Hey there Hurricane Wind and Fire, I saw you joined the WPTC, welcome! I wondered what aspect of tropical cyclones you're most interested in. Maybe it's newer storms, maybe it's climatology, maybe it's one of those lists of tropical cyclones in a certain area. I just wrote List of Queensland tropical cyclones, as an example of that last category. Just wanted to reach out, and see if you needed any help, or suggestions. We can use all of the editors we can get, there are thousands of articles that need work! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:05, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the message, Hurricanehink. I'm the most interested in the effects of newer storms. I'll be more involved with WPTC when the 2025 Atlantic and Pacific hurricane seasons begin. They're the basins I'm the most interested in. Before I created my account, I was studying the WPTC pages and I think I'm familiar with the guidelines. Again, thank you for the message. Hurricane Wind and Fire (talk) 19:41, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
So you're only interested in writing about active storms? What about the off-season, it might be a bit before we get any storms :P ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:44, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the late response. What I meant is writing about storms in recent years, typically from 2010 to now. Hurricane Wind and Fire (talk) 01:25, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nice, there are a lot important storms in that time period. Do you have any interest in helping with any of the lists? A lot of them need updating specifically for storms from the last 15 years. For example, List of Florida hurricanes (2000-present) has fallen behind when it comes to references, which is why it's no longer a featured list. Similar problems are in List_of_North_Carolina_hurricanes_(2000–present) with the newer storms. Or maybe are you more interested in working on an existing article and wanna help improve it? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:53, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As of now, I think I'll mainly work on improving existing articles, especially expanding stub and start class articles. Updating lists does sound interesting, though. Hurricane Wind and Fire (talk) 02:54, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If you really wanted to improve a stub or start class article, there are a few options, like Ernesto from last year (which needs expansion for Caribbean and Bermuda impacts), similar story for Hurricane Earl (2022), Hurricane Grace needs more Mexican impacts, and Tropical Storm Gordon (2018) mostly needs to be better organized and fleshed out. Those are the only start articles in the Atlantic, but there are more articles outside of the Atlantic that need work. As for the lists, I just finished List of Australia tropical cyclones. It's a good way of listing every single storm for a given state. So it comes down to if you want to focus on a specific storm and work on a single article, or if you like the idea of a series of storms. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:56, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think working on and expanding a single article interests me the most. I've done that with some ghost town and wildfire articles and I enjoyed that work. Hurricane Wind and Fire (talk) 13:39, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Love that! I've worked on many storm articles over the years. Do any storms stand out that you want to work on? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:20, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As of now, I might want to begin working on Ernesto and Earl. And I didn't realize until now that there aren't a lot of start class Atlantic basin articles. I might want to work on improving storms that had their names retired and are still a C-class, such as Michael. Hurricane Wind and Fire (talk) 00:01, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I love that you might be willing to work on something significant like Michael, but if you don't mind me suggesting, start with something easier, and work your way up. Earl, for example, only affected the northeast Caribbean, Bermuda, and Canada. Those areas are a bit easier to find information on than, say, Central America, Mexico, or Cuba, where you might have a language barrier. Same story with Ernesto. Either way, do you think you know what you need to do for either article? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:06, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the advice. I think Earl would be a good way for me to start off. I think I need to update the article with the Tropical Cyclone Reports? Hurricane Wind and Fire (talk) 00:24, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Bingo, use the tropical cyclone reports, use the advisories, use the tropical weather outlooks before the storm formed, and anything else to flesh out the met history. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:43, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the very late response. I must've checked my talk page without going down to this section so I didn't see the notification. Thank you for the help. I'll start working on Earl once I find some time (I have a busy week). Again, thank you so much for the advice. Hurricane Wind and Fire (talk) 23:48, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's never a problem. There's no deadline for Wikipedia :) ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:49, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
