Re: GA's edit
You don't have to review my GA - hopefully no hard feelings there ;) You didn't do a terrible job on 2000 AHS, but simply put, there was a lot of work that should've been done before GAN'ing it. Check out other good and featured season articles to get an idea of what should be done. For starters, most systems should have discussions in addition to the TCR, and for landfalling storms, it's good to get additional data. Remember, the season article needs to have a summary on each system. If you're missing major information, then it's not a good summary.
Hope all is well, and keep up the good work. --Hurricanehink (talk) 04:11, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
Tropical Storm Peter edit
Hey, there was a reason I merged that article. Most of the record stuff you have is really just seasonal records. Also, this sentence is false.
"This was also the first time and only known occasion of two simultaneously active tropical cyclones, with Tropical Storm Odette to the southwest briefly co-existing with Subtropical Storm Peter on December 7, just before Odette would transition into an extratropical cyclone."
I'm assuming you mean off-season, but it's happened a few times before. Also, the project agreed that the naming trivia at the end doesn't really belong in the article. Also, the first paragraph of the MH relies a bit too much on a not-so-ideal source.
There's no need for every storm to have an article, after all ;) Hurricanehink (talk) 19:46, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
Naming trivia edit
Regarding this, I reverted you, since there is no need to have such naming trivia in articles. The 2010 Nicole has nothing to do with the 2004 Nicole. Hurricanehink (talk) 17:42, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
Re;New format edit
12gl, don't get ahead of yourself. I have many more important articles to work on than the new formal. I'll eventually get to work on 1992, then 1983, and maybe 1985. Sorry. YE Tropical Cyclone 14:07, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Storm of the month
'Typhoon Fanapi' is Storm of the Month
Early on September 14, the JMA reported that a tropical depression had formed east of Taiwan. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center soon designated the depression as 12W with PAGASA naming it Inday shortly thereafter. Later on the same day, the tropical depression was upgraded to a tropical storm and was officially given the name Fanapi by the JMA. On September 16, the storm further intensified into a severe tropical storm. That same day, the JMA further upgraded it into a typhoon. Fanapi turned west and intensified into a category 1 typhoon that night. On the following day, the storm further intensified into a category 2 typhoon. On September 18, the storm further intensified to a Category 3 typhoon and moved straight into Taiwan. It made landfall in Hualien County at 8:40 a.m. (10.40am AEST) on September 19, with winds of 162 kilometres (101 mi) and across the island at a speed of 20km/h. Shortly after its landfall, it moved south and again turned east and rapidly weakened into a Severe Tropical Storm. It had a Category 1 equivalent strength at that time. At 06:00 PM (Local time), the typhoon went back into the ocean. Post Storm Analysis proved that the system stayed on land for 9 hours approximately. The storm made its second landfall at Zhangpu County, Zhangzhou, Fujian province, China, at a Category 1 Typhoon intensity. The Storm caused a large scale damage to Taiwan. In the early hours of September 21, Fanapi weakened into a tropical depression over Guangdong province, China. On Septemner 22, Fanapi dissipated completely.

Could you review 2010 Atlantic hurricane season? Thanks! 173.49.140.141 (talk) 21:05, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
Re:Paul GA Review edit
Ok, but the only comment I am worried about is the fact that more details need to be said about the flooding event, if possible as the article is a little too focused on Paul itself. YE Tropical Cyclone 18:22, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
List of off-season Pacific hurricanes edit
Hey there! I was bored and was checking some fellow user contributions, and I noticed you were planning on working on the aforementioned list. Do you need a hand with it? I was just thinking yesterday (with the prospect of Omeka forming) that the article should exist. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:09, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
- Go ahead, because I don't know of very many of the off-season tropical cyclones in the central or eastern Pacific. BTW, anyone else can help. Yes Omeka did in fact form this morning. I plan on using the same format as it is on the Off-season Atlantic hurricanes, which passed a nomination of FL on December 17. --12george1 (talk) 19:43, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
- Yea, I was involved in that FL, so that was why I was thinking about an EPAC one. I'll add the list of storms, since I know them off the top of my head, and do you want to do the formatting? --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:51, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
- BTW, I am happy to help out too and thought of creating such a list of a few years now. Off season storms include Carmen, Alma, Nina, Paka, and Hali. YE Tropical Cyclone
- I have created the layout (here), which is based on the List of off-season Atlantic hurricanes, post your list under the "Chronology" section Hurricanehink, and I will see about making a table, I will also need your help with the Records and statistics, and the Monthly statistics.--12george1 (talk) 20:08, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
- Alright, I added the nine within the best track (which is what I think it should be limited to). I realized (after finishing it) that only one storm caused any deaths/damage (Nina), and only one other affected land (Winnie). Therefore, it shouldn't be exactly based on the Atlantic one, since the Atlantic one includes both deaths and damage. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:24, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Upgrading of TD 2 (2010) to GA edit
It was not your place to do this. If the review process was taking too long, you should have contacted me or TropicalAnalyst about it, like HurricaneHink has. As you mentioned in the talk page, you could not be a reviewer since you significantly contributed to the article. FYI. Thegreatdr (talk) 20:41, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
