# Talk:Hurricane Waldo

Start class due to need of copyedit. Also, the MH should include the post-landfall info that's found in the HPC report. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  17:24, 23 July 2011 (UTC)
I've done both and upped to C class. YE  Pacific Hurricane 16:59, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
The 928 mb report seems really sketchy, given its winds. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  18:24, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

Agreed completely, but that's what The MWR said. YE  Pacific Hurricane

The lead should have more impact details, IMO. It is rather vague just saying that there was flooding.
Added a little more.YE  Pacific Hurricane
"October 5 based on daty from ship reports." - typo
 Done.YE  Pacific Hurricane 23:29, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
"The storms began to intensify rapidly." - Storms? You mean "storm"?
Lowercased.YE  Pacific Hurricane
Not done. What I was asking you to do is take the "s" off of "storms" because in this case, it is singular, not plural.--12george1 (talk) 23:50, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
I think I got it now. YE  Pacific Hurricane 00:06, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
"Tropical Storm then began to turn to the north" - Switch to either "The tropical storm" or replace the first two words with Waldo.
Did the later. YE  Pacific Hurricane 23:29, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
"Meanwhile, Hurricane Waldo reached it's" - That should probably just be "its"
Why do always make this mistake???????? 23:29, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
"The peak rainfall total in Mexico from Waldo was 9.61 inches (244 mm) in Jocuixtita/San Igancio, though heavy rain was also recorded along southern Baja California Sur." - The second part isn't really contradictory. So I would remove the word "though" and replace the comma with a semicolon.
I don't like semicolon's, but fixed. YE  Pacific Hurricane 23:29, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
"While no deaths or injuries were reported[5] much farmland and 600 houses were destroyed." - I would add a comma after "reported".
Fine. YE  Pacific Hurricane 23:29, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
"One motorist was stranded for 30 minuets before" - typo
I don't see it.YE  Pacific Hurricane 23:29, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
"minuets"--12george1 (talk) 23:50, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
"The Sedgwick County, the county fire department freed 35 trapped people from rising flood waters," - Change to "In Sedgwick County"
 Done. YE  Pacific Hurricane 23:29, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
"In all, Waldo's rain were comparable to Atlantic" - Change to "Waldo's rains were"
 Done. YE  Pacific Hurricane 23:29, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
Reference #1 has the wrong title. In addition, you should change "Gunther; Cross" to "E.B. Gunther and R.L. Cross"
Fixed. YE  Pacific Hurricane 23:29, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
Reference #4 is a deadlink since its from thehurricanearchive.com. Also, the date should be change to "10-10-1985" so that it is consistent with the other references.
Taken care of. YE  Pacific Hurricane 23:29, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
The author of References #8, #10, and #11 should be the Associated Press.
But there {{cite news}}. YE  Pacific Hurricane 23:29, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
Alright, I will let that slide.--12george1 (talk) 23:46, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
This article now seems good enough to pass for GA.--12george1 (talk) 03:30, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
