I'm glad someone looked at that page. I found them via searching the archives of this site. I figured some storms might have been overlooked, and by searching from August to September, I might find things in the peak of the season when waters are warmest. Hurricanehink 01:13, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
Nice! The naming list is cool, but there should be two and we should talk about it. A couple of names can't be used; Rachael, Virgil, and Winifred (all used in EPAC). What about Rosanna, Vasco, and Wilda? Also, if you want it to be as authentic looking as possible, you should use Mediterranean names; French, Spanish, Italian, Greek, etc. For example, yours could start with Adéle, Bernardo, Cassandra, Dimitris, etc. Here's mine (I'll reverse the gender of the ones you did).

The lists can be used sequentially; if the last storm of the season was Claude, the first of the next year would be Delia. Sorry, but I couldn't help but add X, Y, and Z, mainly to extend the time period between lists. Is it possible for you to do the same for yours? Not just X, Y, and Z, but have strictly Mediterranean names? Hurricanehink 21:08, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
Actually, I didn't think of it. Some nice girl from Italy emailed me about those! Talk about random. Hurricanehink 21:01, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
I moved "User Cyclone1/Hickenese Language" to "User:Cyclone1/Hickenese Language" (notice the colon). Without the colon you'd actually created an article in the main wikipedia with the weird title "User Cyclone1/Hickenese Language" as opposed to a user-subpage. I will go ahead and put the original page on speedy delete (it's just a redirect now). Please update your own link on your userpage. Happy editting. Bobak 16:37, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
Here's some coincedences you may have missed. First, in the Allison section, both came from EPAC disturbances! 1989 Allison came from Cosme, while 2001 Allison came from a tropical wave that entered the EPAC then moved north into the GOM. Also, they lasted a long time for an early system. 1989 Allison lasted 13 days as it went from Texas through Midwest to dissipate in Texas again. 2001 lasted 14 days as it went from Texas to Mid-Atlantic. The longevities are a pretty amazing coincedence as well, with only a 1 day difference.
Next is the Olivia coincedence. 1971's and 1978's Olivia both came from Atlantic hurricanes; Greta and Irene. Both Irene and Greta moved through the southern Lesser Antilles as depressions, and redevoped into hurricanes in the EPAC. Irene was a minimal hurricane that became a major hurricane, while Greta was a major hurricane that became a minimal hurricane. Irene and Greta crossed into the EPAC on the same day! September 20. Both Atlantic seasons were above average (12 and 13), and both EPAC seasons had 18 storms form. That's all I found so far, but I think this coincedence is pretty amazing, IMO. Hurricanehink 14:09, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
Hey, I'm glad you like the page. As far as the alpha-epsilon, I am going to wait to write those because the NHC is making a new back-up list for 06 (if they hold to their plans), instead of using the Greek Alphabet when the list runs out. So I will wait until they release that list. If worst comes to worst and a Cat. 4 doesn't form in May, I will be quite disappointed. Weatherman90 01:26, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

In order to get a custom signature, click on "My Preferences" on the upper right and insert the formatting and text you want your signature to contain (or, click here). I personally included the date and time directly into my nickname to allow for special formatting, so I sign with three tildes (~~~) rather than four.
My signature's formatting is: {{SUBST:User:Cuivienen/Signature}}<span style="font-size:85%;">, [[{{subst:CURRENTDAYNAME}}]], [[{{subst:CURRENTDAY}} {{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}}]] [[{{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}]] @ {{subst:CURRENTTIME}} [[UTC]]</span>'''. User:Cuivienen/Signature contains the part of my signature other than the date and time, but to create customing formatting of the date and time requires inserting it directly into the signature formatting slot.
That's really it. — Cuivi é nen, Thursday, 20 April 2006 @ 23:25 UTC
Why the heck did you discontinue your 2007 hurricane season page, it was amazing! I highly suggest you revive it. Icelandic Hurricane #12 21:19, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
I stumbled across your 2007 page, and saw that there was this discussion. You may want to note that WP:NOT a free webhost, so your fake track maps of the 2007 storms which eat up valuable space may be against policy. You may want to consider asking an admin to delete the track maps (as author request), and instead use text? Chacor 15:43, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:EuropeanWindstorm.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{ Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Dear Tropical cyclone editor,
As a member of the Tropical Cyclone Wikiproject, you are receiving this message to describe how you can better tropical cyclone articles. There are hundreds of tropical cyclone articles, though many of them are poorly organized and lacking in information. Using the existing featured articles as a guide line, here is the basic format for the ideal tropical cyclone article.
Good luck with future writing, and if you have a question about the above, don't hesitate to ask.
Hurricanehink ( talk) 20:03, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Just to let you know, Storm05 made the article on the mainspace, but I merged it due to lack of quality. Hurricanehink ( talk) 17:08, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
Not a bad start. However, a lot is needed for it to become a real article, and I mean no offense by any of the following. First, inline sourcing is needed for the entire article. See Wikipedia:Citing sources. Basically, every sentence in the article should be cited. The writing is poor throughout the article. More info is needed in the Florida section. The storm caused nearly a billion damage. The text should go into detail of the damage. The probably in the impact section should be removed, as for an article, it needs to be yes or no. Keep trying, and this could eventually be an article. Hurricanehink ( talk) 13:26, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
This should be made into its own article. I'm sure it's okay. It would be at least a start class, I think. íslenska hurikein #12 (samtal) 01:29, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

