Timeline of the 1990–91 South Pacific cyclone season

 * Nominator(s):  Yue ' of the ' North   00:04, 1 August 2010 (UTC) and Jason Rees

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel that it meets FLC standards. This article is written to address comments left at the featured list review for Timeline of the 2003-04 South Pacific cyclone season.  Yue ' of the ' North  00:04, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Support. Looking good; all minor problems addressed. Ucucha 18:21, 2 August 2010 (UTC) Comment—no dab links, no dead external links. Some more things:
 * Both warning centers designated tropical cyclones with a number and a P suffix with numbers assigned in order to tropical cyclones developing within the whole of the Southern Hemisphere.
 * I changed it to make it clearer which warning centers designated storms with a "P".
 * I'm sorry I didn't write a proper comment on the sentence; my problem was actually that there's a verb missing ("in order to tropical cyclones").
 * ''Changed to say the assigned in numerical order. --  Yue ' of the ' North   15:49, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the clarification; I hadn't realized it should be read that way. Ucucha 15:52, 1 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Why is what looks like the alt text for the track map of Joy in a ref?
 * Changed and moved all information about tracks into alt text


 * In the timeline, why are those exclamation marks and other pieces of punctuation there before the storm names? Also, some of the colors hardly stand out from the background.
 * The punctuation marks came up in a previous FLC (Timeline of the 2007-08 South Pacific cyclone season ) as to distinguish storms for people who are color-blind or cannot see the difference between colors easily.
 * Could you tell me which color(s) are hard to see on the screen as on my computer, it shows up fine
 * Thanks for the explanation. Might it be better to use superscript numbers for that (e.g., 1 for cat. 1, and perhaps 0 for tropical depression)? That would make for a more intuitive scheme. The poorly visible colours are for categories 2 and 3, but I was probably just looking at my screen at a weird angle—it's fine now that I'm looking at it another way. It might also be a good idea to use two colors for tropical depression and cat. 1 that differ a little more—they're hardly distinguishable now. Ucucha 15:14, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Interesting idea with the Superscript numbers, Ive changed the tropical depression colour to the one used for Tropical disturbances in later timelines.Jason Rees (talk) 15:44, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Super-script does not work in timelines so I added in numbers in paranthesis.
 * Thanks. The colors for TD and 1 are still nearly the same. The parentheses are a good fix; the only problem is that the right parenthesis for 4 is cut off. Ucucha 15:52, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Ive extended the width out to accommodate the bracket for C4- as for the colours being nearly the same - they look completely different to me as ones a dark blue and ones an aqua. Other than changing the colour between the one used for Depression and Disturbance which i have done we would need a consensus from the wikiproject to change the colours as their the same colours used throughout the project.Jason Rees (talk) 16:15, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Fair enough; changed to support. Ucucha 18:21, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Comment Support— The track maps are very dark and difficult to read. Even the larger images in Wiki Commons are extremely dark. Can you possibly provide images with more contrast between the tracks and the background? Also, it is not clear on first glance what land mass is being shown. Although this is not a fatal flaw for the list, it is distracting. --Dan Dassow (talk) 08:29, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * In the track maps for the individual storms, I removed the extratropical points which will make it clearer. I unfortunately cannot do anything about the darkness of the image as it is the image used in the track map generator; any change to the image will require the uninstallation and reinstallation of the program. --  Yue ' of the ' North   16:14, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * The track images are now much easier to read. This was my only problem with the list. I've change "Comment" to "Support". --Dan Dassow (talk) 18:47, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

 * "whilst the NWOC issued unofficial warnings...". "whilst" → "while".
 * "Both the JTWC and NMOC designated...". Hyphen needed after NMOC.
 * One note on this: the hyphen should be unspaced. I'll do this to save time, but please remember for next time.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 01:09, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Reference 2 should have an indication that the link is in PDF format. There's a format= parameter in the cite templates that handles this nicely.
 * All sorted.Jason Rees (talk) 23:34, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
