GA Review

[edit]

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch

Hi! I will be reviewing this article for GA status. At the moment, I am waiting for a reply back from Cyclonebiskit - I asked this editor if they were willing to continue the GA review, as on the talk page they appear to be the one most interested in improving the article and have recently asked for a little more time to gather additional information. There appears to be some disagreement on what to do with the article, with the GAN nominator arguing for a merge as little as 5 days ago. So, for the moment, consider this article on hold until I see if things can stabilize and if there is an editor willing to do the work.

However, here are a few comments to get other editors started, if they wish:

  • Most of the second paragraph of the history section needs a reference.
  • The external link in the impact section should be turned into a ref, or removed if it doesn't back up the information.
  • In the impact section, was it really both Lowell and Ike that did the damage? In most of the other hurricane articles I've read, once a smaller storm (like TS Lowell) is absorbed by a larger storm (like H Ike), it is referred to by the larger storm's name and the damage is not attributed to the smaller storm. I may be wrong...just asking...
  • Ref 13 is giving an error message - you need to have the whole ref in here, rather than just the named part.

Drop me a note here if you have any questions...I'll post an update as soon as I hear from Cyclonebiskit. Dana boomer (talk) 14:41, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

After a conversation with Cyclonebiskit (see my talk page and his), and after reviewing the reversions to the article and the discussions on the talk page, I am going to fail this article. It is very unstable right at the moment, and it could benefit from some serious work. When this article is more stable and in a bit better shape, please renominate it at GAN.
