Talk:Hurricane Waldo

Todo

Start class due to need of copyedit. Also, the MH should include the post-landfall info that's found in the HPC report. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:24, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

I've done both and upped to C class. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:59, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

The 928 mb report seems really sketchy, given its winds. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:24, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Agreed completely, but that's what The MWR said. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}

• The lead should have more impact details, IMO. It is rather vague just saying that there was flooding.
  • Added a little more.YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}
• "October 5 based on daty from ship reports." - typo
  •  Done.YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 23:29, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
• "The storms began to intensify rapidly." - Storms? You mean "storm"?
  • Lowercased.YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}
    • Not done. What I was asking you to do is take the "s" off of "storms" because in this case, it is singular, not plural.--12george1 (talk) 23:50, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
      • I think I got it now. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 00:06, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
• "Tropical Storm then began to turn to the north" - Switch to either "The tropical storm" or replace the first two words with Waldo.
  • Did the later. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 23:29, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
• "Meanwhile, Hurricane Waldo reached it's" - That should probably just be "its"
  • Why do always make this mistake???????? 23:29, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
• "The peak rainfall total in Mexico from Waldo was 9.61 inches (244 mm) in Jocuixtita/San Igancio, though heavy rain was also recorded along southern Baja California Sur." - The second part isn't really contradictory. So I would remove the word "though" and replace the comma with a semicolon.
  • I don't like semicolon's, but fixed. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 23:29, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
• "While no deaths or injuries were reported[5] much farmland and 600 houses were destroyed." - I would add a comma after "reported".
  • Fine. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 23:29, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
• "One motorist was stranded for 30 minuets before" - typo
  • I don't see it.YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 23:29, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
    • "minuets"--12george1 (talk) 23:50, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
• "The Sedgwick County, the county fire department freed 35 trapped people from rising flood waters," - Change to "In Sedgwick County"
  •  Done. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 23:29, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
• "In all, Waldo's rain were comparable to Atlantic" - Change to "Waldo's rains were"
  •  Done. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 23:29, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
• Reference #1 has the wrong title. In addition, you should change "Gunther; Cross" to "E.B. Gunther and R.L. Cross"
  • Fixed. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 23:29, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
• Reference #4 is a deadlink since its from thehurricanearchive.com. Also, the date should be change to "10-10-1985" so that it is consistent with the other references.
  • Taken care of. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 23:29, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
• The author of References #8, #10, and #11 should be the Associated Press.
  • But there {{cite news}}. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 23:29, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
    • Alright, I will let that slide.--12george1 (talk) 23:46, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
      • This article now seems good enough to pass for GA.--12george1 (talk) 03:30, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
