Overly specified[edit]

How come the article is limited to Northern New England and Canada? Why not all of New England? I see you're working on the southern New England article, but that will have only three states. Why not just go for the entire region for a more interesting article? --66.171.128.90 (talk) 06:18, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's a tentative plan. I'm hoping the SNE article is much longer than this one, but failing that, I'll merge the two. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 14:00, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Working Will aim to complete the review within the next couple of days. –Grondemar 22:24, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for volunteering. :) –Juliancolton | ^Talk 13:44, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I can't see the first image in Google Chrome fyi. NativeForeigner ^Talk/_Contribs/^Vote! 19:33, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've noticed the lead image also doesn't always load in Firefox, sometimes giving the error: "Error creating thumbnail: Invalid thumbnail parameters or image file with more than 12.5 million pixels". It might be better to switch to a different lead image if one exists. –Grondemar 19:48, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I removed it last night. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 13:12, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have reviewed the article. I have one minor suggestion listed below; however, I will not hold up GA status for this article over it:

Is it possible to either create a new lead image showing the storm's track over New England only or, even better, to add to the lead image a zoomed-in view of the storm's track over New England? In the current image New England is very small and it is difficult to see exactly where the storm passed over in the region.

GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
GA pass. Congratulations!

Thanks. –Grondemar 04:27, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review. I'll look into finding a more New England-specific image for the lead. Best, –Juliancolton | ^Talk 12:28, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
