Timeline of the 1992 Atlantic hurricane season edit

I am nominating this timeline article for featured list candidacy because I feel it satisfies the criteria. While not being a great follower of hurricanes/tropical cyclones I've based this of many similar lists, capturing the same comprehensiveness. I believe the lead is sufficient, the timeline image accurate, and the timeline itself to be complete, also accompanied by images. Cheers. Sunderland06 (talk) 02:35, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • The season officially started on June 1 2007, and finished on November 30; however Subtropical Storm One formed outside the official timeline on April 21. - 1)remove the comma before and 2)I don't think the season began in 2007?? Done - Removed comma and really can't believe 2007 wasn't brought up at peer review.
  • It produced a total of seven storms, less than the average of ten usually formed throughout an Atlantic hurricane season; while four of the storms went on to become hurricanes. - the semi colon isn't right, it should be a comma Done - Changed to comma.
  • Tropical Storm Danielle made landfall at the Delmarva Peninsula on the Virginian coast on 25 September causing minimal flooding. - 1)consistency with the date formatting (Day Month) (Month Day) Done - Changed to month-day.
  • Its not clear in the prose which was the first storm formed "officially" (not Subtropical Storm One), and the last one formed.
    • What I meant by this is that you should add in which was the first storm to "officially" begin in the season, and the last storm to "officially" finish the season.--TRUCO 15:44, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • I understand what you meant. However, how doesn't subtropical storm one count as an official cyclone? Sunderland06 (talk) 17:02, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        • Subtropical Storm One counts as the first tropical cyclone. However, Andrew was the first named storm. 17:42, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
          • Right, I've added Hurricane Frances to ending the season, but I think I've made it clear which one started it. Cheers. Sunderland06 (talk) 17:47, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
            • But, Subtropical Storm One formed outside the official timeline on April 21. - so the first storm of the official timeline should be noted.--TRUCO 18:39, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
              • Right, I know what you mean now, I've added it in. Sunderland06 (talk) 18:55, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Tropical Storm Bonnie strengthens to Hurricane Bonnie - "into" not to Done - Changed to that.
  • The season officially ends in November, but the reader is left in question as to what happened to Tropical Storm Frances after it becomes extratropical, since it formed in the 1992 season. Done - Added disspated after becoming an extratropical gale.
  • Why not add the 1992 Pacific season in the See also section? Done - Added. --TRUCO 03:22, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A very well written timeline but the only thing i can see wrong with the timeline is that there are brackets obscuring the UTC times eg (1800 UTC).Jason Rees (talk) 03:27, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I've gone ahead and removed these. Sunderland06 (talk) 15:34, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Local time needs to be added in to the timeline Jason Rees (talk) 00:12, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Several of the storms don't have where they formed in relation to land. Comment - While reading the reports on the NHC website, some did not mention where they formed.
TD One- formed 220 mi (355 km) northwest of Havana, Cuba
TD Two- formed 305 mi (490 km) southeast of Bermuda
Andrew- formed 775 mi (1,245 km) southwest of Brava, Cape Verde
Bonnie- formed 345 mi (555 km) east-northeast of Bermuda
Frances (as an EX-low)- formed 475 mi (765 km) southeast of Bermuda
Hope that helps :) Cyclonebiskit 18:07, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Cheers a lot for that Cyclonebiskit, I've added them all in. Sunderland06 (talk) 18:27, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Some of the units are in nautical miles, which is generally discouraged. The units for an Atlantic based article should be in imperial with metric conversion in parenthesis Done - There is miles with kilometers in brackets.
  • I'm just wondering as to why there are so many wind speeds compared to other timelines, not that I find anything wrong with it, it just seems strange Comment - Not sure really, I saw it in a timeline NuclearWarfare was working on and decided to use it, as I'm not very common with the usual method.
Other than those few things, this is a very well made timeline, especially since it's your first WPTC article. I hope to see more of your articles in the future for the project :D Cyclonebiskit 00:25, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
