Welcome to Wikipedia. Make it better; do an FA review. (already have?)


WikiCup 2018 May newsletter

The second round of the 2018 WikiCup has now finished. Most contestants who advanced to the next round scored upwards of 100 points, but two with just 10 points managed to scrape through into round 3. Our top scorers in the last round were:

  • Scotland Cas Liber, our winner in 2016, with three featured articles
  • Republic of Texas Iazyges, with nine good articles and lots of bonus points
  • India Yashthepunisher, a first time contestant, with two featured lists
  • Cascadia (independence movement) SounderBruce, a finalist last year, with seventeen good topic articles
  • United States Usernameunique, a first time contestant, with fourteen DYKs
  • San Francisco Muboshgu, a seasoned competitor, with three ITNs and
  • South Carolina Courcelles, another first time contestant, with twenty-seven GARs

So far contestants have achieved twelve featured articles between them and a splendid 124 good articles. Commendably, 326 GARs have been completed during the course of the 2018 WikiCup, so the backlog of articles awaiting GA review has been reduced as a result of contestants' activities. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met; most of the GARs are fine, but a few have been a bit skimpy.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Re: importance

Surely there should be a top importance article in each basin, and there were two open slots. I think both are more worthy than Sandy or Andrew, considering those two are US based and aren’t even the costliest or even 3rd costliest. Regarding Gafilo, it has more confirmed deaths than Leon-Eline, was stronger, and costlier (only because I couldn’t find a death toll for Leon-Eline). What do you think? Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 23:00, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Gafilo and Leon-Eline are both important storms. Not sure how much of a factor it is, but Gafilo is not mentioned in the Madagascar country article, whereas Leon-Eline is mentioned in Mozambique's article (although not by name). If you include preceding floods along with Leon-Eline, then the death toll of 700 is one of the highest in the southern hemisphere. Only 114 deaths can be confirmed related to Leon-Eline though, which is lower than Gafilo's death toll. That was my rationale for giving Gafilo top-importance, but I'm happy to open up this discussion more. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:42, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 1982 Pacific typhoon season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Albany (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

WikiCup 2018 July newsletter

The third round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The 16 users who made it to the fourth round had at least 227 points. Our top scorers in round 3 were:

  • South Carolina Courcelles, a first time contestant, with 1756 points, a tally built largely on 27 GAs related to the Olympics
  • Scotland Cas Liber, our winner in 2016, with two featured articles and three GAs on natural history and astronomy topics
  • Cascadia (independence movement) SounderBruce, a finalist last year, with a variety of submissions related to transport in the state of Washington

Contestants managed 7 featured articles, 4 featured lists, 120 good articles, 1 good topic, 124 DYK entries, 15 ITN entries, and 132 good article reviews. Over the course of the competition, contestants have completed 458 GA reviews, in comparison to 244 good articles submitted for review and promoted. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process; several submissions, particularly in abstruse or technical areas, have needed additional work to make them completely verifiable.

If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required).

Harvey

I think we need to have a discussion on how to improve the Hurricane Harvey article to B class. With what you said "Certain sections are quite bloated and it's missing statements like 'X homes were damaged in Y, leaving Z homeless' type of info.", I marked B2 as not being covered as this would be an obvious omission of data. I am currently working on getting a stub article to start class or possibly C class today, so Harvey isn't my biggest priority. I just feel we need a discussion on how to get our C class hurricane articles to B class. FigfiresSend me a message! 17:48, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Tropical cyclones in 2010

I have been working on Tropical cyclones in 2010 for the last 2 days and it is coming along nicely. Would appreciate some ideas for improvements to the structure of the page. FigfiresSend me a message! 20:36, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Yellow Evan: I know it is supposed to be different from season articles. I found 24 notable systems that deserve mentioning in the article. However, I would appreciate it if other editors would give guidance in the development of the article. FigfiresSend me a message! 00:11, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Yellow Evan:Should the summary for the notable tropical cyclones be a sentence or two? Or should it be more detailed? I just want more feedback before going ahead with some changes. FigfiresSend me a message! 14:40, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WPac tables

Just to note that in regards to your edit here, you are wrong as we use the JMA numbers instead of the JTWC numbers. Therefore Maria is "08" here not "10". Typhoon2013 (talk) 01:30, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hector Record

Appears that Hector just set a record. I cant find any sources about the record... Are we still able to mention it? FigfiresSend me a message! 22:20, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Also, what do you think about the current Hector article? I have been working hard to expand the meteorological history section. FigfiresSend me a message! 19:47, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Re: To be honest, I highly doubt Hector will cross into the Western Pacific at Typhoon intensity given it was just lowered to 65kt. Does the JMA name it based off its highest intensity or the intensity at the time it enters the basin? FigfiresSend me a message! 21:05, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
What I meant was if it crosses over as a TS, will it be referred to as Typhoon Hector or (Severe) Tropical Storm Hector for the name of it in that region?FigfiresSend me a message! 21:21, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2018 September newsletter

The fourth round of the 2018 WikiCup has now come to an end. The eight users who made it to the final round had to score a minimum of 422 points to qualify, with the top score in the round being 4869 points. The leaders in round 4 were:

  • South Carolina Courcelles scored a magnificent 4869 points, with 92 good articles on Olympics-related themes. Courcelles' bonus points alone exceeded the total score of any of the other contestants!
  • Hel, Poland Kees08 was second with 1155 points, including a high-scoring featured article for Neil Armstrong, two good topics and some Olympics-related good articles.
  • Scotland Cas Liber, with 1066 points, was in third place this round, with two featured articles and a good article, all on natural history topics.
  • Other contestants who qualified for the final round were Marshall Islands Nova Crystallis, Republic of Texas Iazyges, Cascadia (independence movement) SounderBruce, Wales Kosack and United States Ceranthor.

During round four, 6 featured articles and 164 good articles were promoted by WikiCup contestants, 13 articles were included in good topics and 143 good article reviews were performed. There were also 10 "in the news" contributions on the main page and 53 "did you knows". Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck, and let the best editor win!

Talk:List of Horn of Africa tropical cyclones rating

There are no records of any storms hitting some Molly out before 1980, and it doesn’t help that the satellite era started in 1961. Frankly, I bet the Indian meteorological department didn’t care for much of its history tracking storms that far west away from India. I’m sure there been more storms affecting the area. I just can’t find them :/ Could you search LN for any of the storms since 1984, or so [Somalia cyclone] as a search. You’ll get a lot for 2013 and 2018, so just search before 2013 (if you can/have the time!) Just wanted to explain why I published despite it seeming incomplete.
