Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tropical cyclones/WikiReader

Scope

Should we include all of the season articles? What sort of non-retired storm articles should be included? Another thought to make this better defined would be to limit it from 1950 to the near present (2000? 2005?). Comments, please! ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:22, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

I'd include the articles that are listed in {{tropical cyclone}}, perhaps, and also include important seasons (e.g. 1979, 2004, 2005). Anything that is featured might be nice to include... Titoxd^{(?!? - cool stuff)} 01:07, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

You mean like storm surge, tropical cyclogenesis, and other such terms found in a basic tropical cyclone encyclopedia? We have a few current seasons featured, as well as 1988, but that would seem awkward just to include those few. Alternatively, we could include a list of stats from each season, perhaps as part of a remodeled List of Atlantic hurricane seasons page. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:14, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Well, crucial seasons like 2005 should be in there, as well as the modified stats list. Titoxd^{(?!? - cool stuff)} 02:08, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

EPAC?

Every EPAC retired storm is GA or better, and every EPAC Cat. 5 (sans one or two) is GA or better. It would be quite easy to throw them in. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:24, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

We can. All Atlantic retired storms comprise 199 pages of pure text (no images, templates, infoboxes, references, section headings or anything like that), and we'd be looking at a WikiReader of just barely under 100,000 words (the count yielded 99,818 words, without including Cat 5 non-retired storms).

Ehh, with 200 pages, adding EPAC storms might be a bit much. I think we should stick to just Atlantic (1965-2005). ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:23, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
