Welcome!
Hey there. Welcome to the project. I see you have some interest in some southern hemisphere storms, which is great! There are plenty of storms down there that need help. I write all over the world, but recently have been focusing on both the Atlantic and the southwest Indian Ocean. If you need any help, feel free to give me a shout. I've been on here for too long (8 years in August) and am glad to be of any assistance. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:44, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, have you considered writing articles, by chance? You seem interested in the Southern Hemisphere, and there are plenty of articles down there that need help. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:39, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No, but I can write some articles. Which seasons need help? HurricaneAndrew (444) 23:50, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Plenty of them do. Mostly, they need summaries written for each storms. 1991–92 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season - this, for example, doesn't have any info on any storms, despite there being a report available. I could give you some pointers in how to write the sections, if you want, or you could look around and see how it's done. Lemme know if you're interested. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:58, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
So I gave you a season there. Mostly what you have to do is write, in your own words, a summary for each storm in the season. Would that interest you? --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:47, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Could you please explain this edit. It seem you copied a couple sentences from higher up in the section and pasted them at the bottom, which is not very helpful. Those sentences had to be removed as they were redundant and disrupted the flow of the paragraph. Please refrain from doing this in the future. Thanks, United States Man (talk) 18:21, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, are you still working on 1999 PTS? The GAN has been up for a month. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:32, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
See the warning and the track file. If you see the storm's intensity updated before a warning is issued, it is probably because the speeds are determined earlier in the track file.--Jasper Deng(talk) 02:16, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Hurricane Herald is the arbitrarily periodical newsletter of
mailing list. This issue of The Hurricane Herald covers all project related events from April 14–May 31, 2019. This edition's editor and author is Hurricane Noah (talk·contribs
).
Please visit this page and bookmark any suggestions of interest to you. This will help improve the newsletter and other cyclone-related articles. Past editions can be viewed here.
Clement Wragge, who named tropical cyclones and anticyclones between 1887 and 1907. This system of naming fell into disuse for several years after Wragge retired, until it was revived in the latter part of World War II for the Western Pacific basin. Over the following decades, various naming schemes have been introduced for the world's oceans, including for parts of the Atlantic, Pacific and the Indian Ocean. The majority of these lists are compiled by the World Meteorological Organization
's tropical cyclone committee for the region and include names from different cultures as well as languages. Over the years there has been controversy over the names used at various times, with names being dropped for religious and political reasons. For example, female names were exclusively used in the basins at various times between 1945 - 2000 and were the subject of several protests. The names of significant tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean and Australian region are retired from the naming lists and replaced with another name, at meetings of the various tropical cyclone committees.
Storm of the month and other tropical activity
landfall in Odisha, India on May 3. The storm achieved peak intensity as a near Category 5-equivalent cyclone with 3-minute sustained winds of 215 km/h (130 mph), 1-minute sustained winds of 250 km/h (155 mph), and a minimum central pressure of 937 hPa (mbar). Fani caused over $1.8 billion (2019 USD) in damage in India and Bangladesh
and killed at least 89 people.
Since the last newsletter, twelve systems have formed.
Southwest Indian Ocean
In the Southwest Indian Ocean, Cyclone Kenneth made landfall in Mozambique approximately 1 month after Cyclone Idai, causing widespread flooding and destruction. Overall, Kenneth killed at least 52 people and caused more than $100 million in damage. Additionally, Tropical Cyclone Lorna formed over the eastern portion of the basin in late April and dissipated in early May without affecting land.
Australian Region
In the Australian Region, cyclones Lili and Ann formed in early May and both affected land. No deaths were reported, although Lili caused moderate damage in the Maluku Islands and East Timor.
South Pacific
In the South Pacific, a tropical depression formed in mid-may, but failed to intensify and dissipated a few days later.
South Atlantic
In the South Atlantic, Subtropical Storm Jaguar formed in late May and lasted for approximately two days before becoming extratropical.
Western Pacific
In the Western Pacific, three weak tropical depressions existed during the first half of May.
North Atlantic
In the North Atlantic, Subtropical Storm Andrea formed on the same day as Jaguar, but failed to intensify and dissipated on the next day.
The Eastern Pacific hurricane season began on May 15.
The Atlantic hurricane season will begin at 2:00 AM EDT on June 1.
The Central Pacific hurricane season will begin sometime after 12:00 AM HST on June 1.

