[edit] Importance

Seeing as without tropical cyclogenesis, there would be no tropical cyclones, I have raised this article to top-class. --Coredesat talk! 05:20, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

True, but there are other things that you wouldn't have tropical cyclones without - Coriolis force, thunderstorms, etc. CrazyC83 01:31, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
I'll give you that, but this article discusses the process of tropical cyclone formation. Without the process, there would be no tropical cyclones. The Coriolis force and thunderstorms are just factors in tropical cyclone formation. --Coredesat 02:27, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Significant update

The references have been changed to be more descriptive. External links have been added at the bottom, which relate to the text. Several images have been added. The page has been reorganized. Thegreatdr 18:09, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Meter or metre?

I noticed that the spelling of meter was changed in this article. Is metre less POV than meter? Which is used more internationally? If metre is used more often, many TC-related articles need to have this spelling changed to the British spelling. Thegreatdr 18:39, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

It really doesn't matter as long as you're consistent. Spelling a word a certain way isn't really POV, since everyone knows there are alternate spellings. --Coredesat (talk) 01:28, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Ok. Just trying avoid a WP:LAME type of problem which comes up on web pages from time to time. Thegreatdr 15:00, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Actually, since you're the one who started the article, you get to pick, per the Wikipedia Manual of Style. Titoxd(?!?) 03:21, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Included global stats

Per comments made to the extratropical cyclone article, I realized that the global TS/HU/IH stats were not listed anywhere in this article. Now they are. Thegreatdr 23:18, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
