A couple of things. If you intend to nominate this article for deletion, it should be through WP:Articles for deletion not WP:Miscellany for deletion. An understandable mistake, though you should have read the instructions more clearly.
More importantly, I'd like to urge you to reconsider listing it at all. The 1946–47 Toronto Huskies season was not only the first season of this professional basketball team, it also featured the first ever National Basketball Association game, anywhere. DoubleBlue ( Talk) 01:47, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
WP:POINT is not a good path to go down. DoubleBlue ( Talk) 02:14, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
In the past, the indirect effects of tropical cyclones weren't used to rate the importance of storm articles. Look at Hurricane Stan. It's retired, it caused as many as 2,000 fatalities and over $1.1 billion damage, but the project decided it was Mid-importance because most of that occurred from the non-tropical part of the system. Under the same criteria, Stan's effects dwarf Tico's, and they don't belong in the same category. Potapych ( talk) 15:28, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
- You need to resist the temptation to rate everything higher because you contributed to it. It's just a fact that most storm articles are going to fall into the Low category. The Mid-importance category is populated by articles on storms that are far more significant. Potapych ( talk) 15:24, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
Sorry I made them all normal sections and by the way, when making a section with line fully across, put 2 = signs.-- Kirk76 1854 Atlantic Hurricane Season 19:36, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
- This page is also extremely long. An archive is desperately needed, a good cut-off point would be the beginning of the month. You should archive everything through November 1 to make this page easier to handle for those with slower computers. The page (as of the edit before this one) is 154,336 bytes in size. That puts this talk page as the 207th (in theory since talk pages aren't included) largest article on the entire english site. Please read Help:Archiving a talk page and archive your talk page as soon as you can. Thanks. Cyclonebiskit ( talk) 19:43, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
Just a note about rating articles, when doing so, only rate articles in which you are not the main contributer, i.e. for Hurricane Boris (2008), you shouldn't have given it C-class yourself since you are the main contributer. However, I do not disagree on the rating so it will stay C unless other users determine it is not of C-class quality. Cyclonebiskit ( talk) 22:19, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
Sorry for the late response - I've been avoiding Wikipedia the last week. No, I don't see any need to try and get Ekeka featured. There really isn't that much information on the storm, and personally I'm completely content in it being a GA. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk) 06:47, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

You're not going to finish any other projects first? Are you actually serious about working on it, or are you just saying you will be working on it to feel like you are doing more work than you actually are? From what I've seen, all you've done is expand a few paragraphs slightly, but only to a level that doesn't significantly improve the article.
I'll be blunt. You're creating a bit of mess with some of your articles. I think what would be best for you would be to list every project you are working on, maybe on your user page (and in a fancy table). Also be sure to include every article you created in the past that was not fixed by another person. Personally, I think you should focus on the existing articles you've touched (say, getting them up to GA), and if you feel you're ready (or, you could ask your admin coach if he thinks you are ready) then you can continue to a new project. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk) 15:46, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
- I moved the article for you. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk) 16:35, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
- I think you should fix up all of the articles you have created that were never fixed up by another person. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk) 17:26, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
- If you are truly serious about doing 1992 PHS, then you should ask your admin coach for assistance, as season articles are a huge task. It's doable, but it's a very large task. Finishing up Dora would be good. More information is probably needed, so be sure to do a good Google search in English and, if possible, do another in Spanish; there is bound to be plenty of Spanish info on the storm, but probably not as much English. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk) 17:41, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
- Do not use the weather.com one for Dora. There are surely more sources than the ones you found. The first one has a lot of good links, but that's just the start. When you're researching an article, you need to comb through the internet. Not just through a simple Google search, but use some different terms. I have something really important to say, and I hope you read it and understand it.

I don't think you get it. You are expected to make great edits, and you are not.

The problem is that you are being disruptive. Your talk page edits are disruptive, particularly evidenced through your edits on Norbert. You reverted Juliancolton's edit and called it vandalism. That itself is vandalism. And no, I left the symbol that un-indents the discussion. I'll repeat. If you are being disruptive to the project, than no, Wikipedia is not the best for you. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk) 05:08, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
I have some more advice for you. When you are on break, do not edit at all until your break is over. It doesn't count saying "back to break", especially when your edit was unneeded. There's no need to respond to this. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk) 20:32, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
You are being disruptive again. There was no need to bring the article discussion back up, and you left an inappropriate template on the WPTC talk page. Furthermore, you changed the noticeboard to add the article discussion, when it had already been reverted before. If you are being disruptive to the project, than no, Wikipedia is not the best for you. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk) 19:00, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Hurricane Boris (2008) you nominated as a

