Evaluating Articles and Sources

Meteorological history of Hurricane Katrina https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteorological_history_of_Hurricane_Katrina

• All the information in the article remained focused on the science behind the storm. It didn't go into impacts from the storm, as that wouldn't qualify as meteorological history.
• I didn't see any sort of claims with any bias.
• This article lacks viewpoints; it is simply a meteorological history.
• Every link appears to work. The ones that I checked are reports from the NHS and NOAA, and other weather service stations across the united states. Citations are provided after sentences and paragraphs.
• In the talk page, most of the issues were to do with technical things. For instance, 15 mph was equated to 15 km/hr. Another had to do with the number of deaths being correlated with correlated with it being a maximum strength storm.
• It is part of WikiProject Tropical Cyclones, could not find an official rating.
• Unlike our class, the article doesn't get into heavy dynamical details such as omega and potential vorticity.

Hurricane force wind warning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_force_wind_warning

• Everything in this article is related to the topic of hurricane wind warnings. There were no claims or bias. In fact, it presented a warning from the NWS in Portland.
• There was only one listed source from the NWS. The second half of the text didnt have a source. However, it was purely factual, as it talked about the use of flags.
• There are no discussions on the talk page, but it belongs to several WikiProjects including Severe Weather.
• This article discusses how wind advisories are given and the qualification for them. Our class focuses more on the dynamics behind the wind.
