A tag has been placed on Tropical Depression Five-E (2008) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

Just to let you know, I had a sandbox I was working on for that depression, so I copied my content over. There is still work to be done for the impact section. If you need any help, feel free to ask around. I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. Cheers, Cyclonebiskit (talk) 03:46, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Five-E and Fausto pages

Welcome to wikipedia, I would like to let you know that User:Juliancolton has merged Hurricane Fausto (2008). For the article Tropical Depression Five-E (2008), I might file AFD or merge it with the 2008 Pacific hurricane season. Cheers. Leave Message ,Yellow Evan home , User:Yellow Evan/Sandbox

The TD Five-E article is long enough to avoid AFD, I just have to finish it. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 16:16, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

File:Paloma 2008 track2.png?

Where did you get the data for File:Paloma 2008 track2.png, and how did you plot them? It looks like you just used a Paint program to erase the "triangle" data points at the beginning; I can even see that you accidentally erased part of the first "circle" data point. What are those things that you put in over Cuba? Are they supposed to be triangles? Did you place them there manually? -- RattleMan 07:34, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Hurricane Norbert intensity

Please note that the Tropical Cyclone Report has been released for Norbert and it states that the intensity was lowered to 115kts (135mph). Thanks, Cyclonebiskit 22:54, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

That was quick, I was thinking that it's not 130mph... HurricaneSpin (talk) 22:57, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

To get rid of that issue, put the winds at 116kts. Cyclonebiskit 22:58, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Just a note

Just giving you a heads up concerning one of your recent updates to your userpage, there is an ongoing discussion about tropical storms/depressions that don't impact land getting articles (with some exceptions). To avoid possible removal of the article in the future, I would advise not making an article for Iselle. An article for Lowell is welcome, so feel free to make it. Cheers, :) Cyclonebiskit 20:02, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

That is the reason I put Iselle a low chance since I might not find enough information to make a article, Lowell and Odile all have impact on land. Hurricane Typhoon Cyclone 20:06, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Ohh, that's what the percentages mean. I thought that meant how far along with the article you where, my bad. Cyclonebiskit 20:51, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

I already started Fausto and Lowell but Fausto has stopped, lowell is going fast. Hurricane Typhoon Cyclone 20:56, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Your Talk Page Style

Why do you put comments in article talk page comments in between past comments like in Talk:2009 Pacific hurricane season making it, in my opinion "Messed Up." Darren23 12:32, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Everyone do, to reply the old comment or to comment about similar things. I think if someone put it at the bottom is more "Messed Up". HurricaneSpin Talk My contributions 12:54, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Here is my problem with that, when I left a comment in the discussion, I indented it in response to a previous comment, then something weird happened, and I thing it was either because you or someone else moved the preceding comment or my preceding statement in the top. Well, if you think it will be more messed up if people put comments, I think everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Thanks! Darren23 (Contribs) 15:16, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

TD1 article

Please don't work on the article. Someone else is working on it already, and there isn't even a need for the article yet, anyway. It only dissipated a few hours ago, and pretty much the only info on it is already in the season article. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:52, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

HurricaneSpin, please stop working on the sandbox of the article. I've already done substantial work on it and I'd be quite disappointed to have my work all for not. Thanks, Cyclonebiskit (talk) 03:32, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Article writing

HurricaneSpin, please listen to us when we ask you kindly to stop working on articles. Although you like to write them, they are unnecessary at times, such as an article for Fred and now even a sandbox for a non-existent storm (Grace). If you want to work on some articles constantly, please work on older storms, namely retired ones, that need their articles improved. Cheers, Cyclonebiskit (talk) 13:36, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Could you tell me what storm article is in needed now? (I am not good at writing Wpac since there is too many TCWC to track with) HurricaneSpin Talk My contributions 18:25, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Here catch. Just make sure you get a copyeditor before you publish. Cheers, Good luck, and Happy Editing. Leave Message, Yellow Evan home

Yellow Evan, those are much less notable storms, hurricanes on this list need much more attention than any storm you can come up with from the EPac. I urge you, HurricaneSpin, to work on one of the retired hurricanes. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 18:47, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Didn't those already have articles? HurricaneSpin Talk My contributions 18:50, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

The retired names need work while the suggested EPac storms don't. It's a good idea to expand some articles instead of creating unnecessary ones. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 18:57, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

DYK for Hurricane Fred (2009)

On September 16, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Hurricane Fred (2009), which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page (here's how) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Marty

There is no need for Marty right now. Darren23 ^{My Contributions} 03:35, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Marty is not and will not be needed as it is a non-notable storm. It didn't make landfall and we need to constrict the amount of storms we need to make articles on. Thank you. Darren23 ^{My Contributions} 23:43, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