Yellow Evan, when you leave a post on a talk page, you need to make sure it is legible, with as few typos as possible. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk) 19:02, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
- Firstly, try to keep all discussion on the GA1 page. This helps other editors read the comments and suggestions made for the page. Secondly, I think you are trying to say that you thought my comment about meteorology words was unfair. I'm not saying don't use any meteorology terms, as that would be unfair, just words that aren't necessarily technical such as the low, conductive, intensification, remnant. I almost looks like someone had a thesaurus and wanted to simply make the article sound fancy. Sure, some of these lexemes could not be substituted, but maintaining viewer interest is paramount. Have a read of Hurricane Isis (1998), a Featured Article. it does get technical, but nothing beyond the realms of the standard lexicon. Keep in mind, another user has suggested that I simply fail the GA - I still think this article has a chance.

Yes, we have agreed on that for a while, but I think you're missing the point. Every storm can have an article only if the article is reasonably well-written, and contains sufficient information and referencing. – Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 20:32, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi there Yellow. I was just wondering whether you had thought about archiving some of the old discussions on this page as it is getting quite big now and it will be much easier for you to manage if you moved some of the old stuff elsewhere? Kind regards, Nancy talk 21:34, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
- Hello again. Well your talk page is now even bigger than before so I have taken the liberty of setting up some automatic archiving for you. I have also added an archive box at the top of this page so that you have a handy quick link to your old discussions. I'll archive the first lot manually but from now on a bot should be along each afternoon to archive threads which have had no activity for seven days. This way your talk page should remain a manageable size. Kind regards, Nancy talk 13:52, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

I have no idea what you asked me on my talk page. There are still plenty of start class EPAC articles. However, what might be more helpful is working on season articles. I don't mean 1992 PHS (which might be out of your league due to its importance). However, what about writing a summary for each storm of the 1980 Pacific hurricane season? It is currently a stub, and it would be pretty easy to get to Start or C class. You just need to use the Best Track and the Seasonal Summary. Or, if you don't like that season, there is 1981, 1983, or 1984 that are also stubs. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk) 18:12, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Storm of the month
Hurricane Paloma
Hurricane Paloma was the second most powerful November hurricane on record in the Atlantic Basin, behind
Hurricane Lenny in 1999. It was the third and final major hurricane to hit Cuba in 2008, being the first time that three major hurricanes have struck Cuba in one season. It also marked the first time that at least one major hurricane formed in every month of the hurricane season from July to November, with only June not having a major hurricane this season.
Hurricane Paloma was also the last Tropical Depression of the 2008 season, and caused at least $1.4 billion in damage and was responsible for at least one direct death.
Other tropical cyclone activity
- Eastern Pacific Ocean– Tropical Storm Polo was the only Tropical Storm to form during November and December.
- Western Pacific Ocean – There were five tropical depressions during the last two months of the 2008 Pacific typhoon season. Though only four of them developed into Tropical storms with only Dolphin becoming a Typhoon.
- North Indian– There were three Tropical Depressions during the last two months of the 2008 North Indian Ocean cyclone season, however there were only two that officially became Tropical Storms being named Khai-Muk and Nisha.
- South Indian– Cyclone Bernard was the first cyclone of the year to move into the Australian Region from the Southwest Indian Ocean. Forming on early on November 19 it quickly intensified into a Moderate Tropical Storm the next day, however as it moved westward it weakened into a Tropical Depression and moved into Australia's Bureau of Meteorology's area of responsibility and dissipated later on November 21.
- Australian - There were four tropical lows during November and December with Tropical Low ex Bernard moving into the Australian Region from the South-West Indian Ocean. Two of the Lows developed into Tropical Cyclones being named Anika and Billy respectively. Anika intensified into a category two cyclone whilst Cyclone Billy became a Severe Tropical Cyclone after it had affected Northern Australia.
- The 2008–09 South Pacific cyclone season got off to an slow start during November and December, with three Tropical Disturbances forming during December. Only one of the tropical disturbances developed into a tropical depression.

