Hi there, welcome to the tropical cyclone WikiProject! I see you added yourself to the member list, and you've already edited the draft for Cyclone Narelle, so it seems like you understand the basics. Do you have any questions about editing so far? I'm also an editor from New Jersey, and I worked on both List of New Jersey hurricanes and List of New Jersey tornadoes. There are a ton of projects that need work, so I'm curious what aspect of editing you're most interested in, and the types of articles you want to work on.

Well, so how to cite webs for articles or contributions that we did,I see on any page there’s alway a citation act like a proof of that message FainVv (talk) 05:40, 23 March 2026 (UTC)

Is there a specific citation you're asking about? I'll show you how to cite a common website, which is a tropical cyclone report by the National Hurricane Center. First off, we are using Template:Cite report. Through coding, it looks like this:

<ref>{{cite report|title=Tropical Storm Andrea Tropical Cyclone Report|publisher=National Hurricane Center|date=August 12, 2025|accessdate=March 23, 2026|author=John Cangialosi|url=https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/AL012025_Andrea.pdf|format=PDF}}</ref>

It looks like a lot of random text, but there are a few key parameters. The first is the title - every citation should have whatever is the title of the page. The publisher is whoever made it. If it was a news agency, you would use Template:Cite news, which might have a publisher (for the website) as well as a news agency who made it (like the Associated Press). Next is the date - some websites don't have that. The accessdate is the date when you accessed the website. Then the author, and the URL. At the very end is the format, which you only need to indicate if it's a PDF or TXT file. If it's an ordinary website, you don't need to include that.

Hopefully that all makes sense! But if not, let me know what questions you have. You can also read more at this Wiki page. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:23, 23 March 2026 (UTC)
