Tropical cyclones

edit

Welcome to the tropical cyclone WikiProject! I'm a longtime editor, and I like reaching out to new users, in case they need any help. What aspect of tropical cyclones are you most interested in? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:38, 8 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi there! I've had a long-time interest in the topic since around 2013, when I began watching typhoon warnings in the news as a 6 year old. I'm fascinated with the display of the forces of nature (and nature in general, really), as well as our ability to predict/forecast them. Recently my focus has been on subtropical cyclones (or any oddball/in-between weather systems), since despite them forming frequently in my region (Western Pacific, near Japan), there isn't much research done about them in my country, meaning there's much more for us to learn. I track tropical cyclones almost daily (whenever there are any) as a hobby, and I'm glad to join a community with similar interests! AluminiumWithAnI (talk) 12:53, 9 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

A barnstar for you!

Thanks for adding those old storms to the list of Pacific typhoons! I was wondering how old is the oldest known event. I came across the late 900s event in Japan, and I’m glad thanks to your efforts that it’s gone back a few more centuries! Keep it up. Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 12:22, 21 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks! I've been digging up old Japanese records that are pretty much inaccessible to the outside world (due to language barriers, as well as their obscurity), and I am honored to be of some help to the community! AluminiumWithAnI (talk) 13:15, 21 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Omg you don’t even realize how important it is to overcome these language barriers! By adding to the English Wikipedia, that’s going to end up in Google searches and future research papers, because that once inaccessible info is now freely available to all. Keep it up!

I'm planning to add dozens more typhoons from the 9th to 19th centuries in the short term. I might leave for a few months between autumn 2024 to spring 2025 so as to study for my entrance exams for university, but I'm more than willing to contribute whenever I can.

Awesome, that's a great attitude toward Wikipedia. Do what you can, when you can, and when you can't, no worries, it'll still be here! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:30, 22 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
