Hey, I just fixed the date in the name line (1995 to 1992 for example) and left the rest of that stuff the way it was. Anyway, if I don't put the image name in there at all, how is the computer going to know what track map to put in? That doesn't make sense to me.

Your work on the hurricane pages has been extaordinary. You should be greatly commended and hereby are. All of us on the hurricane pages are very grateful for the work that you've done. I am incredibly impressed. People say that I do a good job, but your contributions are often overlooked, even though they're greater than mine. Please accept this barnstar as a token of my appreciation.

Now that's just unbelievably cool. I could name the hurricane tracks for most of the modern hurricane seasons. Those were interesting examples (Drew, Okeechobee and Dog). You would never get those if you weren't a hurricane freak. The one big advantage UNISYS has over us is that they have, as you pointed out, coastlines drawn. Their tracks are also a solid line instead of a dotted one. But this is much better than what we had. -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde 13:37, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

I'm sure you've already noticed, but on the articles with 10 or more seasons on them (like the 1870s), putting the infoboxes under each heading makes the boxes conflict with each other. This looks somewhat bad. I tried alternating the boxes from left to right to left, etc (like is done with the storm images in the 2005 season), but I've had no luck.

Your track, Unknown 11 is a track of Hurricane Fifi. Before you add it to the Fifi article, I'd like to point out that Fifi continued in the East Pacific as Hurricane Orlene. You might want to consider adding that to the track. It's Unisys data is here, and its Unisys track is here. You could also make two maps instead.
This also applies to Hurricane Joan and Hurricane Hattie. Though you've already uploaded a Hattie track map, it became Simone ( track data) ( Track GIF) and then Inga ( Track Data Track GIF).
Joan's data is here and its track is here. Miriam's data is here while this is its track GIF. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 20:37, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

... I think that the TD and TS colors are (and Category 5 might be) too bright - they seem to suggest there's something more important about those storms than the storms with hot colors. I looked at your track map, and it feels my eye gets drawn to the green tropical storm dots too much there too. Also, the contrast between Category 1 through 2 might be increased some, it's hard to tell the difference, though white vs. yellow is fine. Category-5 red looks good on your map, but as a background behind text it makes things harder to read, so a lighter shade of red or pink might be better. Maybe grey, white, aqua, white, yellow, orange, pink-ish? Thanks for reading! AySz88^ - ^ 03:44, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

I was wondering where you got the info that Hazel was retired in the EPac because it was retired in the Atlantic? While I think that that is why it was retired, I am not sure. I also ask because Dora, Celia, and Hilda are in a similar situation.

Your track for the 1959 Mexico hurricane, Image:1959_Mexico_hurricane_track.png, has a bit of a problem. It was a Category 5 hurricane, and yet your track appears to show it becoming extratropical right before landfall. There is no Cat. 5 Red anywhere on the map as I can see.

Have you thought how we should do the infoboxes for the decadal articles? I tried the format for a single season for the 1880 season, for example, but it didn't work. I'll be glad to do all of them if you have a format for them. Should there be an infobox without a pic at the top of the entire season, or would that be overkill? Also, some of the boxes are big, while the article size is small. Should I just expand the seasonal articles to include every storm of the season (I currently only did notable storms)? Hopefully that's not too many questions, and I'm looking forward to your response. Hurricanehink 14:37, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Hi, Jdorje. On the storm track maps, it is hard to tell which end the storm started and which end it finished (e.g. Image:1899 San Ciriaco hurricane track.png), apart from reading the article and seeing which direction it went. Do you think that you could put some way of telling which way they went on the images (maybe just start and end at the start and finish(?)). Thelb 4 12:28, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
It's fine nitpicking. I'll try for the future, and thanks for the compliment. You yourself have been doing a fine job as well. It must be tiresome to fix all of the stupid errors that people should be able to do, though I'm sure that, as with me, reverting vandalism is the most pointless job you hate to do. It needs to be done, and I'm glad you gave that vandal a second warning. Just curious, how many articles are on your watchlist? It seems that every time a hurricane article has something new on it, you are right there to fix it correctly. Hurricanehink 13:43, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for brining this to my attention, you see, I didn't mean to make all those changes. What happened was, I was looking at the history for 207.200.116.5 and noticed he added "26 confirmed 39 unconfirmed" to the Hurricane Andrew article. Without thinking, I cliked on edit this page (on an old revision), and added a comma between that so it read "26 confirmed, 39 unconfirmed" and clicked save, this automatically reverted thet page to that revision with the comma added. If you'd like, I will restore the page back to what it was before I made that mistake, unless you want to keep it that way. -- PRueda29 Ptalk29 20:35, 06 December 2005 (UTC)

