New article

[edit]

This article was created by request of the TC portal. I've included all information I've been able to find so far. Sometime this week I plan on creating rainfall graphics for this system. The hurricane archive does not appear to be functioning today, so it could not be used to dredge up additional information. =( Thegreatdr (talk) 20:36, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rainfall graphics done. Thegreatdr (talk) 01:17, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for criteria)

Very nicely done article. Just has a few niggling details that need resolving and I'll be happy to pass it for GA.

  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
  • "left crop damage" - "caused crop damage" would read better. Also, what crops were damaged? Corn? Cotton?
  • "shelter/shelters" is used three times in the same sentence; not sure there's any other way to say it though.
  • an "of" needs to be added to "Heavy rainfall was reported in portions Alabama". Also, "a report one inch shy of the 24 hour precipiation record" - what was the record?
  1. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
    No OR, and the references are all A or A+ quality. Suggest wikilinking Grady Norton's name in the refs though. Also, is there a reference that states about the ships not confirming the wind estimates?
    Sure. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:24, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  2. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
    Article sticks to its topic and covers it well without digressing.
  3. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
    Article is neutral in its presentation, avoiding peacock phrasing and weasel words.
  4. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
    Article appears to be stable and without edit conflicts.
  5. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
    Three weather-map images, all appropriate, PD, and captioned. However, is there any chance that photographs of the "storm in progress", or of the aftermath, could be added?
    Not for that time, unfortunately. Photographs of the storm in progress, if any, would be in newspapers and thus copyrighted. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:22, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  6. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
    I'm putting this article on hold so that the above comments can be discussed and addressed. Shouldn't be too hard, and then I'll be happy to pass this as GA. :) The Bushranger One ping only 19:31, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    Sweet, thanks a lot for the review. I'll still be a few points behind you, so I think you may just squeak out a win for the first CUP round! :P ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:22, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    No problem! And it's always fun to compete in creating quality content, since no matter who wins, Wikipedia does. :) The only quibble I have remaining is the Coast Guard's ship name; but that's only a quibble; everything looks good, and this is hereby declared Passed. - The Bushranger One ping only 00:41, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
