List of off-season Pacific hurricanes

(

)

... that at least 17 tropical cyclones in the East Pacific have existed during the off-season?

Good new list article that is long enough with not much more work required. Recently moved into mainspace. I suggest that the nominator liaise with other contributors as to who else should receive DYK credit, as quite a few editors were involved. As such, I'm confident that the topic has already had a decent technical review. This would also apply to the hook fact; whilst the sources are online, the material is extensive (thus hard to review for those events that occurred in the off-season) and source 1 is a database which I'm sure one get get one's head around if one really wanted to (I pass). Hence, I AGF the hook fact. The role of the lead is generally to summarise the article's content, but in this case, the lead mentions facts that are not in the article itself. This triggers the DYK requirement that the paragraphs in the lead should contain at least one inline ref each, which is currently not met. There's one further paragraph in the section 'Chronology' that requires a ref. I've had a look at some of the sources and didn't spot plagiarism. Lastly, I can see only two previous DYKs by the nominator, so a QPQ review is not required. I've left a comment on the article's talk page about an issue that is outside of DYK requirements.

Sourcing is ok now; AGF tick for the hook fact as explained above. Regarding credits, I've placed this template onto the article's talk page to elicit a response. Schwede 66 17:31, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

I'd say 12george1, and Yellow Evan should get most of the credit. Hurricanehink's a "maybe," as he mostly fixed up the little tidbits. HurricaneFan 25 18:08, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

I've thus added Yellow Evan to the credits. Good to go now. Schwede 66 19:01, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
