[edit] Cyclone Larry

Cyclone Larry from a year ago in Australia... has the name been retired and if so, the list needs to be updated. Thanks! Naysie 01:37, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Retirements are handled at the spring meeting of the WMO, which takes place in April. It's possible Larry happened too close to the 2006 meeting to be retired... or maybe we just have the wrong info :) --Golbez 01:41, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Add IPA pronounciation

Add IPA or do something, else how is one to pronounce (one example out of many) "wipha"? WIPA or WIFA or WEE...? etc. Or mention

"according to policy, one may pronounce them as one pleases in one's local romanization"

Pronunciation isn't entirely important, really. --Coredesat 23:26, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Then state that on the page, "if you dare". Jidanni 13:57, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] plain

THe way that this article list the names of tropical cyclones seeme quite plain, dry, boring and overwhelming all at the same time. I think it would make it more interesting to put the names in some kind of table. Juliancolton 19:03, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cyclone Guba

In the light of Cyclone Guba, I think we need to reference [[1]] which refers to names A through L coming from Port Moresby in PNG.

[edit] Merging in Post-2008 basin hurricane/tropical cyclone seasons

Post-2008 Atlantic hurricane seasons, Post-2008 Pacific hurricane seasons, Post-2008 Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone seasons, and any similar article I missed are mostly redundant with Lists of tropical cyclone names. What remaining information there is can be safely merged in. Comments? Objections? davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 21:59, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

I like the idea. The Post-2008 articles were only made to avoid having excessive future season articles, but you're right in that they are mostly redundant. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 23:02, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
I like it myself as well. All the content of these articles is basically name lists with what names replaced what. I vote merge. Hurricane Angel Saki My own personal NHC 05:41, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
Alright, the merge is complete. Good idea David. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:05, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Indonesian names

Starting 2008, Jakarta TCWC is now naming TCs north of 10S. Need to add those names in here. HkCaGu (talk) 15:46, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

From what I've heard, they don't have a naming list ready yet, which is why we don't have one in this article. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:25, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Names of Western north pacific typhoon

There are two DPR Koreas. It should be DPR Korea and ROK. One north and one south. I don't know which one is which, so can someone verify it and amend the content? thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.27.193.203 (talk) 02:07, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

What's wrong? Each country is repeated in each column to make up the 28 names! HkCaGu (talk) 07:43, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
