# Talk:Hurricane Cosme (1989)

Note that the Preparations and impact section was derived entirely from the 1989 Pacific hurricane season article. –Juliancolton | Talk 04:10, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

You should probably include the rainfall graphic for Cosme into this article.  If you don't know how, I could do it for you.  Also, reference 12 was published two months from now?  You can't mix different date styles in the reference section...it could be a problem for GA.  Thegreatdr (talk) 02:12, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
I can't review the article's GAN, since I was the initial contributor, but I think a longer lead is needed. –Juliancolton | Talk 17:54, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Meteorological history
However, it was characterized by favorable outflow and banding. - reads poorly, consider rewording.
Operationally, the storm was not named until several hours later - Ref one doesn't back this up.
June 21;[2] this.. perhaps exchange semi-colon for period.
it reached maximum sustained winds of 85 mph (140 km/h) both "mph" and "km/h" should be linked.
Add link to "barometric pressure" as well.
During the night of June 21 perhaps exchange "the night" for a time-span (e.g. "From hours eight to twelve...")
Preparations and impact
Mexican officials evacuated nearly 260 people Personally I think it should be spelt out, but per WP:ORDINAL it is not required.
flash flood watches and warnings were issued. [7]  there should not be a space between the ref and period.

Forgotten comments....
weakening into a tropical storm shortly after coming ashore..[2] - two periods
High winds produced by the storm knocked down numerous trees and power lines throughout the affected areas. - instead of "knocked down", maybe use "damaged" or "struck"
The highest rainfall recorded in relation to Cosme was 16.1 in (410 mm) in Yautepec San Bartolo, Mexico - change "Yautepec San Bartolo" to "San Bartolo Yautepec" add link to it.
Many adobe homes were destroyed, but a specific cost of damage is unknown. - change "a" to "the"
flash flood watches and warnings were issued. [7]  - still should not be a space between the ref and period.
