Talk:Hurricane Kathleen

message: Hurricane Kathleen was not a hurricane when its remnants affected California.  It's grossly misleading to categorize it as a "California hurricane".  The most remarkable thing about California weather is that no hurricane has ever made landfall here, because the offshore waters are far too cool. Tmangray 19:26, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: References

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Hurricane Kathleen (1976)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "Williams":
From List of Pacific hurricanes: 
From List of California hurricanes: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 16:13, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Orphaned references in [[:Hurricane Kathleen (1976)]] 

message: Since I created and DYK'd this article, I am ineligible to conduct a GA review. However, I can leave comments:
* Some old versions of the List of historic tropical cyclone names (eg this one) mention that "Kate replaced Kathleen in 1976". The only Kathleen this could possibly be referring to is this one. Perhaps it should be investigated as to whether the EPHC actually did retire this name and then somehow de jure "unretired", or if this was just an error on our/the sources used for that version's part(s). (I wouldn't put it past them to retire this name, as this system may not unreasonably be considered the worst PH to affect the Continental US since the EPHC era began. From an outside perspective, Tico, Lidia, Norma, Liza, Tara, Paul, and one with the same name as yours truly had as good, if not better, case for retirement, but that's an OT debate in itself). The 1977 op plan (which as of this writing isn't available would probably provide the definitive answer, unless someone else knows (I'm thinking of you).
**I have noticed thst before, but I have no evidence to back that up. Quiet interesting though. If I don't forget, Ill ask DR to comment here. YE  Pacific Hurricane 02:57, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: Got it, a few lines up from bottom left. Piont Enegia Peninsula => Point Eugenia peninsula, three words are typos no wonder the pdf search didn't find it. Regards, SunCreator (talk) 14:45, 21 July 2012 (UTC)
