# Talk:Tropical Storm Amelia (1978)

A good little article.  But the intro needs some work, and as always, more content! Jdorje 07:50, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
I did as much as I could for sourcing and content. I know the writing is a bit shabby, but I hope I did a good job in improving this. Hurricane Angel Saki (talk) 20:40, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Since this is the wettest tropical cyclone to impact Texas and the lower 48, and the resultant flooding from the system was severe, I'd think the importance of this article is at least mid.  Thegreatdr (talk) 14:26, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

That category is populated by lots of retired named storms, which tells me this article is probably of only specialist interest.Potapych (talk) 15:17, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
It could also mean that some of the retired storms might need to be raised in importance.  If Amelia occurred today, the name would likely be retired, just like Allison (2001).  Thegreatdr (talk) 15:20, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

The article looks good to go at this point. I've made quite a few copyedits, though, so please check those and make sure you're happy! I'm going to wait to pass the article until I have your approval on the changes I've made, but at this point I think that's mainly a formality. Please let me know if you have any questions, Dana boomer (talk) 17:05, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! I have no problem with the edits you've made. I'm not terribly good with copyedits, so I appreciate your changes. And I have no questions. Thanks for the review! Hurricane Angel Saki (talk) 18:00, 27 December 2011 (UTC)

I propose the name of the page be changed from "Tropical Storm Amelia (1978)" to "Tropical Storm Amelia".
Why, you may ask?

Tropical Storm Amelia was only used for an Atlantic storm once.
Despite being used for two storms in the Australian basin, they were titled as Cyclones, not Tropical Storms.

Tropical Storm Amelia (1978) → Tropical Storm AmeliaTropical Storm Amelia – Only 1 system in the Atlantic named Amelia, i know there was 2 other Amelias, but those were cyclones, and plus, this one was more notable.
