Talk:List of Atlantic hurricane seasons/Archive 1

message: Although there is a brief mention about the season aspect of hurricanes at Tropical cyclone, it might also be good to write seperate article on hurricane season or Atlantic hurricane season as an overview of the season aspect of hurricanes and a brief summary of the more notable hurricane seasons.

replies: text: I've thought about starting an Atlantic hurricane article to cover them as a subset of tropical cyclones. Covering the seasonal aspect there would be a good fit. -- Cyrius|✎ 06:15, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

text: I am leaning slightly towards making it; since the Atlantic basin is by far the most well-researched basin, it could have specific information for the storms in that basin, the characteristics of it, their paths and steering forces, etc. Nothing would be removed from tropical cyclone though, it would be a companion article. --Golbez 01:04, May 21, 2005 (UTC)
So you guys are talking about making a page on the science and anatomy of Atlantic hurricanes?

text: Yes, a page about those aspects that are specific to the Atlantic basin. Note that, as the size warning says, tropical cyclone is already at 36 kilobytes. It's at the size where creating pages on subtopics becomes desirable, and I think a geographic division makes the most sense. -- Cyrius|✎ 22:35, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  page locked? 

message: Wow, long time to see to this page. The infoboxes for all of the individual hurricane seasons are done (woohoo!). Here rises the problem. We have useful track maps back to 1851, and based on the decadal pages, it seems that Jdore wants each season in the decade page to have an infobox. The trouble is, the current format we have for the infobox works by having the track map correspond to the title page, but we can't have a track map for all 10 years of the decade. What should the solution be?
# Get rid of the track maps for those 39 years (1851-1889)
# Find a way to have infoboxes for the seasons in the decadal article
# Make articles from 1851-1889
I personally vote for 2, but I'm not good with HTML or anything computer related, meaning someone else will have to figure it out. I am opposed to 1, but no opposed to 3. Hurricanehink 21:42, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm leaning toward #2 but just barely. It we cannot find a way to insert the tracks without screwing up the text or anything else, then they must be removed. But in the sake of consistancy, I say 2 for now. I'm against 3 because there just isn't enough information for many of those seasons. -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 03:42, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

text: Sounds chaotic and I'm not sure what the concept really is. Could you put it in a sandbox? -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 23:11, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

text: The naming issue is taken care of.  The problem now is just one of formatting: having 10 infoboxes on one page looks ugly and they may not line up properly with their seasons, given the current way the infobox is done.  I'm sure this can be fixed but I don't know exactly how. Jdorje 20:14, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: To solve that, I just added more text for 1881 and 1882. You need about 25 lines of text to make things work out. That is about 4-5 storm summaries, which is doable for every season. The only problem I see in the future is 1850, but that isn't to big of a deal. Hurricanehink 20:30, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Problem is that kindof depends on font size and window width.  We need a way to force a hard break in the page for the corner cases where it isn't enough text. Jdorje 20:56, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Ahh, very good point about the size. I have no idea about the break. Anyone else? Hurricanehink 21:10, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems  is all that's needed.  Use it liberally! Jdorje 20:04, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Good work. Is the empty space fine, though? Hurricanehink 21:55, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, it's not good, but it's not that terrible.  Basically I think we still want to fill that space, but if things don't line up exactly the  prevents the *really* bad formatting problems. Jdorje 22:21, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
