Inline sourcing for the whole article, and any more info, if any. Hurricanehink (talk) 00:09, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

If Danielle and Earl get an article, can someone help me with Hermine in my sandbox? It needs an expanded intro and an impact rewrite. Maybe the storm history could use a little love. íslenska hurikein #12_(samtal) 17:25, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Here's two links that might help.

How is this a GA with two sections ending unsourced? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:29, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

When I was doing my GAN I was thinking that the next citation sources everything about it, but he asked me about it in IRC after the review, so I told that as a good rule of thumb when you have multiple paragraphs under one reference you should repeat the citation at the ends of paragraphs.

Hello Tropical Analyst! I will be reviewing TS Earl.

Lead

• "mid-August" could use an en dash.
  • I'm pretty sure it is supposed to be a standard hyphen.
• "thirty-four roofs" → 34 roofs
  •  Done. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 22:20, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Meteorological history

Overall, the MH has a lot of jargon that can and should be linked, but I'll also list a few specific cases below. As a rule of thumb 3% of words in an article should be linked.

• "...much-improved banding features and fair upper-level outflow..." Please link some meteorological terms to an appropriate article.
• "...embedded and under the influence of a deep easterly flow around the southern periphery of a subtropical ridge of high pressure to the cyclone's north..." You should link a few of these jargon words.
• " At this time, the cyclone was situated about 325 mi (525 km/h) east of Barbados." Same deal here, link Barbados.
• "Within an environment characterized by low wind shear, high atmospheric humidity, and warm sea surface temperatures, Earl intensified, reaching a peak intensity of 50 mph (85 km/h) by 0600 UTC on August 15. Initial forecasts from the National Hurricane Center..." Link the meteorological terms, and the NHC.
  •  Done. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 22:20, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
• What's a hunter hunter aircraft?
  • Fixed. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 22:20, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Preparations and impact

• Link minor island countries and warnings/watches throughout this section. Also link organizations.
• "On the main island, the roofs were blown off..." No need to have 'the'
• You repeat the fact that several hundreds of people evacuated into schools in the second paragraph. Remove the one in the second paragraph, because its already in the first - "Several hundred people evacuated to shelters set up at local schools."
  • Done. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 22:20, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
