The 2011 Atlantic hurricane season was one of the most active on record, with a total of 19 named storms. It also included the sixth costliest hurricane in United States history: Hurricane Irene. After working diligently on this article for several days, I feel that it now meets the criteria to become a Featured List. Any comments regarding how I can improve this article are appreciated.

Comment this list is unstable, as there have been numerous reverts within the last few days. With that said, nothing actionable can be done here, so TA, don't worry about this, it should fix itself, this is more to the FLC directors than anything. All the ADT stuff needs to be changed to AST, as the NHC does not sue ADT since all the places within the US are on AST year around. YE Pacific Hurricane 15:53, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Quick Comment - in some cases you've misspelled nbsp and said "nsbp" instead, so they show up on regular viewing. TheAustinMan(Talk|Works) 16:00, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Additional Comment - after a thorough read-thru this morning, I noted some additional things:

  • "Hurricane Irene weakens to a tropical storm and simultaneously makes its eight landfall on Brigantine Island, New Jersey, with winds of 70 mph (110 km/h)." - Eight → Eighth
  • "1200 UTC (8 a.m. AST) – Tropical Storm Maria" - Since you use [h]:[mm] on all other occasions, change 8 a.m. AST to 8:00 a.m AST.
  • Since Lee and Irene had their lowest pressure and highest winds separate from each other, you are forced to say that they "reached peak intensity" twice for each of them. If this was intentional then leave it alone, but if it was not maybe you can try saying something different for them, like "reached its minimum pressure at [xxx] mbar (hPa;..)". Correct me if I'm wrong.
Conditional support if these issues are tweaked. TheAustinMan(Talk|Works) 14:32, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it was typed that way on purpose. Fixed the other two comments. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 18:07, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
+Support - Now that my issues have been fixed, I can now support this article. Timeline of the 2011 Atlantic hurricane season describes in detail the events which occurred during the hurricane season, and has an excellent lead. By using the elements of past featured timelines, this article in my opinion meets the criteria in WP:FLCR. Nice work! TheAustinMan(Talk|Works) 20:10, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –
  • "Hurricane Irene was a powerful and unusually large storm that made several landfall along the East Coast of the United States...". "landfall" → "landfalls"?
  • Is a word missing in the middle of "moved ashore the coast of Louisiana..."?
  • Timeline of events: In the graph, Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale needs an en dash.
  • September 12: The red link here can be fixed by linking to Poza Rica, Veracruz.
  • Note 2: "scale" should be capitalized for consistency with the rest of the article. Actually, the mention of it with Hurricane Irene probably should be too.
  • A bunch of references could use PDF indicators. Giants2008 (Talk) 00:44, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • "It also marked the first occurrence in which " ->"It was also the first time that..."
    • done.
  • "Although Tropical Storm Arlene formed on June 28,..." not sure why this is "although..."? So there wasn't a storm for four weeks into the season. Is that rare?
    • No, but the storm developed after the first day of the season, hence the word "although".
  • "of which nineteen intensified into tropical storms, seven became hurricanes, and four became " That adds up to 30, again I know what you're saying, of the 19 storms, seven became hurricanes, of which four became major hurricanes. Perhaps a subtle reword.
    • done.
  • "terrain of Mexico. [8]" remove space before ref.
    • done.
  • "Veracruz, Mexico" is a dab page.
    • done.
  • "(1:00 p.m. CDT)– Tropical Storm Rina " space before the en-dash.
    • done.

  • "season was a well above average year in" I know what you mean but it reads odd to me that you're saying a season is a year.
    • Hmm...never gotten a comment about that. Any suggestions of what to reword it to?
  • Check all image captions, those which are complete sentences should not have periods.
    • Uhhh...they shouldn't?
      • Rephrase: those which are not complete sentences should not have periods! Sorry. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:41, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • With the user semi-inactive, I was bold and went ahead and fixed this myself. YE Pacific Hurricane 22:07, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • The timeline omits 118 km/h.
    • Category 1 hurricane intensity begins at 74 mph (119) km/h, and tropical storm intensity ends at 73 mph (117 km/h).
      • So what if the hurricane hits exactly 118 km/h? I believe you need to talk to your project friends about this... The Rambling Man (talk) 16:41, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • Per the 2002 AHS FLC, and with the nominator inactive, I was bold and went ahead fixed this (it start at 118, not 119 per the fLC). YE Pacific Hurricane 22:07, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment now the timeline graph is messed up and the page is becoming unstable again. Not going to strike my support though. YE Pacific Hurricane 05:23, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Scratch that, we're fine now.
  • Image review: No copyright related problems found. Goodraise 00:08, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment what is the status of this? The Rambling Man (talk) 09:20, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sorry, I have been busy lately and have not been able to take care of these minor problems. Thanks to YE for doing so for me. Any more concerns? TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 19:28, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support didn't find anything. :( Lol. Great work. TBrandley 22:36, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
