Ewiniar's peak image

Image 1	Image 2	Image 3

I want to address this issue, the image has been changed three times during the storm's dissipation. While this is not a major edit conflict, we need to reach a consensus on which image to use. Honestly in my opinion I would go with either Image 1 or Image 2. My reason for selecting Image 1 is based on it being taken at the typhoon's peak intensity, according to the JMA. Additionally, its structure appears superior to that of Image 3 which in that image it looks that the storm was undergoing an eyewall replacement cycle of some sort, this image is currently being used on the main article/2024 Pacific typhoon season pages. For Image 2, I believe its structure surpasses both Image 1 and Image 3. Although it is slightly before its peak intensity, we can still use images that are close to peak intensity, particularly when the storm's structure is significantly better, which in this case is justified.

@HurricaneEdgar, @MarioProtIV, and @Typhoon2013 reaching out for your thoughts. TheWxResearcher (talk) 03:26, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TheWxResearcher: Thanks for reaching out for this issue, and this hasn't been the first time I have encountered an image situation. I am aware that it is usually that we go through the image closest to the peak strength of the storm, and for this case, both the JTWC and JMA as of now has its peak on separate dates (Image 1 and 3). Moreover I think there has been a discussion before, I believe with Hurricane Delta, where we have used an image that is showing the structure of the storm more other than its peak? I lean towards Image 2 or 3 for my answer for this, and possibly adding an option of "Ewiniar 2024-05-26 1740Z.jpg" image as it shows a more clearer eye for its structure. However I am open to whatever image is being majorly voted within this discussion :) Typhoon2013 (talk) 03:54, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Image 2 is better, and we should use that one because the eye is seen to be clear. In Image 3, it was slightly weakening as a result of moderate wind shear, although it was a typhoon. Wikipedia does not know if the storm peaked or not, just like in the Hurricane Delta. HurricaneEdgar 09:11, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question about GA nomination

The Nuggeteer has nominated this for GA. I suggested to them that it would have been better to ask here first as they're not a major contributor, so they've posted a query on HurricaneEdgar's talk page as they are the main author. That was a good idea, but as there are a couple of other editors here who are also significant contributors, I thought I would ask here as well. Is the article ready for GA? Is it OK for The Nuggeteer to get the credit for nominating it? Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 01:18, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, I think this nomination is too soon. For tropical cyclone articles, standard practice has historically been to wait for Best Track data to be released before pursuing any GAN for a given cyclone's article, and that only comes following reanalysis; since Ewiniar occurred less than two months ago, it will likely still be a few months before the JMA releases their BT data, and even longer before the JTWC does so (though the latter might not be as much of an issue, since the JMA is the primary Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre for the Western Pacific basin). Dylan620 (he/him • talk • edits) 00:43, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks. I've gone ahead and removed the nomination. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 02:03, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This part is pretty late, but I want to ask you a question, what is the "best track data" and where do I find it? 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 04:42, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Dylan620 Pinging. 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 11:13, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TheNuggeteer: The JMA's Best Track data can be found here. After each storm, the JMA reanalyzes the meteorological data (particularly its location and intensity) at six-hour intervals. Usually, it takes at least a couple months after dissipation before the JMA releases its Best Track data for a given storm. Dylan620 (he/him • talk • edits) 23:35, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I will complete a review of this article within one week. -Riley1012 (talk) 21:39, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Criteria: 1a. prose () 1b. MoS () 2a. ref layout () 2b. cites WP:RS () 2c. no WP:OR () 2d. no WP:CV ()

Note: this represents where the article stands relative to the Good Article criteria. Criteria marked are unassessed

1. Well-written

Strong winds and flooding caused power outages and disruptions of transport,... The wording here is awkward- change to "transportation disruptions"
...with eleven domestic flights and one international flights affected. change to "one international flight"
In Bicol, four people were injured and almost 6,000 people were stranded in ports... Add a comma after the word injured.
After Ewiniar left the Philippines, Lucena, Quezon was declared in a state of calamity. Add a comma after Quezon

The issue has been addressed. HurricaneEdgar 09:31, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2. Verifiable
Passes Earwig. No concerns with the reliability of the sources (they are all government sources or reliable news agencies).

Spot check: 1, 4, 10, 15, 29, 34, 42, 45, 51, 55, 64, 72, 73, 78- no issues.

By 18:00 UTC that same day, Ewiniar had intensified into a typhoon, marking it as the first typhoon of the 2024 Pacific typhoon season;... Ref 22 does not support the claim that this was the first typhoon of the season.

Adding a source to support the claim. HurricaneEdgar 09:46, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ref. 43 appears to be down and needs an archived link

Doing... HurricaneEdgar 14:00, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done HurricaneEdgar 03:00, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

3. Broad
This article covers all the information you would expect a tropical cyclone article to cover.

4. Neutral
No concerns here.

5. Stable

I noticed in the last few days there's been a dispute on whether or not to include the year in the short description, has this been resolved?
The edit war was resolved when the user apologized Please see their talk page. HurricaneEdgar 09:36, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay -Riley1012 (talk) 20:53, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

6. Illustrated
The images used have proper licensing and are relevant.

One question, the image in the Preparations section gives the name Tropical Depression Aghon, but the other images use Ewiniar even when the storm was near/in the Philippines. Would it make more sense to call in Ewiniar in all the image captions?
At that time, the storm was not named Ewiniar by the JMA; instead, PAGASA assigned it the local name Aghon, which should be retained. HurricaneEdgar 09:30, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@HurricaneEdgar: :* Okay -Riley1012 (talk) 20:53, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, that is all I have. -Riley1012 (talk) 15:45, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Riley1012: Fix all the issues. HurricaneEdgar 03:04, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, the Internet Archive is currently down due to a cyberattack, but I have added an active link to the article. HurricaneEdgar 03:19, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Forgot about that, that works. -Riley1012 (talk) 20:53, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
