Images

Any radar images, satellite imagery (oh ****! they didn't have back then!) ETC. I am not may the article's creator. Irfan Faiz - Aviation/Cyclone Expert

As the article creator, I can attest that there are very likely no radar or satellite images of this storm. The best, and likely, only bet we have is to create a track map for the pic in the infobox. Hurricanehink 15:36, 11 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Turk

It's not clear what Turk refers to.

Re-direct mania

These re-directs should maybe be fixed. Typhoon Vera (1959) directs to Typhoon Vera, but Talk:Typhoon Vera (1959) directs to Talk:Tropical Storm Vera, which is the Discussion page for the disambiguation page Tropical Storm Vera, which lists 14 storms named Vera since 1951.

Thanks for bringing this matter up - User:Hurricanehink has fixed it.Jason Rees (talk) 18:29, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

195mph winds?

Hello. I just brought up this one little discussion considering the fact of Vera's windspeeds. Did Vera have 195mph, or 190mph? Just wondering, because I like Wiki to be almost perfect.--Ryder 07:02, 8 July 2011 (UTC) talk

I have checked it against the JTWC BT for this system and Vera only had windspeeds of 165 knots which equates to 190mph.Jason Rees (talk) 10:20, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay.--Ryder 00:27, 19 July 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryder Busby (talk • contribs)

GA criteria

Well-written:

(a) the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct

(b) it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation

Verifiable with no original research:

(a) it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline

(b) reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose)

(c) it contains no original research

Broad in its coverage:

(a) it addresses the main aspects of the topic

(b) it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style)

Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.

Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.

The article has not been the subject of disruptive editing since at least 2010. "Carry me down, carry me down; carry me down into the wiki!" (talk) 01:08, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:

All images presently used in the article serve relevant purpose within, and are all public domain, so fair use is not a problem. "Carry me down, carry me down; carry me down into the wiki!" (talk) 01:09, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

(a) media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content

(b) media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions

After reading through this article, I believe it satisfies the GA criteria. It is well-written and organized, with a few sparse grammatical or tonal glitches eliminated, it is well-referenced with a large number of reliable third-party sources, covers all encyclopedically relevant aspects of its topic, and maintains a neutral tone. Congratulations! "A wiki of beauty is a joy forever." Seriously. That's how long it'd take to read! (talk) 07:06, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
