== Hello! (FA Mentor) ==

...for the welcome. Special interest in hurricanes as a Florida Keys resident for 20 years. Mostly watching the Labor Day article and other references to the Keys. (Was in New Orleans last week, suffered damage in Wilma and minor effects from Katrina. Evacuated three times in 2005.) Have worked as a copy editor and technical writer, always push for clear, concise, interesting writing. I'd like to juice up the intro on the 2005 season article (see my editing take on the talk page [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:2005_Atlantic_hurricane_season#Spaghetti_intro]. [[User:DavidH|DavidH]] 18:19, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Hello there, @[[User:Hurricanehink|Hurricanehink]], I don't necessarily know if you still do FA mentoring, but I do want some guidance regarding an song article I have worked on. I listed the song "[[Wikipedia:Peer review/I Feel It Coming/archive2|I Feel It Coming]]" by the Weeknd for peer review, and I was wondering if you'd like to give some general thoughts? I totally understand if you don't want to, thank you! <span style="color:brown;">[[User:AskeeaeWiki|𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘦𝘭'𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘺,]]</span> 20:03, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

A while back you mentioned that you'd give me some ideas on storm-related articles to start and/or expand. I've been mainly focusing on expanding Wikipedia pages for footballers, but I'd like to get back into storms, so I was wondering if you had any articles I could expand or create.

==Expedition Hurricane==

Do you think that I could make an article on the '''Expedition Hurricane''' of 1861 with the info from the article? Did they have a Monthly Weather Review or something back then? Because I'm sure there must be some info there (Please respond on my talkpage). [[User:Icelandic Hurricane|Icelandic Hurricane #12]] 19:58, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

== ALarry Barnstar!to GA? ==

I had a look at [[Hurricane Larry]] today, which I substantially expanded with your help a few years ago, and thought it might be pretty close to becoming a GA. Thought you might want to take a look and give some suggestions for a few final improvements. Also, [[Tropical cyclones in 2002]] is almost finished on its long path to becoming an FL. The hope is that after it's finished, that it provides a good model for the 30-odd other tropical cyclones by year articles on reaching the same goal.

Yes, 'twas I who awarded you the barnstar: I was surprised you hadn't got one already. [[User:Icelandic Hurricane|Icelandic Hurricane #12]] already awarded one to [[User:Jdorje|Jdorje]], and I figured you were the next logical recipient.

== I worked on the draft ==

== Hurricane Floyd ==

Hey Hurricanehink, remember the chat on the tropical cyclones in 1990 draft? I added just the summary on the North Atlantic portion, can you check to see if it is good? I think I could have made mistakes, but if one is found, kindly revert it. Have a good night! I will work on it more tomorrow.

== WikiCup 2025 March newsletter ==

I'd appreciate help explaining to Icelandic Hurricane on uploading and using images. [[User:NSLE|NSL]][[WP:EA|<font color="green">E]]</font> _{([[User_talk:NSLE|T]]+[[Special:Contributions/NSLE|C]])} at 12:58 [[Coordinated Universal Time|UTC]] <small>([[2006-03-20]])</small>

The first round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 26 February. As a reminder, we are no longer disqualifying the lowest-scoring contestants; everyone who competed in round 1 will advance to round 2 unless they have withdrawn or been banned from Wikipedia. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receive [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring#Tournament points|tournament points]] at the end of each round. Unlike the [[Wikipedia:WikiCup#Key|round points in the main WikiCup table]], which are reset at the end of each round, tournament points are carried over between rounds and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers. [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2025/Tournament points table|This table]] shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far.

== Page move ==

Round 1 was very competitive compared with previous years; two contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and the top 16 contestants all scored more than 500 round points. The following competitors scored more than 800 round points:

==Another Barnstar==

* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant16|Generalissima}} with 1,095 round points, mainly from 2 FAs, 2 [[Wikipedia:featured lists|featured lists]], 8 GAs, and 16 [[Wikipedia:Did you know|Did You Know]] articles mainly on historical topics.

During this round, contestants have claimed 18 featured articles, 26 featured lists, 1 featured-topic article, 197 good articles, 38 good-topic articles and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 23 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 550 reviews.

