Topics from 2006

[edit]

Created

[edit]

The article "1915 Galveston Hurricane" was created in April 2006 by long-term, periodic user Storm05, as a full-length draft (with infobox), but with many spelling/grammar or accuracy issues and unclosed ref-tag footnote issues. Those issues persisted for over 2 years. -Wikid77 (talk) 09:02, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Todo

[edit]

If you're going to make an article in the future, make something useful, like an article on Hurricane Craze's LNSB list ;) Just kidding, but good start on the storm. Yes, you got a B class storm on the first try. The content is there, but some general todo is fixing some grammatical and spelling errors. Wording isn't the best in places, but overall, good job. I just can't believe the storm didn't have an article already. There's still plenty of room for an improvement. Hurricanehink 19:26, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Topics from 2008

[edit]

Second in the early 20th century? No.

[edit]

According to 20th century, the century began on Jan 1, 1901. Thus, the 1900 hurricane was in the last year of the *19th* century. 86.136.250.154 (talk) 00:12, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Retrofit topic year headers

[edit]

21-Sep-2008: I have added subheaders above as "Topics from 2006" (etc.) to emphasize the dates of topics in the talk-page. Older topics might still apply, but using the year headers helps to focus on more current issues as well. Also, I put a topic for "Created" at the top to explain the article background. -Wikid77 (talk) 09:02, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Quality cleanup from April 2006

[edit]

21-Sep-2008: This week, I have completed most copy-edit updates to handle spelling/grammar, accuracy, run-on sentences, and unclosed ref-tag issues originating in the April-2006 draft revision. There had been over 50 quality problems, and some of them had persisted for over 2 years. See details at "/Comments". -Wikid77 (talk) 09:02, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup from April 2006

21-Sep-2008: This week, I have completed most copy-edit updates to handle spelling/grammar, accuracy, and unclosed ref-tag issues originating in the April-2006 draft. There had been over 50 problems, and some of them had persisted for over 2 years:

  • the beach erosion was noted as "300 inch" but actually "300 ft";
  • spellings for "still" were "sill" (and "fatalities" were "fatalites") etc.;
  • several run-on sentences were split with semicolons or commas;
  • unclosed ref-tag footnotes hid unseen sections of text, with bogus tags (such as "</ef>"); and
  • the ref-tag named "mwr" had 2 conflicting definitions/URLs.
When first written, the article had been noted as a draft version, but was never fully checked for accuracy, spelling/grammar, and ref-tag structures. However, the problems were massive: perhaps over 50 misspelled words, verb problems, and run-on sentences, plus errors in unclosed ref-tag pairing. I think the draft preceded the quality/level check-list seen in recent talk-pages, so I think the check-list has been a great improvement to Wikipedia practices, but only if articles are not passed too quickly. -Wikid77 (talk) 09:06, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
