Timeline of the 2002 Pacific hurricane season

[edit]
Nominator(s): Yue of the North
Toolbox

I am nominating this for featured list because... I think that it is good enough to be a FL Yue of the North 22:03, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. This nom is premature, as the article was made today. I see some pretty basic problems, which means the article needs a copyedit.

  • 485 (900 km) miles - this makes no sense as it is. Please fix all instances of this problem.--
  • 0600 UTC - Hurricane Alma (there is no local time mentioned) -- fixed
  • 150 (278 km) miles - same problem as the first one, but the km number isn't rounded. The general rule is rounding the converted unit when the first one. Be sure to fix all around.
  • Remove the Wikilinks to articles that don't exist: Hurricane Alma (2002), Tropical Storm Boris (2002), etc. There's no need. --fixed
  • 305 miles (565 m) south-southeast of Puerto Escondido, Mexico - really? 565 meters from the coast? Please be more careful.--fixed
  • For Fausto, you should mention when it moved into the CPAC, and be sure to do the same for other basin-crossers.
  • Tropical Storm Ele strengthen - watch out for noun/verb agreement. Also, there is an article for Ele. --fixed
  • Hurricane Ele moves out of the Central Pacific Hurricane Center's Area of Responsibility. - pretty minor, but you should clarify who picked up warnings. --fixed
  • Tropical Depression Fausto regenerates. - it's really important where it regenerated.--fixed
  • You should mention when Kenna became the strongest storm of the season, and how strong it was.

No, the unit rounding was not done. Please respond separately when you feel you addressed something. I still spot unrounded units. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:16, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I fixed the units. --Yue of the North 22:21, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No, you didn't. I see one unrounded distance unit, and one unrounded intensity unit. Let me know if you spot them. If not, I still oppose. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:23, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I fixed the distance and intensity. (the intensity was kenna's pressure, right?) --Yue of the North 22:26, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No, the intensity was a wind speed. The reason I'm not telling you where is so you can find them on your own, in case I missed any. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:27, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but I used the winds twice (I think?) and I can't find them there. --Yue of the North 22:31, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Tropical Storm Julio makes landfall west-northwest of Lazaro Cardenas, Mexico with winds of 45 mph (72 km/h)
It's right next to the word "winds". I got some more to oppose about.
  1. 0000 UTC (5 p.m. PDT)- Tropical Storm Julio makes landfall west-northwest of Lazaro Cardenas, Mexico with winds of 45 mph (72 km/h).[18]
  2. 1200 UTC (5 a.m. PDT)- Tropical Storm Julio weakens into a tropical depression.[18]
  3. 1800 UTC (5 a.m. PDT)- Tropical Depression Julio dissipates.[18]
How can the last two, which are six hours apart in UTC time, be the same time in PDT? I just noticed it really quickly, and I saw it somewhere else, but I really don't think it's up to FL status, with as many errors as I caught after you put it up for FLC. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:35, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I fixed the intensity, the 2 times and I found the other time problem. --Yue of the North 22:40, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yea, but I see a lot more time issues, exactly the same as Julio. I really don't think enough time was put into this article, considering all of the errors. You should've at least used the WPTC assessment page, which is there for people to get project input before FXC'ing. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:43, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I guess that I need more time to fix this, so I will withdraw.--Yue of the North 22:44, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
