A new elimination drive of the backlog at Wikipedia:Good article candidates will take place from the month of July through August 12, 2007. There are currently about 130 articles that need to be reviewed right now. If you are interested in helping with the drive, then please visit Wikipedia:Good article candidates backlog elimination drive and record the articles that you have reviewed. Awards will be given based on the number of reviews completed. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :{{ GAReview}} underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the drive's talk page. Please help to eradicate the backlog to cut down on the waiting time for articles to be reviewed.
You have received this message either due to your membership with WikiProject: Good Articles and/or your inclusion on the Wikipedia:Good article candidates/List of reviewers. -- Nehrams2020 03:39, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

The Southeast Pacific. East of 140W and south of the Equator is the last refuge from tropical cyclones. None. Zero. Nada. Every other tropical ocean has had one but not the southeast Pacific right? Take a look at this picture. Down there in that supposedly untouched ocean is what appears to be a subtropical/tropical cyclone. The center is near the dotted line, somewhat exposed and removed from the convection, but it's attatched and I'd guess those winds to be around 50 knots. The center is closer in this IR picture [1]. And, it formed from an area of disturbed weather, not an extratropical system, which indicates tropical origin. However, it lasted only a day: 12Z on Sep 2 to 09Z on Sep 3. Perhaps the Southwest Pacific is no longer the last frontier. -- § Hurricane E RIC archive 21:34, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
I've looked at your links, and see nothing but extratropical lows. Was it a gridding problem that has now been fixed, or something like that? Some tracks have gone towards 120W in the past, as pointed out in the example above. Thegreatdr 17:30, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
You might want to revive a Cosme sandbox, since the latest forecast brings it back to a TS near Johnston Island and it's expected to cross into the WPac as a TS. Also, I desperately need your help in dealing with storm05 here - Talk:Typhoon Dianmu (2004). Thanks. – Chacor 14:56, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments on the FAC, Hurricanehink. I believe I have addressed everything that you have mentioned (I have moved the topless image to the top of the article, cleaned up the intro sentences on the sections you have mentioned, changed instances of "debacle" to "controversy", introduced an earlier link to HCMC, and removed contractions in the article's unquoted prose.)

I'm not allowed to share it, unfortunately (it's the work of one of the current hurricane specialists). Another person within this project, who is also in the tropical cyclones mailing list, made a similar request a few days ago. Whenever it has come up within the tropical cyclone e-mail list (which includes numerous forecasters and researchers) it has not been forwarded to the whole group. If other TC researchers involved in related studies aren't allowed to see it, I'm fairly sure no one outside the hurricane reanalysis project is allowed to see it either. The spreadsheet starts in 1946 and runs to current, and is color coded as to which candidates have the best chance for addition. It includes all known tropical depressions and approximate locations of formation/existence. What I can do (like I did with 1969) is list the location of nondeveloping tropical depressions within the respective hurricane seasons, since this information is already in print and was once widely disseminated. Thegreatdr 22:01, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
Wow, that's interesting. My verdict is that it was a subtropical cyclone that developed from a frontal low, although I'm not sure it has tropical storm force winds down there. Looks like one of those polar systems that are always sending false alarms, only it's off North Carolina. The storm to it's northeast looks interesting as well. It looks pretty tropical. All in all, I'd say that May, 1988 was a baffling month in the tropics. -- § Hurricane E RIC archive 16:35, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Have restored parts of the previous prose. Couple of issues with yours:
If you want to find a way to weave your prose in, yeah, but I think outright replacing what was there when it pretty much said the same thing, while you could fairly do that ("If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed for profit by others, do not submit it"), was a bit unreal and slightly rude, given how long it took me. – Chacor 02:23, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
Take a look at this picture of the eastern Pacific on August 8, 1994. The most obvious storm is Tropical Storm Hector off Baja California. Tropical Storm Li is at the far left. Tropical Depression One-C is near 150 degrees. But look between Hector and One-C near 120 degrees. That appears to be a tiny storm. I judge it to be either a strong depression or a weak tropical storm. It lasts for four and a half days and then, as it's weakening, another storm seems to appear: [3], ( vis). Just like its brother, this new guy stays small [4] and lasts for another four days and appears to be stronger than the first; a surefire storm: [5]. Could somebody smarter than I am please explain this to me? -- § Hurricane E RIC archive 21:34, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Ok you may have noticed me on the various hurricanes pages although i doubt you have cos i dont really spend alot of time on here. Basically i wanna help contribute more to the tropical cyclones portal. Now i know that everything is made clear what needs doing and so on but tbh its like giving me a feast and asking me where do i wanna start. Im hoping to learn alot more than what i do know about cyclones and i jus wanna help out. I was wondering if you could give me a point in the right direction with what needs doing on an article or whtever. I hope im not being too much of a hassle but i wanna try and get to know a few people on here and you seem to know your stuff so you were the best place to start. hope to here from you soon Seddon69 20:28, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi Hurricanehink, I saw your message on my talk page. Sorry, I haven't been able to access Wikipedia very much recently.