More information can be found here. This list lists members who have joined/rejoined the WikiProject since the release of the last issue in April 2019. Sorted chronologically. Struckout users denote users who have left or have been banned.
To our new members: welcome to the project, and happy editing! Feel free to check the to-do list at the bottom right of the newsletter for things that you might want to work on. To our veteran members: thank you for your edits and your tireless contributions!
Every year, editors new and old help maintain the new season of season articles. The older users are likely used to the standards of the project, such as how to Wikilink and reference properly. Newer users might make mistakes, and they might make them over and over again if they don't know better. If anyone (who happens to read this) comes across a new user, please don't
bite, because with enough pushback, they'll decide that this group of editors is too mean, and unfun. This is all a volunteer project; no one can force anyone to do anything. We're all on here because of our love of knowledge and tropical cyclones. If you find someone new, consider using the official WPTC welcome template - Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical cyclones/Welcome
.
I also encourage that if you know any tropical cyclone researchers, please speak up and try recruiting them to edit. Veteran editors can't keep editing forever. Life gets busy, and the real world beckons!
Yellow Evan has been involved with WPTC since 2008. Since the last newsletter, Yellow Evan has taken 5 typhoon articles to good article status as well as created 2 more. Overall, he has created and/or significantly contributed to more than 130 good articles. Your work in the Western Pacific Basin is invaluable... Thank you for your contributions!
Latest WikiProject Alerts

As of this news letter, there are more articles ranked a
good article
or better (1317) than articles ranked B-class or worse (1272), for the first time in the project's history.
Every Atlantic hurricane season from 1945 to 2007 is rated at least a GA. That is an impressive feat, and an incredibly body of work among many editors.

in the project. Thanks to all of the editors and their tireless edits for writing 2.7% of all of Wikipedia's featured articles.
In the 24 hours after Hurricane Michael's TCR was released, the article on the hurricane was edited 82 times by 18 different users.
In March 2019, the most popular article in the project was Cyclone Idai, viewed 231,969 times during the month. The generic cyclone was 2nd most popular, with 131,080 views. In 3rd place was Hurricane Katrina with 112,283 views. Included in the top 20 were the 2018 and 19 Atlantic hurricane seasons, hurricanes Michael, Florence, Irma, Maria, and Harvey, and the 1896 Cedar Keys hurricane, which was TFA on March 20th.
List of Eastern Pacific tropical storms (2000–present)
Tropical cyclones by year - from 2000 to present, there were 2,490 tropical cyclones of various intensity, causing a collective $1 trillion in damage and 200,000 deaths
Assessments valid as of this printing. Depending on when you may be viewing this newsletter, the table may be outdated. See here for the latest, most up to date statistics. As of this issue, there are 150
good articles
, meaning it is possible we get to our 1000th GA by the end of the year. There are only 61 B-class articles, perhaps because because most articles of that quality already passed a GA review. There are 350 C-class articles, 720 start-class articles, and 141 stub-class articles, with 29 lists and 8 current articles. The number of lists may decrease further as the "Tropical cyclone X" articles continue to be reclassified as set index articles. These figures mean that nearly half of the project is rated a GA or better - including the lists/current/future articles, there are 1272 articles that are below GA status, versus 1317 that are GA or better.

Project Goals & Progress
The following is the current progress on the three milestone goals set by the WikiProject as of this publishing. They can be found, updated, at the main WikiProject page.
Regarding your request to have a free copy of all of Buttigieg's books, I have two comments.
The first is that
the English Wikipedia's resource exchange
is probably the best place to request published things that you don't have access to. But requesting full copies of entire books is probably prohibited by copyright, so I'm not sure asking for entire books is reasonable. In any event, that is a better place than the GAN queue page.
The second is
primary source guidance. Urve (talk) 01:14, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply
]
Hi, Urve. It has been eight years since I have gone through the GAN process, so I do appreciate your comments:
A.) I was not aware of the resource request page. However, after reading that page, it appears that my request for full books would be inappropriate even there.
B.) My rationale for asking for Buttigieg's books (namely his memoir) was to fill in information gaps that I had been encountering online, especially towards the beginning of his political career. After reading WP:NOR, I see how my plan basically would have been synthesizing information from primary sources.
Thanks for taking this in the spirit it was intended - just a friendly note. I hope the nomination goes well for you. Urve (talk) 06:00, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey. I just wanted to ask you that aren't concerned about sharing your name in Wikipedia userpage?
Footy2000 (talk) 16:13, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Footy2000. I use a pseudonym when editing Wikipedia. The name you see on my userpage was made up. However, thank you for your concern. HurricaneAndrew (444) 16:48, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Pete Buttigieg for issues which need to be addressed. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Jaguar -- Jaguar (talk) 20:00, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply
The article Pete Buttigieg you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Pete Buttigieg for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Jaguar -- Jaguar (talk) 21:41, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I guess this is an error made by the bot (since the article initially failed its first GAN). The article has passed its GA nomination! Congrats, and thanks! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 08:03, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) at your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Almost good to go! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 09:40, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply

