List of New York hurricanes

[edit]

I wrote this article several months ago, with little knowledge of what a featured list should be. I rewrote it a month or so ago, with better knowledge of what an FL should be. Now, I firmly believe that this article meets all criteria for a featured list. Thanks, Juliancolton (Happy St. Patrick's day!) 21:56, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comments - I've made a small change in the lead, decapping List, so it's correct English (!), but a few other observations:
    • New York is wikilinked twice in consecutive sentences.
    • A touch confusing, it starts as a list of hurricanes, which then becomes cyclones and then storms. They may well be synonymous but it's a little confusing.
    • A little bit of overlinking in the sections, e.g. Long Island in the pre 1800 section is linked twice. I don't mind linking once in each section but don't think it should be more than that...
    • "...becomes extratropical. As cold air fed into the system." - needs fix.
    • Rhode Island overlinked in 1800-99 section.
    • "pressure of 28.87 " - units?
    • Keep citations in numerical order - there's a [11][10] there at the moment.
    • "28.47 inches" - should this be converted to metric?
    • "6 people killed and 1 person injured" - six and one.
    • "no known damages." -shouldn't damage just be singular.
    • "960 mbar" - should this be converted to imperial (inches?)
    • "entirety causes $460 " - is that all?! (question really) I suspect a million is missing...
    • 120 mph (200 km/h) and 120 mph (195 km/h). - presumably one isn't using the convert template?
    • "6 deaths" - six.
    • " drops 2.83 (70 mm) " - missing an inches here? Again, not using {{convert}}?
    • 60 mph.[79] is missing its conversion.
    • 3.91 (99 mm) missing inches again.
    • Number of deaths heading in the Deadly storms table is rendering incorrectly. It appears to have too many rows. Put a break between Number and of deaths so the column is much narrower, and consider centrally aligned the values. You could also make this table sortable so you can order it by year or by alphabetical order on the hurricane (you'd probably need to use the {{sort}} template here).
    • Seven dead links when I checked this morning with this.
  • Still a good list but a fair few points before I can support. All the best The Rambling Man (talk) 11:46, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support conditional on the dead link being replaced. Good stuff. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:13, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
