I have closed the SPI investigation by blocking your other account (User:HurricaneMichael99), but since you've agreed to edit from this account only, I have not blocked this one. You can continue editing using only this account, Tardis459.

I'd also suggest you read WP:GFYE, as it appears pertinent to your situation. Yunshui ^雲 _水 12:59, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hurricane welcome wagon!

Seeing as you may have gotten off on the wrong foot with the multiple accounts, let me formally welcome you to Wikipedia. I saw your message on User:Jason Rees’s talk page - I’ve known him for a while, so I hope he doesn’t mind that I reach out to you.

I’m glad you’re interested in hurricanes. They’re fascinating forces of nature, and because they’re tracked by government agencies, they’re fairly easy to write about. Are you interested in writing about newer storms or more historic hurricanes? And which basin? I can help with your editing questions.

Regarding your query about joining the tropical cyclone WikiProject, just add your name to the bottom of the list here. Cheers! Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 13:59, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm very into hurricanes and get this, I got almost All the info on the Atlantic basin. In just 6 Monthes.

Right on! Is there any time period you like hurricanes? And you add your name to the bottom of this link - Wikipedia:WikiProject_Tropical_cyclones/Members, after Hurricanedude. Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 14:24, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just joined. Tardis459 (talk) 14:55, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome! By the way, why do you think Arlene 99 should get an article. The storm didn’t affect land (or people), and it was short-lived. Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 16:59, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Because Arlene 99 was my very first storm to track and i think of it as one of my first storms.

Ok, but think of everyone else on Wikipedia. When you write, you need to be nonbiased, and write about each storm like it’s the first time you’ve ever heard of it. Otherwise, the articles will seem like they have an angle, and the trustworthiness of Wikipedia will be gone. Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 20:11, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your right. But still I think it would be nice to have a article for weak storms. You know. Tardis459 (talk) 21:19, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, but weak storms are already covered in their respective season articles. What more information is there about Arlene that isn’t in the sectin? Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 23:12, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe your right everything seems to be in place. Tardis459 (talk) 00:53, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of new storms have pretty good coverage already. The tricky part is finding a storm you care about and wanting to write about it. Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 12:28, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I guess but still it’s would be good to the readers.

Remember, we are not a tropical cyclone database or a repository of hurricane statistics. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia for all of human knowledge, so some topics should get more focus. A weak, short-lived tropical storm that barely affected land probably shouldn’t get an article. There have been years of discussions on the matter. For example: Hurricane Nate is a retired storm article, so it’s a little more important than Arlene, and it’s lacking in information in the US. If you’re interested, you should try adding more info to the US section. Try gathering sources and writing down what you would add here. Just make sure you cite where you get your info from, and don’t plagiarize. Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 12:50, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oh ok hink :). Tardis459 (talk) 12:51, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I also have a question, what if you can make more articles in the pacific basin? Maybe we can make more articles there? Tardis459 (talk) 12:58, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, there’s probably a need for new articles in the Pacific, especially the Western Pacific Ocean. Check out the seasons in the 90s, there are some storms that could use articles, like Typhoon Ryan (1995). Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 14:39, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why don’t we make new articles?

Well, most of the important articles have already been created. You should become more familiar with existing good articles so you see how articles are written, and you can see what important articles are missing. Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 20:55, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well hink, I think Hurricane Lee needs a page because it’s was powerful.

That's true Lee was powerful. There were lots of strong hurricanes and typhoons that don't have articles. That fact they are of a certain intensity means they are notable, but the storm itself isn't notable. Storms should have articles when they affect people, so the article can document impacts, what humans did in response to the natural disaster. If people did nothing different because the storm existed, then it's not worth documenting in such detail. But, there is an article on List of Category 5 Atlantic hurricanes and List of Category 4 Atlantic hurricanes. If you're interested, you should make a sandbox for List of Category 3 Atlantic hurricanes, which would include Lee, and a lot of other storms at that intensity. Perhaps make the article at User:Tardis459/List of Category 3 Atlantic hurricanes? This way, you could learn how to edit an article in relative privacy, figure out coding/syntax, and compiling a list. It might sound boring, but it would be useful to the project to have, and wouldn't be too hard to become a featured list. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:03, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah... but I’m only a kid btw so how do I do it?

There is no age limit! Also, if Arlene 99 was your first storm you tracked (19 years ago) then you’re hardly a kid :P But there are people young and old on this great website. For starters, when you edit on the talk page, please add a time stamp to the end of your comment with four tildas: ~~~~ Secondly, go to the Atlantic Hurricane best track, which has every single storm since 1851, and figure out how many major hurricanes (Category 3) hurricanes we’ve had, listing it at User:Tardis459/List of Category 3 Atlantic hurricanes. Don’t list storms that strengthened further to a Category 4 or 5. Of course, you don’t have to, but that would be a useful new article, and I can tell someone with your enthusiasm would do a good job at it.

Ok! Tardis459 (talk)|

You didn’t follow directions though. You should start with a sandbox article, meaning it can be incomplete and you work on it with relative privacy. work on compiling the list here - User:Tardis459/List of Category 3 Atlantic hurricanes, and make sure you use List of Category 4 Atlantic hurricanes as a template for how it’ll look in the end. You need to do research first if you want to write it well. Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 14:57, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
