Wikipedia:Featured topics/Retired Pacific hurricanes

edit
Latest comment: 10 years ago3 comments1 person in discussion

Maybe it's from me looking through the topics in the middle of the night, but I'm not entirely sure about this one. I checked the list that is the main article for the topic and it shows that there are more than nine hurricanes that were retired besides the one given. This includes Hurricane Manuel, which occurred on September of 2013. The reason I'm bringing this to you is that since I'm not a hurricane expert like you, I'm not entirely sure if the topic is fully complete or not. Stuff like the template for the whole thing says it is but I don't know if it's reliable on the situation. So hopefully there's an answer to all this. GamerPro64 05:07, 1 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 1990–91 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Beira (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Latest comment: 10 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hello. I know that you have removed my edits and I learnt that. But there was one edit that has a mistake of yours, it says that Typhoon Rammasun was upgraded by a tropical depression on June 28, not 26. Also it didn't say anything during the 26th about Rammasun. So Rammasun formed on June 28. If you have any comments, questions or replies, please do in my talk page. Typhoon2013 (talk) 07:31, 15 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

FA congratulations

Latest comment: 10 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Just a quick note to congratulate you on the promotion of Hurricane Kate (1985) to FA status recently. If you would like to see this (or any other FA) appear as "Today's featured article" soon (either on a particular date or on any available date), please nominate it at the requests page. If you'd like to see an FA appear on a particular date in the next year or so, please add it to the "pending" list. In the absence of a request, the article may end up being picked at any time (although with about 1,305 articles waiting their turn at present, there's no telling how long – or short! – the wait might be). If you'd got any TFA-related questions or problems, please let me know. BencherliteTalk 23:38, 16 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

WikiCup 2014 June newsletter

edit
Latest comment: 10 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

After an extremely close race, Round 3 is over. 244 points secured a place in Round 4, which is comparable to previous years- 321 was required in 2013, while 243 points were needed in 2012. Pool C's   Godot13 (submissions) was the round's highest scorer, mostly due to a 32 featured pictures, including both scans and photographs. Also from Pool C,   Casliber (submissions) finished second overall, claiming three featured articles, including the high-importance Grus (constellation). Third place was Pool B's , whose contributions included featured articles Russian battleship Poltava (1894) and Russian battleship Peresvet. Pool C saw the highest number of participants advance, with six out of eight making it to the next round.

The round saw this year's first featured portal, with   Sven Manguard (submissions) taking Portal:Literature to featured status. The round also saw the first good topic points, thanks to   12george1 (submissions) and the 2013 Atlantic hurricane season. This means that all content types have been claimed this year. Other contributions of note this round include a featured topic on Maya Angelou's autobiographies from   Figureskatingfan (submissions), a good article on the noted Czech footballer Tomáš Rosický from   Cloudz679 (submissions) and a now-featured video game screenshot, freely released due to the efforts of   Sven Manguard (submissions).

The judges would like to remind participants to update submission pages promptly. This means that content can be checked, and allows those following the competition (including those participating) to keep track of scores effectively. This round has seen discussion about various aspects of the WikiCup's rules and procedures. Those interested in the competition can be assured that formal discussions about how next year's competition will work will be opened shortly, and all are welcome to voice their views then. 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 Wikipedia: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!

Tropical Storm 60W to be merge in the 2006 season?

edit
Latest comment: 10 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

Hi, Hurricanehink. I know that I didn't created the article: Tropical Storm 60W, but I think we should merge it to the 2006 Pacific typhoon season, even though the article is deleted. Because I have discovered that the Image: 2006 Pacific typhoon season summary map.png, has 60W's track. What do you think? Typhoon2013 (talk) 22:37, 30 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Ok, sure. I probably might add some depressions in the 'Other storms' sections, such as the CMA tropical depression and the Non-NHMS tropical depression. Thanks, anyway :). Typhoon2013 (talk) 22:49, 30 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

