Tropical Storm Alberto (2006)[edit]

I'm nominating this article for featured article because I believe it passes most, if not all of the FA criteria. It is a self-nom, as I rewrote the article a few months back, and I'll do what it takes to take care of any concerns. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:32, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Is it possible to get any aftermath? Also, there appears be quite a few red links. I don't know if that matters, but it would make the article look better. Other than that, it looks good. Juliancolton (talk) 17:43, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Given how minimal the storm was, I never came across serious aftermath (such as aid or reconstructing), but I'll check. Also, I only count three redlinks, which are all for locations that might get articles. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:53, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There's nothing wrong with redlinks unless they impact the comprehensiveness of this article; redlinks is not a valid FA oppose and is not an issue. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 03:28, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment
- Some image caption don't require full-stops.
- "with 45 mph winds in Taylor County, Florida" - conversion missing. Epbr123 (talk) 11:01, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks, got it. --♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:51, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I made some copyedits, but I think someone needs to go over the article again more closely. The prose does not flow as well in this article as in some of the other storm FAs, and I've found a few grammatical mistakes (missing verbs, clauses that don't match). I've fixed what jumped out at me, but I'm not the best copyeditor and I probably missed some. Karanacs (talk) 16:01, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I copyedited it somewhat, and I asked for another user to copyedit it some more. Also, due to lack of funding, we had to cancel the project of cloning myself. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:33, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
