Comments

[edit]

Please do not change the status of the criterion, the reviewer will change that their selfs. Let me know when the review is done. I'm assuming it's still in progress, since there are no comments by the reviewer. Thegreatdr (talk) 21:51, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For reference 1, you need to explain to me what you mean by "incorrectly referenced." I was using it as independent support for the depression's existence. If it's not needed, we could get rid of it. Reference 4 is accessable, but you have to download the free viewer at this web address first. As for the newspaper articles, all I can do (and have done) is back up the tropical depressions with the CLIQR database, which is a version of the extended best track database I've been using at work for use in the tropical cyclone rainfall climatology. Other than newspaper articles, there is no information for the TDs other than the track, because the National Hurricane Center did not write individual storm reports on TDs that far back in time, and, between 1981-1987, did not publish their annual tropical weather systems article either. There just simply isn't any other source for TD information for most of the 1980s.

I understand why you think there are identical sources in the reference section. Click on them. I can assure you they are different pages, though they are of the same parent document. For whatever reason, the National Hurricane Center scanned their tropical cyclone reports in such a way that different pages of the same document are at different web addresses. Therefore, I cannot group those references together with names, like I did with the CLIQR database. As for the ACE statistics, the wikipedia page used as a source uses information from HURDAT to compute it. If this is disallowed, I'll have to remove the section, because there is no way to source it. Just let me know. I have added additional refs for Arthur, Klaus, and Lili, per your request.

Thanks for your pacientce and sorry for the delay. -- /MWOAP|Notify Me\ 22:30, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Your third and fourth items were easy to fix. As for a better site with those newspaper articles, there used to be the hurricane archive, which had links to the whole newspaper page. That site and its refs went away fairly recently. The refs we have are the best we could find, for the time being. If better sites present themselves for those newspaper articles, we'll link to them.

Thanks for the explanation, I understand. Good job, your article is now at GA Status. -- /MWOAP|Notify Me\ 00:50, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