I saw that Hurricane Manuel is now a Good Article. Since it is now at that status, it can be part of Wikipedia:Featured topics/Retired Pacific hurricanes with time left before its grace period ends. Probably also mention Yellow Evan promoting the article in the supp nom too. GamerPro64 21:35, 2 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hopefully no one minds, but Tropical Storm Hazel (1965), Hurricane Fico, Hurricane Fefa (1991), and Hurricane Adolph (2001), since we agreed evidence was sufficient enough to support inclusion on the retired page. Also, since there are only 6 FA's and 14 articles overall, this will be downgraded from FT to GT. YE Pacific Hurricane 21:54, 2 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
Ah yes that's right. That's going to be an important thing to mention for the supp nom. GamerPro64 22:07, 2 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
So I see the supp nom is up. Which is good since it'll bring the topic up to date. If you can though, would you mind reviewing some of the older nominations? Especially since the oldest one has been up for almost two months with barely any conversation. GamerPro64 17:57, 7 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Missing PAGASA depressions as of the 1993 season

edit
Latest comment: 10 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hello again, Hurricanehink. I know, I have a lot of questions and stuff to you but I have been sorting out by my self the missing depressions in the 1993 season since last year. I did not have any idea so I looked in the 1993 typhoon season animation (I'll put the link down below this section). Today, I have added Tropical Depression Daling in the season because I have seen only 1 circulation during the dates, southeast of the Philippines. So, there is only 1 more left missing: Tropical Depression Gundang. Can you find any sources and sites about this storm of when did this formed? If not, check out the video between these dates: October 13 - 26. Thanks. Typhoon2013 (talk) 07:48, 7 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Rounding Tropical cyclone damages and a happy birthday

edit
Latest comment: 10 years ago4 comments4 people in discussion

Hello, again. Just a question, do we really need to round total damages of storms? For example: Tropical Storm Lingling's damage is $12.9 million but in the 2014 pacific typhoon season article says it is $13 million. Do we really need to? Because the damage of 2013, 2012... is not rounded up but the 2014 is rounded up by some anonymous users. What do think? Also, its late but happy birthday! :)Typhoon2013 (talk) 20:42, 14 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

I am a talk page stalker (as this is on my Watchlist for some reason), so I thought I would offer my thoughts: No. I myself do not think this should be rounded, nor do I see a reason for it to be rounded. Almost like giving false information. United States Man (talk) 20:46, 14 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
Well, we've never really established it, but generally we go to one significant digit after the million or billion. There are some exceptions, but that's at least what I usually do. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:49, 15 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
Also a (talk page stalker) - Generally speaking if its rounded in the PTS its because of the way the template {{NTSP}} operates or someone has just typed in 13,000,000 rather than 12,900,000.Jason Rees (talk) 14:54, 15 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

No. And I still stand by what I said.

There is also something called WP:BRD whereas after I reverted your cutting down, we should have followed by having what should have been a brief, civil discussion.

(edit conflict) Look, I don't think Hink, an uninvolved sysop, should be concerned about this; I did not break any Wikipedia policies, and I did not keep Meow from making additions to the article, but followed WP:BRD and reverted her removal of about 40% of the article's content. After only a handful of comments on that talk page, she brought the issue here, and she keeps on acting like if she adds anything to the article, I will revert it for no reason. The main discussion is at Talk:Hurricane Genevieve (2014)#Look..., and that is where future discussion ought to be carried out. If Hink wants to carry out some admin action against me for any reason, then fine, he will make the right decision. Regardless, I don't think this discussion should be continued here. Dustin (talk) 16:14, 14 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

@Jason Rees: You are a mostly uninvolved editor with this particular article, and I would not hate your idea (it makes sense), but it will not do any good if Meow does not agree to it. Thank you for making an attempt to resolve this dispute, though. Dustin (talk) 16:14, 14 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

