Images for Each Storm

Will finish later. Bret, Gert, and Emily are in their pages. Hurricanehink 16:19, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Got Dennis. Hurricanehink 17:34, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Hurricanehink 19:59, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Added storm pics

The work is already done. I hope I didn't spoil it. juan andrés 19:06, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! Nah, just kidding, thanks for doing that. Next time, use the clear template, rather than the spacing. Hurricanehink 19:54, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Got it. You're welcome! Before I begin with the translations, is the storm pics template in commons? Because I think it would be great using it in the Spanish version. juan andrés 20:28, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think so. Every pic I upload is in the commons, but images others upload might not be in the commons. Hurricanehink 20:46, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, there are no templates shared in commons, and I don't think that they can be shared. Just copy it over...or even better, copy over and use {{infobox hurricane small}}. Jdorje 21:46, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops, mis-read. Hurricanehink 22:01, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tropical Depression 10

Does this need a section? [1] Good kitty 01:12, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, of course :P--Nilfanion (talk) 01:18, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey all. I'm doing hurricane research at the University of Florida. Currently I'm using these pages simply for names of storms since the model I'm extracting data from (SHIPS) only contains the first four letters of each name. Some wiki pages are missing storms that were tracked using this model. As far as my reason for writing here; TD10 occured September 29-31 and not October 29-31. I went ahead and made the changes on the page but figured I should introduce myself, lest I make any more edits. Inxtricablfate 02:45, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Superstorm

It would be trivial, but as the 1993 superstorm was subtropical, would it be worth a brief mention of it? HurricaneFan 25 19:09, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There's no evidence it was subtropical. If some agency said it was (and not a mere reference to the system having some tropical characteristics), then it might be worth mentioning, along the lines of the 1994 Christmas nor'easter. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:55, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review

Reviewer: Yellow Evan (talk · contribs) 00:00, 1 January 2013 (UTC) Doing... I will be doing the review.[reply]

Why do you mention so much on Emily in the lead? This is not the EPAC, landfalls are not that important. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:00, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It has nothing to do with landfall. I mentioned Emily because it was the strongest storm of the season. Also, I wrote more for more devastating Hurricane Gert.--12george1 (talk) 19:40, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Tropical Depression One and Hurricane Emily also caused land impacts. However, the storm collectively caused 339 deaths and $302.7 million in damage.[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][7][17][18][19][20]" why so many refs? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 02:25, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Because all of those sources have to be used to come up with the total number of deaths and amount of damage.--12george1 (talk) 19:40, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"n June.August" you left out a space here sir. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 02:25, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed--12george1 (talk) 19:40, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The timeline graph needs symbols around them. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 02:25, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What symbols?--12george1 (talk) 19:40, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The (TS) crap. Like this

Also, shouldn't the timeline graph be in the SS not the storms. I hate blank sections. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 02:25, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Technically, the section isn't blank, but I will move the graph anyway.--12george1 (talk) 19:40, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Optional, but I would delink the storm names per WP:OVERLINKING. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 02:25, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You said this is optional, so I don't have to do it.--12george1 (talk) 04:09, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"In El Salvador, rainfall from the precursor tropical wave caused mudslides throughout the country, which in turn resulted in 20 fatalities. Immense amounts of precipitation in Mexico caused flooding in the states of Veracruz, Campeche, Yucatán, San Luis Potosí, Quintana Roo, Nuevo León, and Jalisco. 5 deaths and $33 million in damage was reported in Mexico.[16][30] " IIRC IDD says $1 bil combined with Arlene. I also recall Hink telling me something about the Dartmouth flood observatory here related to this damage, so you might wanna check that. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 02:25, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, I checked the Dartmouth archive and there was nothing about $1 billion in damage. Now Tropical Storm Beatriz apparently caused $1.7 billion, which may have been in combination with Arlene. However, I don't know how reliable the source is and cannot find anything else to back it up.--12george1 (talk) 04:09, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Ill let this go given the state of Beartiz's article. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 04:30, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"10 fatalities were reported in Nicaragua, 9 of which were drowning victims after a Spanish vessel sank. Overall, Tropical Storm Bret caused 184 deaths and about $25 million in damage.[7]" don't start a sentence with a number. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 02:25, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed--12george1 (talk) 19:40, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In Cindy's section, I'd put the 2.75 inches in 6 min total as well as mention the 15.55 occrued in only six hours (Which is actually 15.6 per the featured storm article). Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 02:25, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed--12george1 (talk) 04:09, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"1,000 mbar " why the comma? There is no comma in the infobox, right. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 02:25, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The convert template adds the comma. Remove the template?--12george1 (talk) 19:40, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"though it weakened back early " to what? my underpants? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 02:25, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That part makes sense but the weakened back part does not. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 04:30, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed--12george1 (talk) 05:47, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Makes sense to me. Read the whole sentence: "Late on August 26, Emily briefly became a hurricane, though it weakened back early on the following day." You can see that the "following day" was August 27.--12george1 (talk) 19:40, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"While passing southeast of Newfoundland, the storm produced very light rainfall in some areas.[53]" how light? 0.01 inch? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 02:25, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed--12george1 (talk) 19:42, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"moved north-northwest at 6 to 11 mph (9.7 to 18 km/h)" why the wind speed? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 02:25, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There isn't the wind speed. It is the forward speed.--12george1 (talk) 19:40, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you mention the forward speed then? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 04:30, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed--12george1 (talk) 05:47, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

" Impact from the depression in Bermuda was nil." why do you mention it then? I could say Ten had no affect on sports teams, but what would did say? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 02:25, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe that's why the Miami Dolphins suck, lol; fixed--12george1 (talk) 19:40, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why are landfalls bolded in the SE chart? The ATL has too many landfalls for it worth mentioning. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 02:25, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I though that was the standard for the new impact tables.--12george1 (talk) 19:40, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

See this. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 04:30, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No consensus was made on that discussion. Therefore, I can keep the table as is.--12george1 (talk) 05:47, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
