Talk:Hurricane Humberto (2007)

Tropical Cyclone Discussion Statement
I though this was strongly worded and worth mentioning in the article: "BASED ON OPERATIONAL ESTIMATES...HUMBERTO STRENGTHENED FROM A 30 KT DEPRESSION AT 15Z YESTERDAY TO A 75 KT HURRICANE AT 09Z THIS MORNING...AN INCREASE OF 45 KT IN 18 HOURS. TO PUT THIS DEVELOPMENT IN PERSPECTIVE...NO TROPICAL CYCLONE IN THE HISTORICAL RECORD HAS EVER REACHED THIS INTENSITY AT A FASTER RATE NEAR LANDFALL.  IT WOULD BE NICE TO KNOW...SOMEDAY...WHY THIS HAPPENED."

That is from the Tropical Storm Humberto Discussion Statement #6 Tfelts 14:56, 13 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Only three other Atlantic storms, NHC said in another discussion, strengthened from depression to hurricane in 18 hours. I have found those three in an Associated Press report: Blanche in '69, Harvey in '81 and Alberto in '82. Alberto looked suspicious to me when I looked at the best track. Looked like 24 hours, but best track has some lag time. -- § Hurricane E  RIC  archive 04:12, 16 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I don't really trust that AP link. According to the best track, Abby from 1960 went straight from a TD to a hurricane, and Alberto in 1982 did indeed take 24 hours. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 04:45, 16 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Harvey is also wrong. It, too, took 24 hours from what I'm seeing. Blanche, however, seems correct. Jake52 My island 21:53, 16 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Trust me the hurricane took less than 24 hours. You may wonder what makes me know. I woke up to it. At 6 o clock at night I watched the local news and it specifically said that it was a tropical depression. Then it just strengthened and gave us a slap in the face. Trust me sir it was much less than 24 hours.Bccards 21:12, 19 February 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bccards13 (talk • contribs)

Humberto Rainfall Graphic added
Just so you all know, I'm coordinating with NHC on the inland track of Humberto. The position stated in our last HPC advisory was a different area of low pressure. Once I get their e-mail, I'll make the appropriate change to the track to keep it in line with what they will soon publish on the web. Thegreatdr 15:08, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Good Article Assessment
Here is the current revision of the page. Below is my assessment..
 * GA review (see here for criteria)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS):
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): (good coverage of sources, but may need more in lead, apart from that, they were excellent placed) b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * a (fair representation): b (all significant views):
 * 1) It is stable.
 * (no edits wars etc.)
 * 1) It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.
 * a (tagged and captioned): b lack of images (does not in itself exclude GA):  c (non-free images have fair use rationales):
 * 1) Overall:
 * a Pass/Fail:

Here is a greater analysis of my findings:
 * I can find no original research, however the lead contains no references, but as there are no major citings, I am willing to view it as a minor. ✅
 * All images were appropriately tagged. ✅
 * There was a use of images, which helped improve the readability which was already good✅
 * Only a few grammar mistakes, with commas and tagging etc., but most has been sorted by me. ✅
 * All references used were independent and reliable. ✅
 * There was a correct use of cited sources, which were placed in the appropriate place (after the punctuation)✅
 * The prose was very good, and certainly appropriate. ✅

I am therefore willing to pass this article. Well done to all involved. Regards, &mdash; Rudget Contributions 12:38, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I delisted this RFA because of the cites and the grammar.  m ir a nd a   00:42, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
 * What does "cites" and "the grammar" mean? I'm sorry, but you'll have to say a bit more than that to justify delisting an article. Gimmetrow 07:44, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Some citations were not formatted according to WP:CITE and there were punctuation errors. However, this has been addressed, and I have re-promoted this article.  m ir a nd a   08:29, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
