- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose):
b (MoS):
- I did a bit of copyediting, but overall the prose looks good. One concern, though; what is a "fishing death"?

- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (references):
b (citations to reliable sources):
c (OR):
- a (references):
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects):
b (focused):
- For such an historic storm, the article is a bit lacking on impact info. Here's a source with two paragraphs of good info for the Mazatlán area.
- I dont see the problem with the impact and thus im passing the article. Jason Rees (talk) 01:22, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

On-hold for now. Good work so far—I look forward to being able to promote this. –Juliancolton | Talk 23:18, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
- That website you mentioned is a near-copy of the Wikipedia article, so I don't exactly trust it. For such a historical storm, yes, it might be lacking in info, but I did a thorough Google search, and to my knowledge the article is very comprehensive. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:35, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
Per your IRC comment, I would like a 2nd opinion, outside of yours. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:08, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
Ref 1 should be split
[edit]Somehow this was missed in the GA review, but I believe that Hurricanehink, when he made this article, accidentally called two different references "mwr". They referred to different articles in the Monthly Weather Review. The Wiki software conflates them, even though they should be seperate. I'd fix this myself, but I don't know offhand what facts were gotten from each MWR article. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 01:58, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
- Good catch. I copied the ref when I was working on the Tico 83 article, which was also ref "mwr", but it was easy to catch since I only used that site once. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:03, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Issues
[edit]@Hurricanehink: I noticed this article has some issues... I would appreciate it if you would be able to fix them since you were the original nominator. NoahTalk 23:07, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
- Could you be more specific? Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 22:22, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
- @Hurricanehink: I already removed trivial information that was added in 2016 (Walt Disney allegedly witnessed the storm). My main concern is that you mention max. sustained winds in the lede, no mention of them being sustained in the met, and nothing at all in the infobox. In the last line in the MH, is it October 12, October 13, or October 12–13? The comparison section appears to be too small. It either will need to either be expanded or merged as its current size would warrant an expand section template. Lastly, imperial units should be abbreviated instead of spelled out. Hope those help. All the best, NoahTalk 23:45, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
- mfw when I originally wrote this article as a little boy before Hink re-wrote it and is now bumped on my watchlist. There's no confirmed reports of any maximum sustained winds (I went through this with Hink in 2011). The article is 10kb's, which is probably Yea the article is 11 years old so it isn't perfect but there are also many worse articles out there that are GA's.

- Just wanted to bring the issues up since I had checked out articles for a possible Cat 4 GT. NoahTalk 14:02, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
