Timeline of the 1994 Atlantic hurricane season[edit]

This is a collaborative effort between myself and Cyclonebiskit (talk · contribs), so consider this a co-nom. –Juliancolton Happy Holidays 03:56, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments - great list

  • The timeline also includes information which was not operationally released, meaning that information from post-storm reviews by the National Hurricane Center, such as information on a storm that was not operationally warned upon. - this sentence is confusing, consider revising.
  • Tropical Storm Alberto produced significant rainfall and flooding in the Southeastern United States, damaging or destroying over 18,000 homes, and inflicting $750 million (1994 USD) in total damages. - wouldn't it be and instead of or
    • Not necessarily; the storm affected 18,000 homes, of which some were destroyed, and others were only damaged. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 02:46, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • In the second paragraph, I would add the months to the storms which you don't have them for, like Gordon
  • Be consistent with the publishers, ref #1 and ref #2 are the same publisher but are written differently.--SRX 02:29, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
    • Actually, it's standard to spell out an abbreviation in its first occurrence. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 02:46, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Well its spelled out in ref#6, the third occurrence, so I think there should be some consistency made, and possibly add (acronym here) to the first occurrence in the publisher.--SRX 03:20, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
  • Support-my comments were resolved to meet WP:WIAFL.--SRX 15:32, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
    • Support, all issues resolved. Dabomb87 (talk) 18:18, 29 December 2008 (UTC) [reply]

    • "The timeline also includes information which was not operationally released, which is information from post-storm reviews by the National Hurricane Center." Can we fix the repetition of "information"?
    • "Tropical Storm Alberto produced significant rainfall and flooding in the Southeastern United States, damaging or destroying over 18,000 homes, and inflicting $750 million (1994 USD) in total damages." Readers will understand that the amount is the total unless there was reason to believe otherwise.
    • One dab link needs to be fixed.
    • "Hurricane Gordon in November was the most significant storm, causing damages from Costa Rica to North Carolina during its six landfalls." What do you mean by "significant"?
    • "approximately "-->about; it's simpler. Dabomb87 (talk) 15:20, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    I've corrected all but the one for Gordon being significant. I'm not sure in which way Julian meant Gordon was significant so I'll leave that to him. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 15:34, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Gordon was the longest-lived storm of the season, and it caused the most damage and fatalities. I'll see if I can clarify that. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 16:02, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
