replies: text: Well, it also needs to be nominated at WP:GAN, but I think that would be something required to satisfy WP:WIAGA §3 or WP:WIAFA §1.b. Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 23:11, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm working on a rewrite of this article at User:Juliancolton/Sandbox1, and before finishing it off I'd like to get some suggestions, feedback, and maybe a small collaboration to get the article to FA before June 1, 2009. Any comments are appreciated. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 02:32, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Put User:Juliancolton/Sandbox1#Storms above 2007 Atlantic hurricane season#Storms, and you're set. I don't see why we need to remove the listing of storms we have right now. Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 02:38, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rewrite 

message: Quoting from the article:
"The 2007 season was severe in terms of damage. Collectively, storms caused about 416 fatalities and approximately $7.5 million (2007 USD) in damage. [...]  Dean also left $616 million (2007 USD) in damage on Martinique and $154 million (2007 USD) on Guadeloupe."
If the collective damage of the storms was estimated at $7.5 million, Dean alone couldn't have caused $616 million in damage, could it?  Was the $7.5 million number supposed to be billion, with a b?  ekedolphin (talk) 08:01, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Regarding Dean's ACE

message: Dear contributors
MOSNUM no longer encourages date autoformatting, having evolved over the past year or so from the mandatory to the optional after much discussion there and elsewhere of the disadvantages of the system. Related to this, MOSNUM prescribes rules for the raw formatting, irrespective of whether a date is autoformatted or not). MOSLINK and CONTEXT are consistent with this. 
There are at least six disadvantages in using date-autoformatting, which I've capped here:
Removal has generally been met with positive responses by editors. If anyone objects to my proposal to free the dates of autoformatting in the main text in a day or two on a trial basis, please say so below. The original input formatting would be seen by all WPians, not just our millions of readers; it would be plain, unobtrusive text, which would give greater prominence to the high-value links.
Critically, since I’m an FAC reviewer, I want to state in unequivocal terms that if contributors object, this will have absolutely no bearing on my review or declaration at FAC. I’m proposing the action because FAC is an influential process, not because nominators might feel under obligation—in this respect, they shouldn’t. Tony (talk) 04:40, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the dates should not be autoformatted. There are a healthy number of wikilinks in this article already, and the blue dates just confuses the issue. Like Tony I also want to mention that I will be participating in the FAC review, but this matter, being a matter of preference rather than obligation, will not sway my opinion. Plasticup T/C 16:46, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree 100% about the disadvantages to autoformatting. As such, I removed all the links. Cheers, Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 17:30, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Julian—I should have said that I have a script to do it in a jiffy. Tony (talk) 10:19, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, that would have been a luxury! Oh well, it was probably better to give me something to keep me busy for a while. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 13:27, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  proposal to remove date-autoformatting 

message: I'm having trouble deciding what to do about the lead. The word "season" is repeated 12 times in the first two paragraphs, which makes them sound mechanical. For example, stripped of modifiers, the first sentence of the article says "The season was a season". My opinion is that the lead should be re-written in more varied language. Some of the instances of "season"  could simply be dropped, and others could be eliminated by re-phrasing. I think this is a job, though, for the primary contributors rather than a copyeditor. Finetooth (talk) 17:00, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I had some trouble with the lead when I was writing it. I tried to remove or rephrase some of it, but if you feel it needs to be completely rewritten, please let me know. Thanks, Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 17:31, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Repetitions

message: Same along the lines of 2002, 2009, 1994... not sure if there were any others. The list article is not featured, meaning there will be some issues to tackle if that was merged here. Some sections are unsourced, but I am fine with adding sources for all of them to ensure the main article remains featured. Long story short though, there is no need to have two articles containing the exact same information. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  16:31, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
