Review section[edit]
This is a 2006 promotion with some deficiencies noted on talk last month; they should be easy to deal with, but haven't been. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:52, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- I haven't taken much time to review the article (it almost certainly does need to be brought back up to speed), but from the aforementioned talk page thread:
I'm confused by the very first sentence of the lead which states it "was the second deadliest tropical cyclone in the history of the United States, behind only the 1900 Galveston hurricane" because, later in the article, the (unsourced and possibly outdated) table titled 'Deadliest Atlantic hurricanes' lists Mitch as having surpassed both.
- The US isn't the only nation bordering the Atlantic Ocean. Not sure how those two stats could be contradictory in any way. – Juliancolton | Talk 03:35, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Juliancolton, I'm having the same problem with this article I'm finding in many older storm articles; data is not cited in the lead, and it isn't always found in the body of the article. I can't find the 4,000 deaths in the body of the article; it would be good to cite data in the lead. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:16, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Hurricanehink is working on it. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:21, 3 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There is inconsistent formatting of author names in the citations. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:57, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Move to FARC, to keep process on target, and Hurricane can indicate if he is able to fix the remaining issues as the FARC unfolds. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 13:23, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry for the delay. I was camping, and I'm back. I'll happily address any issues that come up. I'm currently working with @12george1: to fix it up. It's already substantially improved from what it was. I'll work on the referencing today. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:45, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- Concerns raised in the review section include referencing and prose/MOS. Nikkimaria (talk) 12:34, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I believe that recent edits between @12george1: and I have remedied the problems. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:32, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
