Todo edit

This article is pretty complete. It needs inline sources. Jdorje 03:30, 22 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Split edit

This needs to be split and seriously checked for accuracy (02B of 2004 especially). I'm going to put up the cleanup and split tags when I get the last four images done. It should be split so an "Other storms" section can be created in each. Those will probably never have track maps of their own. I don't really know how to do references, but I think it would be wiser to wait until the article is divided. Good kitty 06:36, 8 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
I'd agree, there's enough data here to justify splitting if someone is up for the task of adding more per-season info. — jdorje (talk) 23:08, 9 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Errors edit

At the time of writing, the article incorrectly states the peak of 01A (2000) was 115 kt according to the JTWC. It was actually 110 (this was a best track downgrade). It is likely that there are similar errors elsewhere in the article. Remember Gary Padgett's data is based on operational information: JTWC best track is available and superior for the numbers and likewise the WMO/ESCAP reports give the RSMC information.--Nilfanion (talk) 16:20, 8 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

It was in the text, which I thought was a rounding mistake because you never get 130 mph. At least you can change the names of images at Commons. I found 2002 Cyclone 02A's track map labeled 02B, 2002 Cyclone 03A's under 03B, etc. The letter 'A' designates a storm that formed in the Arabian Sea and 'B' designates one that formed in the Bay of Bengal. These were mixed up all over the article and some of the track maps reflect that. Good kitty 20:19, 8 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
