Talk:1850–59 Atlantic hurricane seasons

1851[edit]

Should 1851 Atlantic hurricane season even be an article? There is so little information, I propose it be merged with the main article, as well as 1852. Hurricanehink 23:57, 5 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. -- RattleMan 00:17, 6 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Todo[edit]

I dropped this to stub, seeing as every storm is not mentioned. Given how long the article would be if every storm was mentioned, should every season back to 1851 have an article? Hurricanehink (talk) 16:24, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category ratings[edit]

Can anyone tell me where these category ratings are coming from? My understanding is that the category rating system came into play in the 20th, not the 19th, century. GenQuest ^{"Talk to Me"} 18:58, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

They were retroactively applied, based on their estimated winds. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:01, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Next question, isn't it more appropriate, then, to speak in terms of "estimated force" or "estimated category" instead of the hard statement of fact this (and probably other 18-19th century) weather article(s) seems to take? I'm not a weather guy so don't know what the standards are in that field. GenQuest ^{"Talk to Me"} 21:43, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in 1850–59 Atlantic hurricane seasons[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of 1850–59 Atlantic hurricane seasons's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Partagas":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 20:52, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
