More impact, better intro, more sources, inline sources. Jdorje 21:28, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Done. What more needs to be done? Hurricanehink 15:37, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Nicely done. As for the pictures, if there's no copyright notice we can't use them AFAIK. Jdorje 21:43, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, and damn ;) Hopefully some pics will turn up somewhere. Hurricanehink 22:55, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA nom has failed

The Good article nomination for Hurricane Pauline has failed for the following reason:

The article is a bit short. -- King of Hearts ^talk 03:04, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Aftermath

There should be an aftermath section. Retirement and some of the current impact section should be put there, and I'm sure more info can be found. — jdorje (talk) 03:30, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA Nomination June 2006 (declined)

I've reviewed a number of these Hurricane articles now , this isnt there yet in the overall prose. Another concern is this paragrapgh

In Oaxaca, Hurricane Pauline killed 15 people, with 22 missing. [5] Pauline destroyed thousands of acres of crops, destroyed thousands of cattle, and killed many in the province. [6] International aid focused on the wealthier Acapulco initially, though weeks later food and aid were delivered to the stricken areas.

the opening say 15 killed supported by ref #5, then says killed many supported ref #6. its a duplicate of the same statement but when you check ref #6 the document says 110 people killed in Oaxaca. sorry guys i've declined GA on this, but if you want me to come back and review again just drop a note on my talk page Gnangarra 08:22, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Olaf/Pauline tango

I'm starting to look at the rainfall from these systems, and it's looking awful complicated. Olaf brought some rain, then Pauline brought more rain, then Pauline's broad circulation aloft drug Olaf back inland. Oy gevalt. These rainfall maps will be tricky...something tells me I'll have to create a combined rainfall map including both storms, in addition to the individual storm total maps.

Ugh, that's not good. Good luck with that. Hurricanehink (talk) 02:32, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Great job!--Rmky87 03:07, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pic

Not a huge deal but why is the CLASS pic in the infobox instead of the NCDC one, which is of much higher quality? -- §HurricaneERICarchive 01:01, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA Sweeps Review: Pass

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 it passed in 2007. 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) 22:17, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
