| description | fvAbstract: We present the results of our research on Wikiproject Tropical Cyclones, and on the readership of articles about hurricanes and cyclones that this Wikiproject curates. According to our findings, Wikiproject Tropical Cyclones delivers the highest quality content of all Wikiprojects on English Wikipedia. We also find that both readership and editing of the articles on tropical cyclones are highly correlated with cyclones’ occurrences, which indicates that Wikipedia is a go-to source for many people - a finding important for policymakers. |