Remember that any content promoted after 26 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2, which begins on 1 March. 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 [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed]]. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

No need for a actual footnote reference I guess, since {{tl|hurricane main}} is already used to link to the main article and it should be clear (despite my confusion) where the information comes from.

I know you are interested in christianity, and I recently started a new wiki over at wikicities which is on the subject of christianity. [http://christianity.wikicities.com/ Christianity Knowledge Base] is the site.

The goal is to have a knowledgebase on christianity from a distinctly "C(hristian)POV" rather than the NPOV. This would go far beyond what is allowed on Wikipedia. Unfortunately, for example, there is a limit to how honorably and magnificently the Lord can be represented at WP.

Christianity Knowledge Base is not meant to be a mere Christian Encyclopedia, but to foster a real sense of community. I'd like to include things like current events, news, stories, and anything that would add to both an understanding of Christianity, but also its enjoyment. I'm looking for help to build a resource that could really enrich the lives of Christians.

I know you are busy but I am actively seeking new sysops/admins to help me build this site up, and I would be positively thrilled if you could contribute in any capacity whatsoever. [[User:Nsandwich|nsandwich]] 05:51, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

==Re:Wait a second==

That is not true that the info is in the article! I had to search other places for info for '''all''' the storms on the 2002 season because I couldn't fill in every thing with what was in the article. Plus, I find them useful because sometimes it takes me a bit longer to find out info, like the category, without templates like it. So, I think they are worth it.

Could you tell me where you got your data for the damages list on that page?

== Re: Storm Articles ==

I think misphrased myself in the merging discussion on Zeta. There were 2 things I should have clarified really (I was one of the anonymous users who has contributed to 2005 articles - just started a user account, trying too hard on word economy i guess).

The first is the comment about post-2005 seasons. As far as I can tell the biggest difference between 2005 and the other season articles isnt the number of storms its all the 'other' stuff. Looking at the length of the storm section in the 2004 season, if there was the same amount of other info as 2005 it would be getting on for 80k and this debate would have started last year. Given the larger number of contributors post-Katrina, I think it is likely that if 2006 is as active as 2004 the storms section will be significantly bigger, there will be more additional info and people will be complaining about article length.

The second is the commment about changing policy. What I meant is - say the decision (the second coming will be before consensus on this) IS to give every storm in 2005 an article. To continue to use notability on older (and newer) storms after that decision is inconsistent and will only cause further disputes. What I think this means is in future any article at least as well written as, say TS Lee's, doesn't get merged. -- [[User:Nilfanion|Nilfanion]] 16:42, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

:Actually having thought about it I agree with you, just got 'slightly' overly enthusiastic on the 2005 page. I think getting all modern seasons in all basins to FA is plausible (like the '97 East Pacific one maybe). My 'goals' 2 - 4 I agree are ridiculous actually. Perhaps a better phrasing is "A historical storm or a named storm can have an article if it has sufficient information", with a proviso that minor fishspinners don't get them unless the landfalling storms of that year have enough impact info for an article. The stuff on TDs, perhaps they are valid guidelines for what future TDs can get articles, damaging ones (like 14) or those which the NHC makes a mess of (like Kendra).

Just to let you know, I've started [[Draft:Tornadoes in Florida]] per a request you gave a while ago. Will knock out Mississippi and either Kansas or Missouri over the next few weeks. :)<span id="EF5:1742608921315:User_talkFTTCLNHurricanehink" class="FTTCmt"> —&nbsp;[[User:EF5|<span style="color:#A188FC;">'''E'''</span>]]_{[[User talk:EF5|<span style="color:#A188FC;">'''F'''</span>]]}^{[[User:EF5/Creations|<span style="color:#A188FC;">'''5'''</span>]]} 02:02, 22 March 2025 (UTC)</span>

