This article seems to lack information about several aspects such as preparations made besides watches and warnings, the impact in Haiti, and aftermath, the last of which there is no section for. Also, the impact section overall looks small for a storm this deadly. —JCMLuis 💬 18:30, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd argue that a storm from 1988 likely is not going to be as complete as we may like for a modern system of this strength and deadliness. But I'm willing to help keep this at a GA if you could detail some more specific places in the prose where it's lacking. JayTee⛈️ 21:32, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JayTee32:
  • In the meteorological history section, the third and fourth paragraph is almost entirely supported by one source, being HURDAT, but it failed to verify the text. It could probably be supported by this report or this website.
  Done The entire Met history was a mess of outdated operational data and reports. I consolidated it into five references: two post-storm reports, HURDAT, and two operational discussions for variety. JayTee⛈️ 19:09, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The preparations section is missing information about evacuations and measures taken by national governments, and maybe assistance from organizations or other nations before the storm's arrival (if there was any). There is a report on Haiti by USAID that I think contains a lot of useful information.
  Done Added a paragraph with information from the report to preparations, will extend on in aftermath. Lmk if you find more sources for preps. Also worth noting that two giant paragraphs with the exact timing of all the watches and warnings is probably superfluous but I didn't touch it in respect to whoever added it during this article's first GA review.

Here are two newspapers about people evacuating in Texas and also in Louisiana (in the second newspaper): 1 2 —JCMLuis 💬 15:09, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Added to preparations. JayTee⛈️ 01:12, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  Done Expanded on Caribbean impact section and updated divisions of Impact JayTee⛈️ 03:13, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • There's likely a lot of newspapers that can bring up information that could be put into the article, such as this newspaper.
  • And of course, there is no section for the aftermath, which I think the Haiti report could be useful in.
  Done Both points addressed, see other December 10th comment below. JayTee⛈️ 00:06, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@JCMLuis Thank you for the checklist, and thank God for Thanksgiving break. I'll get to work on this next week. JayTee⛈️ 00:56, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JCMLuis Just wanted to give you an update, I'm still working on adding some more newspapers to the article and expanding the aftermath. Looking to finish up on Monday night. Rest of bullets have been addressed so far. JayTee⛈️ 21:22, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JCMLuis Sorry to ping you for the third time but I've expanded the Impact section quite a bit and the Aftermath section is created. I was struggling to find many sources on the clean-up but managed to flesh out a chunk of text. All of your points have now been addressed. JayTee⛈️ 00:05, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JayTee32: I would expand Haiti's aftermath, but everything else looks good. —JCMLuis 💬 00:37, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Would you be able to help me find sources on that? I've had trouble finding much information about Haiti after the hurricane and what specific measures were taken for recovery. If you can find the texts I'll incorporate the info into the article and do the rest. JayTee⛈️ 02:39, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JayTee32: The USAID report that I had brought up should've been used in the section. —JCMLuis 💬 03:09, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JCMLuis Added and expanded. JayTee⛈️ 02:08, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
