Timeline of the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season

Another timeline. I think now that I've had two similar FLCs, I have these articles down to a science. –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 17:29, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Don't like "Below is a ..." - try not to worry to much about getting a tidy bold title, instead go for a really catchy, engaging lead.
"...information on a storm that was not operationally warned on..." -reads oddly - two "on"s together and it's not 100% clear (to me!) what "operationally warned on" means.
"...United States; and the first..." - not sure a semi-colon is really required.
"But activity was slowed ..." - I always try to avoid starting a sentence with "But..."
"...only the second such event on record. " - what was the actual event? A storm that lasted a month? Or until January? It's not 100% clear.
"The year 2006 begins..." - no need to repeat 2006 (in my opinion).
"winds.[5]).[nb 1]" - rogue parenthesis I think?
Gordon's "extratropical" is linked - why? It's unlinked both before and after...
July 21 wind speed needs conversion.
Not sure you need to relink nautical miles every time it's used.

That's ya lot. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:12, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support - article is well-done, although I really don't agree with the date bolding, its an eyesore. But otherwise, well-done.Mitch32^(UP) 00:37, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Removed bolding, thanks. –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 00:46, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support, agreed, the list is well done. One clarification requested though: You state in the lead that TS Zeta was only the second such event ever recorded as existing across two calendar years, implying this includes all parts of the globe. In the list itself, it is stated that it was the second such event in the Atlantic. Which of these statements is the most accurate? Resolute 02:45, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Fixed. –Juliancolton ^Tropical ^Cyclone 02:48, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
