List of Baja California Peninsula hurricanes[edit]

Self-nom. I just moved this list to the main namespace today, and I think that it is suitable for becoming another featured list. It meets all of the criteria. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 19:42, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Improper date linking. Rmhermen 19:58, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It needs a picture at the top of the page on the right. Also, it varies between present and past tense. Hurricanehink (talk) 20:17, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • It should be all past tense now. Also, it is intended that a track map be an image in the top right. When it is created it will be put there. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 22:28, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Good. I recommend you add a bit about warnings; maybe mention the breakpoints (not necessarily all of them). In some places the wording isn't the best. For example, the pre-1929 section starts the same way for all but the first one: A tropical cyclone... It gets a little repetitive and boring. "was "clobbered"" is a bit unprofessional. I recommend you combine pre-1929 with 1930-1949, seeing as how short they are. Also, aren't the years supposed to be linked when they are first used?

      • It should now link each year the first time it is used in a date. Rmherman, if this is not what you were referring to please be more specific. Also, there is now a section on breakpoints, the first two subsections in the main part of the list should now be merged, and the prose in those former sections has been edited.

        • Good. You should finish the Cite web template indicating the year, author, and publisher. Also, some of the more notable storms should get more length (the longest sections are three lines long, so more info can't hurt). I'll support now.

  • Full dates (including years) have to be fully linked every time to fully enable Wikipedia's date preferences. See also MOS:DATE Rmhermen 16:53, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • The appropriate parts of a specific date should all be linked now, although I'm not sure how to handle a range of dates. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 23:29, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • There is no way to handle ranges of dates. Don't sweat that part. Rmhermen 00:09, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment For the track map, I suggest you contact Ajm81, as Nilfanion is unavailable due to Acts of God. Titoxd(?!?) 05:59, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Or not. He's back, as he repaired his internet connection after a lightning strike. Titoxd(?!?) 07:12, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per Hurricanehink. s d 3 1 4 1 5 final exams! 16:53, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Death tolls don't match in list and deadly systems sections and also don't match totals in the storms articles. See Ishmael for instance, with numbers ranging from 0 to 116 dead. Rmhermen 00:15, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • The number "116" doesn't appear anywhere in the article... Hurricane Ismael says 116, but of those, a maximum of 57 could have been from the Peninsula (as the rest were deaths within the Mexican mainland). That's what the article reflects... Titoxd(?!?) 00:21, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Fair point but the text should reflect this qualification. Rmhermen 16:06, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • oppose standalone years and months never need to be linked; linking gets in the way of good reading. Only month/day/year work for formatting preferences Hmains 03:04, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