Hello. I added the storm heading/list in the storm section of the 2007 Storm Season earlier and you had it removed. You're much more dedicated to these pages, and have a more more inate knowledge of them, so I wanted to know why you did not want the heading listed. It appeared dynamic and functional. Please advise. Thank you. DigitalCatalyst 16:31, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
Adding this, to show what I added:
Thank you again! DigitalCatalyst 16:33, 13 September 2007 (UTC) I see what you mean. I don't know if I can remove the redlink, as its part of the template. But I'll see if I can! I like this display as it shows the order, intensity, name and number of different types of storms in one place, making it very useful. I agree though, as the storm season isn't complete yet, there shouldn't yet be a list of storms from the 2007 storm season. Though if there was one, it wouldn't hurt. DigitalCatalyst 16:55, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
I followed your advice and have been using the dicussions. Its been slow progress because i was in college all day today so i havnt done as much work as i would have liked. One question i wanted to ask was how in depth should i go into changes in pressure etc. I know this storm didnt really do anything spectacular but the spanish version of the page seemed to have alot of pressures and things like that.
Many thanks Seddon69 21:20, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

1974 Eastern Pacific! Twice during the same week in August were there five storms active at once, all with not more than 50 longitudinal degrees of seperation. At 00Z on August 24, there was Tropical Storm Olive (C. Pac), Hurricane Ione, Hurricane Kirsten, Tropical Storm Lorraine and Hurricane Joyce. At 18Z on August 26, there was Ione, Kirsten (now a storm), Lorraine, Joyce and Hurricane Maggie. This time, there were five for a full 12 hours! My God! Can you imagine? A glimpse of greatness: only Ione is missing from this picture. Seemingly near the Mexican coast and closest storm to center on the left hand side is Maggie. Joyce is the next obvious storm (theres a little debris in between the two). And in the haze at the extreme far left are two storms; Kirsten is the farthest away and Lorraine is a footstep to its northeast. Wow! That's unconscious! Have there ever been five Atlantic storms active at once? -- § Hurricane E RIC archive 06:02, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
Oooh! Simultaneous major hurricanes! That's always fun. Nothing like a friendly thunder stealing contest. I'm burning with competitive desire. Some gruesome twosomes you overlooked:

I was looking back at all the unnamed storms and seeing how different things would've been had they been named. Just a few examples (yes, these are the storms you think they are): Hurricane Wilma would've been Alpha (!!), Gilbert would've been Helene, Andrew would've been Bonnie (yikes!), Agnes becomes Betty, Flora becomes Ginny, Fifi would've been Ivy (!!), the last storm of the 1969 season would've been named Sadie, 1964 is completely f-ed (Cleo is Ethel, Dora is Florence, Hilda is Janet and Isbell is Katy), Hattie is Inga, Donna is Ethel (ahh!), Audrey is Bertha (it would appear missing storms isn't all that bad), 1954 got fun: Hazel is Irene and Alice Two is Katherine. How about that! How very different the record books would have looked but for a few slight oversights. -- § Hurricane E RIC archive 01:37, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Oh boy, another reason to love the West Pacific: If 2005 had had as many storms as the 1964 WPac season, the most active in the history of the planet, the last storm of the season would have been named Sigma, leaving just six Greek letters unused! Now, in those days, storm intensities were overestimated by an average of 10-20 knots, so there were probably fewer than 39 storms, but still it doesn't get much better than that. -- § Hurricane E RIC archive 21:11, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

