Current infobox template and welcome![edit]

Hello, there Damien, I see that you are new here so welcome! Somehow you reverted my edits from Phanfone. One of the rules is that if a storm is becoming extratropical, you remove the template but it still says Currently active. Do you get what I am saying? Good thing you joined the Tropical Cyclone Wikiproject (if you did). Also I see that you are 13yrs old, I am 12 and I joined Wikipedia last year so I might help you. Have a great day. Typhoon2013 (talk) 02:00, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Do you want me to help you or something like more tips you want to know so you won't get blocked in the future? It looks like you are doing a great job for your first weeks in Wikipedia. You're alright now so enjoy editing storms. By the way, for storms, what basin do you edit the most? (example: Pacific typhoon, Atlantic hurricane etc...) Typhoon2013 (talk) 05:16, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I am currently looking at user page. If you want some templates that I can share with you like how many edits you have or what age you are or where do you live etc. If you want some more information and templates, look at my user page, you are free to look at it. and I don't mind clicking the buttons in my templates. Typhoon2013 (talk) 05:22, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, sure. For, storms, usually I edit the northwest Pacific storms most, because that is the most active basin. However, I check all basins for active storms and edit them if their current storm status becomes outdated due to new advisories being issued. I usually check Cyclocane because that is the most effective way.Damien4794 (talk) 05:29, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I look at Cyclocane as well, although it is not that accurate. Do you look at agencies such as the JMA, JTWC and PAGASA as well? and for the templates you want, you can copy it from my user page if you want to and I don't mind.Typhoon2013 (talk) 23:12, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I do check JMA and JTWC as well as NHC, but not PAGASA as the first three are usually the ones who provide the most storm information. That was how I got those newer advisories up on Commons and Wikipedia. I delete them on my computer after uploading them though; I do not want my file space to be clogged up with advisories.Damien4794 (talk) 03:16, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Great, but every user who joins the Wikiproject also checks the PAGASA. Also NHC doesn't really report anything in the Western Pacific so there's no need to do NHC. JMA, JTWC and PAGASA are the top 3 agencies in the Western pacific basin. Especially today and tomorrow since Vongfong will be named Ompong by PAGASA. Also I've noticed that you are still not part of the WikiProject. I'll add your name if you like to. Typhoon2013 (talk) 04:20, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Possible vandalism on Vongfong[edit]

Hey, Damien. I have reverted your edits in typhoon Vongfong since it is not correct. These kind of edits are the same as a vandalism. We put in there the knots, not the kph. Typhoon2013 (talk) 04:17, 7 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your user templates and the Wikiproject[edit]

Hello, again. I was wondering that if I could help you anything about these templates. This template:

40+This user has made over 40 contributions to Wikipedia

, you can click on it to see how many edits have you really done, average edit etc. If you have any more questions or want some more templates, tell me.


Also I wanted to talk to you about the WikiProject. I can still see that you are not yet part of a WikiProject, so what I did is that I added your name in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical cyclones. If you want to accept, please add the template:

This user participates in
WikiProject Tropical cyclones.

.

Typhoon2013 (talk) 19:05, 8 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I already added my name to the list, as well as the template. My user page is going well; I have already added new sections to it. By the way, how do I arrange the userboxes in two neat rows rather than a single long row? Perhaps you could help me with that. Damien4794 (talk) 03:59, 9 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Cyclone Hudhud[edit]

I see you replied to my talk page about Hudhud. Actually, that is the question. I started editing in Wikipedia in September 2013 and I've seen that there is no "current infobox" template if it is active. It's weird! Although, since there are a lot of changes in the WikiPorject this year, maybe you an leave a message about this in the Talk:North Indian Ocean tropical cyclone season. Typhoon2013 (talk) 00:35, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A brief message[edit]

Hi, Damien4794, you'll likely not be pleased about this but I have suppressed a number of edits to your userspace which reveal too much personally identifiable information about yourself. I've done this per policy and for your own protection and safety on-line as you are a self-declared minor. I'm really sorry about that and I know it's annoying, but it's for the best. Please don't re-add it. For some useful information on privacy and safety, take a look at Wikipedia:Guidance for younger editors. Thanks, and sorry for messing about with your pages. -- Risker (talk) 04:01, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

