Talk:Tropical Storm Kiko (2007)

Fatalities
I'm unsure of the fatalities since they're not included in the NHC's TCR but I'm not sure since I've found an article stating that officials recovered 15 bodies from a ship that sank during the storm. Please discuss it here before changing it on the main article Cyclonebiskit (talk) 05:08, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Copyeditor's thoughts
I see four things that I can't fix that need attention.
 * I'm a bit confused about the time of the ferry accident relative to the time of the storm's peak intensity. The lead implies that the ferry was sailing after a hurricane warning had been issued and after the storm had been forecast to come ashore. However, if I understand the main text correctly, this might not be true. Including the date of the accident in the main text and re-writing the lead to clarify this point would be good. Was the forecast changed to "not coming ashore" before the capsizing? Was the storm upgraded to hurricane status before or after the capsizing?
 * After clarifying the timeline, you might consider breaking the lead into two or three paragraphs at reasonable break points. They might be a bit too short that way, but it would be worth considering. The existing paragraph is a bit long and shifts abruptly from the capsizing to the storm's development.
 * The other hurricane articles I've worked on expressed distances in miles and kilometers. This one uses nautical miles and kilometers. Since most readers are more familiar with miles than nautical miles, I'd suggest using miles. If you want to include nautical miles as well, you could do that, perhaps in a note or perhaps in the main text.
 * What does "port of captaincy" mean? Maybe "port" would be better or, if not, the term needs to be explained. What, exactly, did it mean to close the port of captaincy? What ports or cities or regions did this apply to? Did this action have any bearing on the capsizing? Was the ferry operating despite the closing? Finetooth (talk) 18:48, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Just as a note, the capsizing ferry was carrying illegal immigrants, they had no clue what was coming from what I've read. Thanks for the input and the copyedit :D I'll see what I can do to fix those four things. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 19:15, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
