To Work On list (specifics)

 * 2b: Reference 8 is unreliable.
 * Not sure what happened to that ref but it would seem that the part of it that was important to the article got removed and is now pay-per view. I did however cite the NWS history page, which has basically the same info. - Marcusmax  ( speak ) 21:49, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
 * ✅ Ok, we can leave it for now as we are sourcing the article, not the site there. -- &#47; MWOAP &#124; Notify Me &#92; 01:09, 23 April 2010 (UTC)


 * 2b: ISBN's for those books?
 * The books in question pre-date the ISBN system which became prevalent in the 1970s. However the books that are more recent all have assigned ISBNs, listed with the ref. - Marcusmax  ( speak ) 19:22, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
 * ✅ Understandable, if it is found, it would be nice to have them. -- &#47; MWOAP &#124; Notify Me &#92; 01:09, 23 April 2010 (UTC)


 * 3b: Opertaions is really short, and does not have that much detail. Room to expand.
 * I've expanded, added detail on the general operations of forecasters, and other employees. - Marcusmax  ( speak ) 01:33, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
 * ✅ -- &#47; MWOAP &#124; Notify Me &#92; 01:09, 23 April 2010 (UTC)


 * 3a: is it possible to say any major events that the service has covered?
 * Yes it is possible, however due to the history of NWS Lincoln and its predecessors there are almost too many incidents to cover without it turning out like WP:NOTDIRECTORY and is probably more akin to a article on the climatology of Central Illinois (which I would like to create). But if you can shoot me an idea about how to include it I will be more then happy to add the information. - Marcusmax  ( speak ) 01:40, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I am thinking more just some of the major ones (with a breif overview), and then when you create the article, you can put the main article template up. Is this possible? -- &#47; MWOAP &#124; Notify Me &#92; 01:09, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Of course! I will get on it right now. - Marcusmax  ( speak ) 22:43, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I have created a new section with the information you have requested, listing storms that NWS Lincoln or its predecessors have a documented role in forecasting or other duties. I hope you find it acceptable. thanks - Marcusmax  ( speak ) 15:24, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
 * ✅ This is short enough for the artice, but not too short. I like it :) -- &#47; MWOAP &#124; Notify Me &#92; 02:55, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Please do not change the status of the criterion, the reviewer will change that their selfs.
 * Thank you for the review, I will address the issues you have cited over the next day. Thanks - Marcusmax  ( speak ) 19:09, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
 * At least one of the floods of 1956-1957 which struck Illinois could be relevant here. See the external link section of Hurricane Audrey for more on those, and other, flood events which impacted Illinois.  Thegreatdr (talk) 00:09, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes it would seem many tropical cyclones (after transitioning into extra-tropical systems) have caused flooding events, Hurricane Ike comes to mind. - Marcusmax  ( speak ) 02:05, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure the word many should be used in relation to flooding in Illinois from tropical cyclones. Thegreatdr (talk) 05:04, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
