Talk:Hurricane Hanna

Shouldn't it read "8th Tropical Storm" rather than "8th Tropical Cyclone"? From my understanding, a hurricane is the North American term for a Tropical Cyclone. 207.105.30.44 (talk) 01:08, 3 September 2008 (UTC) Daniel.

Normally, yes. But a tropical cyclone is the designation for any such cyclone, even of tropical depression strength. Hurricane Angel Saki (talk) 06:53, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Citations

I checked two citations and neither of them were what they claimed to be. Nor did they back up the facts reported in the article. The Prep and Impact sections need to be thoroughly re-written. Plasticup ^T/C 15:12, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

It is quite noticeable. I don't know whether you've noticed, but in the lead section it says there are 25 dead, but if you add up the numbers in the 'Deaths by Country' table, it comes to 26! Chris1193 (talk) 15:39, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

article name?

I noticed that the lead says, "Hurricane Hanna is the eighth tropical cyclone and fourth hurricane of the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season." This would seem to imply that the storm is presently, now a hurricane. Shouldn't it either say "Tropical Storm Hanna is the eighth tropical cyclone and was the fourth hurricane of the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season," or "Hurricane Hanna was the eighth tropical cyclone and fourth hurricane of the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season"? Of course, if you change it, then when it becomes a hurricane again, it should be changed back to its present wording. 69.140.152.55 (talk) 10:58, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

If a storm becomes a hurricane, the article name always remains Hurricane name (year) and the lead section always takes such into consideration. CrazyC83 (talk) 21:04, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

But as I know, there will be a rise of the number of the death,this is horrible. What we can do now is to prey for the bad luck man and women! God bless them! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.17.221.39 (talk) 04:26, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Haiti has a poor record in retiring names, so I think the article should remain at Low-importance with no redirecting unless it rises significantly more. CrazyC83 (talk) 15:08, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Heavy copyright volations

The majority of the section on Haiti was a simple copy/paste from the Miami Herald. If someone wants to work in the information from the source that's great, but you have to write it. Plasticup ^T/C 16:20, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

There is a reference - isn't that good enough? Brudder Andrusha (talk) 18:27, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
