    [[Deep Depression BOB 04 (2007)]]

    Unless you are going to expand Deep Depression BOB 04 (2007), it doesn't need to exist as it is just copied from 2007 North Indian Ocean cyclone season. If you are going to expand it, make sure you cite sources. If you are going to expand the article, try to follow the format on this article. If you just plan on leaving the article like it is now, it will be deleted. Cheers. ---CWY2190TC 20:34, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

    :The best thing to do when an article is not ready is to make a sandbox in your userspace. For example, yours could be User:Elena85/sandbox. That is the best place to finish an article before publishing it. I might suggest coping what you've done into that sandbox because the article could be speedy deleted (not by me) and it will be lost. ---CWY2190TC 20:44, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

    As CWY said above, the article as it stands is just a copy and paste. I have removed the link from the main article for now. Once you've improved it, feel free to put it back in. -- RattleMan 23:18, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

    Howdy!

    Hey there. Seeing as it looks like you're going to be sticking around for a while, I'd like for you to get to know the rest of the hurricane editors. We're really a nice bunch, and I can tell that you will fit in with us in the future. However, we'd love to train you in your Wikipedia skills, and how to learn the know-how. We have our own IRC channel, which is basically a chat room, but specifically for members of the Tropical cyclone Wikiproject. When you're available, we really want you to come talk to us, so we can show you some pointers, as well as get to know you as an editor. You just have to [http://www.mibbit.com/ click here]. In the second row (server), click on that and scroll down to freenode.net. Then, type in your Wikipedia name under nickname, and under Channel(s):, type #wiki-hurricanes. We look forward to seeing you on there! ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:16, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

    [[:Typhoon Xangsane (2000)]]

    Image:Nuvola apps important.svg

    This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of :Typhoon Xangsane (2000), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: :Typhoon Xangsane. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

    This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 21:42, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

    Hurricane pictures

    Hi. On the featured picture candidate page, there are currently six hurricane pictures nominated by you up for discussion. You're not breaking policy, or anything. Basically, the more hurricanes there are, the harder it is to get them promoted. All of them are outstanding pictures, and I have no doubt that most of them would pass; but the chances are low when you put them all together. Please consider taking some of them out and waiting a week or two? Dr. Extreme (talk) 22:14, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

    Hey

    Hi. I noticed that you have been creating several very short articles about various storms, and you have been nominating several images of hurricanes for featured picture candidates. While everybody's contributions are appreciated, the very short one-sentence articles that you have created aren't quite up to standard. Because of this, I suggest that you, being still pretty new to wikipedia, should start out small and learn the basics before creating articles. Don't take it personally; I've been here for over a year, and I've been with the Tropical cyclones project for 6 months, and I still find article writing extremely difficult. However, there are things that you can do. As User:Hurricanehink suggested above, you could meet us on the IRC channel and we could talk with you about various small tasks you could complete until you have a fair grasp on the basics. Again, even experienced editors find it difficult to successfully create articles, so it is nothing out of the ordinary to start small, or even stay small until you can create articles up to standard. Overall, you are doing well as a new editor, but you still need to learn the basics before creating so many articles. Cheers, Juliancolton The storm still blows... 22:20, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

    Hurricane Katrina

    You have nominated this photo for FP status. I think it could do with a little cropping and enhancement. If you would like, I could do this for you and replace the image with the modified version. I think it would increase the chances of getting passed, and I personally would like to see this photo in the FP archive. Just let me know on my talk page... --ErgoSum88 (talk) 00:32, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

    Hurricane Rita

    Hi,

    Of all the Hurricane pictures you nominated, I think this was the best, but it was lost in the listing. Try re-listing it in a week or so. Any idea what the red boxes are when zoomed in?

    Cheers,

    FPC

    Recently, one of the featured picture candidates had a few votes [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Featured_picture_candidates/Rhean_rings&diff=197322084&oldid=197113160 deleted.] Looking at the history reveals that you were the one who did it. Could you please explain? Thanks. Dr. eXtreme 12:45, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

    Re: Isobel

    Isobel shouldn't have a color in its Infobox, since it wasn't a tropical depression, or even a tropical cyclone in general. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:48, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

    Lol. It's original research. Thats why it's a subpage of my username. It is the actual nor'easters of that season, but the names and everything I made up. icelandic hurricane #12(talk) 21:39, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

    Re Wilma

    I know this is a little late but there is NO rule that says that you can't have more than one of the same category on the nominations page

    --*****Elena85******User:Elena85/2008cyclone 22:45, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

    :No one said you can't, but you should use some commonsense about the process. Having six different photos of the same type of thing at once is NOT sensible. Rather than coming to a project and trying to create your own rules, you need to spend some time around a project and see how things are done first. And some manners would also be appreciated. --jjron (talk) 07:11, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

    Comments re FPC

    Thanks for your comments on my talkpage; I was kind of expecting a barrage of abuse so was glad to see nothing of the sort forthcoming. I don't think your actions seemed to be intentionally particularly malicious or damaging, but it's certainly not what is acceptable in terms of a multiuser project like Wikipedia.

    Some users have said you've done some good work, particularly on the hurricane articles, which is useful to Wikipedia and good to hear, but I can't really understand why you are using multiple account names. Could I suggest that you pick the one you like best and just stick to editing with that, as it allows you to have all your work kept together and lets you establish a good reputation, and also allows other users to get to know you (could I also suggest you keep your signature as your username).

    Re the bans, I'm nothing to do with that, but keep an eye on Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Joan97. Re FPC, it's probably a good idea to keep away from there for the time being, but you may be able to consider nominating again sometime off in the future if all else goes well.

    Good luck, --jjron (talk) 09:04, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

    [[Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Joan97]]

    See this case. I've blocked your three socks indef, it's causing confusion and disruption. Stick to one account, Joan97. RlevseTalk 23:50, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

    Pacific typhoon seasons

    Central Pacific storms that cross into the WPAC should be in line with the rest of the storms. The only storms that are separated are JTWC tropical storms that the JMA called a tropical depression. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:02, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

    Hi, please follow the naming convention stated in your Edouard image. Please state the date, the storm name, and time in UTC. You can refer to other images of tropical cyclones. Good luck! IrfanFaiz 09:18, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