DYK for Pete Buttigieg
On 27 October 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Pete Buttigieg, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that United States Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg(pictured) wrote an essay in 2000 on Bernie Sanders, his future competitor in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Pete Buttigieg. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Pete Buttigieg), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Appreciation for the Queen Elizabeth RM
I know its late but I just read your requested move proposal for British monarchs, and I came away incredibly impressed by the thought and effort laid out in you proposal. It was clearly well researched and presented as factually as possible, both in the bits that supported your position and counterfactuals. I saw a couple requests to trout you, and felt it appropriate to let you know that even though it wasn't successful it was absolutely worthwhile and germane. Thank you. --50.234.188.27 (talk) 13:28, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, and thank you very much for your comment. I greatly appreciate your consideration of the substance of and time needed to draft my argument for that requested move. HurricaneAndrew (444) 00:32, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am not sure if this is where I am supposed to write my reply to your message. However, thank you for the trout and appreciation for my efforts on Wikipedia. Regarding the Tropical cyclones in 2023 article, I admittedly have not viewed that page. However, the content is certainly within my realm of interest. HurricaneAndrew (444) 23:26, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You're welcome! What I meant in my message is that you should respond to some of our messages at that RfC and maybe add a condensed version of that response if you want. Aaron Liu (talk) 23:35, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Blowing winds
I admire your energy, but I suspect the result at the current RFC will likely be options 1 or 2. At the very least, option 4 will never pass. The tide has (increasingly) turned against the Monarch # of country title style. GoodDay (talk) 20:15, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your message, GoodDay. Yes, I suspected that option 4 was going to be discarded fairly quickly. Hence, I was open to Option 1 and Option 3 as well (and it seems we both personally are open to Option 1 being implemented). I still have concerns about Option 2 that I will express on the main RfC page. HurricaneAndrew (444) 21:25, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your message and appreciation of my work, Thinker78. Admittedly, the table template was not my creation. However, I still believe that it was important for all of the RfC participants to see how the relevant articles were titled in practice versus what the suggested guidelines say. Also, I am impressed by the details of your own article size analysis page! HurricaneAndrew (444) 01:03, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
We didn't agree, but you put a lot of work into the RfC and I applaud your energy. Others have mentioned this in one context or another, but Shakespeare was right that brevity is the soul of wit and you should try to say what you have to say in the fewest words possible. Just a suggestion. Wehwalt (talk) 00:00, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I found your user name very confusing
Hi, I was trying to make sense of the recent RfC, and I found it very confusing, because there was a Hurricane Andrew poster, and also a poster named AndrewPeterT. It only dawned on me right at the end that they were the same poster. May I please suggest you pick one user name and use it for all purposes? Just a thought. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 21:24, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Mr. Serjeant Buzfuz. Thank you for your well-intentioned feedback. My signature dates from many years ago and was based on a username I had on another website. However, I agree that my former signature was potentially confusing to other users. I have changed my signature to more explicitly reflect my username. AndrewPeterT (talk) (contribs) 23:22, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I strongly agree with @Surtsicna. Simply because you haven't commented in an RM doesn't mean you're not involved. I will also point out that @Tim O'Doherty has already reverted the closure. estar8806 (talk) ★ 22:04, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Estar8806 Thank you for the update. I have already apologized to Surtsicna about my behavior on their talk page. However, I greatly appreciate your well-intentioned clarification about RM involvement. I have also appreciated your participation in previous RMs I initiated, and I hope that we can productively collaborate again in the future. HurricaneAndrew (444) 23:17, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I was going to chip in about the closure, but it's all been sorted so there's no need. What I will say is that we've all made mistakes on Wikipedia, but the beauty of the project is that they can always be corrected. From what I can see you're a well-intentioned editor, and as long as you've learned from the experience there's really no harm done. All the best, A.D.Hope (talk) 23:30, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What's done is done. Wikipedia is a learning experience so learn from it. Wehwalt (talk) 00:01, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much for your kind words, A.D.Hope and Wehwalt. Yes, there is a lot I have learned from this recent experience. I hope to collaborate with both of you in some way in the future. AndrewPeterT (talk) (contribs) 00:06, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics
You have recently edited a page related to the English Wikipedia
contentious
. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the
The case request Persistent WP:IDONTLIKEIT behavior in WP:NCROY discussions, which you filed, has been declined by the committee. You can find an archived version of the case request here. For the Arbitration Committee, Dreamy Jazztalk to me | my contributions 18:32, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