I agree the vote is heading to the all-named-storms-get-article. Hopefully with the storm info 'safe' in storm articles, the statistics and lists pages can be revised to a format everyone accepts. Looking at the projects merging page is insightful to me, on a case-by-case basis Epsilon gets a keep. Now Epsilon is as utterly unnotable as Lee to anyone but a hurricane geek. It got that keep on article quality and the info on forecasting problems. Now Lee as reinstated has the second thing, after a copyedit it will be B-class IMO. On the arbitrary going back date I agree with you it will be about 2002/2003, thats the point where online news becomes reasonable as a source, and that is a systematic bias across WP. This means only 'notable' older storms have info, so both criteria give the same set of storms ultimately. Unless someone goes on an offline source search....[[User:Nilfanion|Nilfanion]] 09:21, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for that Hink, I am trying to engage with Eric now, as he is certainly the most ardent opponent of it. I'm aware of being bold, but I feel out of my depth here, talk about being thrown in at the deep end.

There is a new ongoing [[WP:RFC|request for comment]] discussion, with the goal to solve the various disputes on weather-related articles (such as [[tornado]]es or [[hurricane]]es) on how to best utilize damage estimates in the infobox. Your comments are '''highly-requested''', as the result of this discussion will affect all weather-related articles. This notice is being sent to all editors who have recently edited weather event articles.

Hey, you might want to check out [[User:Nilfanion/2005AHS]], which is a rewrite of the season storm section, with all storms having articles and the list article being redundant. I intend to work with Eric over the next few days and try and get it into an acceptable form for all, we seemed to have made some progress last night. Knowing you are going away tomorrow for some time, I just thought I would tell you now, so if you have anything to add there it would be appreciated. -- [[User:Nilfanion|Nilfanion]] 11:42, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

{{User QAIbox

Yea I know nothing much has happened, I've been ill past few days unfortunately. When I feel up to it, I think I will go through the other non-articled storms and create their articles to the same formula I have used for the others, then go back and work to improve them further. I'm not sure what is the best way to present the season storm summary now, I wonder if we should drop the concept altogether. The pertinent things about, Katrina say, are in the other sections of the article. Maybe a table with links to the articles and the list is appropriate, say have storm name, intensity, countries affected, damages and deaths? By the way with the existence of the unnamed subtropical storm, I think Alpha has become utterly unnotable, Wilma was the record breaker after all.

Thank you today for [[Hurricane Cindy (2005)]], about "Hurricane Cindy, the first of several hurricanes to hit the United States during the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season. Cindy caused a fair amount of damage, including to the Atlanta Motor Speedway from a tornado, as well as the largest power outage for Entergy, the energy company responsible for Louisiana/Mississippi region. Of course, this whole area would be devastated by Hurricane Katrina just a month and a half later. As a weird bit of foreshadowing, there were five parishes in Louisiana that were declared disaster areas on August 23... the same day that Hurricane Katrina formed. Cindy wasn't all that bad compared to the later storms, but it was still significant enough to warrant having an article."! -- [[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt|talk]]) 10:49, 29 March 2025 (UTC)

== WikiCup 2025 May newsletter ==

The second round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 28 April at 23:59 UTC. To reiterate what we said in the previous newsletter, we are no longer disqualifying contestants based on how many points (now known as round points) they received. Instead, the contestants with the highest round-point totals now receive [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring#Tournament points|tournament points]] at the end of each round. These tournament points are carried over between rounds, and can only be earned if a competitor is among the top 16 round-point scorers at the end of each round. [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2025/Tournament points table|This table]] shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far. Everyone who competed in round 2 will advance to round 3 unless they have withdrawn or been banned.

Round 2 was quite competitive. Four contestants scored more than 1,000 round points, and eight scored more than 500 points (including one who has withdrawn). The following competitors scored at least 800 points:

== FYI ==

* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant16|BeanieFan11}} with 1,233 round points from 24 [[Wikipedia:good articles|good articles]], 28 [[Wikipedia:Did you know|Did you know]] articles, and one [[WP:In the news|In the news]] nomination, mainly about athletes and politicians

Just in case you have not already read them:

* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant16|Thebiguglyalien}} with 1,127 round points, almost entirely from two high-multiplier [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|featured articles]] on [[Black Widow (Natasha Romanova)]] and [[Grace Coolidge]], in addition to two GAs and two reviews

*http://www.copernicus.org/EGU/adgeo/2/adgeo-2-217.pdf

*http://www.cosmic.ucar.edu/2002Conference/Abstracts/Kuo_YH_6_1.pdf

* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant16|Gog the Mild}} with 1,085 round points from three FAs, one GA, and four DYKs on military history, as well as 18 reviews

* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant16|Arconning}} with 887 round points, mostly from four FLs, six GAs, and seven DYKs on Olympic topics, along with more than two dozen reviews

In addition, we would like to recognize {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant16|Generalissima}} for her efforts; she scored 801 round points but withdrew before the end of the round.

