Most Notable Storm

[edit]

I'd say that Ginger was the most notable storm of the season, wouldn't you?

I agree. Someone should change that, I mean, Doria?!?! Ask anyone in the weather community who Ginger was, they'll say the longest storm ever. Doria, though? Wow... Hurricanehink 22:23, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I never heard of doria but it apparently did $150 million in damages...a lot more than Ginger. Jdorje 00:57, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
True, but Damage doesn't equal notability. Ginger's 28 days of existence is more notable, IMO, than a moderately damaging tropical storm. Hurricanehink 01:11, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Todo

[edit]

A timeline is needed. This is one of those articles I've edited a bit, so I won't be able to review it. However, I'll see if I can provide maps for the storms which lack a sat pic. Thegreatdr (talk) 21:32, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Crap! I'll do that later, heh. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:35, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I've done what I can for this season map-wise. I can look through the Northern Hemisphere Map series for Janice on Wednesday, next time I'm at the NOAA Central Library. Thegreatdr (talk) 22:32, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewer: 12george1 (talk) 19:56, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There are several problems with the article, including two major issues. Here are the major issues with the article:

  • There is no "Season summary" section; you yourself said (here) that GA tropical cyclone season articles should have that section.
    • Nah, you misunderstood me. I meant it should have a season summary, but not necessarily that section. Just something to sum up the season chronologically, which 1971 does do in the lede. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:01, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • The section of Hurricane Ginger is "word-for-word" with the lede in its main article.
    • Yea, deliberate. I do that often. The lede should, in theory, perfectly summarize the article. If it does that, then what would be better in the section? That said, I tweaked it a bit per the first item in Lede below. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:01, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have numerous minor issues:

Lede
  • "At the time, Hurricane Ginger was the longest-lived Atlantic hurricane..." - I have two issues. First, "At the time", with the previous sentence, it seems like Ginger was the longest-lived Atlantic hurricane when Edith made landfall in Louisiana. Second, Ginger was the longest-lived Atlantic hurricane at the time, so it was longer-lived then the 1899 San Ciriaco hurricane?
  • "...it is currently the second longest-lasting Atlantic hurricane." - So judging the previous part of the sentence, it appears that something has surpassed this record since then.
  • "With thirteen tropical storms, of which six became hurricanes, the season was active." - So it wasn't "fairly active" like stated in the opening sentence?
  • Wikilink Texas and North Carolina
Tropical Storm Arlene
Unnamed Hurricane
  • "On August 6, a drilling rig about 230 mi (370 km) southeast of Newfoundland..." - Are you sure it was a "drilling rig" and not an oil platform? Because "drilling rigs" are actually on land (according to the "drilling rig" article), and that one is in the Atlantic 230 miles southeast of Newfoundland. Either way, wikilink whatever term that you use.
Hurricane Beth
  • "Halifax International Airport reported 10.49 in (266 mm)..." - Wikilink inches and millimetres
Tropical Storm Doria
Hurricane Fern
  • In the second paragraph of Fern, several units of measure are abbreviate like in the rest of the article, such as inches, miles per hour, and feet.
  • "...Fern left two indirect deaths and moderate damage totaling $30.2 million dollars (1971 USD, $159 million 2011 USD." - Erase "dollars" since the dollar sign is already in front of 30.2 million, BTW, there is no closing parenthesis for the "1971 USD, $159 million 2011 USD".
Hurricane Edith
Hurricane Irene
  • "...about 800 miles (1300 km) east of the Windward Islands." - Abbreviate miles, and add a comma to 1300
  • "...Hurricane Irene caused more than $1 million (USD) in damage to the banana crop." - Add inflation template to $1 million
    • Darn, I was hoping that would slip by ;) I figured since it was only a million, it didn't really need an inflation, since it's just a nice round estimate. Do you still want it inflated? --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:01, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Tropical Storm Janice
Tropical Storm Kristy
Tropical Storm Laura
Reference
Categories
  • Why is there "1971 in Florida" as a category, there was barely any affects from hurricanes in Florida in 1971; then why is this category not on the bottom of the 2004 or 2005 AHS?

Thanks for the review. I either addressed all of your comments, or responded to the ones I had questions about. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:01, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For making a significant effort to fix my problems, I will passing this article for GA. Congratulations, --12george1 (talk) 23:12, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yay, thanks! --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 23:59, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
