Comments from initial nomination

The reason for improving this article is obvious, so I don't need to say much here. All thoughts and comments welcome as usual :) Cyclonebiskit 23:45, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - The aftermath section is longer than the impact section, which is a good indication that it is not comprehensive. Are you sure there's no more info? –Juliancolton | Talk 04:34, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I searched for several weeks, maybe a month, for impact and what's in the article is all I could find, both in English and Spanish. Cyclonebiskit 21:50, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Alright then, I'll take your word for it. –Juliancolton | Talk 22:14, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - article looks up to par on my read-through, and sources from newspapers have actually been used; this leads me to believe that all or most of the possible sources on this hurricane have been used. —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 03:59, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - have all of the comments from the FAC been addressed? Specifically, I have some problems with the writing.
    • "But they were later rescued" - sentences don't start with "But" (in the impact section)
    • "Minor effects were also found around areas of sea grass." - this just feels like a weird sentence.
    • "Throughout the country, a total of 376 latrines, 215 homes, two schools, two community children centres, two community water tanks and five solar panels were destroyed." - is there a way you can organize the information better, so it isn't so listy?
    • The MH should be clearer on the relationship between Beta and Alpha. Remember, it's an article on Beta, so Beta should be the star.
    • The MH should also be clearer on its motion, as I find it a tad confusing why it initially went slowly to the north.
    • Why did the shear increase and decrease while Beta was an intensifying tropical storm? Check discussions and the TWDs.
    • Why did it weaken when it approached its final landfall?
    • Did Recon measure its minimum pressure, or was it estimated? That should be mentioned.
    • The last advisory mentioned the possibility of regeneration in the EPAC. What happened to all of the rainfall once the circulation dissipated? Check EPAC TWO's and both basin TWD's.
    • The template for wettest Honduras TC's should probably be in Honduras's section, not in Nicaragua, which confuses the reader.
    • Any more impact? I see there are only 3 Spanish sources, so maybe there's more there. I wouldn't say it's required for it to keep its GA status, but for A or FA, perhaps more local sources should be used.
    • More later once you respond to this. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:48, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