The full scores for round 2 can be seen [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2025/Round 2|here]]. During this round, contestants have claimed 13 featured articles, 20 featured lists, 4 featured-topic articles, 138 good articles, 7 good-topic articles, and more than 100 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 19 In the News articles, and they have conducted nearly 300 reviews.

== StormWikiCup article2025 layoutJuly newsletter ==

The third round of the 2025 WikiCup ended on 28 June. This round was again competitive, with three contestants scoring more than 1,000 round points:

Hey hows your vacation going/gone? I'm feeling better so I finished off the first-pass on the remaining articles, I plan to go over the other 'minor' storms. I think I will raise the issue of articles for storms on [[WP:MEDCAB]] as soon as I figure it out, the informal option seems the best way and should give insight into 'what next?'. Anyway I've been thinking about a subtle rearrangement of how the data is presented IN storm articles; I remember 'outside' editors having problems with how Katrina's retirement is treated and they have a valid point I think. I think the following layout could offer an improvement to all storms. My minor storm articles are temporary in layout, just made that way for ease of writing.

* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant16|BeanieFan11}} with 1,314 round points, mostly from articles about athletes and politicians, including 20 [[Wikipedia:good articles|good articles]] and 48 [[Wikipedia:did you know|did you know]] articles

*Intro

* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant16|Gog the Mild}} with 1,197 round points, mostly from military history articles, including 9 [[WP:FT|featured topic]] articles, two [[Wikipedia:featured articles|featured articles]], and four good articles

*Storm History (no reference to post season changes - eg in Emily simply state it was a cat 5)

* {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant16|Sammi Brie}} with 1,055 round points, mostly from television station articles, including 27 good articles and 9 [[WP:GT|good topic]] articles

*Preparations (include warnings stuff)

*Impact

*Aftermath

*Forecasting (This to include after-the-fact changes - As a Top-level section here or between history and preparations; as a subsection of history, or a section ''containing'' preparations?)

*Other stuff (Name issue? This to contain the stuff which doesn't really belong elsewhere, like Alpha - first exhausted list Greek named storm, Gordon (1994) - Lack of retirement, Katrina - Retirement, most '05 storms - earliest nth storm)

*The refs and links.

Everyone who competed in round 3 will advance to round 4 unless they have withdrawn. [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2025/Tournament points table|This table]] shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far, while the full scores for round 3 can be seen [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2025/Round 3|here]]. During this round, contestants have claimed 4 featured articles, 16 [[WP:FL|featured lists]], 1 [[WP:FP|featured picture]], 9 featured-topic articles, 149 good articles, 27 good-topic articles, and more than 90 Did You Know articles. In addition, competitors have worked on 18 [[WP:ITN|In the News]] articles, and they have conducted more than 200 reviews.

Apart from the name of the last section... what works? I think this could offer the basis for a consistent layout of articles for all storms; and as 2005 will set standards what do you think? --[[User:Nilfanion|Nilfanion]] 21:46, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Remember that any content promoted after 28 June but before the start of Round 4 can be claimed in Round 4.