The May member of the month is TitoXD. The WikiProject awards this to him for his brilliant work in improving articles. TitoXD joined the WikiProject in October just after it had been founded. Since then he has contributed substantially to many articles, for example Hurricane Nora (1997), which is currently a Featured Article Candidate. He is also actively involved in the assessment of articles and so helps to improve many more articles.

Please take no offense by any of the following. I was just looking over at the Simple English Wikipedia, and it is really lacking in hurricane articles. I notice some of your writing is a little simplistic, and you are interested in article creating. The articles are about done here, but there's a world of articles for you to make there. You are too valuable of an asset to have waiting around here, as what we're mostly doing is making small changes to get articles to FA class. Looking at your passion for tropical cyclones, you should consider it. It will need to get done eventually, and I'm sure there would be other people around here to help out there. I mean no offense by this, but your writing is a little too simplistic for here in places. On the Simple English Wikipedia, your work would be extremely appreciated, and you can write on just about anything about tropical cyclones. Give it a thought, and let me know what you think. Hurricanehink ( talk) 20:55, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Okay I will. That means we have a nor'easter in June! Normally they form between October and April. Do you know how long "NOr'easter Danielle" has been around? Also, does it look strong?; I think it might be, becasue I got a lot of it yesterday, but thought it was just another cold front. You know, if you want, you can add information to the page; it would actually be better I think.
There's a bit too much trivia, and it's worded a bit too unencyclopedically, but the idea for such an article is good... it'd need a renaming as well, but I think it could be a good article. NSLE 06:21, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Good luck with that one. I found a few links that could be helpful to you.
-- Hurricanehink ( talk) 12:59, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Don't worry about the questions. 1) Sure, go ahead and add them in. I think it provides for better summarization once you have all of the storms done. 2) You can ask Nilfanion on his request page for the track map. Just list every storm since 1949 that you want in the map, and he'll do it. 3) What you want is {{ Cite web}} formatting. This is basically how you do it. {{cite web|author=Name|year=Year|title=The title for the thing|publisher=Central Pacific Hurricane Center (or omit the section if there is no publisher)|accessdate=2006-08-12|url=www.something.com}}</ref>. Do you got it? Hurricanehink ( talk) 12:40, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Yea, I was too tempted with what I had. Of course, I am absolutely convinced that at least one of those storms on my page was a bonifide tropical cyclone :) Hurricanehink ( talk) 03:12, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Hehe, don't worry. That looks pretty impressive, but it's probably a polar low. Its location is at around 40º north, and it's October, which is just the beginning of their season, so it's not likely that it was tropical. Hurricanehink ( talk) 02:12, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
AS I HAVE DONE W/ HINK AND ERIC, I AM INTRODUCING MYSELF AND DON'T PLAN ON LEAVING ANY TIME SOON, SO WITH THAT SAID, WHERE IN FLA DO YOU LIVE. Here is my e-mail (i like talking more through e-mail so the fricken world can't read it) act32701@hotmail.com
Hey; could I suggest something that'd shorten your signature? Here should be some code that does about the same as your current code:
<b><i><span style="color:#00008B;">[[User:Cyclone1|→Cycl]]</span><span style="font-size:110%;color:#4682B4;">[[User talk:Cyclone1|one1]]→</span></i></b>
Here's a comparison of the two:
New code:
→Cycl
one1→
Old code:
→Cycl
one1→
Hope it helps! — AySz88 \ ^-^ 17:43, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

As you stated on your user page that Hurricanehink, Icelandic Hurricane, and you think that the Mediterranean cyclone season should have their own season articles, I too agree with you (and your supporters) that there should be a Meditterranean hurricane season article(s). When I also looked in Hurricanehink's and your own Meditteranean season articles, they looked almost like real articles, and admire both of your (and his) pages.

