Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 1888 Louisiana hurricane, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cat Island.

User:CapeVerdeWave/Sandbox8[edit]

I just noticed how good this article was! You should publish it, it's good from what I can read :) I'm working on Sarah 59 and stumbled across your sandbox. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:34, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I totally know what you mean about being a researcher. Sometimes, that's the most fun part for me. I've always valued the work you've done for the older Atlantic hurricanes (don't think I didn't notice you updating the 1950 season!) That's crazy how big the 1926 hurricane was. I knew it was bad, as it had the highest wealth normalized damage total for any hurricane. Those huge older storms tend to overwhelm me with how much info they have, that's why I was never able to work on them. But I commend you for your work, my friend, ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:41, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

HURDAT 2[edit]

While i realise that its possible that the view on which official version of HURDAT may have changed since this letter was written, but tells me that the NHC's version of HURDAT is to be considered the official one.Jason Rees (talk) 23:51, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:41, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you![edit]

The Writer's Barnstar
I have to put it on your talk page. Great job lately on your work on Florida hurricanes, especially 1933 Florida–Mexico hurricane. You have been a great contributor over the past few years, and you definitely deserve some credit for your fine work. Keep it up! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:37, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I noticed some of your sandboxes aren't published. Would you mind if the well-done meteorological history of User:CapeVerdeWave/Sandbox11 was moved to 1949 Florida hurricane? It would certainly be an improvement! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:39, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Likewise, combine most of what you have in User:CapeVerdeWave/Sandbox8 with the section in the season article and create Typhoon Cora (1966)? That would be a C-class article and could pass GA pretty easily. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:42, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of 1933 Florida–Mexico hurricane[edit]

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article 1933 Florida–Mexico hurricane you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Hurricanehink -- Hurricanehink (talk) 18:41, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the quick fixes. There is just one last bit to add in, then I'll happily pass it. Good job again :) ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:35, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You definitely deserve the barnstar. Thanks for the kind words. I passed the article, btw. As for the damage total, I think $3 million is fine. In the future, if you want to indicate some uncertainty, you can add a new line saying |damagespre=<, which would create <$3 million. Just replace the < with something like "At least", etc. I think it's great you work on a lot of older Florida hurricanes. I never expected there to be another article for the 1933 AHS, but I'm glad you found a missing article out of that. I saw your conversation with 12george1, that's awesome you have so much access to the Palm Beach Post. Florida storms are some of the more important articles in the project, given how hurricane-prone the state is, and how damaging the storms tend to be. I added the article to become part of the 1933 Atlantic hurricane season good topic, as seen here. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:52, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
As for wind speeds, if it's rounded (such as 65 kt as listed in the best track), then we need to round mph and km/h. Likewise for positions, if a storm formed 1000 nmi from somewhere, we gotta round the miles and km (1,150 and 1,850). However, a wind gust of 65 mph doesn't need to be rounded, because it's an exact measurement. Does that make sense? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:54, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

1933 Florida–Mexico hurricane sources[edit]

Hi CapeVerdeWave. I want to thank you for creating this article. If you aren't aware, Hurricanehink has already reviewed it. Anyway, I'm not actually asking you about the article. I want to know how you have access to the Palm Beach Post. They apparently removed their collection from Google News and the Palm Beach Post website only has articles back to like 1988. I am or intend on working on projects or articles like these ones. Thanks--12george1 (talk) 21:13, 22 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Re: 1933 Florida–Mexico hurricane sources[edit]

Thank you for the explanation of how you obtained the Palm Beach Post articles. I live in Palm Springs, just outside of West Palm Beach. I took for granted that Google News had the collection all the way back to like the early parts of last century. So I have been interested in or have worked on storms that impacted the local area. But sometime perhaps within the last few months, the collection was removed from Google News, along with newspapers such as the Miami Herald. Also, I am a student at Palm Beach State College and I have free access several South Florida newspapers from about 1985 to present. I found so much info for this that I expanded it from about 14,500 bytes to nearly 79,000 bytes and it still needs more info for Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe counties. But now I'm generally more interested in historical storms--12george1 (talk) 05:08, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Sources for damage descriptions in articles are lacking[edit]

