Hurricane Irene (1999)[edit]

Notified: Hurricanehink, 12george1, Titoxd, Feminist, Juliancolton, WP Tropical cyclones, WP Weather, WP USA, noticed 2022-04-30

Review section[edit]

This 2006 promotion has some sourcing issues - on talk back in April I listed several academic sources brought up by quick searching, and Hurricane Noah has also suggested that this is lacking in academic coverage. Additionally, a few of the sources are questionable as to if they are solid enough for modern FA sourcing (see talk for details). Hog Farm _Talk 02:15, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Since its nomination, @12george1: has added information to the article. Are you interested in fixing this up and writing information from the academic coverage? Z1720 (talk) 01:54, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

IF someone picks this up, please ping me for a WP:CCI check. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:08, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I keep wanting to reply here, but I noticed this has already been opened for almost three weeks. Anyway, yes, I intend to work on this article. Of the four sources suggested in the talk page, I have added the report from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and just moments ago added the Evans and Prater-Mayes journal. The Lawrence, et al. journal (Atlantic Hurricane Season of 1999) doesn't appear to have information worth adding to the article. This is because it is nearly identical to Preliminary Report: Hurricane Irene. In fact, much of it appears to be word-for-word with the Lawrence, et al. journal (presumably because one of its author also wrote the preliminary report - Lixion A. Avila). For the last remaining source suggested, I can't get passed the paywall for Agusti-panareda, Thorncroft, Craig, and Gray research article. I also added a conference paper for the American Meteorological Society (my edit summary mistakenly says "WMO")--12george1 (talk) 19:20, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks 12george1! I can dig around some more for additional sources, but I don't know where good places to look for hurricane sources are. Yellow Evan did good work with 2003 Pacific hurricane season - maybe they'd be able to look for a bit of sourcing here too? I'm still concerned about a few of the web sources as noted on talk.

Will do CCI as soon as I have time, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:59, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

CCI clear, see Wikipedia talk:Featured article review/Hurricane Irene (1999)/archive1. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:44, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well, fiddlesticks, I had already done a CCI on article talk long ago :\ SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:49, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@12george1: - are you ready for me to take another look at this article? Between work and a broken computer I've been sadly unable to get back to this, but things are finally calming down for me. Hog Farm _Talk 00:18, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nvm, I was just informed that it could take up to a week to get the computer issues resolved, and I won't have access to the computer at all until this batch of work is done :( Hog Farm _Talk 01:21, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Should be available again if this is ready, 12george1 Hog Farm _Talk 03:25, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Move to FARC to keep the process on track; FARC does not preclude further improvements or that the star still migth be saved. No response to Hog Farm's ping to 12george1 and no recent edits, and we are two months in. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 12:59, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

FARC section[edit]

Issues raised in the review section include sourcing and comprehensiveness. Nikkimaria (talk) 03:03, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delist, main issues unaddressed. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:36, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delist no major edits since Sandy's July 17 edits, and academic coverage listed on the talk page should be evaluated and integrated into the article, as necessary. Z1720 (talk) 00:15, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delist - while some of the identified academic coverage has been worked, it's been about a month and a half since the last substantive edits were made and the three apparently weak web source I noted on talk have neither been removed nor defended. Hog Farm _Talk 14:25, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Closing note: This removal candidate has been delisted, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please leave the ((featured article review)) template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through. Nikkimaria (talk) 02:39, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
