Importance war

Rather than keep changing this, why doesn't anyone seek to find out exactly how many deaths it caused in Mexico? If it really did cause up to 105, as the article claims, then surely that would be mid-importance, as that would be one of the deadliest EPAC hurricanes. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:33, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If it caused 100, those are still indirect. The project had already decided that indirect deaths do not count much to determine the importance of an article. I've used the example of Hurricane Stan often enough, because it is Mid, not High, despite 2000 fatalities. Potapych (talk) 15:42, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, they'd be direct. Those missing were from missing fishing boats, and, if it was like Hurricane Ismael (which also killed +100 people, many from capsized fishing boats), then it would rather important. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:51, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not go off topic. We just need a link that says Tico caused all of those deaths. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:10, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Besides it caused by most rain from an EPAC cyclone in the Untied states unless Lowell produced more. Leave Message ,Yellow Evan home ,Sandbox Happy Veterans day 17:23, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't go off-topic! No one cares about Lowell, and Tico was not the wettest EPAC cyclone in the US - that honor belongs to Norma 81. All we need is a link to prove Tico caused all of those deaths. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:28, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just found it here. Leave Message ,Yellow Evan home ,Sandbox Happy Veterans day 17:31, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That source says 105 people were missing, not dead. –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 17:54, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I added the death toll, which was ultimately 135 deaths, derived from a reliable source. I upped it to mid. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:04, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"After peaking as a Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale early on October 19." - Sentence fragment; I would suggest rewording that to: "Early on October 19, Tico peaked as a Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale".
"Though, most of it's impact occurred in Mexico" - Change it's to its
"14 miles (22 kilometres) in diameter," - Why isn't kilometres abbreviated?
"Two 328 ft (100 m) anchored ships were washed aground by strong waves and swells.[11] with a total of seven ships reported missing." - Switch that period to a comma.
"although mos tof the agricultural damage" --> "although most of the agricultural damage"
"more evacuations to sheleters were anticipated." - typo
To remain consistent with other references, switch "Roth, David" to "David Roth" in reference #2. However, I wouldn't touch reference #8 since it is with the "Most intense landfalling Pacific hurricanes" template.
On reference #3, one of the authors is "Ethan J. Gibney1"; there shouldn't be a 1 on the end of his last name.
- I fixed all of them with the exception of the last one, as I am having a hard time finding where the mistake is. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 20:43, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok i went through and made your proposed changes. I could not find the Ethan Gibney 1 either.Millertime246 (talk) 21:04, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

oh, looks like you beet me to it. Good workMillertime246 (talk) 21:04, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ref 3 is with the ""Most intense landfalling Pacific hurricane" template. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 23:32, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, everything is good now. That last thing I said was part of a template. Well, anyway, I will pass with article.--12george1 (talk) 01:47, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Refernces

i just found a lot of typos in the references. BlueTropicalWave (Talk) 01:54, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No, there was only one, which I corrected. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 02:59, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ok, but there are spelling mistakes too. BlueTropicalWave (Talk) 12:28, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