"Please help me access this information. Also, stop giving me that information!" – Juliancolton | Talk 19:31, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Juliancolton, That is not what I'm saying. I was asking how to access the information. I might've gotten a little carried away on that second part. If you want to, go ahead and block me like what CVW said on your talk page. Goodbye, :( HurricaneGonzalo (talk) 11:16, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I would hope that no-one is going to block you @HurricaneGonzalo:, as I am sure you have some skills that can be put to use. Maybe its wiser if you come and help out with some of the current tropical cyclone articles which always need willing hands. @CapeVerdeWave: We all have to start somewhere and it is always better to try and work with someone who is willing to write articles than block them.Jason Rees (talk) 17:20, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

1903 Florida hurricane[edit]

Hello CapeVerdeWave, I noticed that in the past you were a major contributor to the 1903 Florida hurricane article, but you haven't edited it in a few year. Myself and maybe Hurricanehink are wanting to work on getting the 1903 Atlantic hurricane season and its articles to at least Good Article status, thereby making the 1903 AHS a Good Topic. My question to you is, are you still intending on getting the 1903 Florida hurricane to GA or may I finish it? I will be fine with either way you decide, as I would like to finish it, but I know that you have been a major contributor to that article.--12george1 (talk) 02:17, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Article of the month, by Jason Rees

History of tropical cyclone naming - The practice of using names to identify tropical cyclones goes back several centuries, with storms named after places, saints or things they hit before the formal start of naming in each basin. The credit for the first usage of personal names for weather systems is given to the Queensland Government Meteorologist Clement Wragge, who named tropical cyclones and anticyclones between 1887 and 1907. This system of naming fell into disuse for several years after Wragge retired, until it was revived in the latter part of World War II for the Western Pacific basin. Over the following decades, various naming schemes have been introduced for the world's oceans, including for parts of the Atlantic, Pacific and the Indian Ocean. The majority of these lists are compiled by the World Meteorological Organization's tropical cyclone committee for the region and include names from different cultures as well as languages. Over the years there has been controversy over the names used at various times, with names being dropped for religious and political reasons. For example, female names were exclusively used in the basins at various times between 1945 - 2000 and were the subject of several protests. The names of significant tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean and Australian region are retired from the naming lists and replaced with another name, at meetings of the various tropical cyclone committees.

Storm of the month and other tropical activity

Cyclone Fani was an extremely severe cyclonic storm that made landfall in Odisha, India on May 3. The storm achieved peak intensity as a near Category 5-equivalent cyclone with 3-minute sustained winds of 215 km/h (130 mph), 1-minute sustained winds of 250 km/h (155 mph), and a minimum central pressure of 937 hPa (mbar). Fani caused over $1.8 billion (2019 USD) in damage in India and Bangladesh and killed at least 89 people.

Since the last newsletter, twelve systems have formed.

  • Southwest Indian Ocean
    In the Southwest Indian Ocean, Cyclone Kenneth made landfall in Mozambique approximately 1 month after Cyclone Idai, causing widespread flooding and destruction. Overall, Kenneth killed at least 52 people and caused more than $100 million in damage. Additionally, Tropical Cyclone Lorna formed over the eastern portion of the basin in late April and dissipated in early May without affecting land.
  • Australian Region
    In the Australian Region, cyclones Lili and Ann formed in early May and both affected land. No deaths were reported, although Lili caused moderate damage in the Maluku Islands and East Timor.
  • South Pacific
    In the South Pacific, a tropical depression formed in mid-may, but failed to intensify and dissipated a few days later.
  • South Atlantic
    In the South Atlantic, Subtropical Storm Jaguar formed in late May and lasted for approximately two days before becoming extratropical.
  • Western Pacific
    In the Western Pacific, three weak tropical depressions existed during the first half of May.
  • North Atlantic
    In the North Atlantic, Subtropical Storm Andrea formed on the same day as Jaguar, but failed to intensify and dissipated on the next day.




