List of North Carolina hurricanes (2000–present)

 * Nominator(s): – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 02:32, 1 April 2010 (UTC), User:Hurricanehink

I am nominating this for featured list because, according to an FL director, the previous nomination failed due to a lack of comments. This list needs to be featured in order to save an existing featured topic for demotion (which was supposed to have happened a week ago). Cheers, – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 02:32, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
 * As primary writer, I'll gladly co-nom. I checked over it, and I fully agree that it should be a featured list. --♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 01:19, 4 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment - should the article be written in past tense? And no offense to the kid or his family, but is "Rip currents from Tropical Storm Danny result in the death of a 12 year-old boy" really important enough to include here? — Ed   (talk  •  majestic titan)  19:28, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
 * All similar articles use present-tense, and although there really hasn't been any major discussion on the issue, consistency is good. Also, if source-able, all storm-related deaths should be included. – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 00:35, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I was the original author, and the reason I had it in present tense (and not past) was because it was a chronology. For storms in a single year, the past is fixed, but in this case, it's not so much about a single fixed date, but rather all the different storms that affected the state. --♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 01:19, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
 * My thought is that the entire subject of the article is in the past, so it should use past tense. To reply to HH below, my concern is specific to this article and others. — Ed   (talk  •  majestic titan)  02:45, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Don't most timelines use present-tense? – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 13:16, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, List of Byzantine emperors doesn't... Either way, I feel like present tense sounds awkward at times. — Ed   (talk  •  majestic titan)  02:42, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Could you please point out a few examples? Maybe the wording can be improved. Check this, though. – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 11:54, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't really have examples, it just reads oddly (to me) in present tense. However, I'm probably insane and/or in the minority. :-) Consider this concern dropped. — Ed   (talk  •  majestic titan)  21:04, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) Can tables be made sortable?
 * I'll see if I can work on this. – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 20:17, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Done. – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 12:39, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Since Isabel was the strongest strom, I think the article would benefit from an image of it. For instance File:Hurricane_Isabel_18_sept_2003_1555Z.jpg or File:Hurricane_Isabel_NC_landfall_radar.jpg. The image should go to the leading section, with the current image moved to 2003-2004 section.
 * Well, the lead already has an image of damage from Isabel, which is more relevant than a satellite/radar shot I think. – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 20:17, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) As an extratropical cyclone Tropical Storm Barry This sounds like an oxymoron. This actually was an extratropical cyclone, which in the past was a storm. So a better choice of words is "Tropical Storm Barry, which by 7 May tuned into an extratropical cyclone, crosses".
 * Good point, fixed. – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 20:17, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) The same with The precursor cyclone to Subtropical Storm Andrea produces .... Any storm is a cyclone. Why not to say simply "The precursor to Subtropical Storm Andrea produces ..."?
 * Nice catch. – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 20:17, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
