The Solomon Islands edit
I see from the edit history of the 2023–24 Australian region cyclone season & 2023–24 South Pacific cyclone season, that you were not sure which basin that the Solomon Islands counted towards. The answer is that it counts towards both assuming that a tropical cyclone exists in both basins (eg Namu 1986), since the Solomon Islands and in-particular the island of Guadalcanal span 160E. If not then it will only count towards the basin that it exists in (eg Zoe 2002-03). Hope this helps.Jason Rees (talk) 12:42, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
Welcome! edit
Hi there JustThatNerdyNerd. I saw you joined the tropical cyclone WikiProject. We're always glad to get new members, as there are a lot of tasks to do, from keeping current articles up to date, to copyediting, to expanding and writing articles and lists. I'm curious, what aspect of tropical cyclones are you most interested in? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:01, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Hurricanehink Mostly keeping live Current Storm info up to date. Fixing and archiving references too. I do occasionally write some things in the main article for a cyclone but only things like, 'On 4 February, TC Lincoln developed into a TL.' Thanks!

- Awesome. Yea, the archiving of references is one of those things that sounds minor in theory, but sometimes those advisories contain valuable information that doesn't pop up elsewhere. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:29, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
Your criteria of tropical cyclone notability edit
Hello, I have recently noticed on the merge proposal of Tropical Depression 05F that your criteria of notability for a standalone article were that "it has to have bad land impacts and/or general wind strength". However, there are things like the 2006 Central Pacific cyclone, the 2005 Azores subtropical storm, Hurricane Grace (1991), Hurricane Epsilon (2005), Tropical Storm Zeta (2005), Hurricane Dora (2023), Hurricane Hector (2018), Hurricane Kilo, Hurricane Genevieve (2014), and Hurricane Olga that get their own (currently) undisputed standalone articles, and they do not fit your criteria of notability. I'm not trying to change your mind, it's just that sometimes there are other things beyond those impacts that would also be noteworthy of an article. Thank you! 2003 LN6 22:16, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
