Merge

This should be merged. The storm did nothing as a tropical cyclone. There was damage associated from a precursor disturbance, but the actual storm did nada. Hurricanehink 19:49, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. Jdorje 19:53, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Done. Hurricanehink 22:32, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Todo?

So much for the above. OK. What's needed for B class? Hurricanehink (talk) 02:13, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's a B, though surely a bit more detail for Bermuda and Newfoundland can be found - they should be distinct sections IMO. There's no mention of retirement either. Oh and a minor thing, the footnotes are supposed to be immediately after the punctuation, not with a space separating them.--Nilfanion (talk) 15:46, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nope. There was very little impact on those places. I got the rest. Hurricanehink (talk) 16:38, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And I cleaned up after you (nbsp and footnotes after punctuation) :P If thats all that can be said about non-US impact, I'd favor dropping all mention of Bermuda, the unneeded warning is mentioned in preparations. Bermuda and Newfoundland are so far apart geographically (and chronologically) that it seems silly to have them lumped together like that. The retirement sentence is a bit strong, it implies retirement would have happened had it been Leslie and not the precursor that did the damage (that isn't certain).--Nilfanion (talk) 17:12, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Damn it! Thanks for cleaning up after me. Now I feel like a complete idiot. Dropping Bermuda works. Is the retirement section better? On an aside, Leslie might have been retired if it hit Florida, though probably not. They didn't retire any previous storms, and it took Allison's far-reaching effects a year later to retire a tropical storm. It doesn't matter, though. Hurricanehink (talk) 17:18, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah it works, nothing much to complain about really now.--Nilfanion (talk) 17:25, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Now I have a complaint. Given that the storm caused nearly $1 billion in damage, should it really be low importance? Hurricanehink (talk) 17:45, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah wasn't paying attention, just been having a hard time lately here (hence my low activity over past few days).--Nilfanion (talk) 18:11, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry. I hope everything gets better soon. Hurricanehink (talk) 18:24, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

GA passed

An expansion on damages in other places and maybe some stuff about like Ireland where the trough ended would be nice but a great article overall. If it can be expanded, add to it. Lincher 15:58, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

GA Sweeps Review: Pass

As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "Meteorology and atmospheric sciences" articles. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. I have made several minor corrections throughout the article. Altogether the article is well-written and is still in great shape after its passing in 2006. Continue to improve the article making sure all new information is properly sourced and neutral. It would also be beneficial to go through the article and update all of the access dates of the inline citations and fix any dead links. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have updated the article history to reflect this review. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 00:54, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Refocus?

Given that the impact occurred before Leslie became a tropical cyclone, I'm wondering if the article should be moved and refocused on the Florida flooding event. Such a discussion, whether precursor events to a tropical cyclone should be focused on the tropical cyclone, is occurring at WT:WPTC. --Hurricanehink (talk) 00:43, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
