Hurricane Hernan (2008) edit

Nominator(s): Leave Message orYellow Evan home


It was very simlar to Tropical Storm Erick (2007) but much longer and a little more notable and a little longer lived storm and article was around a little longer (the first EPAC fishspinner to receive an article)Leave Message orYellow Evan home 15:05, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

* Support Although you aren't the main contributor, User:Cyclonebiskit is, but this article covers the storm well and there are many references. I will tell cyclonebiskit now and see what will happen. --Kirk76 1854 Atlantic Hurricane Season 15:19, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

* Oppose this article may be good, but this is not comprehensive or long enough for my taste. --Kirk76 1854 Atlantic Hurricane Season 15:23, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose The fact that every single statement is sourced to a single publication worries me; I would like to see more variety in content and sourcing. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 16:16, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure what you mean.Leave Message orYellow Evan home 16:26, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

*Oppose even though I've done basically all of the work for this article, it is definitely not ready for FAC....For one, I don't have "Professional writing" and nor do you. Another is that I haven't updated it with the TCR information. That should quick fail it because it's not up to date...Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:02, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]


First, update before anything else.Leave Message orYellow Evan home 17:05, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment It's going to take a bit to update the article, and once it is finished, I still doubt it will pass FAC. Also, Fishspinner is not a word. The term you're thinking of is fish storm, a storm that doesn't affect land and there have been many article before Erick to receive FA in the EPAC. Before you go any further with the FAC's, do not add any of the articles that you've created and I've significantly expanded or will expand. That means Hurricane Elida (2008) and Hurricane Boris of the same year. My work is not FA quality for the record. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:30, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]


1. we use fishspinner a lot although it is not a real word. 2. i think it worth a try. 3. Eilda will probably be featured soon. Leave Message orYellow Evan home 18:28, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Do not put Elida up for FAC, it will not pass. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 20:38, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support in the following way:
Comprehension: OK
Detail: Quite impressive
Sources: I would think there would be some more out there, but the sources that are available are quite comprehensive.

My decision: a tiny bit more sources, if there are any, and we'll have the first deserving FA of the 2008 Pacific hurricane season series. --Dylan620 (talk) 22:17, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Well...as long as someone other than Evan has given it support, I guess I'll work on it. Thanks, I'll try and get some other sources and and update it with the TCR data. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 23:28, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment That also means I've removed my opposition to FA. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 23:31, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This is my last time of changing Support because it is now up to date. --Kirk76 1854 Atlantic Hurricane Season 00:20, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Added two other sources from Fox news and updated the article according to the TCR. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 02:49, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment isnt it too early to chuck this article up at FAC since the TC season isnt over yet Jason Rees (talk) 15:09, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