Hey, I noticed you made this on the 2006 talk page. It seems highly inappropriate to use :) when talking about the chance of a major hurricane. A major hurricane is never a good thing after all. Remember, however "cool" hurricanes are, the human effects of them are bad.-- Nilfanion ( talk) 19:40, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Hey, Cyclone1! Guess what, I've made my own two hypothetical or imaginery hurricane articles. After seeing your user page, I made two (so far) on my user page too. Can you check them out and see if they are okay or if their is an error? Also, one more thing, your own hypotherical articles are awesome cause they look almost like real storm articles. Alastor Moody ( talk) 09:27, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Hey Cyclone1, I think I have found a possible southern hemisphere cyclone. If you to see it look here. [1] Alastor Moody ( talk) 21:58, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

In his April Tropical Cyclone Summary, Gary Padgett stated that he will extensively reference Wikipedia in his future summaries. I have communicated with him and he has stated that he is "very much interested in cooperating" with us. He has also provided me with a copy of Jack Beven's weekly summaries (covering 1991-1996).

Here's some coincedences you may have missed. First, in the Allison section, both came from EPAC disturbances! 1989 Allison came from Cosme, while 2001 Allison came from a tropical wave that entered the EPAC then moved north into the GOM. Also, they lasted a long time for an early system. 1989 Allison lasted 13 days as it went from Texas through Midwest to dissipate in Texas again. 2001 lasted 14 days as it went from Texas to Mid-Atlantic. The longevities are a pretty amazing coincedence as well, with only a 1 day difference.
Next is the Olivia coincedence. 1971's and 1978's Olivia both came from Atlantic hurricanes; Greta and Irene. Both Irene and Greta moved through the southern Lesser Antilles as depressions, and redevoped into hurricanes in the EPAC. Irene was a minimal hurricane that became a major hurricane, while Greta was a major hurricane that became a minimal hurricane. Irene and Greta crossed into the EPAC on the same day! September 20. Both Atlantic seasons were above average (12 and 13), and both EPAC seasons had 18 storms form. That's all I found so far, but I think this coincedence is pretty amazing, IMO. Hurricanehink 14:09, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
Hey, I'm glad you like the page. As far as the alpha-epsilon, I am going to wait to write those because the NHC is making a new back-up list for 06 (if they hold to their plans), instead of using the Greek Alphabet when the list runs out. So I will wait until they release that list. If worst comes to worst and a Cat. 4 doesn't form in May, I will be quite disappointed. Weatherman90 01:26, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

In order to get a custom signature, click on "My Preferences" on the upper right and insert the formatting and text you want your signature to contain (or, click here). I personally included the date and time directly into my nickname to allow for special formatting, so I sign with three tildes (~~~) rather than four.
My signature's formatting is: {{SUBST:User:Cuivienen/Signature}}<span style="font-size:85%;">, [[{{subst:CURRENTDAYNAME}}]], [[{{subst:CURRENTDAY}} {{subst:CURRENTMONTHNAME}}]] [[{{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}]] @ {{subst:CURRENTTIME}} [[UTC]]</span>'''. User:Cuivienen/Signature contains the part of my signature other than the date and time, but to create customing formatting of the date and time requires inserting it directly into the signature formatting slot.

