Talk:Hurricane Claudette (2003)

Todo

A good little article. But I know the impact section can be extended. Jdorje 04:18, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Is this B class yet? Hurricanehink 18:46, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it's definitely B. It could be ready to be nominated for A although a close inspection/copyedit might be warranted first. Also, is there anything to be found about aftermath? — jdorje (talk) 04:00, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Lots of into on the aftermath located here. Will do later. Hurricanehink 16:10, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

First hurricane?!

It says Claudette was the first Cane to strike the US since Bertha. Uh, I may be wrong buit it seems like there were a few more. Ahem...

• Hurricane Fran
• Hurricane Danny
• Hurricane Bonnie
• Hurricane Earl
• Hurricane Georges
• Hurricane Bret
• Hurricane Floyd
• Hurricane Irene
• Hurricane Lili

I'm not gona change it just yet. Not until somebodey else sees how wrong a mark that was. Who made that call? Cyclone1 01:49, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

That bit of trivia is so egregiously wrong it brings into question the accuracy of the entire rest of the article... — jdorje (talk) 01:55, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Calm down, I accidentally removed in July, and I fixed it. That's a pretty harsh statement to question the accuracy of the rest of the article, given the amount of references. Don't worry, the rest, according to the refs at least, is accurate. Hurricanehink 02:05, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Now that the problem was fixed, is it a B-Class? Hurricanehink 03:22, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Haha, I figured that out about the july thing when i was at my mom's house (with no computer). Sorry. O well its in the past. Lol Cyclone1 20:15, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

LOL, no biggie :) Hurricanehink 20:46, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Wait! What about Danny in 1997??? It hit Loiusiana in July. Cyclone1 06:55, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Nice catch. Got it. Hurricanehink 12:34, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank You.Cyclone1 14:53, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

A-class

I bumped it to A-class. A couple of comments.

• It's "reconnaissance", not "reconaissance". I think this error is in a bunch of articles. I didn't even notice it until the link turned up red.
• "50 mph storm" does not make sense; a storm cannot "be" 50 mph. Wording like this should be changed to "storm with 50 mph winds".
• There's one sentence I didn't understand: "Shell limited their oil totals to around 15% and natural gas totals to around 4%, while Marathon lowered their daily total to 2% for oil and 1.5% of its natural gas production." Does this mean they limited their losses to 15%, or that they were only producing 15% of their normal totals?
• Another sentence, in the aftermath, now reads "with the other 25% being covered by local agencies". This used to say through local agencies. The old text was confusing; is the new text correct?
• Eventually someone will complain that the retirement section is only one sentence and try to remove it. For it to stay it will need to be lengthened.
• The intro could be lengthened a bit, with mention of the storm's effects outside of texas.

FAC

I put it up for FAC. Here goes nothing. Hurricanehink (talk) 21:21, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Picture

Satellite

Why did we change pictures? The one we had before was more impressive, I think, albeit black and white. -- §HurricaneERIC§^Damagesarchive 02:36, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

You got it. It was black and white. Very few articles have black and white images. The colored image is, well, more colorful. In addition, the colored image basically the same as the previous one. Hurricanehink (talk) 02:47, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Rainfall

The rainfall image was updated to include Mexican amounts and place a color-filled image. It doesn't look much different, actually, but it appears to be complete. Thegreatdr 20:54, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Cool! By the way, eventually will there be a map for rainfall across the Yucatan Peninsula? Hurricanehink (talk) 00:12, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

All the rain reports from the Yucatan peninsula were under 1 inch. Apparently, Cancun did receive over an inch though, but that's one observation on one island. I wouldn't know the best way of handling that with isohyets...you need more than one observation to draw an isohyet. Thegreatdr 12:13, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Really? OK, cool, that makes sense. Hurricanehink (talk) 15:38, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

See Also

What should we be linking to in this section? It seems kind of pointless to point at List of notable Atlantic hurricanes from storms which well, are not exactly notable. Any ideas?--Nilfanion (talk) 10:10, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

This would be a good place to have List of Texas hurricanes, once the article was created. Also, Atlantic hurricane could work there. Hurricanehink (talk) 13:27, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Surprise storm

I'm brand new to Wikipedia, but as I learn more about it, I'm finding that changes to articles of this caliber are best meshed out in the Talk section first. Before I realized that, I made a couple of changes to the article that reflect the surprise elements of the storm. As this storm hit us hard, I know that it was at least 12 hours ahead of schedule and much stronger than it was advertised. I tried to cite sources in the archives of the NHC and in a report put out by NWS-Corpus Christi. If anyone can give me pointers on how to cite, I would appreciate it. I see what y'all have done, but I don't see it explained that way in the Help section of Wikipedia. It's Greek to me. user:Scarro66

To make the changes easier to identify, I've highlighted them now. Titoxd^(?!?) 21:22, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

ISS Image

I found this image on the NASA site of Claudette. Might be useful?--Nilfanion (talk) 21:50, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Nice pic, but where would it go? If you can find a good place for it, go ahead and add it. Hurricanehink (talk) 02:44, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

WP:URFA/2020

@Hurricanehink and Cyclonebiskit:, this 2006 FA needs a bit of tune-up to meet WP:WIAFA. I found no indications of too close paraphrasing, copyvio, or problems with copying within Wikipedia, but the following need attention:

• Wikilinking ... in the lead, no link to Category I storm, for example ... and Texas is linked twice in the lead ... beer MOS:OVERLINK ... please check throughout. User:Evad37/duplinks-alt is helpful.
• Many of the sources are incomplete or go to dead links. All sources need a publisher (many are missing), and if a full date is available, it should be used. Here are some sample edits I made from one section only.
• A copyedit would not be remiss ... "resulting in widespread and often unnecessary preparations along its path" ... widespread preparations ??

Best regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:52, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

PS, too many URFA articles to track, so unwatching, pls ping me when I should revisit (alternately, mark article "satisfactory" at WP:URFA/2020 when changes are complete and article is at standard, and then someone will revisit). SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:55, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

There also seems to be some unrepresented research -

• This is short, but relevant, referring to part of the behavior of the storm as "unprecedented"
• If anyone can find the full version of this, it looks relevant
• This isn't solely about Claudette, but has some relevant information
• An entire article here in Monthly Weather Review'

Not all that much about this one, but considering that no scholarly analysis is represented in this article, the sourcing cannot be really considered comprehensive. Pinging SandyGeorgia so they are aware of these comments. Hog Farm _Talk 02:33, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

No progress, listing at WP:FARGIVEN. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:00, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