  1.   Godot13 (submissions), a WikiCup newcomer, finished top of Pool A and was the round's highest scorer. Godot is a featured picture specialist, claiming large numbers of points due to high-quality scans of historical documents, especially banknotes.
  2.   Casliber (submissions) is a WikiCup veteran, having been a finalist every year since 2010. In the semi-final, he was Pool B's highest scorer. Cas's points primarily come from articles on the natural sciences.
  3.   Czar (submissions) was Pool A's runner-up. Czar's points come mostly from content related to independent video games, including both articles and topics.
  4.   Adam Cuerden (submissions) was Pool B's runner-up. Another featured picture specialist, many of Adam's points come from the restoration of historical media. He has been a WikiCup finalist twice before.
  5.   Cwmhiraeth (submissions) won the WikiCup in 2012 and 2013, and enters this final as the first wildcard. She focuses on biology-related articles, and has worked on several high-importance articles.
  6.   12george1 (submissions) is the second wildcard. George's points come primarily from meteorology-related articles. This year and last year, George was the first person in the competition to score.
  7.   Sturmvogel 66 (submissions), the third wildcard, was the 2010 champion and a finalist last year. His writes mostly on military history, especially naval history.
  8.   Bloom6132 (submissions), the fourth and final wildcard, has participated in previous WikiCups, but not reached any finals. Bloom's points are mostly thanks to did you knows, featured lists and good articles related to sport and national symbols.

We say goodbye to this year's semi-finalists.   Matty.007 (submissions),   ThaddeusB (submissions),   WikiRedactor (submissions),   Figureskatingfan (submissions),   Yellow Evan (submissions),   Prism (submissions) and   Cloudz679 (submissions) have all performed well to reach this stage of the competition, and we hope they will all be joining us again next year.

There are two upcoming competitions unrelated to the WikiCup which may be of interest to those who receive this newsletter. The Stub Contest will run through September, and revolves around expanding stub articles, especially high-importance or old stubs. In addition, a proposal has been made for a new competition, the GA Cup, which the organisers plan to run next year. This competition is based on the WikiCup and aims to reduce the good article review backlog.

There is now a thread for brainstorming on how next year's WikiCup competition should work. Please come along and share your thoughts- What works? What doesn't work? What needs changing? Signups for next year's competition will be open soon; we will be in touch. If, at this stage of the competition, you are keen to help the with the WikiCup, please do what you can to participate in review processes. Our finalists will find things much easier if the backlogs at good article candidates, featured article candidates, featured picture candidates and the rest are kept at a minimum. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Your rational in regard to the text squashing on the Marie page, is silly. While I have only just started uploading video to commons, the use of a photo as well as the video is far better should a user decide to print the story out, the photo provides a far better illustration of the force of the Waves, as the video would not play well, printed on a piece of paper. talk→ WPPilot  15:00, 2 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Hurricane Norbert (2014), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chihuahua. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Latest comment: 10 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

Hello, Hink. I chose you to talk about this. I am having my 1-year anniversary on Wikipedia and I was wondering that if I could do some changes in me since I haven't really done anything instead of editing. First, how could I become an admin? So I could block some anonymous users because they are frustrating me and not really following the rules in our WikiProject (TC). Another thing is that why isn't anyone really editing the 2014 Pacific typhoon season article? It is just me and some good and bad anonymous users. The other thing is that how many storms do we put in a line in the Template:2014 Pacific typhoon season buttons? I know I am kind of wasting your time in Wikipedia for this, but sorry if I am really taking your time. Typhoon2013 (talk) 09:27, 16 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hello, thanks for the information. I put my reply on my talk page just in case. Mr. Hink, is it OK if I can create the article of Fung-wong? I asked you this since there are lots of storm articles in the season. Thanks, have a great day.Typhoon2013 (talk) 06:08, 19 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Indents

edit
Latest comment: 10 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hi -- I'm fixing a couple of indents on the current FAC, and thought you might like the same info I got from GeometryGuy years ago, explaining how the indents work. Copy the previous line and add a star or colon to the end of the line, not the beginning. So if the indent is currently ":::*:", and you want a bullet, your indent should be ":::*:*". I never understood this till GGuy left me that note. If you put an extra colon or star at the start of the line instead, you can get weird effects, such as bullets not next to the text.

