I have been working on this article for a while, but it really needs a fresh set of eyes. I know that the Aftermath section fairly confused, but other than that, what sort of changes should I be making? (Go easy on me, I am new to this) Plasticup T/C 21:42, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
- Two concerns I have are the lack of using USD (only used twice in the impact section) and the potential lack of comprehensiveness (only four islands are listed; the article on Lesser Antilles lists many more). The lede should be expanded, seeing how long the article is. The sections on St. Lucia and Dominica look to be a good length, though I would like to see some more meteorological statistics (rainfall, storm surge, peak wind gusts, etc.) It would be nice to see a little more for the Martinique section; that section says damage totaled over $300 million, whereas the St. Lucia section goes into much more detail for a lot less damage. I guess just try and keep it updated as time goes on, until nothing else can be updated. All in all, good job. Hurricanehink (talk) 23:27, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
- I have been using reliefweb.int to locate most of the humanitarian information, however Martinique is conspicuous in its absence. I am going to guess that most of the Martinique-related primary sources will be in French, and it may take a little while for English versions to circulate. I'll keep my eyes open there. As for meteorological statistics, where do you usually find that sort of thing? Do you look at local weather stations, or is there some central repository? Plasticup T/C 00:15, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
