If the article is not progressing fast enough for your liking, you can help out.  Thegreatdr 03:36, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Which one is it? The article uses both. 207.203.80.14 14:47, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

It's Flossy. Man, why does this article have both!? RaNdOm26 16:07, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Because when a request was put in for this article, it was spelled with an ie at the end (tropical cyclone project mistake).  I found out a little later it ended with a y...I should have checked to make sure as I began the article.  Thought I'd changed it all over to the y form.  If I missed some occurrences, I'm glad you made the change. Thegreatdr 02:15, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Why is there no mention of the 16 fatalities in the Impact section? And the main article says 15 fatalities, which is it? -- §HurricaneERIC§ archive 15:51, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:

Overall:
Pass/Fail: 

This is very close to GA, but the only problem is the lead. It should be expanded to include the date it formed, the date it became a storm, depression, its peak strength, and weakening.  Also, put a few tidbits of damage in.  When that is fixed, it will pass. Until then, I've put the article on-hold. Thank you for your work in improving the article thus far, and good luck in improving it to GA status. Juliancolton The storm still blows... 02:14, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Done, I think.  I've also added a couple links to a new See Also section, which are relevant.  Thegreatdr (talk) 06:27, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Ok, now that the lead was expanded with more information, the article meets all criteria. Thus, it passes GA. Thank you for your hard work in improving this article to GA status. Juliancolton The storm still blows... 13:34, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
