WikiProject Tropical Cyclones: News & Developments
New good articles since the last newsletter include:
The 2005 Atlantic hurricane season will have its one year anniversary in 2025. The season was one of the busiest and most destructive, including the notorious hurricanes Hurricane Katrina and Wilma. There is a collaboration for the various articles in the 2005 season to improve it to a featured topic by its 20 year anniversary. There is an active FAC - Hurricane Cindy (2005) - and recently, several sub-articles were merged into Hurricane Dennis to help improve that article. There are also some discussions involving article mergers on Katrina's talk page. Deterioation of existing featured/good articles Over the last few years, we have lost several featured and good articles. Among the loss of featured articles include Tropical Storm Allison, hurricanes Danny (1997), Esther, Gloria, Irene, Juan, and Nora, plus the Meteorological history of Hurricane Dean, Numerical weather prediction, and Surface weather analysis. Most of these are quite old, so it makes sense they wouldn't be up to featured status, but that means that 2003 Atlantic hurricane season, the 1997 Pacific hurricane season, and Hurricane Dean are no longer featured topics. New good articles since the last newsletter include: WikiProject To-Do

Current assessment table As of this issue, there are 161 featured articles and 80 featured lists. There are 3 A-class articles, and 1123 good articles. There are only 170 B-class articles, perhaps because because most articles of that quality already passed a GA review. There are 660 C-class articles, 803 start-class articles, and 138 stub-class articles, with 1125 lists, and 0 current articles. These figures mean that slightly more than half of the project is rated a GA or better. Typhoon Warren was the 1000th GA in the project. Project Goals & Progress The following is the current progress on the four milestone goals set by the WikiProject as of this publishing. They can be found, updated, at the main WikiProject page.
