Hurricane v. thunder

Hurricane is different than thunders. These two shall not be mixed. I think at some points in the article these two meanings are used interchangeablyMikhail.bulgakov (talk) 22:16, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Notice Given

Unfortunately, this article has not withstood the test of time.... The article has four dead links and there aren't that many sources to begin with due to its small size. The dead links should not be removed, but this makes the article unreliable since the accuracy can no longer be checked. This means it no longer fulfills the standards for FA. Consider the article on notice. Noah^Talk 04:24, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WP:URFA/2020

Assessing as part of the ongoing URFA/2020 FA sweeps. I see that the dead links issue above seems to have been addressed, and searching in a couple places doesn't bring up anything that suggests that there's significant scholarly literature. However, there are two things here that lack citations - lowest pressure and 1-minute sustained wind speeds. Marking as satisfactory at URFA/2020, but hopefully this note can be addressed. Hog Farm _Talk 04:39, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

User:Hurricane Noah, I am marking this "Satisfactory" at URFA, but would be most pleased if you could address Hog Farm's comment above. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:32, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Featured version: 307393835 17:14, August 11, 2009 and 1998 Atlantic hurricane season [1] likely CWW to track down

The similarities seem to be from common wording in other hurricanes. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:03, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Featured version: 307393835 17:14, August 11, 2009 and Meteorological history of Hurricane Georges version 306041698 16:56, August 4, 2009 likely copying within to track down. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:24, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Current: with Hurricane Georges [2] likely CWW to track down

Current: with Meteorological history [3] likely CWW to track down

"that moved off the coast of Africa during" Effects of version 302865728 01:00, July 19, 2009 and Meteorological history version 304314412 16:25, July 26, 2009

"homes located outside the levee system" Effects of version 290505154 13:39, May 17, 2009 and Hurricane Georges version 795557333 00:31, August 15, 2017

"boardwalks formerly situated" Effects of version 303071475 04:21, July 20, 2009 and Hurricane Georges version 795559413 00:50, August 15, 2017

I can find no indication of CWW between here and 1998 Atlantic hurricane season.

Summary: All copying within seems to have originated from here, and traveled to other articles. But there is enough copying within that the entire suite (listed above) should be checked. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:49, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvio or close paraphrasing

Pre-GA version: version 294205893 17:17 June 3, 2009 General Earwig found nothing.

Pre-FAC version: 296249388 22:51, June 13, 2009 [4] To check Nist.gov

National Institute of Standards and Technology page at Nist.gov says "Created June 10, 2011, Updated April 10, 2017". Wikipedia had that content in 2009.

The Nist.gov page does not exist at archive.org prior to 2017: [5]

It appears that NIST plagiarized Wikipedia ?? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:23, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Featured version: 307393835 17:14, August 11, 2009 General Earwig found nothing.

Current [6] To check

Everything but the (same) Nist.gov source checks out. Pinging the CCI people and the WikiProject for more eyes on the NIST situation. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:51, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Summary

Not finished, still working, pinged in others about the NIST situation. [7] If that is clear, I only have to finish the copying within templates. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:55, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Template:Backwards copy set up for NIST, all {{Copied}} templates done with null edits for attribution, this article is clean, but there is more copying within to be found among the suite of 1998 Atlantic hurricane season. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:35, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Noted CCI check cleared at WP:URFA/2020A, and unwatching. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:52, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Move discussion in progress
