West Bengal cyclone

Contributor(s): 12george1, Hurricanehink

After a bit of work, I am finally ready to introduce to you the first GTC from the North Indian Ocean basin; basically it is anywhere in the Indian Ocean north of the Equator. This GTC contains of three good articles, two of which passed in the last 7 months and the other was restored not too long ago to reflect more recent GA standards. If you were gonna ask if other storms need an article, the answer to that question is no. Anyway, hope you enjoy this collection of articles! --12george1 (talk) 19:40, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: There are dead links in 2002 North Indian Ocean cyclone season and Oman cyclone. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 04:37, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the links that you tagged.--12george1 (talk) 05:08, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support, though I will be doing a copy edit of the 2002 Oman cyclone shortly (to ensure its GA status). TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 21:45, 15 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delegate Comment - Really would be nice to have a consensus before the end of the year. GamerPro64 03:04, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

After being asked to comment here by Hurricanehink I thought i would take a look over the articles before i support them.

Too start with i spotted that "Cyclone 02B co-existed in a pair, with the southern counterpart being Tropical Cyclone Errol, which was in the South Indian Ocean within Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre (TCWC) Jakarta's area of responsibility." - Except it wasn't since the Indonesian Met was not a TCWC until 2007-08.

I also noticed that you dont use the IMD journal report or the best track in any of the articles, which might help expand the details on the article. I also notice from the BT that the Depressions were was BoB 02.

Ok, will do. Actually, I'm not sure about your last sentence is trying to say.--12george1 (talk) 06:26, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dont worry i think its covered by my sentence below.Jason Rees (talk) 09:19, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think you need to do some more research on the systems numbering - i dont know which is more reliable Gary Padgetts summaries or the IMD BT, but the IMD have labelled each system they monitored BOB or ARB XX within their BT.
The 2002 North Indian Ocean cyclone season was a below active season in terms of tropical cyclone formation - Add to the SS and source please, as im fairly sure that 4 CS is not below average.
Have a reliable source saying it's below-average. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:03, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- What is this relaible source and what is it saying? - My reliable source (The IMD) says 5.4 CSand 2.5 SCS is the average for a season. Which would place this season as average imo since we have to allow for some flexability on the numbers.Jason Rees (talk) 19:34, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Ahh, there's the difference. This source includes depressions, not just cyclonic storms. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:27, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The season has no official bounds, but cyclones tend to form between April and December. - change to past tense and maybe add a line about the monsoon season.
- Changed to past tense, added monsoon bit. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:03, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
IFRC 2002 was the first season with no depressions during the monsoon season so it might be a good idea to do some research around this fact
- Thanks for that tidbit! I added it. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:03, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
With seven depressions and four cyclonic storms, this was one of the least active season in the ocean on record - i cant say im happy about the fact being presented here.
- It was removed. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:03, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
How many TCFAs were issued for 02B?
- Just the one per the source, reworded. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:03, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I have an objection to you using Typhoon 2000 and Australian Severe Weather as the publishers for the monthly stuff since it was a self publication.
- Removed. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:03, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
2002 Oman Cyclone is calling out for more research into its impact and aftermath - try digging around some government websites for this.
- I'm not sure what you're looking for, but I really can't find more information. Even though 2002 wasn't all that long ago, for whatever reason, there is little info on this storm, aside from historical notes that its landfall is fairly rare. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:22, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
For any references to IBTRACS please make sure that you are using their full names and have the names in the same format.
- Done. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:03, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
On West Bengal - please check the BT and combine this sentence into one. "Around 0300 UTC on November 10, a depression developed in the southwestern Bay of Bengal.[1] Three hours later, a bulletin from the India Meteorological Department (IMD) indicated that BOB 01 formed about 265 km (165 mi) east-southeast of Chennai, India."

I think I did this.--12george1 (talk) 17:19, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Am confused to why you are using Gary Padgett for noting a systems peak intensity rather than the BT or the IMD stuff.
- FWIW, it's a little easier to read and understand than the BT. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:03, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
More later.Jason Rees (talk) 18:50, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Will there be anymore comments made and if not, were the issues addressed? GamerPro64 04:10, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I may make some more comments soon but at the moment i waiting for @12george1: to addresses the ones i have already made.Jason Rees (talk) 04:44, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, I was waiting for 12george1 as well, since he wrote the season article, but I went ahead and made some fixes. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:03, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This nomination has been up for over two months. Is Jason planning on adding more later or will he be able to decide on whether to Support or Oppose the nomination? GamerPro64 19:04, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just so you guys know, I am still planning on finish. The remaining issues seem to be with the BTs and the numbering of the TCs. Unfortunately, I do not have time to fix this right now. I am leaving soon and won't be home until about 8 hours later.--12george1 (talk) 17:19, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delegate Comment - Anything going on here still? We've reached 3 months since this nomination started. GamerPro64 02:02, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

With over three months open and the lack of supports or any new constructive comments for over a month, I am Closing this nomination with no consensus to promote. Another review can be opened anytime. Hopefully the next one can go by more smoothly. GamerPro64 17:54, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
