More impact and use more than one source. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 18:27, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Dates should not be experessed in "19th". rather use  19, needs general cleanup of grammar and spelling, and needs a PAGASA name. NSLE 01:08, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I think, it needs either expansion, or re-merging into the season article. Damn, I need to stop editing, I'm on wikibreak. NSLE 02:05, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * LOL, nice break ;) I think the thing should just be merged back. There's not terribly much in the article. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 02:07, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * One; there's more info than in the seasonal article. Two; it's a start class, not a stub, so why should it be merged. Three; it's better than some other WPAC articles, and they havn't been merged. And four; there's still more info to be put in the article, I just haven't had the time and patience to write it. íslenska hurikein #12(samtal) 11:46, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll bite. 1) Most articles typically have more overall info than the seasonal info. However, there's not always a lot of useful info in the article. The entire impact section could be easily placed in the seasonal article without much changing. 2) Yea, it's a start class. Stubs are for the worst of the worst, and while this isn't the absolute worst, it's still pretty bad. Some parts of the article don't make much sense. 3) The reason it is being considered for merge isn't for the quality. It's because the other WPAC articles that aren't that good at least are written well or were important storms. 4) If there's more info out there, then you should have added it in before publishing it. The article creator needs to prove to us that the article is worthy of being kept, and it needs to be ready when it goes live. I'm not convinced. Unless you add more to the impact section, this should be merged. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 12:16, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

How's the intro I wrote? I've got all three sections. I also added more to the storm history. íslenska hurikein #12(samtal) 20:29, 14 June 2006 (UTC)


 * The intro is not a problem. The problem is the lack of impact. You should use more than one source when writing an article (unisys doesn't really count, as it's just the map). Hurricanehink ( talk ) 22:54, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Well, here's a different source that mentions some damage by Patsy. But I think it's first hand accounts. Is that allowed? íslenska hurikein #12(samtal) 20:18, 15 June 2006 (UTC)


 * That's fine. You should still mention that it is unofficial. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 21:01, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Now that this is a DYK, this should be allowed to remain its own article. I'll add the other impact info this afternoon; I have to go to the last day of school! :) íslenska hurikein #12(samtal) 11:44, 16 June 2006 (UTC)


 * The only reason I proposed a merge was so someone (namely you) would add more to it. That sucks you have to go to the last day of school. I'm done as well today, but since I'm graduating (woohoo! no more high school), I didn't have to go. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 15:05, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * School's over. YAY! Now I'll try to really kick into gear. íslenska hurikein #12(samtal) 17:14, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

There; I added a good amount of info about the sinking of the LCU-1563. I'm sure there's a little more info that I didn't include, but I got most of it. Is it a definite keeper now? íslenska hurikein #12(samtal) 17:48, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * That's good. It's not B class, but it's keepable. Now you need to improve wording, add inline sources, and metrification. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 18:58, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Now for rewording. íslenska hurikein | #12 (samtal) 14:30, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

This article was selected for DYK!