:Glad to hear you are hiding from the sun to work on WP, lol. Forecasting and preparations do overlap in terms of content (warnings for instance). However they do seem subtly different so a 'correct' section name might be a little complex. The biggest problem I noticed is the lack of impact stuff for those storms not touching the US. With US storms we have that nice rainfall graphic from the HPC for instance. However I found a potentially '''very''' useful information source on the WMO site [http://www.wmo.ch/web/www/TCP/reports.html]. The RA IV session reports contain the information submitted by the countries. For example the 27th session report (the 2004 season) contains "Hurricane Jeanne caused losses equivalent to $270 million [in the Dominican Republic]". There is a LARGE amount of extra info in those reports, and its on an area the project struggles with - non-US impact! I hope they get the 28th session report up soon... --[[User:Nilfanion|Nilfanion]] 14:27, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

== Hey ==

I think what we should do now is get [[Hurricane Irene (2005)|Irene's article]] to the 'best possible' status (Is A-class possible?). All the articles exist now, lets get them good one at a time, that seems the one to start with. Once its settled, then go into the other storms, starting with the other recreations, then the other minors (the Greeks mostly); we have a framework to work with in Irene I think. --[[User:Nilfanion|Nilfanion]] 14:32, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

:I think Irene has had the major work and is nearing what we can do now. We have two model articles to work from now, Irene and Epsilon. Epsilon presents the forecasting as a distinct section, Irene as part of the history, if we could decide one or the other it would work better. As that feels like the end is in sight, I start to expand my active interest, only to find the mess that the [[2005-06 Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone season]] is in. The article is trying to do waaaaaay too much (imagine an article on the "2005 Northern Hemisphere tropical cyclone season"), a [[Cyclone Larry|retirement worthy storm]] has a 5 sentence description as the '''entire''' mention of it on the season article (not even a pic) while Tropical Storms have on-season-article descriptions not far below Atlantic standards. I proposed a 3-way split on the article, (see my logic there) and IMO a 2-way at the least is necessary as it is an article about something that doesnt even exist (there are 2 seasons: the SW Indian and the SE Indian/S Pacific). --[[User:Nilfanion|Nilfanion]] 18:01, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

== La Isla Bonita ==

::Yea I agree, A-class is not possible, but Irene is about B-class now, I will leave Epsilon to the end and then see if a reorganisation makes sense (the others don't use forecasting as their justification for existence). With the S Hemisphere, understand your logic there. It is messy a split, as crossovers are much more common - its like if the central Pacific was significant and couldn't be treated as a subbasin of the EastPac. The demarcations are clear between regions are clear enough. [http://www.wmo.ch/web/www/TCP/Advisories-RSMCs.html] The primary reason for favouring the Australian separation from South Pacific (apart from storm numbers), is primarily in that the Australians use a distinct scale from Saffir-Sampson. This causes problems with clarity, as for example in 2004-05, there (Australian) TC Harvey is Cat 3 (Aus scale) and (S Pac) Severe TC Meena is Cat 4 (Saffir-Sampson). We don't need to go far back in time until the Aus/S Pac regions might as well be merged; the information dries up ''fast''. A 3-way split could work if the intro starts "The 2005-06 Aus season, officially part of the 2005-06 SE Indian/S Pac season. --[[User:Nilfanion|Nilfanion]] 21:57, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi {{ping|User:Hurricanehink}},

I've just nominated "La Isla Bonita" for Featured Article — it's my sixth nomination attempt, and this one’s close to my heart as a longtime Madonna fan.

The article has been carefully sourced, expanded, and reviewed for prose and compliance. If you have time to take a look or leave comments, it would truly mean a lot.

:::Thanks for congrats on the Irene article. I think like with 2005AHS, the thing to do with the south is not to worry about the past just yet, get the most recent articles right first (there is a bad tendency for articled storms to have pathetic stubs in the season). I say do the 2-way split all the way back, go to straight to pre-2000 for the SW and leave as is for the other, this way we are at least talking about valid WMO seasons. With a 3-way split that is only viable for 2004-05 onwards, earlier seasons are not good enough. I say implement the 2-way split and then review it once the [[2005-06 South Pacific and Southeast Indian cyclone season]] stabilises. --[[User:Nilfanion|Nilfanion]] 23:36, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Here's the nomination: [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/La Isla Bonita/archive6]]

Right, now Irene is 'done', and gives me a framework to work with, Lee is next on my 'hit-list'. I agree on the 2 way split - the SW Indian from the others. I think the 3-way split in the long term would be better (come on after 2005AHS you gotta expect that from me), my reasoning being the 3 different scales used and secondly east of 160E tropical cyclones are ''hurricanes'' (if strong enough). However, I can see without the number of storms/info, there is no point really.--[[User:Nilfanion|Nilfanion]] 12:00, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

No pressure at all — just wanted to reach out in case you were interested.

