Ordering

I would think it would be helpful to have either headings or subheadings for each continent, as opposed to just having different types of regions in alphabetical order, with some being countries (e.g.: Indonesia), or some as wide as continents (e.g.: Europe). I would like more opinions on this, though. Basin could also work. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 09:27, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've drafted up a version in my sandbox. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 00:41, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fine with that. I'd oppose to going by basin, because some countries/areas are affected by multiple basins, such as Mexico/Central America, several US states, Thailand, and Indonesia. The most important thing is getting the article done! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:59, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To do list

The completely empty sections (or ones with incomplete/one sentence not talking about TCs) are:

The stubby sections that actually talk about TCs are:

Maldives
Seychelles
Iran
Japan
Philippines

The sections that can be improved significantly but have at least a full paragraph are:

Myanmar
Pakistan
Thailand
Mexico
Jamaica
Lucayan Archipelago
South America

There's a lot to go through, I think these are the ones that are the most critical though, which honestly is a lot. I think once most of these are completed, this can be published, but we're pretty far away from that right now. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 00:55, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I removed Sri Lanka (adding a bit of climatology and three significant storms), moved Micronesia (since I added climatology but it still needs the deadliest storm), and removed Comoros/Mayotte (having added climatology and a few storms). ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 14:51, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a few more sections. The big holdouts are Marianas Islands and Oceania. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:36, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the empty sections, every area has at least a few sentences! Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 00:00, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