Why the heck did you discontinue your 2007 hurricane season page, it was amazing! I highly suggest you revive it. Icelandic Hurricane #12 21:19, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
I stumbled across your 2007 page, and saw that there was this discussion. You may want to note that WP:NOT a free webhost, so your fake track maps of the 2007 storms which eat up valuable space may be against policy. You may want to consider asking an admin to delete the track maps (as author request), and instead use text? Chacor 15:43, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:EuropeanWindstorm.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{ Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. - CrazyRussian talk/ contribs/ email 18:02, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
.......... (cue loud, drawn out expleive) What happened? This isn't just a disaster. This is a crisis, an emergency. (expletive) Where'd it go? This is not funny!! (one more expletive, just for fun) Hurricanehink 23:32, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
Just so you know, everything's still there. Example: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/rsad/gibbs/1992/1992.html . Replace the "1992" with any other year and it'll work. -- RattleMan 05:25, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
I think it's fine. It's not that long; atleast at the moment. Icelandic Hurricane #12 17:32, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks, but I'm sort of done with that. My ADD has forced my attentions elsewhere, namely Atlantic storms again. Good luck, though, with the South Atlantic page. Let me know when it's done. Hurricanehink ( talk) 21:26, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Dear Tropical cyclone editor,
As a member of the Tropical Cyclone Wikiproject, you are receiving this message to describe how you can better tropical cyclone articles. There are hundreds of tropical cyclone articles, though many of them are poorly organized and lacking in information. Using the existing featured articles as a guide line, here is the basic format for the ideal tropical cyclone article.
Good luck with future writing, and if you have a question about the above, don't hesitate to ask.
Hurricanehink ( talk) 20:03, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Just to let you know, Storm05 made the article on the mainspace, but I merged it due to lack of quality. Hurricanehink ( talk) 17:08, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
Not a bad start. However, a lot is needed for it to become a real article, and I mean no offense by any of the following. First, inline sourcing is needed for the entire article. See Wikipedia:Citing sources. Basically, every sentence in the article should be cited. The writing is poor throughout the article. More info is needed in the Florida section. The storm caused nearly a billion damage. The text should go into detail of the damage. The probably in the impact section should be removed, as for an article, it needs to be yes or no. Keep trying, and this could eventually be an article. Hurricanehink ( talk) 13:26, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
This should be made into its own article. I'm sure it's okay. It would be at least a start class, I think. íslenska hurikein #12 (samtal) 01:29, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

The May member of the month is TitoXD. The WikiProject awards this to him for his brilliant work in improving articles. TitoXD joined the WikiProject in October just after it had been founded. Since then he has contributed substantially to many articles, for example Hurricane Nora (1997), which is currently a Featured Article Candidate. He is also actively involved in the assessment of articles and so helps to improve many more articles.
Explanation of content
If you have a topic which is not directly related to any specific article but is relevant to the WikiProject bring it up on the Newsletters talk page, and it will probably be included in a future edition of The Hurricane Herald.

