- I just thought I would review this article on its second nomination. There were also some problems that I forgot mention in the first nomination review.
- "Hurricane Winifred was the last tropical cyclone to make landfall in the busy" - Wikilink "landfall" .
- Done.
- The second paragraph in the lead does not mention any specific dates, and "Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale" should be wikilinked.
- In the Meteorological history, the first paragraph does not mention that the depression that intensified into a tropical storm was named "Winifred", this is vital information to someone unfamiliar with the topic, seeing that it looks like the system became Winifred out of the blue.
- Done
- "was anticipating Winfred to reach" - Winifred is misspelled.
- Done
- "within the nest 36 hours." - nest? You mean next?
- Yep.
- "A large cyclone, Winfred continued to intensify." - Winifred is again misspelled.
- Done
- Look at these two sentences: "A small eye became evident on satellite imagery, and thus the winds increased to 145 km/h (85 mph)." "Winfred then intensified into a moderate Category 2 hurricane on Ocotber 9, although the eye briefly disappeared." In the first sentence it looks like your implying that if there was no eye, then winds would be less than 85 mph. Keep that in mind for the second sentence, where it says "the eye briefly disappeared"; judging by your implement on the first sentence, it looks like Winifred could have briefly weakened to a Category 1 hurricane or less because it did not have an eye for a short period of time. BTW, the words "Winifred" and "October" are misspelled.
- Done.
- The term "major hurricane" is not explained.
- Done
- It is kind of passive on how Winifred weakened over Mexico; "Winifred quickly weakened upon landfall. On October 10, it dissipated over the mountains of central Mexico." You should probably change it to something like this: "Winifred quickly weakened after landfall, and weakened to a tropical storm less than three hours later, which was early on October 10. Later on October 10, Winifred weakened to a tropical depression, before dissipating over the mountains of central Mexico."
- Accepted your suggestion.
- Some of the operational data is still missing, like for example, I stated in the other review, it was not known that Winifred peaked as a Category 3 hurricane, rather than a high-end Category 2 hurricane like operationally stated.
- As for impact, when I stated that more impact was needed, I meant stuff like rainfall data in other areas of Mexico, like the Yucatan Peninsula, since it is only limited to Colima and Michoacán.
- In the references, there are some references where there are specific dates, but it is simply put as "(1992)", such as on the Discussions. In addition, there is inconsistency with the accessdates, like "Retrieved 3-26-11." and "Retrieved 2011-01-02." Also on Reference #9, you have last name first, but first name first on other references. Furthermore, there are many typos/spelling errors; I will quote the reference and then use bold to show the mistake.
- Reference 2: Lixod Avila (1992). "Tropical Storm Winfred Discussion 4". National Hurricane Center. Retrieved 3-26-11. - Lixion and Winifred is misspelled.
- Reference 3: Robert Pasch (1992). "Tropical Storm Winfred Discussion 5". National Hurricane Center. Retrieved 2011-3-26. - Robert? Wrong first name, and Winifred is again misspelled.
- Reference 4: Max Lawrence (1992). "Hurricane Winfred Discussion 8". National Hurricane Center. Retrieved 2011-3-26. - Max? Again, wrong first name, and Winifred is misspelled yet again.
- Reference 5: Max Mayfiled (1992). "Hurricane Winfred Discussion 10". National Hurricane Center. Retrieved 2011-3-26. - Mayfield is misspelled, and once again, Winifred is misspelled.
