List of Texas hurricanes (1980–present)

 * Nominator(s): TheAustinMan (Talk·Works) 03:22, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel that this article meets all the FLC criteria, and is engaging and comprehensively details all Texas hurricanes 1980-present in an effective and encyclopedic manner. This list mixes in the elements of all other similar types that WikiProject Tropical Cyclones has produced to create a unique, special, and FL-worthy article.

 * Comment - still unit inconsistency. Make sure every unit is abbreviated like the unit in parenthesis. For example - 2 ft (6 m), 2 in (50 mm), 2 mi (3 km). --♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 03:23, 23 July 2012 (UTC)


 * done - Ah! I hadn't caught the 0}} and the 1}} earlier! Made it all tidied up. All units should be abbreviated. -- TheAustinMan (Talk·Works) 03:34, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * "200 mi path (320 km)" - fix, and make sure all of the storms are in chronological order. I noticed an error. --♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 03:36, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * What's the problem with the 200 mi path again? And fixed the chronological issue. TheAustinMan (Talk·Works) 04:03, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * It should be "200 mi (320 km) path". --♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 04:03, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Fixed. TheAustinMan (Talk·Works) 04:22, 23 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment non-breaking spaces are missing for stuff like "$250 million" and "12 tornadoes". YE  Pacific   Hurricane  14:49, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * done - Fixed the examples, as well as other places. TheAustinMan (Talk·Works) 15:30, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Categories need non-breaking spaces as well. YE  Pacific   Hurricane  15:41, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * done - Completed. TheAustinMan (Talk·Works) 15:57, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * More info on Tico, and Hermine. I'd remove the second sentence about Don as it is not that important. There appears to be some missing systems on mostly EPAC storms. The storms are Polo 84, Rachel 90, Rosa 94, Juliette 95, Danny 97, Madeline 98 though all but two of these systme never did that much. Also, why is there a need for clear after the 1990-94 section? And, David Roth works for the HPC, not the NWS. YE  Pacific   Hurricane  16:33, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Added info on Tico and Hermine, as well as added the two storms (Madeline, Rosa) that you mentioned. Will add the rest of those storms tomorrow, if they affected Texas. Also, the second sentence on Don seems important. -- TheAustinMan (Talk·Works) 03:11, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * done - Added only Rachel of 1990, as there was no other sources that I could find for the other ones. Also fixed Don, as you asked. TheAustinMan (Talk·Works) 21:17, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Wikilink stuff in the refs on their first usage. YE  Pacific   Hurricane  03:41, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
 * done - Finished... I think. TheAustinMan (Talk·Works) 19:57, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Support now. YE  Pacific   Hurricane  19:58, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

For full disclosure, I did fix the last issue since I was apparently the only one who saw it. Normally I wouldn't work on a candidate like this, but this is a special case and I didn't want this to hold up the process. Giants2008 ( Talk ) 20:49, 17 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment You should be consistent with your date formats in your refs "24 July 2012" or "July 24, 2012", you also shorten July in Ref 132. Afro  ( Talk ) 10:40, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
 * done - completed.  TheAustinMan (Talk·Works) 20:11, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Support I have no issues with the article. Afro  ( Talk ) 04:59, 15 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Support I did some copy editing for the article, but I think it passes all the other FL criteria at this time. —Torchiest talkedits 19:34, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Comment
 * In the Deadly storms section, the total deaths table does not meet MOS:DTT, you need to add col and rowscopes. Also not evident what is referencing the table. I notice ref 1 has a list of deaths from hurricanes, would out the ref next to the caption so its evident what the ref for the table is. NapHit (talk) 15:44, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * The col and row scopes point is valid, but each death total is already individually referenced in the prose sections. I suppose a new column could be added to list the refs for each storm, since it's not the same ref for all of them. —Torchiest talkedits 15:55, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * done - Added the col and rowscopes, and subsequently added a references column in case.  TheAustinMan (Talk·Works) 21:43, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
