storm name list issue? edit

So when viewing this article signed out, the eastern pacific storm names have been replaced with country names. When viewing the article signed in, everything is normal. When I clicked on "edit" while signed out, it showed the proper storm names, but when I exited it showed the country names again. Also at the top of the section it says "This is the new list, with the exception of the name Imelda, which replaced India.", with "India" being a link leading to the page of Hurricane Ingrid, which was an Atlantic hurricane. Is this an issue? Or is it on my end? And if it's an issue how can we fix it? Thanks. FlappyBird73 (talk) 19:53, 14 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

It's not an issue on your end, someone vandalised the list yesterday and has been reverted. ~ KN2731 {t · c} 13:49, 15 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Start of season edit

@CycloneYoris: per WP:BRD you shouldn't be reverting after you get reverted on this matter.

For last year, NHC did not issue a TWO until 5 am on the 15th PDT, [1], and clearly stated that that was the first day of the season. It's clearly premature until midnight PDT.--Jasper Deng (talk) 00:34, 15 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Jasper Deng: Fair enough, guess it doesn't hurt to wait until midnight. CycloneYoris talk! 00:50, 15 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Break after TOC edit

I don't care about this nearly enough to enter into prolonged discussions, but I'd like to point out that it's only the 2016+ articles who use this formatting; and on none of them it looks as crappy as here, because they actually have TOCs that are long enough to match the infobox. While this article is still as short as it is, you might consider removing the {{clear}} to avoid the forcing of large amounts of whitespace. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:45, 2 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Actually, no, this formatting is used on all hurricane/cyclone season articles since the beginning of the Satellite Era (or at least, they should). The reason why you don't see that syntax on some articles is because those articles have a large enough lead to push the content from the other sections all the way below the main season infobox. I don't know what device you're using, but it looks much nicer when all of the stuff after the article lead is nicely pushed below the main infobox - the article looks too crammed otherwise. Even on shorter articles, it still looks better with the current clearing format, and any odd "whitespace" issues will eventually disappear once the article has been expanded upon enough. This type of formatting is also used on numerous other kinds of articles (mainly lists), and I don't think that we should change the current practice over this small issue.

Weaker storms edit

Hurricane Lorena article edit

@CycloneYoris, Es204L, and Typhoon2013: Do you think we can delete the redirect for Hurricane Lorena (2019) and convert in into an article? Jayab314 22:00, 20 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

There is a draft at Draft:Hurricane Lorena (2019). If more content can be found, it should be added there then moved over the redirect to preserve the page history. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 09:33, 21 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

M before L edit

For the record for anyone else seeing this, it does turn out apparently that tropical cyclones are listed here in Tropical Depression order rather than Tropical Storm order, just in case someone else makes the same mistake as I did. Another example of this is in 2011. Pie3141527182 (talk) 20:00, 23 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hrm. I was thinking that a hidden warning might be appropriate here. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:04, 23 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
Done. Pie3141527182 (talk) 22:08, 23 September 2019 (UTC)Reply

Should Raymond get an Article? edit

I just wanted to note that, although Raymond was weak and unaffected land as a tropical storm, I did read numerous reports of snow- and rain-related damage and floods in association with Raymond. I think it may deserve its own article, depending on the amount of damage it caused. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JoeMT615 (talkcontribs) 14:21, 22 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
