Talk:Meteorological history of Hurricane Sandy

Cleanup
Ok, let's get this straight. Meteorological History pages are made to give a synopsis of the meteorological history of a storm, and these articles should include content about the formation, impacts, landfalls, and dissipation of tropical cyclones; going step by step through the lifecycle of the storm. This format is used in the vast majority of meteorological history pages to ensure the quality and professional feel of the articles, for example, the featured article Meteorological history of Hurricane Katrina. Now I realize that there was a big debate on whether Global Warming should be discussed in the Sandy article, and I realize that it was decided by a consensus in the article's talk page that global warming should be included in the Meteorological History section of Hurricane Sandy. However, since this is a page devoted to the meteorological history, the sections and subsections relating to predictions, records, and climate speculations should be moved to either the main Hurricane Sandy article, or to another article or article(s). This is not a personal or ideological preference, this is a recommendation that this page should conform to the widely accepted format found in the many other Meteorological History articles, and to make the best effort possible to keep this article as clean and professionally written as possible.

 * I disagree. Records have been in at least one other article (Meteorological history of Hurricane Ivan.  Reanalysis and statistics was in another (Meteorological history of Hurricane Andrew), which implies that meteorological predictions isn't that out of the ordinary to include, if reanalysis was included.  Global warming should be in here because it's part of the meteorology behind it.  The reason that isn't in any other article is there aren't many reliable sources discussing global warming's ties with other cyclones. Inks.LWC (talk) 02:25, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
 * The section on global warming doesn't give a chronological description of the events that unfolded pertaining to the formation, life, and dissipation of the storm; and it doesn't really have any mention of what unfolded during the storm; thus it defeats the purpose of this being a Meteorological History article. Global warming relation and statistics should go into an article or section of the main Sandy article that deals with storm statistics and analysis. I realize that you want to make the connection between the meteorological aspects of Sandy and global warming, but bear in mind it is a theory that is highly disputed and risks harming the neutrality of the article.

 * Who ever said this was a chronological timeline of the events that unfolded? MH articles don't have to be all in chronological order.  You just keep repeating your conclusion; explain why they don't belong... why do GW and stats belong in the main article, when they deal with the meteorological history of the storm?  As for the neutrality of the article, the use of reliable sources erases the possibility of NPOV, and I think we've done a good job of presenting all sides of the argument.

Post-Tropical Cyclone SANDY
Something seriously missing from this article is the fine distinction between the hurricane that started in the tropics and the post-tropical cyclone that hit NYC. The article describes correctly when this transition occurred but continues to call the storm a hurricane after that. This distinction needs to be made. This also means that in many places where Sandy is referred to as a hurricane that it should be referred to by the more generic term 'storm'. Tyrerj (talk) 20:30, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I dont see where we call it a hurricane, after we note it was post tropical bar noting that it had weakened "below hurricane force by the time it reached Pennsylvania" - which i think is more off a reference to the Beaufort Scale rather than to the SSHS.Jason Rees (talk) 21:22, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
