Timeline of the 2007 Pacific hurricane season edit

Just finished copyediting, cleaning up, expanding, and improving. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 19:38, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Julian, did you forget that date autoformatting is now deprecated? And actually, so are concealed links, such as your [[1950-1969 Pacific hurricane seasons|1966]], which not only discourages readers from clicking on it (same old boring year link?), but is misleading as to the content. If I knew what the article was, I'd be much more interested. Here's a tip: why not avoid the link altogether in the lead and spell it out in full (even with an extended note about what began in 1966) in the "See also" section? More interesting; more reader-friendly. Tony (talk) 11:53, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments - sources look okay, links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 12:15, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • "transitions, as well as dissipation." – "transitions, and dissipation."
  • "The timeline also includes information which was not operationally released, meaning that information from post-storm reviews by the National Hurricane Center, such as information on a storm that was not operationally warned on, have been included" – "The timeline also includes information which was not operationally released such as information from post-storm reviews by the National Hurricane Center, which include information on a storm that was not operationally warned on." – or something along those lines. At least get rid of the improperly used "meaning"; some redundancy in the sentence, too
  • "seasonal ACE was" – ACE is what?
  • "Tropical Storm Barbara in June caused $55 million (2007 USD) in crop damage in southeastern Mexico from heavy precipitation.[" – "Tropical Storm Barbara caused $55 million (2007 USD) in crop damage in southeastern Mexico from heavy precipitation in June.["
  • "Eastern Pacific " – capitalized differently from earlier
  • "Central Pacific" – should also follow suit
  • "threatening Hawaii but causing little damage" – "and threatened Hawaii but caused little damage"

All done, thanks. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 13:27, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "which include information on a storm that was not operationally warned on." – "which include information on storms that were not operationally warned." – I'm not even sure what the sentence means. "operationally warned"?

Clarified. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 13:17, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I copyedited a bit of redundancy out of it, but I still don't understand what it means. When I Google the phrase "operationally warned on", it brings me back to this FLC, so I don't know what it means. This probably means that there's a better way to phrase it. Gary King (talk) 17:26, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's no different than the word "operationally", really. The word means, essentially, that the subject was noticed at the time it existed. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 17:40, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Add the format=PDF field to all PDF web references.
  • "Tropical Storm Barbara in June"-->In June, Tropical Storm Barbara...
  • Is there no need of a colon when writing UTC time?
  • "the hurricane threatened Hawaii" What does it mean to "threaten"?
    • In this context, to "threaten" means to threaten to affect an area, but turn away before doing so.
