhoon2013's image was 24 hours later than yours for some reason .Jason Rees (talk) 12:50, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Just 4 hours and 50 minutes later... 🐱💬 13:48, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Typhoon Son-Tinh
Hello Typhoon2013,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Typhoon Son-Tinh for deletion in response to your request.

If you didn't intend to make such a request and don't want the article to be deleted, you can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit edit the page] and remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

—  python coder    (talk &#124; contribs) 01:41, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Son-Tinh
You made the same mistake that I warned you about last year with Son-Tinh. Right now, there is only one "Typhoon Son-Tinh" so there's no need to add the year for the 2012 one. The current Son-Tinh is not a typhoon yet :P YE Pacific Hurricane  03:13, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Next time do not do a cut and paste move in order to preserve page history. Instead, please show some patience and ask an administrator to do it. pinging WPTC admins to basically move Typhoon Son-Tinh (2018) to Typhoon Son-Tinh (and to 2012 once Son-Tinh 18 becomes a typhoon). YE Pacific  Hurricane  04:31, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Re: WPAC tables
Fair enough, thanks for fixing it. YE Pacific Hurricane  02:36, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

Please wait for the RSMC advisory
You really should know better than this, which is hardly the first time I've reverted you for this reason: in the case of the NHC or CPHC, please wait for their advisory to come out before you update it, even if it's only an hour or two before, per WP:CRYSTAL. There's no hurry. I expect you to acknowledge this message instead of merely ignoring it because quite frankly, this is getting annoying as you have been asked about this in the past.--Jasper Deng (talk) 08:15, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I do not like your WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT attitude towards others' talk page messages. There is no way you will ever become an administrator unless you change that.--Jasper Deng (talk) 07:22, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

Hector
Im pretty sure its extratropical given the 1012 mbar pressure and no future forecasts, but if we have to wait for the official word, so be it. Figfires Send me a message! 02:06, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Just to note, just because its pressure is 1012 hPa doesn't mean it's extratropical. Moreover, we wait until the RSMC (in this case the JMA) says that it fully dissipated. -- Typhoon2013  07:22, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
 * And thats not happened yet since the JMA's WWJP25 still clasifies it as a tropical depression.Jason Rees (talk) 13:55, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

WikiCup 2018 September newsletter
The fourth round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The eight users who made it to the final round had to score a minimum of 422 points to qualify, with the top score in the round being 4869 points. The leaders in round 4 were:


 * Courcelles scored a magnificent 4869 points, with 92 good articles on Olympics-related themes. Courcelles' bonus points alone exceeded the total score of any of the other contestants!
 * Kees08 was second with 1155 points, including a high-scoring featured article for Neil Armstrong, two good topics and some Olympics-related good articles.
 * 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Cas Liber, with 1066 points, was in third place this round, with two featured articles and a good article, all on natural history topics.
 * Other contestants who qualified for the final round were 🇲🇭 Nova Crystallis, Iazyges,  SounderBruce,  🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Kosack and 🇺🇸 Ceranthor.

During round four, 6 featured articles and 164 good articles were promoted by WikiCup contestants, 13 articles were included in good topics and 143 good article reviews were performed. There were also 10 "in the news" contributions on the main page and 53 "did you knows". Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.

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. 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! 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 editor win!

You still do not respect RSMC Tokyo
You have declared dissipations many times when RSMC Tokyo still indicates active tropical depressions, for many years.-- 🐱💬 02:28, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

01F
FYI Nadi is now on full advisories on Tropical Depression 01F, that has developed on the border from the Australian region.Jason Rees (talk) 12:03, 26 September 2018 (UTC)

01U Liua
Can you tell me what document actually says that 01U is Liua, or the remnants thereof? It's not mentioned in IDQ10810 - Tropical Cyclone Outlook for Coral Sea so is there something I'm missing?--Keith Edkins ( Talk ) 20:58, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I was about to talk about this, but I will ping for this as he found a document stating that it is 01U. --  Typhoon2013  21:01, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I haven't found a document but was in touch with the BoM, who confirmed that Liua was 01U a few days ago while it was still developing. Either way it was considered to be a tropical low while in Aus and Nadi initiated advisories at 160E so it has to be covered in Aus. To be frank with you both I'm not sure we shouldn't just label Liua as a Cat 1 TC in Aus since Nadi considered it to be one at 160.2E within their marine bulletins.Jason Rees (talk) 05:23, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
