List of South America tropical cyclones[edit]

I came across this list on the Main Page and was impressed! It has an informative yet short paragraph, contains a graph, a pic, and lists the references! Tennis Dynamite 21:48, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! As author of the article, I support. --Hurricanehink (talk) 22:22, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support just could you give a total tally in the intro? You know, so that I don't have to count the bullet points to figure out how many huricanes there were. Renata 17:51, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. It looks well-organized, and well-referenced. Lots of good information here, as well. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 18:13, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Good references, nice list. Wish there was a bit more flushing out of the "Deadliest storms" section, but support nonetheless. --LV (Dark Mark) 21:11, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • What would you recommend for the Deadliest storms? --Hurricanehink (talk) 02:47, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Don't know, really. Perhaps just a little snippet about the one or two deadliest storms that isn't in the list itself. Maybe a note about why the storms that hit tend to kill people (if something like this could be found, else it would be OR). Dunno. Just seems a bit odd. Thanks for your contributions. --LV (Dark Mark) 14:26, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • Is that better? I know it isn't great, but it helps explain a few of the storms. --Hurricanehink (talk) 17:59, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Another fine contribution by the Tropical Cyclones Wikiproject. -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ 13:33, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, impressive, meets FL criteria. Titoxd(?!?) 03:49, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I've just noted some instances where the conversion of units between customary and SI don't match. Example "October 8, 1954 - Hurricane Hazel [...] 100 miles (160 km/h)" and others. This should be fixed. -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ 17:19, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question: I'll put it up here where more people will see this rather than the articles talk page. Should Hurricane Beta (2005) be included in this article? It affected the Colombian island of Providencia and so a South American country. However, as that island is off Central America it can't really be said that the storm affected the continent of S America. Should it be included or excluded from this list?--Nilfanion (talk) 20:26, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • I think it should be included, seeing as it's part of Colombia and it couldn't go in any other list. I'm not sure though. To make things easier, I adjusted the intro to say "...Storms affecting the continent of South America or its countries". The same problem now occurs with Hattie as well. --Hurricanehink (talk) 20:36, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