I can copy/paste it onto the season page. HurricaneSpin Talk My contributions 20:09, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Please don't do what you did to 2009 AHS for Danny. Thank you. Darren23^Edits|Mail 20:54, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Only put a little in the season, otherwise it'll be way too large, all that's needed is a paragraph. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 20:18, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Oh, by the way, I can't find any source for Socorro Island weather. HurricaneSpin Talk My contributions 20:28, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

What about Karina and Nana last year? Why do they get articles? HurricaneSpin Talk My contributions 01:11, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Cause last year wasn't as constricted. Darren23^Edits|Mail 01:14, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Can I publish it some how if it is the quality of GA? HurricaneSpin Talk My contributions 01:16, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

So far, you're articles are not really up to par as the storms created this year for EPAC/ATL excluding Jimena and Danny. Fred was completely redone by Cyclonebiskit (talk · contribs) and the only reason Danny isn't merged right now is because that CB and Juliancolton are going to rewrite it.

Hurricanes

Helo may I know the reasons you wish to merge the articles? El Johnson (talk) 01:47, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Please read this and the structure of an tropical cyclone article before writing. Also look for other hurricane articles as examples. Thanks. HurricaneSpin Talk 02:03, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

I know that they can all be expanded, and they are not FA material right now. Took a look at the link:

1. none are stubs
2. more than one paragraph

3.

"Unnamed (including numbered) hurricanes (used for older tropical cyclones in all basins) should be distinguished by location, type, and year. Three naming conventions are acceptable: Galveston Hurricane of 1900, 1928 Okeechobee Hurricane, or Unnamed Hurricane (1975). All unnamed hurricanes should always have a year in the name. Again, create redirects wherever necessary to avoid confusion or duplicate articles."

I think your project should do a bit more research when it comes to this, since many of the "unnamed" hurricanes HAVE names. And they are not "location, type, and year" names. Since the 1870ts San Juan had a meteorological observatory, and Havana before that. Still most of the hurricane before that were named and those name were used officially by Government.

4. have infobox
5. has link to wk hurricane in talk page
6.they link to season
7.season links to hurricane
8. are properly categorized

BTW its wiki courtesy to reply to an editor in his/hers talk page, or if you reply in your own as least let them know that you have. El Johnson (talk) 03:35, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, one of the reasons of coming on strong about the merge proposal is that for the next two weeks I cant dedicate much time to wiki, yet after that I have more than time. Still I see no reason why the articles have to be merged at the moment. After the next few weeks I will dedicate time to them. If in a couple of months they are not upgraded then they could be merged if that is the case, of course on a case by case basis. El Johnson (talk) 04:32, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. --Hurricanehink (talk) 01:20, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

You have been blocked for three hours for breaking the 3 revert rule. Igor is not officially a hurricane until the NHC says so in the advisory. I will not block the other party, since they were, in good faith, restoring the correct version. Other people can make the adjustment if and when NHC makes the change. --Hurricanehink (talk) 01:39, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Storm of the month
Hurricane Frank is the storm of the Month.

Hurricane Frank

Tropical Depression Nine-E formed on August 21 south of the Gulf of Tehuantepec. It developed into a tropical storm the following morning. On August 23, Frank continued to intensify, but later faced shear and entered a period of weakening. However, on August 24, as shear decreased, it began to reorganize and strengthen again, becoming a hurricane on August 25. Two days later, Frank weakened into a tropical storm. Rapidly weakening overnight, NHC issued that it have been degraded into an remnant low. The area of low pressure associated with Frank was absorbed with another area of disturbed weather which later developed into Tropical Depression Ten-E.

Throughout Central America, Hurricane Frank produced torrential rain that resulted in at least 30 fatalities, most of which took place in Nicaragua and Honduras. In Guatemala alone, damage from the system was estimated to be up to $500 million. In Mexico, six deaths were reported. A total 30 homes were destroyed with 26 others damaged. Two major roads were damaged with another road blocked due to a landslides. Several rivers overflowed their banks as well. Losses from the storms totaled millions of dollars. Water Currents form a nearby volcano were damaged as well.