You either nominated a WP:FLC or closed such a nomination recently. As such, you are the type of editor whose opinion I am soliciting. We now have over 400 featured lists and seem to be promoting in excess of 30 per month of late (41 in August and 42 in September). When Today's featured article (TFA) started ( 2004-02-22), they only had about 200 featured articles and were barely promoting 20 new ones per month. I think the quality of featured lists is at least as good as the quality of featured articles was when they started appearing on the main page. Thus, I am ready to open debate on a proposal to institute a List of the Day on the main page with nominations starting November 1 2007, voting starting December 1 2007 and main page appearances starting January 1 2008. For brevity, the proposal page does not discuss the details of eventual main page content, but since the work has already been done, you should consider this proposal assuming the eventual content will resemble the current content at the featured content page. Such output would probably start at the bottom of the main page. The proposal page does not debate whether starting with weekly list main page entries would be better than daily entries. However, I suspect persons in favor of weekly lists are really voicing opinions against lists on the main page since neither TFA nor Picture of the day started as weekly endeavors, to the best of my knowledge. Right now debate seems to be among support for the current selective democratic/consensus based proposal, a selective dictatorial approach like that used at WP:TFA or a non-selective first in line/calendar approach like that used at WP:POTD. See the List of the Day proposal and comment at WP:LOTDP and its talk page.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 19:33, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Actually I pointed at the incorrect section of the archive. The more correct section was this. However, point is it has been brought up on WPTC before. The problem is, WPTC is dead as a discussion venue...
You note that the edits to Marty break WPTC consistency. However, makes Marty consistent with Wikipedia as a whole. The solution is to fix all the bad hatnotes within WPTC, which takes time. The point is why do we need to disambiguate unambiguous titles? Irene '99 has zero connection to Irene '05, so why do we need link from '05 to '99?-- Nilf anion ( talk) 15:52, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
Bleh, sorry about my behaviour earlier. When you spend a lot of time cleaning up certain high quality edits you forget good practice... I know what you mean about the see also section. Having said that I don't think your solution is ideal, disambiguation pages really should not be linked to like that. Personally, I'm really not a fan of naming trivia and I know List of tropical cyclones named Alice (that you proposed in that old discussion) would have no chance on AFD. What I may have a go at is a navbar template for this stuff, offhand can you think of any name that has over 4 storm articles?-- Nilf anion ( talk) 21:19, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Is there a way I can fix this so that it links to the Australian Scale, rather than the Saffir-Simpson one, because there are some major inconsistencies with this (Like Cyclone Erica showing as 115 sustained 1-min-winds, but showing as a SS Cat 5, which it isn't.
Any response is appreciated. Metamorphazone 07:33, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, I should clarify that a bit more. This is in the pages that show all the Cyclones for the season, and not the individual Cyclone pages (since I know it is possible in those ones). Metamorphazone 07:39, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

I am contacting individuals in the order of the number of featured lists that they had created by Novemeber 10, 2007. You are among those who have created the most. So you are among the first. There have been a series of proposals to initiate a Featured List of the Day on the main page. Numerous proposals have been put forth. After the third one failed, I audited all WP:FL's in order to begin an experiment in my own user space that will hopefully get it going. Today, it commences at WP:LOTD. Afterwards I created my experimental page, a new proposal was set forth to do a featured list that is strikingly similar to my own which is to do a user page experimental featured list, but no format has been confirmed and mechanism set in place. I continue to be willing to do the experiment myself and with this posting it commences. Please submit any list that you would like to have considered for list of the day in the month of January 2008 by the end of this month to WP:LOTD and its subpages. You may submit multiple lists for consideration.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:LOTD) 16:54, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

If you ever get a chance, would you like to rework some of the lede for the 1988 AHS article? I just find that really hard to write because I prefer to work on the individual sections.

Hi, I've been sprucing up the triple crown awards. Here's the new version of the imperial triple crown jewels you've already earned. Feel free to replace your old one with this if you like the new version better. I've also introduced two new triple crown awards for editors who've done a lot of triple crown work: the Napoleonic and Alexander the Great edition awards. If you're active in a WikiProject, check out the new offer for custom WikiProject triple crowns. I'll make those upon request if five or more editors qualify. See User:Durova/Triple crown winner's circle for more information. Thanks for your hard work, and cheers! Durova Charge! 22:12, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