You wanted us to hunt them out earlier in the betting pools section. Well I found one that's in tune with a UNISYS error. In the 1997 West Pacific Typhoon Season (the Pacific's most hellish season), Super Typhoon Isa and Tropical Storm Levi's track are mixed in with the track for Super Typhoons Oliwa and Paka. You clearly tried to fix it somehow, but now there a two tracks for each storm: Isa and Oliwa, Levi and Paka. Your tracks for Isa and Levi by the way, are not from the best track but from the active advisory positions. The best tracks are here: Isa, and Levi. If your program is only able to accept UNISYS best track format then you're screwed. By the way, could you make the induvidual track images bigger? Right now they're about the size of a postage stamp. -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 21:49, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks. I had nothing to do last night, so I was happy to help a bit. I'm not sure if the category should be added to the infobox. It sounds good, but the infobox is mainly for the storm history, while the Hurricane Active is for one specific time. Maybe have a new template; infobox current, so that doesn't interfere with the other infoboxes. Not sure, though it could work, but you never know. Keep up the good work. Hurricanehink 13:34, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
At long last, they are all completed. Every last storm has every element of its report completed. There are a few technical errors (Talas' track image is actually that of Nanmadol, Noru's has the same problem. There are some errors in the North Indian summeries too.) Other than that, they are all finished. The pdf page isn't up yet but should be soon. UNISYS should be up to date in about 2-3 weeks. It's been a full year since NHC finished the reports for the Atlantic and E. Pacific 2004 seasons. These guys sure know how to take their time! -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 22:04, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
JTWC has a best track data site here: [5]. The track tables themselves (the links on the lefthand side of each basin page lead to links to the induvidual storm tables of that year), are hard to read. They give you a high-tech run-down on the basin pages. I've set up a more user friendly rundown here: JTWC Best Track Key. They have a more user friendly best track in the tropical cyclone reports, but they have different formats coinciding with changes on the website. -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 03:45, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
Yeah, I've seen that picture too. It's pretty insane. We should make it known that damage photos or action shots are just fine for the infobox. If sat photos or radar images are nowhere to be found or suck beyond imagining, damage photos or action shots are welcome in that infobox. Anything good to fill it up. -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 18:07, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
Sorry, impulse thing. I was aggrivated that people were still defending those stupid colors. I'd made countless clear points but those same stupid colors keep showing up on the proposed revisions. There are only a handful of good ones. I'll try and not let my emotions get the best of me next time. -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 01:32, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
Why does that have a template? This means that tons of articles get titles they don't deserve. For example, 1973 has an infobox and a picure, yet it is categorized as Category:Hurricane articles needing an infobox and Category:Hurricane articles needing a picture. And this is repeated for all the articles. Why? -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 01:58, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

