[edit] Image

I found a good radar image, but it's a PDF. Is there some way I can upload PDFs?

I dunno, but here's one online after weakening from Cat. 5.

It's from this website, so I'm not sure if the owner will allow it or not.

[edit] Class

I lowered it to stub, seeing as there's only one sentence for impact. Hurricanehink (talk) 02:12, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Wow. It looks great now. It must be at least a start class. íslenskur fellibylur #12 _(samtal) 12:38, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

What more does it need for B class? Hurricanehink (talk) 16:15, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Nothing. You were right to put it on GAN. I doubt any more pictures are available, so I'm not sure what else this could need. The person who reviews this on GAN might be able to help. --Coredesat 02:38, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Cool. Yea, there are some pictures in the newspaper archive, though all are copyrighted. Hurricanehink (talk) 02:42, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA Pass

Good job, as usual. Two notes before it makes its inevitable FAC run:

1. Consider getting a source on the last part, about it being one of four Cat 5's not to be retired.
2. A few areas could use some minor cleanup in terms of prose. It reads fine, but could use a copyeditor before you explore further promotion.

Congrats on another great hurricane article. --badlydrawnjeff talk 19:55, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

I think it should instantly be upgraded to A-class. CrazyC83 21:06, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

If Hink's record is any indication, this will be a FA in a month anyway. --badlydrawnjeff talk 23:20, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks :) Hurricanehink (talk) 23:29, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

You were off by about two weeks... too early Titoxd^(?!?) 20:15, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Almost ready for FAC

I think this is almost ready for WP:FAC personally. CrazyC83 01:41, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Would anyone opposed to me putting it up for FAC? I currently have Fabian up, so if there's some outstanding objections I might need some help getting it done. However, Edith seems ready. Hurricanehink (talk) 01:52, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

No objections here. CrazyC83 05:46, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Ditto. íslenskur fellibylur #12 _(samtal) 14:48, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rapidly, Rapidly, Rapidly.....

In the intro of the page you use the word "rapidly" 3 times. Maybe you should change this, as this article is being reviewed for FA status.-Hairchrm 06:16, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Broken link

The link for the last ref ([1]) is broken. --- RockMFR 23:57, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Fixing. Apparently the NHC changes the page name every year (so it is now at [2]). —Cuiviénen 00:29, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

And the Wayback Machine doesn't have a record of it, as it blocks the spider via robots.txt. Titoxd^{(?!? - cool stuff)} 00:32, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Try web cite - http://www.webcitation.org Raul654 05:51, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Nope, doesn't work either. Titoxd^{(?!? - cool stuff)} 07:56, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A face.

Is it just me or does that picture resemble a face with it's cheeks puffed up and blowing...weird. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by GothmogII (talk • contribs) 11:27, 24 April 2007 (UTC).

Hey, you're right! Brutannica 03:49, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

Since it's a FA, it has been vandalized a bit. Semi-protection until off front page? -Domovoi 17:50, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Nah, it's still manageable. Titoxd^{(?!? - cool stuff)} 21:09, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
