ACE of 1887 vs. 1998
I recently created a table for the ACE totals on the 1998 season page and discovered the totals were extremely close to those in 1887. So I consulted with the Talk:Accumulated cyclone energy/Atlantic by year page and added up all of the numbers of ACE for both 1887 and 1998. With all of the numbers added up, 1887 had a total of about 181.565 (rounded to 182) and 1998 was at 181.77; which means that the 1887 Atlantic hurricane season is incorrectly listed as 10th highest on this template, but it should actually be 1998. I will await other comments so a decision can be made regarding this possible error.--12george1 (talk) 04:52, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
 * 12George1, because it is extremely likely there were many undiscovered storms in the 1800's, 1887 probrably was 10th place. However, assuming there were other named storms without refrences to prove it is WP:OR. In that such case, unless there is new technology to help us in the future, 1998 probrably should be put down as 10th, I agree. Anyone else? Rye998 (talk) 21:50, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