Just so you know, I will work through ''all'' the storms at a steady pace (I will leave the retired ones to last obviously). I have put a todo table on my userpage, showing how its going. I don't think it is right for me to do this completely on my own, I think someone else has to come in to do copyediting, look for lacking info and assess what class it is (outside eyes are better...). I'm done adding to Lee now and just starting Franklin. --[[User:Nilfanion|Nilfanion]] 10:13, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

I am in shock as to how much more we can do to storm articles now. Have you noticed [http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pastall.shtml this page] on the NHC site and its contents? Some seasons just have TCRs, but some have much more information. Take [[Hurricane Helene (1958)]], Storm05 created that from the NOAA season summary. On the NHC site, in addition to the full TCR, there is [http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/storm_wallets/atlantic/atl1958/helene/news/ 15 pages] of newspaper cuttings and similar stuff. I told Storm05 about it, hopefully he will add a lot more data to his storm articles.

::Well for my part, I understand what you mean about getting frustrated with most people. The majority of the pro-article mob just seem to be "of course they are worth articles", without actually adding much to the 2005 season storms, nevermind the past. I have no intent on sticking to the 'current' seasons, just 27 storms is going to take time. When that is done I will likely go and assist you with retired storms (Irene at B-class, [[Hurricane Inez|Inez]] a stub is just wrong), though 2006AHS will interfere. Thanks on the copyedit, as I get more experienced I will get better at doing that myself. As for assessment, fair enough, that's why I don't want to do it.

::::Well, you could help me, give me Spanish lessons, LOL. I'm tempted to start a quotes subpage on my userspace, to contain the best (or should that be worst) of them. And the fact help is there is all the reassurance I think I need :).--[[User:Nilfanion|Nilfanion]] 21:45, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi! I think I've finally gotten to a point at [[Greensburg tornado]] where a fifth FAC may be forthcoming. I've done [[User:EF5/Greensburg FA checklist|a 144-reference spotcheck]], got a sourcing quasi-review at [[WP:DISCORD]], but still need to check the prose. If you don't mind, could you look over it and see if there's anything major missing? You brought up loads of prose concerns at one of the FACs so you'd be my go-to for this question.<span id="EF5:1755004967000:User_talkFTTCLNHurricanehink" class="FTTCmt"> —&nbsp;<big>^{[[User:EF5|<span style="color:#A188FC;">'''E'''</span>]]}</big>[[Special:Contributions/EF5|<span style="color:#A188FC;">'''F'''</span>]]^{[[User:EF5/Creations|<span style="color:#A188FC;">'''5'''</span>]]} 13:22, 12 August 2025 (UTC)</span>

Hink, do you know what is wrong with Philippe's image (#5 for me..)? I tried putting the list image in, but I get some weird error code.--[[User:Nilfanion|Nilfanion]] 22:17, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

== References ==

I am looking for French or Creole sources re: impacts in Haiti. Do you have any good references? (On another note, I am [[User:CapeVerdeWave/sandbox|also working]] on getting [[1888 Louisiana hurricane|this old article]] of mine to GA or better.) At some point I really hope to get at least one FA... [[User:CapeVerdeWave|CapeVerdeWave]] ([[User talk:CapeVerdeWave|talk]]) 09:41, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

Yeah, a little bit. I asked another editor who likes to do citations if he wanted to finish them off for you, and he told me to add the template, but it seems you beat him to the punch... <tt>:)</tt> [[User:Titoxd|Tito]][[Wikipedia:Esperanza|<span style="color:#008000;">xd</span>]]^{([[User_talk:Titoxd|?!?]] - [[Wikipedia:WikiProject edit counters/Flcelloguy's Tool|help us]])} 01:39, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

:{{ping|Hurricanehink}} Supposedly the 1878&nbsp;storm inflicted hundreds of deaths in the Caribbean (presumably Haiti?), so I really need a more detailed source than Barnes (1998) to verify this. I, too, have been unable to find one yet, using the same methods and resources as you. Do you know of a French/Creole newspaper archive somewhere? It would be very helpful. If I can confirm the report of several hundred deaths, then 1878&nbsp;might be FA-worthy as well; I have already found some good sources for Canada (that have yet to be incorporated into the draft), and I think the losses elsewhere seem fairly notable.