Please take no offense by any of the following. I was just looking over at the Simple English Wikipedia, and it is really lacking in hurricane articles. I notice some of your writing is a little simplistic, and you are interested in article creating. The articles are about done here, but there's a world of articles for you to make there. You are too valuable of an asset to have waiting around here, as what we're mostly doing is making small changes to get articles to FA class. Looking at your passion for tropical cyclones, you should consider it. It will need to get done eventually, and I'm sure there would be other people around here to help out there. I mean no offense by this, but your writing is a little too simplistic for here in places. On the Simple English Wikipedia, your work would be extremely appreciated, and you can write on just about anything about tropical cyclones. Give it a thought, and let me know what you think. Hurricanehink ( talk) 20:55, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Okay I will. That means we have a nor'easter in June! Normally they form between October and April. Do you know how long "NOr'easter Danielle" has been around? Also, does it look strong?; I think it might be, becasue I got a lot of it yesterday, but thought it was just another cold front. You know, if you want, you can add information to the page; it would actually be better I think.
There's a bit too much trivia, and it's worded a bit too unencyclopedically, but the idea for such an article is good... it'd need a renaming as well, but I think it could be a good article. NSLE 06:21, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
No problem; glad to help! :) -- AySz88 \ ^-^ 17:20, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
Ive made a template, along with a Hurricane scale for wikipedia, Which allows you to be put into one of the categorys on the Wikipedia Hurricane Scale. You can use it if you want, Its the same thing as Template:Infobox hurricane but ive modified it somewhat. Check my userpage if you want to see an example. Your welcome to use it too! °≈§→ Robomaeyhem: T/ ←§≈° 00:56, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Cool. Well, good luck with it and deciding on a format. -- Hurricanehink ( talk) 12:52, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
Huh? Me, nitpicking?? You can't be serious! Lol. Seriously, all those things would need to be done to get it to FL standard, the first one is important. "Always willing to help", well you've got a weeks worth of editing there right? You have done a good job on it so far.-- Nilfanion ( talk) 16:43, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
Wow, that's quite a find! The only thing I can think of is that it was frontal. Very interesting though. -- Hurricanehink ( talk) 18:48, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
Oh, very sweet! Thanks for the awesome news. Unfortunately, it looks like nothing on the visible satellite. -- Hurricanehink ( talk) 15:04, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
Good luck with that one. I found a few links that could be helpful to you.
-- Hurricanehink ( talk) 12:59, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Don't worry about the questions. 1) Sure, go ahead and add them in. I think it provides for better summarization once you have all of the storms done. 2) You can ask Nilfanion on his request page for the track map. Just list every storm since 1949 that you want in the map, and he'll do it. 3) What you want is {{ Cite web}} formatting. This is basically how you do it. {{cite web|author=Name|year=Year|title=The title for the thing|publisher=Central Pacific Hurricane Center (or omit the section if there is no publisher)|accessdate=2006-08-12|url=www.something.com}}</ref>. Do you got it? Hurricanehink ( talk) 12:40, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
The tracks done, see the articles talk page (it may need redoing) :P -- Nilfanion ( talk) 15:24, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the award, man. I really appreciate it. I see from your signiture that you gave it to me on my birthday. Now I think that's a helluva birthday present! I will always support WikiFreedom. I still resent the paranoya that has fallen over the Wikipedia administration over the past six months. Thanks again! -- § Hurricane E RIC § archive 19:53, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Help!, other useres are trying to delete my article but I objected saying that the plane crash is notable. Please vote keep on the vote page in order to save this article. Storm05 14:24, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks! Yea, I turned 18 yesterday. It feels weird being an adult... :) -- Hurricanehink ( talk) 23:32, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
Yea, I was too tempted with what I had. Of course, I am absolutely convinced that at least one of those storms on my page was a bonifide tropical cyclone :) Hurricanehink ( talk) 03:12, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Hehe, don't worry. That looks pretty impressive, but it's probably a polar low. Its location is at around 40º north, and it's October, which is just the beginning of their season, so it's not likely that it was tropical. Hurricanehink ( talk) 02:12, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
AS I HAVE DONE W/ HINK AND ERIC, I AM INTRODUCING MYSELF AND DON'T PLAN ON LEAVING ANY TIME SOON, SO WITH THAT SAID, WHERE IN FLA DO YOU LIVE. Here is my e-mail (i like talking more through e-mail so the fricken world can't read it) act32701@hotmail.com
Hey; could I suggest something that'd shorten your signature? Here should be some code that does about the same as your current code:
<b><i><span style="color:#00008B;">[[User:Cyclone1|→Cycl]]</span><span style="font-size:110%;color:#4682B4;">[[User talk:Cyclone1|one1]]→</span></i></b>
Here's a comparison of the two:
New code:
→Cycl
one1→
Old code:
→Cycl
one1→
Hope it helps! — AySz88 \ ^-^ 17:43, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

As you stated on your user page that Hurricanehink, Icelandic Hurricane, and you think that the Mediterranean cyclone season should have their own season articles, I too agree with you (and your supporters) that there should be a Meditterranean hurricane season article(s). When I also looked in Hurricanehink's and your own Meditteranean season articles, they looked almost like real articles, and admire both of your (and his) pages. Alastor Moody ( talk) 05:15, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
I added my name to the list on you user page, hope you don't mind Cryomaniac 21:04, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Hey, I noticed you made this on the 2006 talk page. It seems highly inappropriate to use :) when talking about the chance of a major hurricane. A major hurricane is never a good thing after all. Remember, however "cool" hurricanes are, the human effects of them are bad.-- Nilfanion ( talk) 19:40, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Hey, Cyclone1! Guess what, I've made my own two hypothetical or imaginery hurricane articles. After seeing your user page, I made two (so far) on my user page too. Can you check them out and see if they are okay or if their is an error? Also, one more thing, your own hypotherical articles are awesome cause they look almost like real storm articles. Alastor Moody ( talk) 09:27, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Hey Cyclone1, I think I have found a possible southern hemisphere cyclone. If you to see it look here. [1] Alastor Moody ( talk) 21:58, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
User:Chacor had listed two notable plane crashes up for deletion. Plese vote keep because those plane crashes are notable and an afd is virtually irrelvent. Storm05 15:25, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Useful sources of tropical cyclone information
The following organizations provide helpful information for writing about tropical cyclones, both past and present.
In his April Tropical Cyclone Summary, Gary Padgett stated that he will extensively reference Wikipedia in his future summaries. I have communicated with him and he has stated that he is "very much interested in cooperating" with us. He has also provided me with a copy of Jack Beven's weekly summaries (covering 1991-1996). If you want a copy of them, email me.-- Nilfanion ( talk)
