A-class review

It's a shame I didn't do this last year for its 25 year anniversary, oh well. It's still a significant storm, and I put a lot of work into this article. There's probably some dumb fixes I need to do, since it's on the older side, so I'd appreciate a fresh set of eyes. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:15, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Is there anyone willing to review this for A-class? I'm not going to promote this for A-class (unlike Typhoon Ike) because I think there is a lot of fixes to do. MarioJump83! 05:49, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I am probably going to review this with the recent series of disputes on WPTC. It will be a major challenge for me. MarioJump83! 23:08, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Name Retirement

[edit]

This article used to state that "Member nations of the World Meteorological Organization must send a delegate to the annual meeting to formally submit a request for tropical cyclone name retirement; for unknown reasons, Haiti did not send a delegate to the Spring 1995 meeting." Yesterday, I visited the MetOffice which had a copy of the minutes from the 1995 Hurricane Committee and as I flipped through I stumbled across a section that talked about Haiti's partcipation in the meeting. This stated that Haiti had sent a representive to the meeting and did not mention anything about any name retirements. As a result, I have removed the clearly false statment and would speculate that Gordons non retirement had more to do with the review into the retired names that took place inbetween the 1995 and 1996 sessions.Jason Rees (talk) 12:04, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
