Todo

2008 USD's. This sentence is a bit awkward with what it's trying to do; State highways 42, 581 and numerous county and local roads were under at least 1 ft (0.30 m) of water. It feels short for such a modern storm in the US. Only two paragraphs of impact? There are only five refs that are not NCDC/NHC/NOAA. It doesn't go info any damage other than houses. Surely some businesses were affected, for example. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:34, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Should the year of this event be mentioned in the lead? WxGopher (talk) 16:26, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done, good catch. Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 16:53, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Effects of Hurricane Charley in North Carolina/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Spell out "150 mph" to "150 miles per hour"; same goes for other primary units
For some of the references, the publisher is before, for some, they are after – The publishers in URLs go after the titles

Gary King (talk) 03:15, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"and at its peak intensity it attained 150 mph (240 km/h) winds" - would read better if you removed the "it"/"its"
In the first image caption, can you (briefly) describe the path it follows.
"which was further extended to Chincoteague" - it reads like Oregon Inlet was extended... obviously not right, so clarify.
"The storm generally produced an estimated storm surge of 2–3 ft (0.5–1 m)" - could trim a few of these words ("generally" etc.) so it flows a bit better.

Edit conflicted with Gary above, but these are my notes. —Giggy 03:22, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments fixed (Gary's, too). I'll be away, so just let me know on my talk page what happens. Cheers, Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 11:15, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Something is wrong with the format of reference 9. Anyone know how to fix that? Cite web is a big blind spot for me. Thegreatdr (talk) 13:18, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed; you missed a "|" between "author=title=" Naerii 15:48, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"of 5.05 in (128 mm) of" – needs unit expansion
"65,000 without power." → "65,000 people without power." – just for clarification's sake
"150 mph (240 km/h)" – unit expansion
"Gov. Mike Easley" – "Governor Mike Easley"
" Impact" section still needs unit expansion

Gary King (talk) 17:52, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See how that looks. Thegreatdr (talk) 18:01, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Great job – this article has reached the Good Article criteria and has therefore been passed. Gary King (talk) 18:05, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

@Destroyeraa, SMB99thx, Chicdat, I like hurricanes, Jasper Deng, Hurricanehink, and LightandDark2000: we should merge this article to Hurricane Charley. Low damage and low information. --HurricaneTracker495 (talk) 21:39, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support third article to have a merge discussion talking about the same topic in one day made by the same user.. wow I agree with Hurricanehinks suggestions for making Florida a split and then the rest of the states an article. I like hurricanes 21:45, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support the merge, only to Effects of Hurricane Charley in the Carolinas. Otherwise, I strongly oppose the merge SMB9 9thx my edits 22:36, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- @SMB99thx: why? The Carolinas combined only saw $45 million. Barely an impact IMO. And zero deaths. HurricaneTracker495 (talk) 00:55, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - There is a lot of GAs going to be lost because of likely PHS mergers, and we may drop to less than 1000 now. SMB9 9thx my edits 01:01, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- - - Still, they were on extremely lax GA rules. Also it appears tonight I will reach my 700th edit. HurricaneTracker495 (talk) 01:15, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - How about this. We merge them together and add the impacts from Florida so it's Effects of Hurricane Charley in the mainland United States. --HurricaneTracker495 (talk) 01:17, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      I agree with this, and Jamaica into Effects of Hurricane Charley in the Carribean. SMB9 9thx my edits 01:20, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      - No the carribbean is not enough to justify an article. HurricaneTracker495 (talk) 01:30, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No to merging the articles together to a mainland US one. Charley's effects were worst in Florida. I'd merge all of the articles but split off Florida, perhaps to an article for Effects of the 2004 Atlantic hurricane season in Florida, given a lot of the overlap between Charley/Frances/Jeanne. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:16, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @Hurricanehink: and Ivan. I think that’s best idea, but also renmant made landfall in Montauk, NY, close to my location. HurricaneTracker495 (talk) 02:46, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I think this could be a best solution moving forward, but this is enough. SMB9 9thx my edits 07:25, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Hurricanehink; @HurricaneTracker495: please read WP:GACN.--Jasper Deng (talk) 06:15, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I supported merging this, for what it's worth, just to the Charley main article, not to a split US article. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:24, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I also agree per Hurricanehink and Jasper Deng.🌀Weatherman27🏈 (chat with me!). 08:59, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment See WT:WPTC#Merge discussions getting out of hand: moratorium proposal. I think we should step away from merges for 3-5 months, and focus on creating. 🐔 Chicdat ^{Bawk to me!} 12:52, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