:Concerning 1947, I prefer to keep the Florida sub-article and turn it into an FA candidate on its own, as [[User:12george1|12george1]] is [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Effects of the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane in Florida/archive1|doing]] with [[Effects of the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane in Florida|his counterpart]] (he has really done a fantastic job handling the 1928&nbsp;storm overall). But I am preoccupied with other articles now and have not made the changes I need yet. I ''do'' know, however, that the sources are out there, and that the 1947&nbsp;season was a watershed in South Florida history, as storm-related flooding served as an impetus for the creation of the Everglades agricultural and water-conservation areas, large-scale impoundment, etc. Books and news items are copious.

== Irene ==

:(As an aside, bear in mind that I didn't actually create the main 1947&nbsp;article, but only the Florida sub-article; I just added a lot to and revised some sections.)

I didn't mean to sound "disappointed" that you said no to A-class on Irene. I am trying to learn how assessment works so test cases like that are useful for me. I was neutral on the classifcation being upped, only the way I read the assessment criteria I interpreted "nothing more substantial to say" as "higher than B class". That reading meant I felt it could be a higher class. Also by putting it there is also to see if there is general approval of the B (beyond us two and Jdorje). 31% B-class or higher, thats bad...I want to get more like 90% in the wikiproject.--[[User:Nilfanion|Nilfanion]] 23:11, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

:As far as FA candidates go, I personally am proud of the [[1933 Florida–Mexico hurricane]]; I think its prose flows better than most of the other contenders. With some revision—and maybe some extra sources—I think it could definitely go up to FA. (I believe it was rated A-class under the old GA rankings.) Next up is the [[1932 Abaco hurricane]]. I am still surprised that I managed to find as much about this storm as I did, given that I only had enough for a start or stub at the beginning. Third comes the [[1926 Nassau hurricane]]. I believe it can be streamlined, but it definitely has FA hallmarks.

==Jose==

I made a requested translation of the Impact Jose. The original page is in [http://www.teorema.com.mx/articulos.php?id_sec=44&id_art=184 this site]. Since I'm a native speaker of Spanish here goes the translation of the text. All the grammar correction were made (I hope), If there's someone, '''feel free''' to make it:

:Another potential FA I am [[User:CapeVerdeWave/1926 San Liborio hurricane|working on]] is the [[1935 Yankee hurricane]]. It may not be as deadly—or notorious—as some other storms, but it ''is'' quite unusual. I certainly located a lot of sources, too. The "recovery" section will take more time, however; a lot of tidbits are found in various news articles spread out over a week or more, so I will need to continue sleuthing and collating information. (There were, for instance, rumored deaths that I tried to back up by browsing different media during this timeframe.) Ideally, I would love to get this, 1926, 1932, and 1933 up to FA at some point.

Tropical Storm Jose damaged crops, highways and homes; left districts of several cities under the water, around fifty isolated communities and 80 thousand people in shelters in the state of Veracruz. This situation forced President Vicente Fox to make a visit to the disaster zones. The government of that state concluded that damages caused by the rain could rise to 500 million pesos (around 48 million dollars), as they report the damages caused in 120 municipalities. The sub secretary of the Civil Defense (Protección Civil), Ranulfo Márquez Hernández, revealed that eight of the municipalities received most of the damage and explained that in those zones there were 10 thousands victims, according to a report. Those municipalities are Martínez de la Torre, Misantla, Nautla, San Rafael, Vega de la Torre, Actopan, Cardel and Úrsulo Galván. The damages to the highway infrastructure are estimated in 350 million pesos (around 33 million dollars) mainly in the municipalities of Naranjos, Agua Dulce, Jáltipan, San Andrés Tuxtla, Hidalgotitlán, Tenochtitlán, Cosoleacaque, Chinameca and Catemaco.

