Cloud edit

Much has been added to the article since the comments below were made a few years ago. I don't know if it's enough for featured article status, but maybe for 'good article' or B class. A peer review is definitely long overdue. --ChrisCarss Former24.108.99.31 23:17, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would like this article to become a featured article. A peer review would do this. Also, it's an important article for any scientists/schools/colleges to read. --☁SX 11:00, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This needs a fair bit of work. The section on cloud types should be converted to prose, more information should be added to the sections at the end, and inline citations need to be put in for this to go through FAC. I'm not sure about comprehensivity of the article as a whole--it seems to me that a substantial amount of information about the creation and significance of the different types of clouds could be added, for a start. --RobthTalk 14:38, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]


  • Per WP:MOS#Headings, headings generally should not repeat the title of the article. For example, if the article was Ferdinand Magellan, instead of using the heading ==Magellan's journey==, use ==Journey==.
  • The article will need references. See WP:CITE and WP:V for more information.
  • Please provide WP:CITE information for references/footnotes. See also WP:CITE/ES; templates like {{Cite web}} and {{Cite book}} may be useful here.
  • This article needs footnotes, preferably in the cite.php format recommended by WP:WIAFA. Simply, enclose inline citations, with WP:CITE or WP:CITE/ES information, with <ref>THE FOOTNOTE</ref>. At the bottom of the article, in a section named “References” or “Footnotes”, add <div class="references-small"><references/></div>.
  • This article is a bit list-weighty; in other words, some of the lists should be converted to prose (paragraph form).
  • There are a few sections that are too short and that should be either expanded or merged.
  • Per WP:MOSNUM, at Units of measurement, numbers with SI units of measure should have conversions in US customary units and vice versa. These conversions should keep to similar values of precision. For example, "the Moon is 380,000 kilometres (240,000 mi) from Earth". Note that the converted unit of measure uses a standard abbreviation, while the source unit is spelled out in the text.
  • Per WP:MOSNUM, there should be a no-break space - &nbsp; between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 18mm, use 18 mm, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 18&nbsp;mm.
  • Per WP:MOSNUM, please spell out source units of measurements in text; for example, "the Moon is 380,000 kilometres (240,000 mi) from Earth.
  • There are several paragraphs that are too short, which sometimes disrupts the flow of the article. These should either be expanded or merged.
