Talk:Tropical Depression Two-E (2006)/GA1

GA Review

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch
The article is great. It satisfies the GA criteria. However, I am placing its promotion on hold until one thing is cleared up. The article currently states "at 1500 UTC on June 3 the NHC classified the system as Tropical Depression Two-E". This statement is not directly cited but the time of classification is noted in two of the references: [1] says "1800 UTC" and [2] says "1500 GMT". Is this one of these sources in error? or am I missing something? If there are two values floating around perhaps the statement in the article should be cited directly to one of those. Also, the article states "partially flooded 42 houses" and is referenced to [3] which states "about 40 homes" - 42 seems oddly specific.

Also, this won't disqualify the article from GA status, but I thought I'd bring it up here. "developed good outflow" - perhaps something more descriptive than good would be better. Illustrative adjectives can also help avoid losing readers to other articles if they can catch the meaning without reading another article. --maclean 21:49, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Wow, you really checked the thing out closely, nice! :) The sentence is cited by the next reference, which says 1500z (z meaning Zulu, which is UTC). The flooding thing was me getting a tad confused in translation, but you're right, it should be "about 40 homes". For the "good outflow", that was the wording in the source. Sometimes the source is more specific, saying something like well-defined outflow. It's not really the case here, and I can't think of a better wording than that. Thanks for the review, and I hope I cleared that up. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:37, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

OK, thanks. I have no other concerns regarding the article. --maclean 18:57, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