Other tropical cyclone activity

• Atlantic Ocean– In the Atlantic Ocean, around three storms and one depression formed. Tropical Depression Four early on August 2. Early the next day, the depression strengthened further into a tropical storm and was named "Colin". Tropical Storm Colin was downgraded to a tropical depression late morning on August 8. Tropical Depression 5 formed on August 10, with no improvement, it dissipated within 24 hours. Tropical Depression Six developed near the Cape Verde Islands on August 21, the first of the series of Cape Verde-type storms. On August 22 the system attained tropical storm status, thus earning the name "Danielle" The next day it attained hurricane status, becoming the second of the season and strengthened further to a Category 2 hurricane. On August 27, Hurricane Danielle strengthened to a Category 3 hurricane, becoming the first major hurricane of the season, and further strengthened to a Category 4 hurricane shortly after.Danielle later weakened to a Category 3, then Category 2 hurricane, and later became a Category 1 Hurricane due to an eyewall replacement cycle, while avoiding land areas. It became extratropical early on August 31 southeast of Newfoundland without having directly impacted land. It was fully absorbed by a larger extratropical low on September 4 over Greenland. On August 25, Tropical Depression 7 formed east of Hurricane Danielle. Later that day it was upgraded to Tropical Storm Earl. On August 29, 2010 Earl strengthened to become the season's third hurricane. Earl then quickly intensified to become the season's second major hurricane on August 30. The hurricane weakened to a Category 3 hurricane after an eyewall replacement cycle before becoming a Category 4 again. Earl made landfall in the Canadian Maritime Provinces, twice in Nova Scotia and once in Prince Edward Island (PEI) at hurricane intensity. On August 30, when gale-force winds and better organization resulted in the development of Tropical Storm Fiona, skipping tropical depression status. It struggled to develop further, however, as it was hindered by high wind shear from the outflow of the much larger and stronger Earl.

• Eastern Pacific Ocean– Three depressions formed in the Month of August. A tropical depression formed on August 5. slowly intensified, reaching tropical storm status on August 6. On August 9, it was downgraded into a tropical depression. On August 10th Estelle dissipated. Tropical Depression Eight-E formed on August 20. However, the depression weakened slightly overnight. The depression continued to weaken and the National Hurricane Center issued its final advisory on August 22. Tropical Depression Nine-E formed on August 21 south of the Gulf of Tehuantepec. It developed into a tropical storm the following morning. On August 25 it became a hurricane. Two days later, Frank weakened into a tropical storm. Rapidly weakening overnight, NHC issued that it have been degraded into an remnant low. Throughout Central America, Hurricane Frank produced torrential rain that resulted in at least 30 fatalities, most of which took place in Nicaragua and Honduras. In Guatemala alone, damage from the system was estimated to be up to $500 million. In Mexico, six deaths were reported. A total 30 homes were destroyed with 26 others damaged. Two major roads were damaged with another road blocked due to a landslides. Several rivers overflowed their banks as well. Losses from the storms totaled millions of dollars. Water Currents form a nearby volcano were damaged as well.

