Earliest known tropical cycle to impact Sinaloa?[edit]

Is that like for modern history or something? The lead sentence is ambiguous. --Aeon17x (talk) 13:06, 20 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The source doesn't specify, but it's presumably since reliable records in the east pacific began in 1949. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 13:58, 20 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Image[edit]

This [1] image is high resolution so could someone upload an 250m cropped version of this? HurricaneSpin Talk My contributions 02:27, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's distorted so I'd rather stick with what's in the article Cyclonebiskit (talk) 21:10, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is also high res and taken near peak intensity. HurricaneSpin Talk My contributions 01:50, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think we should use the image HurricaneSpin suggested, it's a higher res then the current article image.

I think the second image is really great image of TD One-E, and could replace the existing main image, but you may be able to use the existing main image in the the MH. Darren 23 (Contribs) 02:49, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What is this MH? Wonderworld1995268 7:40, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Please ident your comments with a colon, and the MH is the Meteorological History.Darren 23 (Contribs) 12:43, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The colored version is better, though. HurricaneSpin Talk My contributions 05:02, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Colored version of image? Darren 23 (Contribs) 12:03, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The colored version is a bit distorted so I'd prefer to keep the NRL images instead. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 22:32, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It could be uploaded for otherwise. HurricaneSpin Talk My contributions 03:22, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review[edit]

Reviewer: –Juliancolton | ^Talk 22:06, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
I have no idea what this means—"According to officials in Mexico, the formation and impact of the depression near and in Sinaloa has never been recorded before."

Reworded Cyclonebiskit (talk) 22:01, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
What happened to the depression after it degenerated? When did the remains move ashore? Did any moisture affect inland areas?

Added where it moved ashore, other than that, there is no information on where the remnants went. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 22:01, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Alt text would be nice, but not required for GA.
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

Nice work overall. I'm putting this on-hold for now to allow the above issues to be addressed. I look forward to being able to promote this. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 22:06, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge?[edit]

Consensus against merging. Closing since it has almost been a week and nobody has supported the merger. Noah^Talk 23:45, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Another TD article that broke a record (Tropical Depression One (2009)) is merged because it didn't do anything. While this article is close to that article I have mentioned (having damages, but minimal damages), ultimately this TD isn't worthy for an article. This could be for a section in 2009 Pacific hurricane season, which is not a GA and could get help from merger. SMB9 9thx my edits 12:46, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose based on potential. 50,000 losing power isn't exactly minimal. "Numerous villages were flooded" and "significant structural damage throughout Mazatlán" may be worth investigating further. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 10:35, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose per KN2731. My merge criteria is based on two questions: Did it cause sufficient damage or significant meteorological records? and Can it fit in the season article without making the section too large? It did cause sufficient damage, but it can fit in the season article. 🐔 Chicdat ^{Bawk to me!} 13:17, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Oppose Enough information about the damage, will bloat the season article. ~ Destroyeraa🌀 14:52, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Its funny how TD1 in the Atlantic from the same year was merged, but this one doesn't appear to have the same consensus. There is enough information on this to allow it to stay.ChessEric (talk · contribs) 18:59, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
