California hurricanes[edit]

The page this article refers to was located at California hurricanes at the time of this nomination. It was moved to list of California hurricanes at a later date. This notice is necessary to note the move. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 22:49, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I spent some time researching this rare event and created a list of all notable events. I sent it through Peer Review and have addressed the comments. I know that there are actually very few links in this list, but most East Pacific storms neither need nor deserve their own article. This article has pictures and has inline cites and references.

This is a self-nom. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 21:15, 12 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support ... might want to FLC an earthquake list or two as well  ALKIVAR 11:05, 15 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • SupportOppose Great article, Dates are not wikified and the sentance under the modern repeats section seems a little Point of viewish and seems a little out of place. --Cloveious 17:43, 15 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • I rewrote the section on preparedness, adding that warning breakpoints exist. I do not understand what your problem with the dates is. I fixed the format of one date to make it conform to the manual of style. Since this is not a List of dates when tropical cyclones hit California, I am not going to link dates. So please explain your date issue more fully.

      • When dates are wikified it allows dates to be displayed according to user preference. I will do that a bit later --Cloveious 21:25, 15 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Object 1) Please use the {{ref}} {{note}} style of inline referencing. The current style is incorrect 2) Metric units absent 3) Is ==Modern repeats== necessary? 4) A political map of California will certainly help. Let me know on my talk on this is done. =Nichalp «Talk»= 19:18, 17 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • I changed the references.
    • I added metric units for measurements. Do you want metric units for approximations as well?
    • The purpose of the Modern repeats section is to give readers an idea of what may happen should another landfall etc. happen.
    • Do you mean a political map? A location map? I will be able to post a map showing the location of breakpoints on Saturday, by the way. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline
Yeah, a map of the towns and states. I think the modern repeats should be removed. =Nichalp «Talk»= 09:25, 20 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I added a map of the breakpoints made using screenshots of the US national Atlas.
You are the only person to specifically object to the Modern Repeats section. While no one else has objected to it, no one has specifically approved of it either. I will wait and see if anyone else objects or approves of it. If the consensus is to remove, I'll get rid of it. I still think it has useful information, though. Do you have any suggestions on where to put it if the Modern Repeats section is removed? Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 20:02, 22 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