• Western Pacific Ocean– Eight depression formed in the Month of August. Early on August 4, After Domeng, had merged with the low pressure area PAGASA reported that Domeng had intensified into a tropical storm and reached its 10-minute peak sustained windspeeds of 65 km/h (40 mph). In Luzon, heavy rain produced by the storm led to a few landslides, prompting road closures. Offshore, three people drowned after their boat capsized amidst rough seas produced by Domeng. Later that day PAGASA reported that Domeng had weakened into a tropical depression, before reporting early the next day that after it had passed through the Babuyan Islands, Domeng had weakened into an area of low pressure. Early on August 6, the JTWC reported that a tropical disturbance formed within the monsoon gyre about 800 km (500 mi) southeast of Taipei, Taiwan. During that day the JMA started to monitor the depression before the JTWC designated it as Tropical Depression 05W. The depression was then upgraded into a tropical storm by the JMA and named "Dianmu". After moving northward for several days, it turned northeastward and struck southern South Korea. Dianmu weakened as it crossed the Korean peninsula and emerged into the Sea of Japan. Heavy rains produced by the storm resulted in one fatality after a cargo ship sank amidst rough seas produced by the storm. This marked the first time in nine years that a rain-related fatality took place in the capital city of Seoul. More than 3,000 homes were destroyed in eastern China after heavy rains from the outer bands of Dianmu struck the region. The storm made landfall on Japan; exiting the country within five hours. Heavy rains were reported through out the islands. Nearly a week after the two ships sank off the coast of the Philippines, 31 crew members remain missing and are presumed dead after numerous coast guard rescue attempts. Damage from the storm on Jeju Island amounted to 5 billion won ($4.2 million USD). Early on August 17, an area of low pressure formed about 415 km (260 mi), northeast of Tuguegarao City, Cagayan. On the evening of August 18, as it crossed Babuyan Islands, the disturbance's low level center (LLC) weakened due to land interaction and high vertical wind shear. It regenerated on August 20 when it was located about 280 km (175 miles), to the west of Dagupan City, Pangasinan. Early on the next day, the LLCC of the disturbance became partially exposed due to a Tropical Upper Tropospheric Trough (TUTT) that was developing off Luzon at that time. On the afternoon of that day, Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) upgraded the system into a tropical depression. The next day, they further upgraded the depression into a tropical storm and named it "Mindulle". At the same time, the JTWC reported that Tropical Depression 06W has intensified into a tropical storm. Thousands of fishermen were urged to return to port. According to Vietnamese officials, contact was lost with 10 vessels on August 24 and the 137 fishermen on the ships were listed as missing. Rainfall, peaking at 297 mm (11.7 in),[59] led to significant flooding and agricultural losses. A Tropical depression formed on August 26, it survived for three days with no change in strength. it rapidly traveled northwest and dissipated on August 29. On August 28, the JMA upgraded the system to a Tropical Storm and was named "Lionrock". Early of september 1, Lionrock made a Fujiwhara effect with Namtheun, whilst Lionrock maintained it's strength while Namtheun was absorbed. Lionrock made landfall on the east coast of Guangdong Province, China, just north of the city of Shantou. It then started to dissipate and weaken into a tropical storm and moved over Guangzhou, Guangdong's capital. Lionrock soon lost it's intensity as it went over Guangdong. Midday of August 29, the Joint Typhoon Warning Centre (JTWC) issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA) on the system as a Low Level Circulation Centre had become organized. On the morning of that same day, the JTWC announced that the system had quickly developed into a tropical storm and assigned the designation "08W". Intensification continued, then by midday of August 30, the JMA reported that the depression had intensified into a tropical storm and assigned it the international designation "Kompasu". In addition, PAGASA also announced that the low pressure in the northeast of Batanes had formed and assigned it a local name, "Glenda". At the same time, the JTWC also upgraded Kompasu into a category 1 typhoon. On the next day, Kompasu crossed the island of Kadena and rapidly intensified into a category 2 typhoon equivalent. On September 1, Kompasu was upgraded by JTWC as a category 3 typhoon equivalent, becoming the strongest typhoon of the season. The storm later weakened to a category one typhoon in the Yellow Sea, before veering northeast and making landfall on Ganghwa Island, northwest of Incheon and Seoul, killing at least four people.[61] Kompasu was the strongest tropical storm to hit the Seoul metropolitan area in 15 years. On August 27, an extensive cloud formed in the waters east of Taiwan. On August 28, it developed into a low pressure. At 18:00, near Yaeyama Islands, the Japan Meteorological Agency upgraded the low pressure into a tropical depression. There were two tropical cyclones developing on both sides of 09W (namely Lionrock and Kompasu), and Typhoon Kompasu had a relatively stronger intensity, causing 09W moved southwest to Taiwan Strait. On August 30, it caused heavy rain in northern Taiwan. Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau could only issue a tropical depression warning since it had not strengthened to a tropical storm. At 20:00, 09W suddenly intensified into a tropical storm, and was named Namtheun. However, due to the development of another stronger tropical storm Lionrock at South China Sea, the increase of intensity of Namtheun was difficult. In the evening hours of August 31, Namtheun weakened into a tropical depression north of Taiwan Strait. Whilst Lionrock maintained it's strength while Namtheun was absorbed. Late on August 28, the Central Pacific Hurricane Center reported that an area of low pressure system associated with a tropical disturbance had developed about 1,000 mi (1,600 km) to the southwest of Honolulu in Hawaii. Isolated thunderstorms were developing in association with the small low-level circulation. During the next day the disturbance moved towards the west and moved into the western Pacific where the JMA immediately designated it as a tropical depression. The depression was expected to bring inclement weather to Majauro and nearby atolls, although the system significantly weakened before reaching the area.

The October member of the month is CrazyC83. Since joining the project near its inception, CrazyC83 has been involved in bringing twenty two articles to Good Article status and one article to Featured Article Status. Not only this, he is been working with the 2010 Atlantic hurricane season 24/7. Our Favorite member Jason Rees looks like he has gone on a short break with the west, but he still continues with the east.

Storm Basics

• A tropical cyclone is a storm system characterized by a large low-pressure center and numerous thunderstorms that produce strong winds and heavy rain.
• While tropical cyclones can produce extremely powerful winds and torrential rain, they are also able to produce high waves and damaging storm surge as well as spawning tornadoes.
• The term "tropical" refers to both the geographic origin of these systems, which form almost exclusively in tropical regions of the globe, and their formation in maritime tropical air masses.
• Many tropical cyclones develop when the atmospheric conditions around a weak disturbance in the atmosphere are favorable. The background environment is modulated by climatological cycles and patterns such as the Madden-Julian oscillation, El Niño-Southern Oscillation, and the Atlantic multidecadal oscillation.

Editorial Member Award
This month the editorial member award has been disputed to CrazyC83 & Jason Rees. CrazyC83 has been working mainly with the 2010 Atlantic hurricane season while Jason Rees is working with the 2010 Pacific typhoon season. Jason has also created sandboxes for western Pacific Typhoons and North Indian ocean cyclones, Rashmi and Dianmu are a few good examples of this work.