  • The Eastern Pacific hurricane season began on May 15.
  • The Atlantic hurricane season will begin at 2:00 AM EDT on June 1.
  • The Central Pacific hurricane season will begin sometime after 12:00 AM HST on June 1.

New WikiProject Members since the last newsletter in April 2019

More information can be found here. This list lists members who have joined/rejoined the WikiProject since the release of the last issue in April 2019. Sorted chronologically. Struckout users denote users who have left or have been banned.

To our new members: welcome to the project, and happy editing! Feel free to check the to-do list at the bottom right of the newsletter for things that you might want to work on. To our veteran members: thank you for your edits and your tireless contributions!

Editorial for welcoming new users, by Hurricanehink

Every year, editors new and old help maintain the new season of season articles. The older users are likely used to the standards of the project, such as how to Wikilink and reference properly. Newer users might make mistakes, and they might make them over and over again if they don't know better. If anyone (who happens to read this) comes across a new user, please don't bite, because with enough pushback, they'll decide that this group of editors is too mean, and unfun. This is all a volunteer project; no one can force anyone to do anything. We're all on here because of our love of knowledge and tropical cyclones. If you find someone new, consider using the official WPTC welcome template - Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical cyclones/Welcome.

I also encourage that if you know any tropical cyclone researchers, please speak up and try recruiting them to edit. Veteran editors can't keep editing forever. Life gets busy, and the real world beckons!

Member of the month (edition) – Yellow Evan

Yellow Evan has been involved with WPTC since 2008. Since the last newsletter, Yellow Evan has taken 5 typhoon articles to good article status as well as created 2 more. Overall, he has created and/or significantly contributed to more than 130 good articles. Your work in the Western Pacific Basin is invaluable... Thank you for your contributions!

This section lists content that have become featured, articles and lists, since the past newsletter in mid-April 2019.
From April 14–May 31, 2019, 1 featured article was promoted:

WikiProject Tropical Cyclones: News & Developments

  • An awards program for the project began on May 31. It involves 25 levels that may be gained by earning points for completing various actions such as getting good or featured articles. Additional awards will be added in the future.
  • As of this news letter, there are more articles ranked a good article or better (1317) than articles ranked B-class or worse (1272), for the first time in the project's history.
  • Every Atlantic hurricane season from 1945 to 2007 is rated at least a GA. That is an impressive feat, and an incredibly body of work among many editors.
  • Cyclone Raja became the 150th featured article in the project. Thanks to all of the editors and their tireless edits for writing 2.7% of all of Wikipedia's featured articles.
  • In the 24 hours after Hurricane Michael's TCR was released, the article on the hurricane was edited 82 times by 18 different users.
  • In March 2019, the most popular article in the project was Cyclone Idai, viewed 231,969 times during the month. The generic cyclone was 2nd most popular, with 131,080 views. In 3rd place was Hurricane Katrina with 112,283 views. Included in the top 20 were the 2018 and 19 Atlantic hurricane seasons, hurricanes Michael, Florence, Irma, Maria, and Harvey, and the 1896 Cedar Keys hurricane, which was TFA on March 20th.

New articles since the last newsletter include:

Current assessment table

Assessments valid as of this printing. Depending on when you may be viewing this newsletter, the table may be outdated. See here for the latest, most up to date statistics.
As of this issue, there are 150 featured articles and 69 featured lists. There are 142 A-class articles, but that number is subject to change, depending if we mandate that all A-class articles have an A-class review first. There are 956 good articles, meaning it is possible we get to our 1000th GA by the end of the year. There are only 61 B-class articles, perhaps because because most articles of that quality already passed a GA review. There are 350 C-class articles, 720 start-class articles, and 141 stub-class articles, with 29 lists and 8 current articles. The number of lists may decrease further as the "Tropical cyclone X" articles continue to be reclassified as set index articles. These figures mean that nearly half of the project is rated a GA or better - including the lists/current/future articles, there are 1272 articles that are below GA status, versus 1317 that are GA or better.
