Critism edit

Does this article look big enough and well detailed to not be suggested to be merged back in the Cyclone season article, i put a fair bit of time and effort on this one. -- Gertzy 1st October 2006.

The article looks nice, but if I were you, try to get as much info as possible. From what I have seen around, articles of this length do get merged. RaNdOm26 17:21, 30 September 2006 (UTC)Reply
I'll put it at a start for now, but I think you need to do this to get it to B-class. Make the storm history into 2 or 3 paragraphs, turn that table of yours into sentences, remove the town headers in the impact sections so it's just one big section, and make each town a paragraph, metrication, and finally, you need references using inline sourcing. If you don't know what that is, you do this; for starters, just do <ref name="name">http://www.awebsite.com</ref>. When you get better at it, you can use {{cite web}} and {{cite book}} and {{cite news}} and all those other cool things, you might even be able to pass GA if you do this stuff. Good luck! íslenskur fellibylur #12 (samtal) 11:03, 3 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
Citations, better tone, proper capitalisation, WP:MOSDATE, etc. This is a stub, not a start. Too short. – Chacor 06:42, 7 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Merge edit

There isn't enough info to justify the existence of this article. It is also not notable enough, did little damage, and caused no deaths. Merge. – Chacor 06:57, 7 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Article has been merged since there isn't a whole lot here that's not in the season article. If more information can be found, add it there, and if a significant amount of information gets found, feel free to recreate. --Coredesat (talk) 07:13, 7 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

  • "The ninth cyclone and fourth severe tropical cyclone..." - What is a severe tropical cyclone? Link to the scale.
  • You know darn well what it is, don't play dumb. – Juliancolton | Talk 22:45, 28 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • "...peaking as a Category 3 tropical cyclone on the Australian cyclone scale..." - And since we've linking above, you can delink here.
  • "Cyclone Tessi had its origins..." - Not a fan of this wording personally. I'd suggest rewording to "Cyclone Tessi originated from..."
  • "the Bureau of Meteorology's (BoM) Tropical Cyclone Warning Center in Brisbane identified the system as a tropical low and began issuing gale warnings." - Link gale.
  • "as it approached the coast at 19 km/h (12 mph)." - Is the specific forward motion necessary here? That changes advisory by advisory, and 12mph isn't exactly notable.
  • 19 km/h sounds a lot faster than 12 mph, though. – Juliancolton | Talk 22:45, 28 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • "Streets on the island were littered with rocks and other debris" - Large rocks, like boulders? Otherwise, I can go to my street or any street and get you a rock lol. Nothing special.

And that's it. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 21:50, 28 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
