Talk:Hurricane Joyce (2000)

Todo
A good start, with some really good content. I put the article at C for now, as it's in need of a copyedit. There are a few very abrupt sentences which need to be merged, as well as some awkwardly-worded phrases. A few MoS breaches, as well. In the Impact section, "AM" and "ADT" are usually not capitalized. Also, fix the British spelling! :) –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  20:54, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I changed "favoured" to "favored" and decapitalized AM to am. As ADT does not appear in the article, I assume you meant EDT. Are you sure that shouldn't be capitalized? I thought that timezones should be treated just like UTC, which is capitalized. Also, please give indications of which sentences are abrupt or awkward. Thanks.

 * Oh, yeah, I meant "EDT". I'll have a list of general todo here shortly. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  22:40, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Some stuff:


 * It then degenerated into an open wave. Stubby sentence, needs to be merged.
 * It would be nice if the lede was longer.
 * It would never change from that general path. Another short sentence.
 * Convection and organization slowly deteriorated,[1] and became, early on September 29, "pretty crummy" and without a well-defined center of circulation, although Joyce managed to remain at hurricane intensity through this time. Not sure the "crummy" bit is necessary.
 * Some more SH overall could probably be written.
 * Trackwise, Joyce was well forecast, with errors ten to twenty percent smaller than the ten-year average. "Trackwise" is spelled with a hyphen.
 * While weakening, Tropical Depression Joyce passed close to Tobago, causing sustained winds of 30 miles per hour (48 km/h). The highest winds any land area reported in association with Hurricane Joyce were reported from Barbados, with sustained winds of 35 miles per hour (56 km/h), with gusts to 45 miles per hour (72 km/h). "Any land reported" could be worded a little better. Also, fix the rounding. For example, 45 mph should convert to 70 km/h, etc.
 * Fix up those and it should be good to get to B. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  22:52, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

 * I added a another part to that sentence.
 * The lead is now two paragraphs.
 * What's stubby about a short sentence? It says all it needs to say. There are some great little things (like jewels), and this sentence is one of them.
 * I rewrote the sentence, although the "pretty crummy" is a quotation from the NHC, and hence I kept it.
 * The meteorological history is a bit longer.
 * Hyphenated.
 * I added |-1| to the windspeeds in the Impact etc. section and rewrote and split the sentence in question.
 * Looks better, up to B. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  00:31, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Requested move May 17, 2018
This is the only Atlantic tropical cyclone named Joyce that became a hurricane. Although, I would suggets perhaps if we decide to move this that we might want to wait to see if Joyce forms this year and becomes a hurricane. Cooper 17:43, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Okay this is a no brainier. This is the only edition of Joyce so as of right now Joyce in 2018 is moot point. to be be bold and rop the year without an RM. YE Pacific  Hurricane  17:58, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Not true. There was a hurricane Joyce in 1974 in the EPAC, so I oppose this moving. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 12:29, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
 * The East Pacific Joyce is a storm that more than likely nobody knows about. This is a much more recent storm and had a greater impact. Cooper 20:30, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
 * This storm had no reported fatalities and minimal damage. I don't think it should be moved. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 20:11, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * No one knows about this storm either :P YE Pacific Hurricane  20:37, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