Project News
During the last two months there have been several important discussions of which some are still seeking contributions from members. These include discussions about:
- Project Importance - Is it better to rate Storm Importance by basin or by overall importance? - There seems to be a consensus to rate storm importance on a case by case basis, though there still needs to be a bit more discussion on this matter.
- Prominent units within TC articles: Imperial or SI? - Which should be the prominent unit outside the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific Basins, Knots or MPH? Generally people think that Knots should not be used except in the general science articles and infoboxes.
- ACE - Where and how, should it be used? - We have decided that it should not be used outside the Atlantic or the Eastern Pacific hurricane Seasons. A debate is still ongoing with a view too get rid of it all together.
- JMA Tropical Depressions Should we include them with the season articles or not? - The general consensus so far seems to be that we should include them in the season articles though this debate is still ongoing.
We discovered during December that the Australian Bureau of Meteorology have started to designate the Tropical Lows that form within their region with letter U. It is unclear whether either TCWC Jakarta or TCWC Port Moresby assign any designations to lows that form within their Area of Responsibility.

Either you can take the time to do research and make the writing at least somewhat decent (like the rest of us do), or you can expect your articles will be merged. --♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk) 01:26, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Storm of the month
Cyclone Fanele was the first
cyclone of
tropical cyclone status to strike western
Madagascar since Cyclone Fame one year prior. It formed on January 18 in the
Mozambique Channel, and
rapidly organized, reaching peak winds of 185
km/h (115
mph). It weakened before moving ashore in
Menabe Region southwest of
Morondava, and rapidly deteriorated over land. Fanele briefly re-intensified after reaching open waters, only to become an
extratropical cyclone by January 23. The cyclone caused heavy damage near where it moved ashore and along its path, resulting in at least eight deaths. Fanele struck Madagascar just two days after
Tropical Storm Eric brushed the northeastern portion of the country. The two storms affected over 50,000 people, of which at least 4,000 were left homeless. Fanele struck the country during a series of
government protests, and consequentially relief efforts were hindered.
Other tropical cyclone activity
- Western Pacific Ocean– The first tropical cyclone of the season was Tropical Depression Auring, as designated by PAGASA. It formed on January 3 to the east of the Philippines, producing heavy rainfall and flooding on Mindanao island. Never organizing much, the depression dissipated a few days after forming, causing one death and destroying 305 houses. The next month, Tropical Depression Bising formed near Palau and, moving westward, later passed through the Philippines as a remnant low; rainfall from the system produced mudslides, though no major damage was reported.
- South-West Indian– Tropical Storm Dongo was the first storm of January in the basin, and it remained over open waters without affecting landmasses throughout its duration. In the middle of the month along with Cyclone Fanele, Tropical Storm Eric developed and moved near Madagascar, killing one and producing heavy rainfall in the northeastern portion of the country. Later, Cyclone Gael killed two people on Réunion while tracking for ten days east of Madagascar; at the time it was the 2nd strongest cyclone of the season. Lastly, Tropical Storm Hina persisted for about five days, nearly reaching tropical cyclone status before weakening.
- Australia- During the previous two months their have been nine Tropical Lows with four of them becoming a Tropical Cyclone whilst the remants of Cyclone Innis briefly moved into the Australian Region from the South Pacific. Cyclones Charlotte, Dominic, Ellie, and Freddy all caused damage to Australia and or the Indonesia Islands.
- South Pacific- During the last two months the south Pacific has come alive with six depressions forming in January and February. The most significant depression was Tropical Depression 04F which brought heavy rainfall to Fiji and caused widespread flooding and killing at least 11 people. The first two named storms, Hettie and Innis also developed, each having minor effects on land.
Member of the month
The member of the month is... HurricaneSpin HurricaneSpin is a relativly new member of the project who has helped the project out by finding photos of Tropical Cyclones and uploading them to Commons. He is still getting to grips with the project but is coming on in leaps and bounds thus we have decided to make him the Member of the Month, for January and February 2009.

Project News
The project reached a milestone in the last two months in terms of article quality for all articles within the project. For the first time, the percentage of
Good articles or better reached more than 1/3, and at the same time, the percentage of Start or Stub articles totaled less than 50%. In the previous twelve months, the overall project grew by 262 articles, of which 204, or 78%, were GA or better. Additionally, in terms of only storm articles, the project now has 46.6% of its articles as GA or better, and only 1/3 are Start or Stub. Unfortunately, much of that is due to newly-created articles easily attaining GA status. For storm articles, the total number of Start or Stub articles, currently 226, is about the same as it was a year ago. The lack of work on older articles is especially noticeable on season articles, where more than 75% of articles are still Stub or Start.
In an attempt to improve articles, there is talk of forming a collaboration between a few Wikipedians. The current project is to improve Hurricane Camille to FA status in time for its 40th anniversary this August. There is still plenty of work to be done, so if you're interested, any help would be appreciated.
Additionally, there is a recent discussion on the WPTC talk page about establishing a notability criteria. There was talk in the past of instating one, although this time the proposal is backed up by interpretations of existing Wikipedia policy. The proposal would limit articles to tropical cyclones that have at least one independent, reliable source other than any warning centers. Excluding cross-basin, off-season, or 64+ knot cyclones, the proposal would affect 26 articles, none of which affected land or lasted for an appreciable amount of time.