2014 04F Image[edit]

Hello again. Just saying please stop putting the image of 04F like this image: Tropical Depression 04F 2014-12-23 2235Z.jpg . It's because that image is not 04F, it was 03F. That's why I cannot find an image of 04F. I may, if I find a more closer look of its circulation. Typhoon2013 (talk) 19:51, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I managed to find a circulation from the track image and found just one image showing the circulation south-east of 03F, at around 18.9 S 150.3 W, near French Polynesia. The image can be found at [[1]]. Please reply if you have any objections about this image.Damien4794 (talk) 13:33, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, good. But I'll fix the image because there is a black line at the top-left of the image. If I can upload another version of it without the black line, then it would be put up in the article. Although if is without the black line and the image of 04F can't fit in the perfect size, then we should just leave it alone. But good spotting though! :) Typhoon2013 (talk) 08:27, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Goni death toll?[edit]

Hello again and it's been a while. But do you have a source of the total of Typhoon Goni's fatalities? Typhoon2013 (talk) 08:03, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I got the figure of 67 from the two sources cited previously. NDRRMC stated that the death toll is 27 in the Philippines. Kim Jong-un said there were 40 "casualties" in North Korea from the storm and according to the source and many other news articles online, the figure is believed to be the number of dead. Adding these up, the figure is 67.Damien4794 (talk) 11:17, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Winston[edit]

As things stand Winston is officially an extratropical cyclone per MetService (TCWC Wellington's) Tropical Cyclone Activity bulletin which states that "Ex TC Winston remains a deep extra-tropical low moving slowly northwestwards into the Coral Sea. The chance of it re-developing into a tropical cyclone during Saturday is low."Jason Rees (talk) 23:00, 26 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tropical low[edit]

I have reverted your edit in the 2015-16 AusR cyclone season article for that TL because I don't think there are any TLs in satellite animations, even with BoM. Are you sure about this? If so, can I please see a source? I highly doubt it's BoM because they aren't tracking anything. Typhoon2013 (talk) 09:48, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

While TCWC Perth are tracking something - it isnt being called a tropical low within the outlooks which is the rule for adding it in.Jason Rees (talk) 14:40, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

29W[edit]

Glad your back. Buy just to note, there is only 1 unofficial systems so far, not two. The JMA tracked 29W a few days ago so the system is already official. Typhoon2013 (talk) 09:30, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

My bad. Thanks for correcting.Damien4794 (talk) 10:57, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Also to add (I don't want to create a separate thread cuz why not), with this edit, which I thank you for that, you used "Currently active". I don't know how long you've been away for but if you don't know yet, we've switched from CA to "Present". Thanks. Typhoon2013 (talk) 11:01, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

New TL[edit]

Hi I just want to see what source you used regarding the new TL you added in, as none of the TCWCs mention any TL. Thanks. Typhoon2013 (talk) 11:04, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please disregard this message. Someone here cannot read sources :P. Typhoon2013 (talk) 11:38, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your rude reverting on 2017–18 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season[edit]

You ignore the fact that Meteo France has claimed a post-tropical depression to Ava and just reverted everything I have done. That is very rude and unacceptable. 🐱💬 08:46, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that. I was trying to do a partial revert since you removed Irving's current infobox together with Ava's. I thought it would be more convenient to do a full revert and then manually remove Ava's infobox. However, I forgot to change the dates for Ava, and remove the CSI section, and I apologise for that. Thanks for your understanding. Damien4794 (talk) 09:07, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

19U[edit]

BOM actually forecasted that 19U will form near Western Australia. It is not the system over Papua New Guinea at all so please be careful about what you have seen on the outlook. 🐱💬 18:42, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Meow: I wasn't the one who said that, it was AAnnoonnyymous (permalink to his edit). The edit that got reverted was the one where I said the precursor to Oma was the TL that brought the Townsville floods. I am 100% sure it is the same TL (96P) but I cannot prove it since the invest data has been deleted. Damien4794 (talk) 03:01, 17 March 2019 (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!

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:

New GA's 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.
