Talk:Hurricane Isaac (2000)

Merge?
I strongly believe this should be merged. It is a more-or-less copy of the TCR, and has next to nothing outside of the SH. There's about a dozen SPAG (spelling and grammar) errors, and there's really little need for such an article. --Hurricanehink ( talk ) 02:23, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Indeed, it must differ pretty significantly from the TCR. Try to spell out numbers ("Hurricane Isaac was the 13 tropical cyclone, and 5th hurricane of the 2000 Atlantic hurricane season" should be "Hurricane Isaac was the thirteenth tropical storm, and fifth hurricane of the 2000 Atlantic hurricane season"). Wikilinking is a little sparse, and the damage figure is "$0,000" ;) Since it didn't affect land or cause major fatalities or damage ($0,000 :)), it isn't inherently notable enough for its own article. Good try though! -- RattleMan 03:36, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Todo
Now that the article has been recreated (which I assessed as low importance, since it did little of importance), it needs some general cleanup. A different infobox pic would be good, as the current one has a lot of white space. --♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 03:47, 7 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I fished one out of the GOES Hot Stuff site where I got Daniel from this year. While it's not peak intensity or color (and personally, I miss that awesome "ghost boomerang" next to Isaac in the old picture), it fixes the spacing problem. I don't doubt better can be found, but I'm using this for now. (And unfortunately, the file name I uploaded it by has the wrong date. It's been a long day.) (EDIT: Upon consideration, I cropped Joyce from the picture as well, because, in my opinion, it's about 20 times better than the old one. I have it on the seasonal page.)

 * Sounds good, nice. --♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 15:34, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