PHL death toll from Kalmaegi (Luis)

edit
Latest comment: 10 years ago3 comments1 person in discussion

Hello. I was just wondering that do we add the total of death toll from the typhoon to 12? Because it says that only 4 had been killed by the storm and 8 were killed from a boat. In my opinion we should put it as 12 since the boat sink due to the storm. What do you think?Typhoon2013 (talk) 04:36, 22 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Actually, I've seen some Filipino news and/or videos about weather and saying about the boat sinking due to the storm. A site I just looked at a few minutes ago, it says that the driver in the boat was having trouble to steer the wheel and the date was on September 13. I remembered that the day when it sink, the outflow of Kalmaegi combined with the southwest monsoon was in the area. Or Kalmaegi's southern outflow reached to southern Visayas since the boat sink there. Typhoon2013 (talk) 05:02, 22 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
Oh, wait! I found many sites. It says the same thing and says that the boat sink due to rogue waves from the typhoon. Does this makes it count from the death toll now? Typhoon2013 (talk) 05:05, 22 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

I see that you reverted my edits, due to this. I know that this is weird that PAGASA starts issuing it first too.

WikiCup 2015 is just around the corner...

edit
Latest comment: 9 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hello everyone, and may we wish you all a happy holiday season. As you will probably already know, the 2015 WikiCup begins in the new year; there is still time to sign up. We have a few important announcements concerning the future of the WikiCup.

  • We would like to announce that Josh (J Milburn) and Ed (The ed17), who have been WikiCup judges since 2009 and 2010 respectively, are stepping down. This decision has been made for a number of reasons, but the main one is time. Both Josh and Ed have found that, over the previous year, they have been unable to devote the time necessary to the WikiCup, and it is not likely that they will be able to do this in the near future. Furthermore, new people at the helm can only help to invigorate the WikiCup and keep it dynamic. Josh and Ed will still be around, and will likely be participating in the Cup this following year as competitors, which is where both started out.
  • In a similar vein, we hope you will all join us in welcoming Jason (Sturmvogel 66) and Christine (Figureskatingfan), who are joining Brian (Miyagawa) to form the 2015 WikiCup judging team. Jason is a WikiCup veteran, having won in 2010 and finishing in fifth this year. Christine has participated in two WikiCups, reaching the semi-finals in both, and is responsible for the GA Cup, which she now co-runs.
  • The discussions/polls concerning the next competition's rules will be closed soon, and rules changes will be made clear on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring and talk pages. While it may be impossible to please everyone, the judges will make every effort to ensure that the new rules are both fair and in the best interests of the competition, which is, first and foremost, about improving Wikipedia.

If you have any questions or concerns, the judges can be reached on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, on their talk pages, or by email. We hope you will all join us in trying to make the 2015 WikiCup the most productive and enjoyable yet. You are receiving this message because you are listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Round one of the 2015 WikiCup has begun! So far we've had around 80 signups, which close on February 5. If you have not already signed up and want to do so, then you can add your name here. There have been changes to to several of the points scores for various categories, and the addition of Peer Reviews for the first time. These will work in the same manner as Good Article Reviews, and all of the changes are summarised here.

Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round, and one of the new changes this year is that all scores must be claimed within two weeks of an article's promotion or appearance, so don't forget to add them to your submissions pages! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

Meteorological history of Cyclone Leon–Eline

Latest comment: 9 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I recently reviewed 1989–90 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season and was going to take a crack at the nomination for Meteorological history of Cyclone Leon–Eline. However, I'm not sure if the meteorological history of Leon–Eline warrants its own article. I wan to review it since it has potential but I also want to nominate it for deletion since the primary article might be sufficient. Is there precedent I'm not aware of? Will the reader actually go to this subarticle? Let me know. I would be hap to review the article but I hope you will consider deletion if appropriate.Cptnono (talk) 04:56, 9 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

(Another user odv) In direct answer to your question, yes. There is Meteorological history of Hurricane Katrina, Meteorological history of Hurricane Ivan, Meteorological history of Hurricane Sandy and Meteorological history of Typhoon Haiyan, and a few others. In general, hurricane/typhoon/tropical storm/cyclone articles are not deleted FTR, rather they are merged. YE Pacific Hurricane 13:49, 9 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

They say Hurricane Ike was the strongest hurricane for 2008. Gustav, though, had stronger winds. How can Ike be stronger than Gustav? Ike had 145 mph winds. Gustav contained 155 mile per hour winds. Angela Maureen (talk) 20:23, 24 January 2015 (UTC)Reply
