Talk:Hurricane Dean (1989)

Todo
It's a high start, but there's still a little to be done for B class. First, the whole thing needs another look through. In a lot of places, the wording doesn't make sense. The unit of knots should not be used; the Imperial and Metric equivalents should be. The storm history jumps a bit. Write it as if you're drawing a line. For example.
 * Dean's forward speed increased to 15 kts as the trough to the west of the storm deepened. The eastern half of the eyewall brushed Bermuda as Dean reached a category 2 status.

That could probably be smoother. The sentence after that is a fragment. Throughout the storm history, dates and locations would be good. The first paragraph of the preparations should be trimmed a bit, or split into two paragraphs. The impact should be in a clear order; one paragraph for Carib, one for Bermuda, and maybe one for North America (lumping US and Canada). Be sure add the rest of the categories and the button bar. All in all, not a bad start. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 14:50, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I changed the storms foward speed into Imparial and metric eq and fixed the fragement in the storm history. Storm05 14:56, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * And i split the first half of the preparations into two paragraphs and the US/Canadian impacts are already lumped togeather. Storm05 14:58, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

I'd still like to see some more dates and location markings. For example, when did it make its closest approach to the Lesser Antilles, and how close was it? Also, Bermuda should be its own paragraph in the storm history. Are you sure there's no more effects in the Lesser Antilles? No rough surf? No erosion? How much rain did it cause? I just fixed a few small things, but the article needs another look-through. Please use a spell checker. Phrases like "Puetro Rico" should be in the article. It's getting there, but not quite B class. Could you also finish adding metric units to the article? Hurricanehink ( talk ) 18:39, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * The tcr and the newspaper archive doesnt mention any more effects in the Lesser Antilles or mentions when it made its closest approach to the Lesser antillies. Storm05 14:38, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * There's other sources than the tcr and the newspaper. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 20:19, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but most of the other sources have info that is already in the article. Storm05 13:18, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Try Reliefweb, they have some Caribbean info on Dean, and enough to justify its own section. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 15:38, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
