Off-season Atlantic hurricanes edit

Contributor(s): Hurricanehink, Cyclonebiskit

Really big, long-term topic. I hope you don't mind me flooding a little bit, but I'm too excited to pass this topic up. This is a topic of all of the articles on storms that existed outside of the normal hurricane season. They are meteorological outliers, for sure. It's the biggest topic nomination yet from the WPTC, so I hope you all find it acceptable! --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 23:00, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, after thinking about it further (and reading WP:PRECISION), I moved Epsilon back to Hurricane Epsilon. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:44, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is there one missing storm? Nergaal (talk) 00:16, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think so. The topic should include all off-season storms that have articles. That said, there are several off-season storms without articles, but they either don't have the information or aren't otherwise notable enough. I mistakenly forgot to remove one article from the template, if that's what you were referring. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:23, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, per the concerns of another hurricane editor, I went ahead and included all known off-season storms in the template. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:56, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why is Hurricane Epsilon located as Meteorological history of Hurricane Epsilon? That doesn't seem to make much sense. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books}

Unlike the other articles, which have a proper impact section along the lines of most other articles, Epsilson's is formatted as a meteorological article, such as Meteorological history of Hurricane Wilma. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:31, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There are 26 entries in Category:Off-season Atlantic tropical cyclones. Nergaal (talk) 07:30, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Two are user sandboxes. Juliancolton (talk) 10:36, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support but I suggest to pipe the articles consistently so they look uniform in the template. Nergaal (talk) 00:58, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I maintain that the Epsilon namechange is really silly, but the topic as a whole is quite a major accomplishment. In the interest of fairness, I guess I should point out that I wrote at least one of the articles. Juliancolton (talk) 12:41, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support, very nice topic. BTW, there are at least 3 dead links in these articles (see the book report for details). It's hardly a reason to oppose however. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 07:06, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Should be good now. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:08, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Close with consensus to promote. - GamerPro64 (talk) 22:55, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
