Windspeed at landfall
Willa hit Sinaloa as a 120 mph storm, but shortly before striking the mainland of Mexico, Willa passed over Las Islas Marias from the Revillagigedo Islands as a 125 mph storm, so shouldn't Willa technically be at a tie with Tico, Olivia, Odile, and Lane in windspeed in the table?

VERY VERY late response but no, Since it didn’t make landfall in mainland Mexico. TheEasternEditer (talk) 23:00, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

GAN Prep
I just wanted to notify you that I will be using this for the GAN prep (mainly just the massive expansion of the preps, impact, and aftermath). I know you will be working on Floyd, but I am going to get sources gathered. Noah Talk 16:56, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks Noah! I saw that NCDC has a bit more for Texas. The harder part is gonna be getting good sources from Mexico, due to the language barrier, but that shouldn't be too tough. I also found some more sources from ReliefWeb. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 18:08, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Did you see how much I churned up in a single search (focused on Sinaloa)? I will conduct more searches for other states and preps once I get home from work tonight. I did remove duplicate links earlier. Noah Talk 18:10, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Also, is helping to locate some sources for the US in case there is more than just Texas. Noah Talk 18:13, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Yea, that's a good find so far. And as for US, there'll probably be a bit for Louisiana too. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 18:26, 31 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Did you go through my todo links from above? YE Pacific Hurricane 22:23, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I had some specific search terms I intended to use for finding Spanish sources. For the most part, I have found info on the color-coded weather alerts, but it may need some additional work. I'm thinking we could churn out quite a large article on this storm... It appears the gov't has neglected the victims as well. Could you please add any relevant storm event reports under a new section header when you get a chance? Noah Talk 01:57, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
 * When I get around to Willa, I'll just start adding the info, as opposed to adding links. I think it's easier that way, given how big of the article is gonna be, to just start compiling it. The article will be in a predictable structure: preps (evacuations, closures, warnings), impact (general Mexico section, sub-sections for Sinaloa and Nayarit, US), and aftermath (aid, rebuilding). ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 14:33, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

I will add information in as I get time. I will worry more about organization later. Noah Talk 19:13, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a good plan. I sometimes end up working on several articles at a time. You put in the work one edit at a time, and eventually, as you know, your edits could result in a featured article. Speaking of, I better go write on the talk page of another 2018 storm, so you don't have to ask for a review again :P ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 20:21, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Hey, was just wondering about the information you found for the US. I am going to start adding in information again (to the GAN prep page) as my classes settle down in the next couple of weeks. Noah Talk 04:17, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I added a bit from NCDC. There's nothing from Louisiana, and the Texas bit is pretty limited. Nothing mentioned Willa specifically, but given that the TCR talked about heavy rainfall on 10/24, and the NCDC had events on 10/24 in Galveston, I felt it was fine to add those flooding details. I also added a bit that I found, linking Willa's remnants to a developing nor'easter. I know it's not much, but I don't have a lot of time to edit these days. :/ Damn RL ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 20:53, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I will attempt to add more to the GAN prep page some weekend in the future. Once I burn through everything, I will have to have someoneelse integrate the content and merge the history. Noah Talk 12:16, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

Why wasn't Willa retired?
I was reading the reasons why the currently retired Pacific Hurricanes were retired. Seeing that Willa did a few hundred thousand dollars away from 1 billion in damage, I ask out of curiosity, why didn't the name get retired along with the other Category 5 hurricanes of the season (in my opinion, they all had high probabilities for retirement because of their impact)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.214.58.75 (talk) 16:41, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Honestly, that question can only be answered by the Mexican Government and the hurricane committee since they are the ones that would have requested/voted on it. It honestly should have been given the severity of the impact. Noah Talk 16:42, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

source issues
A just found couple of sources looks ... not right:


 * Same urls with different title & author, I guess seond one should be "...008.shtml?", also date should be 21st?
 * Same urls with different title & author, I guess seond one should be "...008.shtml?", also date should be 21st?
 * Same urls with different title & author, I guess seond one should be "...008.shtml?", also date should be 21st?

Also


 * Same urls, same title & date but different author, cite for different sentence, I guess the second one is wrong, but I have also check ...010/011/012/013/014/015/016.shtml, none of them have the right author.--Jarodalien (talk) 16:32, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
 * 10, 11 and 16 were right
 * 12, 13, and 15 were not even used
 * Fixed 14
 * Fixed the above issue with the link...
 * I am really unsure how all those errors made it through the FAC. Noah Talk 17:03, 22 September 2020 (UTC)


 * User:Hurricane Noah: "...The cost to repair public infrasturcture in Nayarit was evaluated at approximately MX$2.2 billion (US$92,000)"
 * This can't be right, 92 million right?--Jarodalien (talk) 06:33, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes. Noah Talk 10:13, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

TFA
User:Hurricane Noah, KN2731, Hurricanehink, and anyone watching: does anyone have an objection to running this at TFA for the 5th anniversary in October? - Dank (push to talk) 03:32, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