I've been asked this by a couple people, and I figured I'd ask you since you added it, but do you know where the name "Gorky" came from? The link is dead and none of the other links I've found mention where the name came from at all. I'm actually not sure if we should include it as systems in the basin weren't officially named at the time. -- Core desat 17:18, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the complement. I still have to add more things, like month intensities for cPac, extremes of latitude/longitude etc, unusual landfalls, etc.
I based the headings on List of Atlantic hurricanes. List of Atlantic hurricane records redirects to that page, so any consensus for the Pacific list should probably be applied to that one too.
Pacific hurricane records is more or less a subset of notable Pacific hurricanes. For example, the deadliest Pacific hurricane would appear in both pages: list of Pacific hurricane records because it is the deadliest, and list of Pacific hurricanes because it killed more than the inclusion cutoff (100 deaths). Basically, it doesn't really matter whether you were killed by Hurricane Pauline or Hurricane Ismael; you're dead either way. Similar for other records.
On the other hand, a list of Pacific hurricane records could have detailed stats like the rainiest/deadliest/most intense/etc. Pacific tropical cyclone in (X meaning Mexican states, countries, Hawaiian Islands etc).
As for including "notable" in the name, while I do agree that notable is subjective, it isn't mis-titled like it is now. The current title implies that every Pacific hurricane that ever existed and is known was listed, sort of like list of named tropical cyclones, but ePac/cPac only and including unnamed ones.

Would you consider doing some work towards winter storm articles? I am amazed at how good your work on hurricane articles, and some of the winter storm articles such as December 2007 North American ice storm are in need of major work, and you would be able to make them better.

Read the text on this page, particularly the last point... and also keep an eye on the page, ok? Titoxd( ?!? - cool stuff) 06:43, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
First: please accept my regrets for the inadevertent vandalism to your user page -- just a mistake. Sorry. Won't happen again.
Would you consider making a contribution to an exchange of views at either of the following:
As you may know, Wikipedia:WikiProject Disaster management came up with entirely reasonable guidelines for naming articles about earthquakes, fires, typhoons, etc. However, the <<year>><<place> <<event>> format leaves no opportunity for conventional nengō which have been used in Japan since the eighth century (701-1945) -- as in "the Great Fire of Meireki" (1657) or for "the Hōei eruption of Mount Fuji" (1707).
In a purely intellectual sense, I do look forward to discovering how this exchange of views will develop; but I also have an ulterior motive. I hope to learn something about how better to argue in favor of a non-standard exception to conventional, consensus-driven, and ordinarily helpful wiki-standards such as this one. In my view, there does need to be some modest variation in the conventional paradigms for historical terms which have evolved in non-Western cultures -- no less in Wikipedia than elsewhere. I'm persuaded that, at least in the context of Japanese history before the reign of Emperor Meiji (1868-1912), some non-standard variations seem essential; but I'm not sure how best to present my reasoning to those who don't already agree with me. I know these first steps are inevitably awkward; but there you have it.
The newly-created 1703 Genroku earthquake article pushed just the right buttons for me. Obviously, these are questions that I'd been pondering for some time; and this became a convenient opportunity to move forward in a process of building a new kind of evolving consensus. -- Ooperhoofd ( talk) 18:28, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
I saw that you plan to make List of North Carolina hurricanes a series, similar to Florida hurricanes.

I am actually, I just haven't found the time to until recently and I also have been busy maintaining a couple of the desert-related articles that are consistently vandalized and without much help from others. Part of the problem with helping out with WTCP is the fact that I am unsure of what "needs" to get done as opposed to non-priorities (since there is so much). If you could show me what is needed to get done or where exactly I can find it, I can try to help out as soon as I have the free time (which is likely quite a bit in between semesters. Thanks.

The Western Pacific has always kept itself a league above everyone else. 2005 was the biggest slap in the face WPac had ever had (and still is). If that basin does not get a Category 5 hurricane within the next 5 days, the Atlantic (which has the shortest season of any of the World's basins) will have issued another. STY Sepat is the WPac's lone Category 5 this year. This would mark just the sixth time in the past 60 years that the Atlantic has had more Cat 5's than the Pacific ('47,'50,'60,'77,and '05 being the others) and just the third time the Atlantic had to do it with more than one storm ('60 and '05 and 1960 is questionable). The Atlantic has tied on five other occations ( six IMO): '51,'69,'80,'88, and '98. 1969 came within 2 storms of stealing 2005's thunder as its 18 storms fell just short of WPac's 19. 2005 matched the rest of the World's Category 5's in just four months. Hurricane Anita remains the only Atlantic Cat 5 to stand alone as it was the only storm to reach that intensity in 1977. -- § Hurricane E RIC archive 23:19, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

There's a better than even chance they'll be adding the system in as an unnamed ST after the fact...found that out yesterday. Its central pressure was at least 1004 hPa as of last night. It would be a shame for them not to recognize this system, when Andrea, Barry, and Jerry were recognized as sub/tropical cyclones with significantly worse satellite signatures. The IR temps of the thunderstorms northeast/east of the center of this cyclone dropped down to -70C, and the system was non-frontal, for 2-3 days. Thegreatdr ( talk) 19:40, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