I just think that you made a mistake in your uploading. I am letting you know so this error can be corrected. Miss Michelle | Talk to Michelle 21:28, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
Your track for the 1959 Mexico hurricane, Image:1959_Mexico_hurricane_track.png, has a bit of a problem. It was a Category 5 hurricane, and yet your track appears to show it becoming extratropical right before landfall. There is no Cat. 5 Red anywhere on the map as I can see. To compare, your excellent Image:Katrina 2005 track.png has Cat 5 Red on it. Thanks in advance. Miss Michelle | Talk to Michelle 01:30, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
They were just estimations. NSLE ( 讨论+ extra) 13:32, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
Have you thought how we should do the infoboxes for the decadal articles? I tried the format for a single season for the 1880 season, for example, but it didn't work. I'll be glad to do all of them if you have a format for them. Should there be an infobox without a pic at the top of the entire season, or would that be overkill? Also, some of the boxes are big, while the article size is small. Should I just expand the seasonal articles to include every storm of the season (I currently only did notable storms)? Hopefully that's not too many questions, and I'm looking forward to your response. Hurricanehink 14:37, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Hi, Jdorje. On the storm track maps, it is hard to tell which end the storm started and which end it finished (e.g. Image:1899 San Ciriaco hurricane track.png), apart from reading the article and seeing which direction it went. Do you think that you could put some way of telling which way they went on the images (maybe just start and end at the start and finish(?)). Thelb 4 12:28, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
It's fine nitpicking. I'll try for the future, and thanks for the compliment. You yourself have been doing a fine job as well. It must be tiresome to fix all of the stupid errors that people should be able to do, though I'm sure that, as with me, reverting vandalism is the most pointless job you hate to do. It needs to be done, and I'm glad you gave that vandal a second warning. Just curious, how many articles are on your watchlist? It seems that every time a hurricane article has something new on it, you are right there to fix it correctly. Hurricanehink 13:43, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for brining this to my attention, you see, I didn't mean to make all those changes. What happened was, I was looking at the history for 207.200.116.5 and noticed he added "26 confirmed 39 unconfirmed" to the Hurricane Andrew article. Without thinking, I cliked on edit this page (on an old revision), and added a comma between that so it read "26 confirmed, 39 unconfirmed" and clicked save, this automatically reverted thet page to that revision with the comma added. If you'd like, I will restore the page back to what it was before I made that mistake, unless you want to keep it that way. -- PRueda29 Ptalk29 20:35, 06 December 2005 (UTC)
I didn't name it Category:Mexican hurricanes because most of them have occurred in more than one country. Plus, most "Mexican" categories are "____ of Mexico" or "____ in Mexico". Cheers, -- Vizcarra 23:00, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
Why did you remove it from the Did you know section on the portal? It shouldn't have to be brand new to get on there. If it's an interesting fact, there's no need to remove it. -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 14:19, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
What category should I put the hurricane images under? Category: Tropical Cyclones? Hurricanehink 12:37, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
It doesn't really matter, but technically, if a sentence has a secondary thought, it needs to be bounded by commas on both sides. But thanks for helping with the article. Tito xd( ?!? - did you read this?) 07:33, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
I reverted your removal of the Hurricane Roxanne first Cat 3 in October stuff because it is true. The NHC says it at the top of their preliminary report on Roxanne. I am not kidding:) Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 21:39, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
You wanted us to hunt them out earlier in the betting pools section. Well I found one that's in tune with a UNISYS error. In the 1997 West Pacific Typhoon Season (the Pacific's most hellish season), Super Typhoon Isa and Tropical Storm Levi's track are mixed in with the track for Super Typhoons Oliwa and Paka. You clearly tried to fix it somehow, but now there a two tracks for each storm: Isa and Oliwa, Levi and Paka. Your tracks for Isa and Levi by the way, are not from the best track but from the active advisory positions. The best tracks are here: Isa, and Levi. If your program is only able to accept UNISYS best track format then you're screwed. By the way, could you make the induvidual track images bigger? Right now they're about the size of a postage stamp. -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 21:49, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks. I had nothing to do last night, so I was happy to help a bit. I'm not sure if the category should be added to the infobox. It sounds good, but the infobox is mainly for the storm history, while the Hurricane Active is for one specific time. Maybe have a new template; infobox current, so that doesn't interfere with the other infoboxes. Not sure, though it could work, but you never know. Keep up the good work. Hurricanehink 13:34, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
At long last, they are all completed. Every last storm has every element of its report completed. There are a few technical errors (Talas' track image is actually that of Nanmadol, Noru's has the same problem. There are some errors in the North Indian summeries too.) Other than that, they are all finished. The pdf page isn't up yet but should be soon. UNISYS should be up to date in about 2-3 weeks. It's been a full year since NHC finished the reports for the Atlantic and E. Pacific 2004 seasons. These guys sure know how to take their time! -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 22:04, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
JTWC has a best track data site here: [5]. The track tables themselves (the links on the lefthand side of each basin page lead to links to the induvidual storm tables of that year), are hard to read. They give you a high-tech run-down on the basin pages. I've set up a more user friendly rundown here: JTWC Best Track Key. They have a more user friendly best track in the tropical cyclone reports, but they have different formats coinciding with changes on the website. -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 03:45, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
Yeah, I've seen that picture too. It's pretty insane. We should make it known that damage photos or action shots are just fine for the infobox. If sat photos or radar images are nowhere to be found or suck beyond imagining, damage photos or action shots are welcome in that infobox. Anything good to fill it up. -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 18:07, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
Sorry, impulse thing. I was aggrivated that people were still defending those stupid colors. I'd made countless clear points but those same stupid colors keep showing up on the proposed revisions. There are only a handful of good ones. I'll try and not let my emotions get the best of me next time. -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 01:32, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
Why does that have a template? This means that tons of articles get titles they don't deserve. For example, 1973 has an infobox and a picure, yet it is categorized as Category:Hurricane articles needing an infobox and Category:Hurricane articles needing a picture. And this is repeated for all the articles. Why? -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 01:58, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
OK. I'll go back and fix the few I started. You had to add more work, didn't you :) Hurricanehink 20:47, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
I got through Beta, but I got to leave right now. I won't be back until tomorrow, so the Atlantic is open if you have the time. Otherwise, I'll be glad to do it tomorrow night. Good luck! Hurricanehink 21:27, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
Which category do you think the hurricane infoboxes fit into at Wikipedia:Infobox? Sciences or History? -- AySz88^ - ^ 20:51, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
This could be troublesome for storms like Hurricane Ivan? And I'll do the WPac. NSLE ( T+ C+ CVU) 03:56, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
I see many of the storms have been done. Is there a section that needs to be done? Great work with the infoboxes. Hurricanehink 21:54, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
