List of off-season Atlantic hurricanes[edit]

Nominator(s): Viennaiswaiting (talk) 22:35, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I spent a lot of time on it, and it's the main article in a topic I'm writing. It's about the freak tropical cyclones that don't form during the normal season. Short, sweet, and too the point. Viennaiswaiting (talk) 22:35, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

oh, one little comment, i have no opinion one way or another on the title, whether it should be "off-season Atlantic hurricanes" or "off-season Atlantic tropical cyclones". --Viennaiswaiting (talk) 22:36, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've taken care of some of these issues, but there's still a lot to do, and seeing as this has been up for 3 weeks now, I would like to withdraw it, rather than continue. --Viennaiswaiting (talk) 01:27, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from ManfromButtonwillow (talk) 09:35, 15 March 2010 (UTC):[reply]

Images are verifiably in the public domain (although the source page for the Hurricane Alice image was dead, here is the proper link [4], in case anyone cares), no ambiguous links. Good luck!

OK, I fixed the image for Alice, switched the damage/deaths for Olga, replaced the olga links w/ one single link thats more official, and added alt texts. i didn't change the wording about the "most recently", since the entire article will have to be updated when there's another off-season storm. Thanks a lot for your review! Viennaiswaiting (talk) 15:35, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, yeah, I suppose that's true. Ok. I'm striking my previous comments, and supporting on all but one count (the article is stable; the prose seems to be high quality; the lead is short, but it is a short article; no structural issues that I can see; and style appears to be in line with requirements) The only exception would be criterion (3). Not that it isn't comprehensive, I just don't feel qualified to judge it one way or the other (sorry). Nice, brief article. Best wishes! ManfromButtonwillow (talk) 12:08, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
sweet, thanks! Viennaiswaiting (talk) 15:01, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support - as this list covers all known off season AHS cyclones. This being merged into an global list wouldnt work IMO as there are no preseason Cyclones in the Western Pacific/Northern Indian Ocean.Jason Rees (talk) 21:59, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: This list is inconsistent in its treatment of off-season tropical depressions. In the parts of the list covering recent times, it has no problem linking to tropical depressions. However, for parts of the list covering earlier times, it doesn't bother linking to them (not even section links). To a much lesser extent, this also applies to tropical storms. Perhaps it ought to be consistent in how it treats OSTC's across different timeframes. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 23:20, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I went back through and made sure there was proper links for every tropical storm, subtropical storm, or tropical depression that had a section in a season article. Some didn't have a section in the season article, so I left those unlinked. Originally, I only linked those with articles, but this works too. --Viennaiswaiting (talk) 01:07, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I guess I can support now then. Many older seasons usually don't have much to say about tropical depressions, and probably don't need their own section as it probably isn't worth it to have a section that maxes out at one sentence. However, a full of discussion of what to do about this doesn't belong at this FLC page. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 02:11, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the comments. I see I have a lot to do, a lot of small errors, so I'm going to withdraw it and work on it some more. --Viennaiswaiting (talk) 01:27, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
