Timeline of the 2003 Atlantic hurricane season

[edit]

I am nominating this page as a featured list candidate because I believe it meets the standards for a Featured list. It is also a great addition to the almost, in my opinion, one of the best series of articles from WPTC, the 2003 Atlantic hurricane season. All thoughts and comments are welcome.

  • "This timeline..." Don't start the article like this, start with a contextual lead sentence: "The 2003 Atlantic hurricane season was an active Atlantic hurricane season with tropical activity before and after the official bounds of the season – the first such occurrence in 50 years." Do not bold. Move the sentence describing the timeline to the end of the first paragraph.
  • Why is there an empty graphic with colored bars at the beginning of the timeline?
  • "due the the impact caused in Bermuda" Typo?
  • "Hurricane Fabian, Hurricane Isabel, and Hurricane Juan all had their names"
  • "Both Fabian and Juan were the worst hurricanes to hit their respective areas causing a total of $450 million in damages and 16 fatalities."-->Both Fabian and Juan were the worst hurricanes to hit their respective areas, causing $450 million in damages and 16 fatalities. Needs a source also.
  • "This season had 21 tropical depressions, 16 named storms, seven hurricanes, and three major hurricanes, i.e. those" Per WP:MOSNUM, write comparative quantities consistently (either spell them all out or write them all as digits). Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (abbreviations), i.e. should be in italics. Link [[Tropical cyclone scales|major hurricanes]].
  • "The most notable storms of the season were the three storms which had their names retired." This sentence is reptitious, I suggest that you delete it.
  • Isabel peaked as a powerful Category 5 hurricane over the open waters of the Atlantic before weakening to a category two and impacting the east coast of the United States causing $3.6 billion in damages and 51 fatalities.-->Isabel peaked as a Category 5 hurricane over the open waters of the Atlantic; however, it weakened to a category two before impacting the east coast of the United States, causing $3.6 billion in damages and 51 fatalities. This sentence also needs a source.
  • "Hurricane Isabel strengthens into a Category 5 hurricane, becoming the strongest storm of the season with winds peaking at 165 mph (270 km/h) and a minimum pressure of 915 mbar (hPa; (27.03 inHg)."-->Hurricane Isabel strengthens into a Category 5 hurricane, becoming the strongest storm of the season; winds peaked at 165 mph (270 km/h) and the minimum pressure was 915 mbar (hPa; (27.03 inHg).
  • "Tropical Storm Ana looses tropical characteristics"—Typo.
  • "Tropical Storm Mindy forms 80 mi (130 km) northeast" Why is this the only measurement that is abbreviated?
  • Spell out what NOAA stands for. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:10, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, my bad. I'll go fix those now. As for the timeline image, there is a bug on the site, there's nothing I can do for now since it's affecting all newly created timeline images. It has been reported by Matthiasb as bug 16085. Guess I should probably make fixes when I'm at home and not during lunch at school;) Cyclonebiskit (talk) 15:44, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If the timeline image is a bug, then for now, it is an unactionable issue, so I will support because the other issues were resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 16:30, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Very detailed, and would make a fine addition to the 2003 AHS series. --Dylan620 (Home • yadda yadda yadda • Ooooohh!) 17:22, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
