[edit] Sources

We need to cite sources here. Where did this information come from?

  • I checked over the lists which were supplied by Gary Padgett for the 1950's, 1960's, and 1970's and filled in the gaps. He said he had gathered it from old newspapers he had collected over the years. Thegreatdr 18:31, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discrepancy in Naming

In the "North Pacific east of 140W" section, "Names effective 1960-1977" subsection, the third list refers to "Aletta" but the retired list says that Adele was replaced by "Alleta". Anybody know which name is actually correct? --Quelloquialism 10:32, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] please edit this

this article is confusing and vague. Kingturtle 21:08, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Modern Retired Names?

Shouldn't names retired from the modern lists also be listed here since they are 'old' and will not come into use again? They aren't covered here or in the hurricane naming article.

In the Atlantic, those would be:

[edit] EPAC 1960-1967

Most of the names were taken straight from here. I don't see why it is disputed. Hurricanehink 22:13, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

I dispute it for these reasons:
  1. It says that Irena was retired, yet I can find no mention of the name Irena being used anywhere at this ATWC site.
  2. The statement that name Hazel was retired because of the Atlantic storm. If that is true, why were Ione and Connie used at a later date when they were retired? They were also retired in the Atlantic. And what is the source for that info?
  3. Unisys reveals that the Annette-Willa list was used 1960-62. When Willa was reached during the 1962 season, the Ava-Wallie list was used until 1965. When Wallie was reached that year, the same list was restarted until Hazel ended the year.
  4. Why is Kathleen listed as retired/replaced? I can't find any notice of that being true.
This is why I dispute the accuracy of this section. Miss Michelle | Talk to Michelle 22:43, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclones

How can we find the old name lists of Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclones ? There is less information about this basin than other basins.

[edit] Rename?

I think this article should be renamed List of historic tropical cyclone names be cause that's what it really is. The word "previous" implies recency. These names are historic: ones from...history. I think the name should reflect that. -- §HurricaneERIC§Damagesarchive 03:25, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

I agree with that, and your logic is perfect. Full support. Hurricanehink 03:29, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Done since no objections were raised over the past 4 months. Thegreatdr 18:41, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Todo

This is just a disorganized and unstructured list of lists... Jdorje 20:16, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Philippine Lists

Is the sets used from 2001 to 2004 is the same as to 2005 afterwards? If yes, kindly change from 2004 to Present in a title for the usage of the set that was effective since 2001. --Frj1947 17:22, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

  • It is not the same since the name list have been revised in late 2004 with for starters Wang-Wang was replace by Weng (there was also a revision in May 2005 but it concern only about the name Undang which is replace by Urduja, since the former is suppose to be retired). It is best to compare both list and see that there are big changes in the names use. 15 May 2006
  • My mistake the revision was started in late 2003 but there was major revision in 2004 and a minor one in 2005.

[edit] Eastern Pacific List

I read somewhere before that the First Eastern Pacific Hurricane name list from 1960 consist of 4 list with rules applying to the list the same as the Western Pacific (meaning use running sequentially). In 1966 this was change to starting with A every year just as the Atlantic List but still maintaining the old list that was before. Can anyone please clarify that information? 29 May 2006
