I am nominating this for featured list because I feel that it is extremely well-referenced and the prose is of high quality. Thanks for your consideration, HurricaneFan25 13:35, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It was odd to me at first, for example, to not see Ioke listed. Sure, it topped out at Category 5, but that still means it was Category 4 as well. So at the very least, the scope of the list needs to be specified or clarified. Looking at the list of Cat 4 Atlantic storms, the intro specifies that storms which reached Cat 5 strength are not included, this needs to do that as well. --Golbez (talk) 17:21, 14 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • You need to add rowscopes to the tables, I've done the first line as an example in case you're unsure about how to do this
  • ref 1 needs format=PDF adding to it, think all the other PDFs have this

All addressed; I fixed the landfalls table too. HurricaneFan25 — 15:58, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yep looks good, one more query, you use mention the saffir-simpson scale a lot without clarifying exactly what it is, I think you need to do this so the reader understands what it is. NapHit (talk) 16:13, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment

As I've already conferred with you, a have a problem with the first image caption. Saying that a Category 4 hurricane was the most intense one not to attain Category 5 status is like saying a Category 2 hurricane (Let's take Rina for example) was the most intense one not to attain Category 3 status. Doesn't make much sense, does it? I may have some more comments over the coming days. – TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 23:37, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Meh, removed part of it... ?. HurricaneFan25 — 00:00, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Makes more sense now, thanks. – TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 00:03, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –
  • "is used for tropical cyclones that have winds ranging 131–155 mpg." Surely this needs "from" before the actual range?
  • Statistics and background: "At that time, the advisories were written in cooperation with the with the United States Navy Fleet Weather Center...". Two excess words need removal.
  • Minor, but the abbreviations could be moved outside the blue links.
    It should be formatted as such per this, though I could limit the blue link to the abbreviation if you want. HurricaneFan25 — 15:12, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The National Hurricane Center's authority extended to the EPHC in 1988, and began maintaining the tracks in 1988." The authority maintained the tracks, or the center? If the latter, the sentence needs some fixing up in that regard. Maybe try "extended its authority" in the beginning?
  • All images need alt text.
  • Landfalls: All em dashes in the text are faulty; they should be either unspaced em dashes or spaced en dashes, depending on style preference.
  • Hyphen in the title of ref 1 should be an en dash per the MoS. We are allowed to make style changes like this in titles, in case you're wondering. Giants2008 (Talk) 02:52, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    All fixed except the one noted.