:There are several others of mine that could conceivably count as well, as you mentioned, but these are starters. [[User:CapeVerdeWave|CapeVerdeWave]] ([[User talk:CapeVerdeWave#top|talk]]) 08:25, 23 August 2025 (UTC)

State civil employees (empleados estatales) informed that the there were damages in at least 16 thousand homes and in 32 thousand hectares (around 80 thousand acres) of sugar cane, mainly in the South of that state. Also, 25 thousand hectares (around 60 thousand acres) used for cattle were flooded. Four thousand hectares of orange and Persian lemon were also flooded; in the river basin of the Papaloapan, damages to rice and sugar cane were severe; four thousand hectares (around ten thousand acres) of maize were "completely flooded"; and 2 thousand hectares (around 5000 thousand acres) of banana crops were damaged. In addition, damages to watermelon and vanilla crops surpass the 50 hectares (around 125 acres) and in 80 cages of mojarra in Barra de Chachalacas, as well as the disappearance of boats. With the purpose of avoiding infections in the zones where floods were registered, the Health Secretary (Secretaría de Salud, SSA) sent to damaged zones, 90 active medical brigades. The governor Fidel Herrera assured that "he passed the emergency" and affirmed that the damages were high because Tropical Storm Jose was combined with other meteorological patterns; however, the President requested more precise data.

::{{ping|Hurricanehink}} Re: Haiti, you said that the first newspaper there was founded in the 1890s, but a [https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-western-sun/166736265/ contemporary clipping] refers to a Port-au-Prince publication, ''Le Peuple''. So apparently Haitian media existed in 1878, but are unavailable online. Given that Haiti maintained communication with Jamaica, I also tried Newspaper Archive for the Kingston ''Gleaner'', but sadly almost no issues in 1878&nbsp;had been preserved (adequate coverage started a year or two later). I also did a generic search for the towns mentioned, but media mostly carried the same story with no follow-up, as the storm crippled Haiti's links to the outside world. Many 19th-century storms both in and outside the U.S. are poorly documented, so I would not be surprised if the rumors of several hundred deaths are true, especially in Haiti.

::While appreciative of compliments, I do feel that my proficiency in writing articles is a bit irregular. Other editors, I feel, have a better grasp of syntax and deploy a broader vocabulary than I do. For example, compare some of my articles to [[1929 Bahamas hurricane|this one]] (I believe [[User:TheAustinMan|TheAustinMan]] helped bring it to GA, along with [[User:Cyclonebiskit|Cyclonebiskit]] and/or [[User:Juliancolton|Juliancolton]]). That article flows so well and deftly varies its choice of words; by contrast, whenever I read my articles I find them awkward and/or unoriginal. At the same time, I know that encyclopedic prose must be lucid and succinct (I chose these words with the help of a dictionary!), whereas I tend to ramble. At any rate, my mind has aged over the years, so I am not as adept at finessing my sentences. I could certainly use a good copy-editor to polish my work! What do you advise?

:::{{ping|Hurricanehink}} Re: Haiti, I did find some sources ([https://www.oldnews.com/en/newspapers/haiti here] and [https://ufdc.ufl.edu/collections/ianh/results here]), but nothing from 1878. As far as writing goes, your advice is sound; I actually have a few books about it. Even so, I still find that my prose does not read well, even after shortening. For example, I have [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:CapeVerdeWave/1878_Kissimmee_hurricane&diff=prev&oldid=1307635377 made] some [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:CapeVerdeWave/1878_Kissimmee_hurricane&diff=prev&oldid=1307660122 effort] to [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:CapeVerdeWave/1878_Kissimmee_hurricane&diff=prev&oldid=1307714441 streamline] [[User:CapeVerdeWave/1878 Kissimmee hurricane|this draft]], but compared to other articles (such as [[1900 Galveston hurricane|this one]], [[1915 Galveston hurricane|this one]], and the 1929&nbsp;storm) it still feels unwieldy. It just ''sounds'' clumsy. Do you or anyone else have some more tips? [[User:CapeVerdeWave|CapeVerdeWave]] ([[User talk:CapeVerdeWave|talk]]) 08:42, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
