This may be a short article, but holds a lot of info in the impact section. Is this a possible A-class (or GA-class)? Icelandic Hurricane #12(talk) 15:26, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
- Inline sourcing and wording improvements are needed. Hurricanehink (talk) 15:41, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
- I hope this doen't make me look stupid, but what is inline sourcing? Icelandic Hurricane #12(talk) 20:10, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
- Citing sources from within the article. For example, look at Hurricane Floyd, especially in the impact section. The little number [7] or [11] represents the source you got it from. It looks like you or someone did it for the Typhoon Chanchu (2006) article, but they aren't done perfectly. Easy inline sourcing is as follows. If the source is www.nhc.noaa.gov, then you would put <ref name="nhc">[www.nhc.noaa.gov National Hurricane Center Homepage]</ref>. More advance inline sourcing is {{cite web}} formatting. If it was the above example, then you would put <ref name="nhc">{{cite web|author=National Hurricane Center|year=2006|title=NHC Homepage|publisher=NOAA|accessdate=05-21|accessyear=2006|url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov}}</ref> It's a bit more work, but it gives information so users don't have to go in the links.

- If that's what it means, then I have used inline sourcing in the article. Do you want me to do it the complicated way, or do you just want me to use more? Icelandic Hurricane #12(talk) 20:47, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
- For inline sourcing, you source every last statement in the article. In the impact section, there are no links, so we don't know what info you got from which place. Hurricanehink (talk) 20:49, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Can this be renominated for GA? I've done almost everything that needed to be done, except for the track map and some refs. I don't think we can make a track map, but I asked Jdorje anyway, but he hasn't answered me. íslenska hurikein #12(talk) 20:43, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
- I don't even think it's B class. There's not enough inline sources. There's two uses of the word "likely". That should be avoided as much as possible. Writing overall isn't that good. Anyone oppose dropping it to start class? Hurricanehink (talk) 03:08, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
It needs more info in general. Hurricanehink (talk) 04:58, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
