[edit] Deep Depression BOB 04 (2007)Unless you are going to expand Deep Depression BOB 04 (2007), it doesn't need to exist as it is just copied from 2007 North Indian Ocean cyclone season. If you are going to expand it, make sure you cite sources. If you are going to expand the article, try to follow the format on this article. If you just plan on leaving the article like it is now, it will be deleted. Cheers. ---CWY2190TC 20:34, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
As CWY said above, the article as it stands is just a copy and paste. I have removed the link from the main article for now. Once you've improved it, feel free to put it back in. -- RattleMan 23:18, 21 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] Howdy!Hey there. Seeing as it looks like you're going to be sticking around for a while, I'd like for you to get to know the rest of the hurricane editors. We're really a nice bunch, and I can tell that you will fit in with us in the future. However, we'd love to train you in your Wikipedia skills, and how to learn the know-how. We have our own IRC channel, which is basically a chat room, but specifically for members of the Tropical cyclone Wikiproject. When you're available, we really want you to come talk to us, so we can show you some pointers, as well as get to know you as an editor. You just have to click here. In the second row (server), click on that and scroll down to freenode.net. Then, type in your Wikipedia name under nickname, and under Channel(s):, type #wiki-hurricanes. We look forward to seeing you on there! ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:16, 24 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Hurricane Isabel 18 sept 2003 1555Z.jpg
[edit] Typhoon Xangsane (2000) This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Typhoon Xangsane (2000), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Typhoon Xangsane. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 21:42, 4 March 2008 (UTC) [edit] Hurricane picturesHi. On the featured picture candidate page, there are currently six hurricane pictures nominated by you up for discussion. You're not breaking policy, or anything. Basically, the more hurricanes there are, the harder it is to get them promoted. All of them are outstanding pictures, and I have no doubt that most of them would pass; but the chances are low when you put them all together. Please consider taking some of them out and waiting a week or two? Dr. Extreme (talk) 22:14, 4 March 2008 (UTC) [edit] HeyHi. I noticed that you have been creating several very short articles about various storms, and you have been nominating several images of hurricanes for featured picture candidates. While everybody's contributions are appreciated, the very short one-sentence articles that you have created aren't quite up to standard. Because of this, I suggest that you, being still pretty new to wikipedia, should start out small and learn the basics before creating articles. Don't take it personally; I've been here for over a year, and I've been with the Tropical cyclones project for 6 months, and I still find article writing extremely difficult. However, there are things that you can do. As User:Hurricanehink suggested above, you could meet us on the IRC channel and we could talk with you about various small tasks you could complete until you have a fair grasp on the basics. Again, even experienced editors find it difficult to successfully create articles, so it is nothing out of the ordinary to start small, or even stay small until you can create articles up to standard. Overall, you are doing well as a new editor, but you still need to learn the basics before creating so many articles. Cheers, Juliancolton The storm still blows... 22:20, 4 March 2008 (UTC) [edit] Hurricane KatrinaYou have nominated this photo for FP status. I think it could do with a little cropping and enhancement. If you would like, I could do this for you and replace the image with the modified version. I think it would increase the chances of getting passed, and I personally would like to see this photo in the FP archive. Just let me know on my talk page... --ErgoSum88 (talk) 00:32, 5 March 2008 (UTC) [edit] Hurricane RitaHi, Of all the Hurricane pictures you nominated, I think this was the best, but it was lost in the listing. Try re-listing it in a week or so. Any idea what the red boxes are when zoomed in? Cheers, --Uncle Bungle (talk) 02:46, 10 March 2008 (UTC) [edit] FPCRecently, one of the featured picture candidates had a few votes deleted. Looking at the history reveals that you were the one who did it. Could you please explain? Thanks.

