Timeline of the 1993 Pacific hurricane season

 * Nominator(s): Dylan 620  (he/him • talk • edits) 18:26, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

I waffled a bit on whether now was the right time to submit this – I currently have another timeline FLC outstanding, which admittedly hasn't progressed as much as I would've hoped by now – but I am confident enough that this timeline meets the FL criteria that I have decided to submit it anyway. One of the things that makes the 1993 Pacific hurricane season stand out is how many of its storms went on to reach high intensities; out of 15 total storms, a whopping 60% became major hurricanes! Two of these reached maximum sustained winds of 150 mph (240 km/h), the highest of any storm this season, at the same time. While there was unfortunately some adverse impact – most notably from Hurricane Calvin, which was a disastrous event for the Manzanillo area – there were also several long-lived and powerful hurricanes that largely remained out to sea with no harm to life or property. That kind of storm is, I would like to think, any meteorologist or storm tracker's favorite type of hurricane.

This timeline was largely modeled after the 2018 and 2020 Pacific hurricane season timelines, both of which are FLs. I have worked to apply feedback from the other FLC to this timeline as well. Dylan 620 (he/him • talk • edits) 18:26, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Quick update to note that the subject of the previous FLC to which I referred in the nomination blurb, Timeline of the 1991 Atlantic hurricane season, has since been promoted – I believe this timeline is up to the standard of the 1991 ATL timeline and I hope the community agrees.

 * Hey man im josh

Source review: Passed
 * Reliable enough for the information being cited
 * Consistent date formatting
 * Consistent and proper reference formatting
 * Appropriate wikilinks where applicable
 * Spot checks on 10 sources match what they are being cited for

Source review comments:
 * Refs 7, 9, 10, 16, 22, 23, 24 – These refs are defaulting to the archive link in sources instead of the source that's still live. Please add to the references.
 * Ref 10 – Wikilink National Hurricane Center
 * Ref 16 – For consistency with ref 1, wikilink Miami, Florida
 * There are 34 instances where the references list "(GIF) (Report)" and 5 instances (refs 7, 10, 22, 23, and 24) where the "(GIF)" portion is listed next to the link to the original source while the "(Report)" part is listed next to the archive link. In all these instances the original sources is still live but needs that designation. For consistency, this should be fixed so that all 39 refs that use "(GIF)" and "(Report)" do so consistently.

Thanks what I've got. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:26, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much for reviewing this, Josh! I believe I have addressed your comments. I actually noticed the issues you brought up in your first and fourth points in my other FLC as well, but couldn't figure out how to resolve them; I'm glad to have solutions! Dylan 620  (he/him • talk • edits) 23:26, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delay, I didn't realized I hadn't responded to this. Support. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:00, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

Accessibility review
Per MOS:PSEUDOHEAD, the use of ";" to make psuedo-headers is not acceptable. It's ironically fixable in two opposite ways: either make them actual headers (e.g. ====June 1====), or make them actual bold text (e.g. June 1), but the semicolon is for a list thing that you're not actually doing, which messes up screen-reader software. -- Pres N  04:40, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi, I appreciate you bringing this to my attention! I've replaced the semicolons with level 6 headers (the header size which looks identical to semicolon headers/bold text) and added higher up the page. It's a different approach from the last few timeline FLs, which simply use bold text, but I figured it was one worth trying.  Dylan 620  (he/him • talk • edits) 17:20, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Seems like WikiCleanerBot didn't like this and converted the level 6 headers into level 4 headers... I think I'm going to keep it that way for now, in the hopes that it would make for easier accessibility than bold text. Dylan 620  (he/him • talk • edits) 18:16, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Image review : Passed
 * which tropical cyclones tend to form in the basin -- worth linking basin (if the terminology has an article)
 * That's all I could find. Really well-written and well-explained lead for readers who are unfamiliar with the topic. It summarizes the timeline quite well. I don't think I have any more to add. Pseud 14 (talk) 19:08, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm blushing a little bit from that second bullet! There is indeed an article for the basin terminology; I've incorporated a piped link to tropical cyclone basins. Thank you very much for your feedback, . Dylan 620  (he/him • talk • edits) 19:45, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Support. Pseud 14 (talk) 19:47, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Images used have alt text
 * Images are appropriately licensed and are from reliable sources (i.e. NORA and NASA)
 * Images have succinct captions, relevant, and provide context for its use in the timeline. Pseud 14 (talk) 19:08, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Lead paragraph2: If you can somehow state that Manzanillo is in Mexico within that sentence, it would save a click.
 * wikilink the first usage of "tropical wave" at Jul 14.
 * Jul 16: outhern to southern.
 * Sep 6: is there a good wikilink for "remnant low"?
 * Couldn't find any other issues with the prose. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 02:17, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the review. I believe that I've addressed all of your points; I'm a little embarrassed to have not caught that "outhern" typo sooner!  Dylan 620  (he/him • talk • edits) 15:34, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Support promotion. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 08:38, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
