Assessment

[edit]

Nice work Cordesat. I've left this at B-Class and High Importance for the moment-feel free to change that.HurricaneCraze32 aka Mitchazenia 14:18, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely NOT a High-importance. Lowered to mid-, though, as it's the first storm to impact Manila in 11 years. Still might not even be enough for mid. – Chacor 14:21, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
279 deaths is definitely mid-Importance, no matter where it hit (well, except maybe Haiti or Bangladesh). —Cuiviénen 13:40, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed with Mid. High is reserved for the long-remembered, standard-bearers (except for those flagship articles that reach global proportions and are loaded with subpages that get Top level, which only Katrina is so far). CrazyC83 17:14, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Todo

[edit]

More info. For example, what about the people being stranded in Philippines due to the storm? Surely there's more impact in the Philippines. Another picture, ideally of its second landfall, would be a nice addition. There's a discrepancy with the infobox. It says $681 million in damage, but the source says $629 million, all in Vietnam. Are there any damage figures for the Philippines? According to the seasonal article, there is a preliminary estimate for crop damage, so that should be worked in. A death toll box would be nice to keep things organized. All in all, good job for such a damaging storm in a short period of time. Hurricanehink (talk) 15:04, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What about Xangsane's impact on southern Laos and Cambodia? QazPlm 00:05, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Can't seem to find any information at all, other than that it passed over those countries. --Coredesat 02:25, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm currently in the process of getting some impact photos from a typhoon chaser on Storm2k. I'll upload them and add them to the article once he agrees to release them under CC or into the public domain. --Coredesat 17:39, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Retirement

[edit]

Do they retire names like this? Basically I would like to know if the (2006) is going to be dropped from the end. Good kitty 23:35, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, they retire WPAC names. If they do, it wouldn't be until the WMO meets next April and decides all of the retired names. I personally think it'll be retired. Hurricanehink (talk) 23:40, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Probably Bilis, Xangsane, Chanchu and Saomai.Mitchazenia V3.0 00:06, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
We're not here to discuss this, Mitchazenia. – Chacor 06:31, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Since there isn't great certainty, the (2006) should stay on them for now IMO. CrazyC83 03:58, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Because typhoon season runs year-round, they only retire names two years late - some 2004 names were only retired this year, while some 2005 names will go next year. At the earliest we'll only find out in 2008. – Chacor 01:51, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, correction to make: we'll know very, very soon. Three 2005 storms were retired in the 2005 meeting in November 2005 (Matsa, Nabi, Longwang), but replacement names will only be known after the 2006 meeting (which ends today). By that reasoning we should know which 2006 names are retired by the end of this meeting. – Chacor 08:25, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Name retired[1]. As soon as an admin gets to it this will go to the main article without the year designator. – Chacor 10:13, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good Article

[edit]

This article meets the requirements for a Good Article. I have reviewed the article, have found it well-referenced and the text looks professional. There is no reason to deny this article GA status any longer. Firsfron of Ronchester 02:11, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Respectfully, I don't agree that this article meets the GA criterion for breadth of coverage. As other posters have noted, it passed over two very poor and (presumably) vulnerable countries, namely Laos and Cambodia; and there is no mention of its ever having passed through them (as it must have done) in its course. Is this really "good" coverage for a Southeast Asia article? Pufferfyshe (talk) 13:26, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It might need more information, but what's there should be fine for GA. Cheers, –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 13:30, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Aftermath

[edit]

Aftermath reports still flow in on ReliefWeb, so updates are needed:

Also indirectly related are the Thai floods, for which the Xangsane page on ReliefWeb has almost-daily Thai releases up to mid-Nov. – Chacor 17:50, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

GA Sweeps Review: Pass

[edit]

As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "Meteorology and atmospheric sciences" articles. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. I have made several minor corrections throughout the article. Altogether the article is well-written and is still in great shape after its passing in 2006. Continue to improve the article making sure all new information is properly sourced and neutral. It would also be beneficial to update the access dates of the website sources. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have updated the article history to reflect this review. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 01:52, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rename

[edit]
This help request has been answered. If you need more help, please place a new {{help me}} request on this page followed by your questions, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page.

I don't know if it has been done or proposed in past but this article is may be renamed as Typhoon Xangsane(2006) or something as a typhoon of 2000-01 season also has same name.--Vyom25 (talk) 07:09, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This storm was retired, so it should have the main title. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 14:03, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Right to Know other storms that have struck Manila in the recent past

[edit]

That is why I've added links to such storms. It is important for the readers to note that despite having experienced storms, Metro Manila people and government always seem to shrug off hazards associated with storms in a fatalistic way. We ought to help build their Collective Memories, through media like (but not limited to) Wikipedia. That is why I believe Mr. Cyclonebiskit's reverts should be undone. I am a Filipino, I ought to help the Filipino readers understand this, and to convince the international wikipedia community to also do their part to contribute to disaster risk management and disaster history learning of their respective nationalities.

Unsourced content

[edit]

@Binbin0111: With this edit you added content to the article without a source. Instead, you wrote "sources cited in text". Of the two sources cited in the text under "Philippines", the first is a dead link and the second does not support your edit. Are you able to add sources to support your edit? If not, will you remove your edit until you can find sources? Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 11:41, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
