I am a Wikipedia user and weather enthusiast that occasionally edits weather-related Wikipedia articles. Since Tropical Storm Alvin in May 2025, I have been tracking almost every tropical cyclone on various websites such as Windy.com. The strongest storm I have tracked is Hurricane Melissa and the costliest and deadliest is Cyclone Senyar. I am planning to update tropical cyclone season articles from this point forward.

I first joined Wikipedia in 2024, but never actually did edits until November. My first edit was on 10 November 2025, giving a description to the Weatherzone article, which was 'Weather service in Australia.' The next day, I updated the description of Cyclone Mahina, specifically by removing the 'Category-5' query.^{[note 1]}

Later that day on 11 November 2025, I did suggested edits by AI on a few articles. These articles include Bowen River Hotel, The Ashes, Endon, and Peters Canyon. These edits only added links and they took <2 minutes to do. I then decided to do an edit Loppiner See. I added a citation to the lake's surface area and modified the infobox accordingly. I also citated Ampang River, but the source is not 100% trustable.

My next edit came on 18 November, one week later, on 2025-26 Australian region cyclone season. Earlier that day, Tropical Cyclone Fina had developed into a Category 2 cyclone but the article hadn't been updated yet. I decided to take matters into my own hands, but accidentally made an error. Thankfully, the edit was fixed within quick succession. I also updated the tropical cyclones portal to rename 02U to Fina.

My most important edit was in List of costliest tropical cyclones on 20 November 2025. By this point, Hurricane Melissa's damage cost was at US$10 billion, which would establish it as the 32nd costliest tropical cyclone on record, but the list article had not been updated yet, so I decided to update it myself. It took some tinkering, but I could publish my changes about 20 minutes later. Shortly after, I updated the article again, this time with the notes that I forgot about beforehand. The article already had a note about Cyclone Tracy, and I added one about Hurricane Melissa's damage. My new note stated that Melissa's cost is still under investigation and that US$10 billion is not final.

My latest edit was in 1983–84 Australian region cyclone season, where I added a detailed summary of the season, since the article did not have one. In this description, I said that Cyclone Kathy was the strongest, costliest, and deadliest storm of the season,^{[note 2]} and that Cyclone Daryl was the longest-lived. I also added that Cyclone 01S did not have a rating from the Bureau of Meteorology.
