Archived discussion. Current status: {{B-Class}}
It's been a while since this page was designated as a B, and I'm not sure what to do to make it an A (as GA is out of the question). Also, since this isn't one of Hink's state lists, I'm not sure what standard elements it is missing... :P Comments are appreciated. Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 01:45, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
- Hink's state lists usually list them differently, not in a fancy table :P Anyways, there are a lot more storms listed on the HPC page that affected Arizona but aren't in the article. Find a way to deal with that. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:59, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
- Oooh, I didn't know about that page. That'll keep me busy for the next few days. :) Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 02:02, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

- Better. I'm confused as to what the Deadly systems section is supposed to be about. Is it supposed to be a prose section for every known storm, or just particularly notable ones? Clearly, not all of those in the list caused deaths. Also, regarding the prose, there are several sentences that say "caused over 5 in (125 mm)" without specifying rainfall. While the rainfall is implied, it is awkward to see just "caused over 5 in (125 mm)". Be sure to add 2008 USD's. Also, should the titles be "1990's" or "1990s"? The decade articles are at "1990s". ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:56, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
- Originally, it was supposed to be a prose section for notable storms, but I'm pretty much transitioning it to a prose section of all the storms that affected the state. I forgot to rename it, and I'm accepting suggestions for the title of the section. What index are we using for 2008 USD?
- As for the latter one, I don't know. I was looking through some of my textbooks, and they say to use the apostrophe, but if there's an entry in the MOS about it, then I can change it easily. Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 22:39, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
- I don't think a special name is needed for the section. Just storms would be fine, as that is what the other hurricane list articles do. This Federal Reserve site is what we use for updating to 2008 USD's (at least that's what I've been doing). Regarding 1990s vs. 1990's, I checked WP:MOSDATE, and it says Decades as such contain no apostrophe (the 1980s, not the 1980's). ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 23:52, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
