Flossy or Flossie

Which one is it? The article uses both. 207.203.80.14 14:47, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

It's Flossy. Man, why does this article have both!? RaNdOm26 16:07, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Because when a request was put in for this article, it was spelled with an ie at the end (tropical cyclone project mistake). I found out a little later it ended with a y...I should have checked to make sure as I began the article. Thought I'd changed it all over to the y form. If I missed some occurrences, I'm glad you made the change. Thegreatdr 02:15, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Deaths

Why is there no mention of the 16 fatalities in the Impact section? And the main article says 15 fatalities, which is it? -- §HurricaneERIC§ archive 15:51, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

GA Review

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   The lead could be expanded with a little more information.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

This is very close to GA, but the only problem is the lead. It should be expanded to include the date it formed, the date it became a storm, depression, its peak strength, and weakening. Also, put a few tidbits of damage in. When that is fixed, it will pass. Until then, I've put the article on-hold. Thank you for your work in improving the article thus far, and good luck in improving it to GA status. Juliancolton ^{The storm still blows...} 02:14, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Done, I think. I've also added a couple links to a new See Also section, which are relevant. Thegreatdr (talk) 06:27, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Ok, now that the lead was expanded with more information, the article meets all criteria. Thus, it passes GA. Thank you for your hard work in improving this article to GA status. Juliancolton ^{The storm still blows...} 13:34, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Hurricane Flossy (1956) → Hurricane Flossy – Only one Atlantic hurricane named Flossy. 219.79.250.146 (talk) 01:05, 8 February 2017 (UTC) --Relisting. SkyWarrior 02:44, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

• Support as the target article is a redirect to this article. Laurdecl ^talk 06:22, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
• I'm thinking Hurricane Flossy should probably be retargeted to Tropical Storm Flossie, which lists this storm. This would be similar to how we've handled other alternative spellings like Hurricane Charley (disambiguation). – Juliancolton | ^Talk 13:47, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

Hurricane Flossy (1956) → Hurricane Flossy – Only one Atlantic hurricane named Flossy. B dash (talk) 02:53, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

• Oppose cannot see the advantage of removing the year for events. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:06, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
• Support Unnecessary disambiguation. Wrongly implying there is another hurricane with this name, as the current title does, is NOT helpful to anyone. --В²C ☎ 02:06, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose - Hurricane Flossy should redirect to Tropical Storm Flossie, where there are multiple similar names that were used for tropical cyclones.Nova Crystallis (Talk) 01:18, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
