Timeline of the 2004 Pacific hurricane season

My fascination with Wikipedia's hurricane season timelines began when I was very young. Around the time I first started reading Wikipedia, I came across the timeline of the 2004 Pacific hurricane season, and it stuck out to me due in part to a humorous narrative tidbit regarding Hurricane Isis. Though I now realize such writing isn't appropriate for an encyclopedia (indeed, this portion was rephrased soon after I found it), I loved how the timeline presented a chronology of the season. As for the season itself, it was remarkably low on both activity and impacts. No systems made landfall above tropical depression strength nor caused any known fatalities, though a few systems did cause minor effects.

I attempted to push this timeline through FLC in late 2010, but was unsuccessful. Over the past few months, I have rewritten it to the standard of the timeline FLs I've helped promote this year (see Timeline of the 1995 Pacific hurricane season and Timeline of the 2011 Pacific hurricane season for the two most recent examples), and I believe it is ready for a second crack at the bronze star. Personally, I would love if my 10th featured list could not only be one that I had previously tried to promote, but also one that holds some nostalgic value for me.

@Dylan620: Since I want to do my part in making FLCs pass quicker, I'll review each part here.

Images: All images are correctly licensed (PD) and fitting for the article. All good there.

Prose: Lede is solid. You wikilink atmospheric stability, but I think "air mass" is the more important one, since you can kind of infer what stability means there if you know what an air mass is (I didn't - not a meterology person, lol.) Formatting looks solidly in line with your previous FLs in this area. I don't see anything to remark on in the timeline itself. (Side note: amazed we don't have an article on the concept of a major hurricane beyond just the scale!)

Source: Everything is cited properly, and the sources are well-formatted. Things are mostly cited to the NHC and NOAA. I checked these sources and found nothing out of place:

Avila et al., 2005
"Huracán "Javier" Acecha a la Costa Pacífica de México"
Avila, Tropical Cyclone Report (though this one should have the date, 2004, added to the cite)
Beven, Tropical Cyclone Report (ditto on the date)
Pasch is missing the date too. Just double check all the cyclone reports and make sure they have dates! That's all that seems off to me. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 06:18, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for the thorough review, Generalissima – everything should be resolved now! I wikilinked air mass and de-linked atmospheric stability to avoid falling afoul of WP:SEAOFBLUE. Dylan620 (he/him • talk • edits) 23:52, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea - Support on both counts. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 00:17, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