Number 25, April 4 The Hurricane Herald This is the monthly newsletter of WikiProject Tropical Cyclones. The Hurricane Herald aims to provide a summary of both the activities of the WikiProject and global tropical cyclones. If you wish to change how you receive this newsletter, or no longer wish to receive it, please add your username to the appropriate section on the mailing list. This newsletter covers March 2009. Please visit this page and bookmark any suggestions of interest to you. This will help improve monitoring of the WikiProject's articles.  Storm of the month Hamish indirectly caused a major environmental disaster along the Queensland coastline, when strong waves from the cyclone damaged the hull of a cargo ship, spilling 260 tonnes of fuel and oil into the ocean. The oil washed onto the coastline, endangering the environment prompting a costly cleanup. Offshore, the fishermen went missing after the boat was lost; one person was found, although the other two remained missing and were presumed dead. As the storm remained offshore, overall damage directly from the storm was minor, primarily from strong waves. Other tropical cyclone activity

Project News As part of the above discussion, there is a request for all active members to sign a list to affirm they are still active members in the project. If you don't sign the list, or if you don't consider yourself active anymore, your name will be placed on the inactive members list on May 1st. Hurricanehink has organised a challenge to try and improve some of the Tropical cyclone articles. The rules are that you must take either an seasonal or a storm article from one of the eight basins we have, that is either a Stub, Start class or a brand new article and improve it to at least GA status. However to avoid several articles on cyclones that did not affect land, Hurricanehink has limited the challenge to storms/seasonal articles of Mid-importance or higher. Their is an exception to this rule for the Central Pacific as Cyclones rarely form in this basin. - For full details of the challenge see the Project's Talkpage Project member list |

I wish to let the FAR continue its course, as there is just as much drama if the storms do get articles. JC is annoyed by most things I do (JC, if you're reading,
), and I think the FAR would be the best way to get some outside opinions than the people in the hurricane project. --♬♩

Your GAC 1971–72 NBA season failed
Hello Yellow Evan, I quick-failed your nomination at WP:GAC due to lack of references.-- Crzy cheetah 05:52, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, I did notice the note. It doesn't change the fact that there are no reliable sources on that page. You only listed the main page of nba.com and the basketball-reference.com. There should be links to the pages where the info is actually mentioned. Right now, you were basically just saying that the readers need to do the research themselves if they want to verify any info on that page. You are always welcome to re-nominate again, of course, but it's highly unlikely that the result will change unless there are more precise references.-- Crzy cheetah 16:37, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Hello, Shappy. This is a reminder that Amazing Race Wikipedia will start very soon. At 00.00 (or whereabouts), our host Firestorm will place the first Detour on your submissions page. Again, the Detour is a choice between two tasks; both members of the team choose one task and work together to complete it. A Roadblock is a task only one team member must perform; he/she may not have any help from the other team member.

In recent months, the project has become increasingly inactive; with only a few active participants, we need your help for the upcoming hurricane season! Feel free to contact Hurricanehink ( talk · contribs), Juliancolton ( talk · contribs), Jason Rees ( talk · contribs), or Cyclonebiskit ( talk · contribs) for more information. Thanks! Storm of the month  Tropical Storm Linfa formed out of an area of low pressure on June 14, the storm briefly attained tropical depression status before degenerating. By June 17 the system regenerated in the South China Sea. Slowly tracking northward, the storm intensified, attaining severe tropical storm status on June 19 and peaking in intensity the following day. On June 21, Linfa made landfall in Fujian Province, China as a tropical storm before weakening to a tropical depression. In Taiwan, outer bands of the storm produced significant amounts of rain over southeastern areas of the island. Along the western coast, rip currents resulted in the drowning of one person. Six hikers also were reported to be missing. In China, torrential rains triggered flooding that destroyed 100 homes, killed one person and left six others missing. In all, seven people were killed by Linfa, with another 12 missing, damages in mainland China were estimated at ¥655 million (US$95.8 million) and agricultural losses in Taiwan reached NT$400 million (US$12.1 million).
