GA Review

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

---

This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

1. Is it well written?

   A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:

   In the Storm history section, this sentence ---> "Late on October 16" doesn't read right, it would be best if it were re-written.

   Check. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 19:11, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

   B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:

   In the Storm history section, un-link all the dates, per the new MoS of Dates. Same section, it would be best to link "Manzanillo, Mexico" once, per here.

   Half-check. "Manzanillo, Mexico" is still linked twice. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 19:11, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

   Check. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 20:25, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

2. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?

   A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:

   B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):

   C. It contains no original research:

   D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:

   B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):

4. Is it neutral?

   It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:

5. Is it stable?

   It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:

6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?

   A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:

   B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   If the following statements can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article!

Just of note, I removed autoformatted dates with a script, thus that issue is resolved. –Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 21:26, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I've rewrote the sentence. Also, thanks Julian for helping out with the dates. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 18:43, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Haha, I had it linked in Four paragraphs. I removed three, the linked one is in the first paragraph of the storm history.

It was alright to have it linked in the Preparations and Impact section. ;) The only reason I called it out was because it was linked three times in the Storm section. Either way, congratulations Cyclonebiskit you now have a GA in your midst. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 20:25, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
