Edts on 1928 Okeechobee hurricane
editI appreciate the edits that you made on 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. I would like to discuss them with you. First, most tropical storm articles start with the Meteorological history section. Is there a basis for starting with the Name section? Second, the name of this storm in Puerto Rico is already discussed in the Puerto Rico section with a history of storm naming. Did you want to have duplicate information? Is there a compelling reason to have it in two separate sections? PopularOutcast talk2me 21:22, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
- @PopularOutcast There was another article, 1899 San Ciriaco hurricane, that already had a similar section before its meteorological data section (before I joined Wikipedia), so I thought I could do the same to a few (not all) articles about significant cyclones that hit both P.R. and mainland U.S. If there is a reason to move the section somewhere else (like after Impact/Aftermath) or merge it with another section, then we can discuss it in the article's talk page - I have no complaints.

On a side note I would be rather surprised if you could spin tropical cyclone numbering out into a separate article, as I don't think it has as richer history or has been covered in as many sources as the naming.Jason Rees (talk) 20:47, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
- You may be right about that - numbering is less widely known than naming (because names are easier to remember than numbers; whereas numbers are restricted to characters 0 to 9 and up to two digits, names can use all the Roman alphabet and have no restriction as to their length, which may explain why PAGASA chose to use names rather than numbers for tropical depressions and upwards). I would start it as a stub, then slowly try to grow it as I find sources (and if you or @Meow: has spare time, you could also add anything useful you could find from non-US sources). Thankee for the invite! --SilSinn9821 (talk) 03:45, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
Testing new signature…

Possible new cyclone suffix used by RSMC La Réunion
editFor Desmond and Ekestang, I found that RSMC La Réunion called them 06S and 07S on their bulletin for cyclone activity before they are named, yet I am not sure if S is now officially the new suffix. 🐱💬 13:19, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
- @Meow: S is the suffix used by JTWC for the whole South Indian Ocean (both SWIO and the western half of AUSR), so the idea of RSMC La Réunion repurposing the “S” for SWIO cyclones is leading to some degree of confusion right now. Checking ATCF’s past warnings:
- It looks that, under JTWC, 06S corresponded to AUSR’s Kenanga (from the Indonesian namelist, I presume), while 07S corresponded to SWIO’s Cilida; Desmond was ID’d by JTWC as 10S, and it seems that JTWC never tracked Eketsang because I cannot locate any storm ID for it (the list of warnings stops at 11S which is AUSR’s Riley). So I don’t really know what to do at this time; if La Réunion keeps numbering its next cyclones with the “S” (and the numbers are different from the JTWC ones for the same systems), then I will consider making a note on the table template. If @Jason Rees: wants to weigh in, I welcome that. ‑‑🌀SilSinnAL982100💬 16:52, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
- While I see Reunion did indeed attach an S to the Pre-Desmond and Pre-Ekestang systems in a couple of bulletins, I'm not convinced that it is a full-blown suffix or isn't a typo. This is because Reunion is a full-time TC warning centre like JTWC, NHC and JMA and talks with the JTWC about systems and probably uses the INVEST designation. Looking through the warnings via their website and emails, I notice that they were not consistent with using the suffix S and go as far as saying "THE 07-20182019 SYSTEM" in one warning. However, I will send an email & check with them about it.Jason Rees (talk) 21:07, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Article of the month, by Jason Rees History of tropical cyclone naming - The practice of using names to identify tropical cyclones goes back several centuries, with storms named after places, saints or things they hit before the formal start of naming in each basin. The credit for the first usage of personal names for weather systems is given to the Queensland Government Meteorologist Clement Wragge, who named tropical cyclones and anticyclones between 1887 and 1907. This system of naming fell into disuse for several years after Wragge retired, until it was revived in the latter part of World War II for the Western Pacific basin. Over the following decades, various naming schemes have been introduced for the world's oceans, including for parts of the Atlantic, Pacific and the Indian Ocean. The majority of these lists are compiled by the World Meteorological Organization's tropical cyclone committee for the region and include names from different cultures as well as languages. Over the years there has been controversy over the names used at various times, with names being dropped for religious and political reasons. For example, female names were exclusively used in the basins at various times between 1945 - 2000 and were the subject of several protests. The names of significant tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean and Australian region are retired from the naming lists and replaced with another name, at meetings of the various tropical cyclone committees. Storm of the month and other tropical activity  Cyclone Fani was an extremely severe cyclonic storm that made landfall in Odisha, India on May 3. The storm achieved peak intensity as a near Category 5-equivalent cyclone with 3-minute sustained winds of 215 km/h (130 mph), 1-minute sustained winds of 250 km/h (155 mph), and a minimum central pressure of 937 hPa (mbar). Fani caused over $1.8 billion (2019 USD) in damage in India and Bangladesh and killed at least 89 people.
New WikiProject Members since the last newsletter in April 2019 More information can be found here. This list lists members who have joined/rejoined the WikiProject since the release of the last issue in April 2019. Sorted chronologically. Struckout users denote users who have left or have been banned. To our new members: welcome to the project, and happy editing! Feel free to check the to-do list at the bottom right of the newsletter for things that you might want to work on. To our veteran members: thank you for your edits and your tireless contributions! Editorial for welcoming new users, by Hurricanehink Every year, editors new and old help maintain the new season of season articles. The older users are likely used to the standards of the project, such as how to Wikilink and reference properly. Newer users might make mistakes, and they might make them over and over again if they don't know better. If anyone (who happens to read this) comes across a new user, please don't bite, because with enough pushback, they'll decide that this group of editors is too mean, and unfun. This is all a volunteer project; no one can force anyone to do anything. We're all on here because of our love of knowledge and tropical cyclones. If you find someone new, consider using the official WPTC welcome template - Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical cyclones/Welcome. I also encourage that if you know any tropical cyclone researchers, please speak up and try recruiting them to edit. Veteran editors can't keep editing forever. Life gets busy, and the real world beckons! Member of the month (edition) – Yellow Evan  Yellow Evan has been involved with WPTC since 2008. Since the last newsletter, Yellow Evan has taken 5 typhoon articles to good article status as well as created 2 more. Overall, he has created and/or significantly contributed to more than 130 good articles. Your work in the Western Pacific Basin is invaluable... Thank you for your contributions!

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!
editHello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to [email protected], so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at [email protected].
Thank you!