Storm of the month  Cyclone Jokwe was the first tropical cyclone to make landfall in Mozambique since Cyclone Favio struck in the previous year. The tenth named storm of the 2007-08 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season, Jokwe was first classified as a tropical depression on March 2 over the open Southwest Indian Ocean. It tracked west-southwest, crossing northern Madagascar as a tropical storm on March 5 before intensifying into a tropical cyclone on March 6. Jokwe rapidly intensified to reach peak winds of 195 km/h (120 mph), before weakening slightly and striking Nampula Province in northeastern Mozambique. It quickly weakened while paralleling the coastline, though the storm restrengthened as it turned southward in the Mozambique Channel. Late in its duration, it remained nearly stationary for several days, and steadily weakened due to wind shear before dissipating on March 16. The storm caused minor damage in northern Madagascar. In Mozambique, the cyclone affected 165,000 people, and left at least sixteen fatalities. Cyclone Jokwe destroyed over 9,000 houses and damaged over 3,000 more, with the heaviest damage in Angoche and the Island of Mozambique in Nampula Province. The storm also caused widespread power outages and crop damages. Other tropical cyclone activity

Project News: Updates on the Best Track - Atlantic and North Indian Ocean, and more According to an email sent to the India Meteorological Department, there will be an online version of the North Indian Ocean best track from 1877 to 2006, scheduled to be released in two months; it is unknown if it will cost money to access. In unrelated news, the project was featured on the Signpost; Mitchazenia was interviewed, and talked about the past, present, and future of the project. At the end of the month, there were five different Featured content candidates (FXC's) by five different editors; two were featured article candidates, two were featured list candidates, and one was a featured picture candidate. The have been a few times in which there were four FXC's from four different editors, most recently in February and early March of 2008. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:37, 6 April 2008 (UTC) [edit] Comments re FPCThanks for your comments on my talkpage; I was kind of expecting a barrage of abuse so was glad to see nothing of the sort forthcoming. I don't think your actions seemed to be intentionally particularly malicious or damaging, but it's certainly not what is acceptable in terms of a multiuser project like Wikipedia. Some users have said you've done some good work, particularly on the hurricane articles, which is useful to Wikipedia and good to hear, but I can't really understand why you are using multiple account names. Could I suggest that you pick the one you like best and just stick to editing with that, as it allows you to have all your work kept together and lets you establish a good reputation, and also allows other users to get to know you (could I also suggest you keep your signature as your username). Re the bans, I'm nothing to do with that, but keep an eye on Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Joan97. Re FPC, it's probably a good idea to keep away from there for the time being, but you may be able to consider nominating again sometime off in the future if all else goes well. Good luck, --jjron (talk) 09:04, 9 April 2008 (UTC) [edit] Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Joan97See this case. I've blocked your three socks indef, it's causing confusion and disruption.

Storm of the month  Typhoon Neoguri was the earliest tropical cyclone on record to strike China. It formed on April 13 to the east of the Philippines, and once entering the South China Sea, environmental conditions allowed for quick strengthening. Neoguri attained its peak intensity of 150 km/h (90 mph) as it approached the island of Hainan, though rapidly weakened due to unfavorable conditions. The system made landfall in southern China on April 19, causing three deaths and moderate damage totaling over ¥296 million (2008 RMB, $42 million 2008 USD). The typhoon left 40 fishermen missing in the South China Sea. Other tropical cyclone activity

Project News A Wikipedia traffic counter was launched earlier this year. In the month of February, the article on Hurricane Katrina was viewed just over 200,000 times, making the article the 496th most viewed article on the English Wikipedia during the month. During the month, Hurricane Camille was demoted from GA status, continuing the trend of good articles degrading in status on notable storms; other occurrences include the FA removal of Cyclone Tracy and 1900 Galveston Hurricane. If anyone has any ideas how to fix the problem, feedback and ideas are appreciated. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:50, 4 May 2008 (UTC) [edit] Pacific typhoon seasonsCentral Pacific storms that cross into the WPAC should be in line with the rest of the storms.
