Todo[edit]

Consider this the pre-GAN review. First, it needs a season summary section like the 1950 Pacific hurricane season. Second, the depressions should be merged to an other storms section IMO per 1987 Pacific hurricane season, 1968 Pacific hurricane season, and 1975 Pacific hurricane season. For Claudia, there is a qute a good amount of info here. For Valerei, there is some info here. Hope that helps. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 14:26, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why does it need a summary if it's so short? Thanks for the extra info. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 14:28, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Overall consistency. The 1950 Pacific hurricane season has one, why not this season? It should be a few sentences comparing this year to average and stuff like that.Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane

Well, I think some of the summary there is extraneous (such as no majors, unsourced speculation on why there were so few storms). I also think it's wrong to mention climatology, since the average season is only based on post-satellite imagery. I checked the Valerie, there wasn't much new, although thanks for the Claudia bit. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 14:47, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Would you say it could be GAN'd now? --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:03, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, go for it. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 22:49, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why don't we have boxes with TC stats for each system? I haven't seen an annual article pass through GAN without all the storm-related boxes included. Thegreatdr (talk) 05:24, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The track maps are missing for some reason. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 13:30, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, I just opted not to include them. I didn't feel like they helped the article particularly, given that most of them followed the same track (developing off of Mexico, move (west)northwestward and dissipated. I only included the infoboxes for the hurricanes since they were the only ones to make landfall. However, I added Claudia due to it being the highest impact storm of the season. It was merely an editor's decision. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 14:07, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Infoboxes[edit]

I deliberately left out the infoboxes, considering several of the storms are only a sentence or two. Considering most of them have a rather similar track (or there is no track at all), do we really need to have an infobox for all of them? --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:26, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, if no one objects I will remove them. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 19:38, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a timeline to this season, to show when these storms have formed. I have also added a few more storm boxes, the winds may not be right but it shows what category it is. STO12 —Preceding undated comment added 19:32, 22 December 2011 (UTC).[reply]

The timeline is fine, but the boxes weren't needed, IMO, per above. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:03, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
