Talk:Effects of Hurricane Wilma in Florida

message: Created the article due to request from Wilma page.  It needed significant reorganization.  At least four dead links had to be removed.  Thegreatdr 19:06, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Article creation

message: The lead section could use some expansion, and the article seems incomplete. These sort of articles usually have a section on preparation, noting when the hurricane watch was issued and any evacuation orders. Might want to compare the similar-topic featured articles Effects of Hurricane Isabel in Delaware and Effects of Hurricane Isabel in North Carolina. Gimmetrow 06:00, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Added preparation from main Wilma article pertaining to Florida into this article.  The lead has also been reworked.  Thegreatdr 14:41, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Lead is better. The preparation content from the Wilma article also belongs there. One article should have the full info (probably this article), and the other should have a summary of the major points. See Wikipedia:Summary style. Gimmetrow 18:40, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Placed a shortened version of the Florida preparations back into the Wilma article.  Changed were made to the lead.  What else do you think is missing?  Thegreatdr 19:23, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Content-wise, it seems broad enough, however a lot of it is not cited. The section on power outages, for instance - the numbers came from somewhere, no? The other general issue is prose. A problem in the lead was just fixed. In the orange futures paragraph, it says "orange futures reached", "potential could have an impact" and "this is compounded". Mismatched verb tenses are a recurring problem. The paragraph "CNN reports" also has "were reported". This sentence - "Even while the center of Wilma was still a long way away from Florida, its effects were felt from its expansive outer bands" - doesn't fit well where it is. I would suggest trying to structure the article in a time sequence, keeping the pre-landfall items prior to the post-landfall items. Gimmetrow 06:13, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Fixed the orange juice futures wording.  I don't see the CNN reports section, so my guess is someone else got to it.  Someone else got to the power failure number reference...last weekend I could not find a working reference for that line.  Its original reference went dead between 2005 and now.  Thegreatdr 14:14, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, I added that ref, and just tidied up a few more. At least one link is dead, by the way. Gimmetrow 17:46, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Brief comments regarding GA candidate 

message: The statements regarding hurricane related deaths appear incorrect. The article states, "At least 35 Hurricane Wilma-related deaths were reported in the United States, all in Florida. Wilma was also blamed for at least 26 indirect deaths.[1][2]"  There is no support in the references for either of those numbers (26 or 35.)  According to the NHC's report [13], there were 5 deaths in FL attributed directly to the hurricane.  News media also provide numbers that include indirect casualties, but I've found no reports of that number reaching 26 or 35.  I found a total number (direct + indirect) of 21 at MSNBC Does anyone have any other references?  Petecat 23:36, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hurricane related deaths 

message: As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "Meteorology and atmospheric sciences" articles. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. I have made several minor corrections throughout the article. Altogether the article is well-written and is still in great shape after its passing in 2007. Continue to improve the article making sure all new information is properly sourced and neutral. I would recommend adding a source for: "The airport reported $12 million in damages, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel." It would also be beneficial to go through the article and update all of the access dates of the inline citations and fix any dead links. I have also tagged some of the images to be moved to Wikimedia Commons, so if you have an account, consider moving them. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have updated the article history to reflect this review. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 08:12, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: GA Sweeps Review: Pass

message: This article needs more info for it to maintain its GA-Class standing. 164.106.202.50 (talk) 16:02, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: More Info!

message: During the re-assessment, I mentioned to User:Secret that I could probably list 100 reasons why this article should be de-listed. As a person who lived in South Florida during Hurricane Wilma, I was beyond disappointed by the quality and lack of information in this article. Not sure if I can get 100, but here is 30 reasons and how the article can be improved in the future. I could keep going, but I have stuff to do tonight.--12george1 (talk) 22:24, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
