Timeline of the 2007–08 South Pacific cyclone season

 * Nominator(s): Jason Rees (talk) 20:41, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because... after a complete rewrite of the list over the last few weeks i feel that the list is ready for FLC. I have checked with both User:Hurricanehink and User:Juliancolton who both feel that it is ready. Any comments are welcome.Jason Rees (talk) 20:41, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

 * FixedJason Rees (talk) 16:08, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * How? The Rambling Man (talk) 06:21, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Ive clarified whats east of 160E unless you meant West (ie the Aus region).Jason Rees (talk) 15:28, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * A non-expert would not understand what you mean by "east of 160E". Spell it out.  The Rambling Man (talk) 16:09, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * As a non-non-expert, I'm not sure how else to word that to be honest. Would a link to longitude piped to the "E" suffice? – Juliancolton  &#124; {{sup| Talk }} 16:17, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Definitely. You and I know that 160E means 160 degrees longitude east, but we shouldn't assume a non-expert has a clue what 160E means.  The Rambling Man (talk) 16:29, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

 * RSMC Nadi attaches an F suffix to tropical disturbances that form or move into the South PacificJason Rees (talk) 15:35, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * No, the grammar was poor and needs to be fixed per my suggestion, or reworded. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:09, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah and i reworded it per youre suggestion.Jason Rees (talk) 16:21, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Not quite, but I've fixed it per my suggestion. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:33, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok Thanks.Jason Rees (talk) 17:23, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Interestingly, the timeline (in my opinion) fails WP:ACCESS as you only have colour to designate the category. For colour-blind folks, and those not able to discern the different colours so well will not be able to work out which category each storm is in.
 * The only way around this i think is to link the section back to the seasonal article which i have done.Jason Rees (talk) 16:33, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Not by any means the "only way around this". Fix the timeline to make it comply with our accessibility guidelines. The Rambling Man (talk)
 * It is the only one i can think off so if you have a suggestion let us know.Jason Rees (talk) 21:25, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Fix the timeline to comply with WP:ACCESS. This isn't WP:PR, so if you need further advice, I'd look elsewhere.  Sorry to sound harsh but this is your problem to fix.  The Rambling Man (talk) 21:28, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I think ive managed to find a way around it but id like to point out that none of the other featured timelines has had this problem.Jason Rees (talk) 21:39, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Then they all need to be fixed. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:16, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Spaced hyphens in January 10.
 * FixedJason Rees (talk) 16:08, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Nope. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:21, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep.Jason Rees (talk) 15:35, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Last two entries in January 10 have spaced hyphens still. Please fix.  The Rambling Man (talk) 16:09, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * No they dont -
 * 1800 UTC, (0600 FST, January 11) - RSMC Nadi reports that Tropical Cyclone Elisa (11P) has intensified into a Category 2 tropical cyclone.
 * 1800 UTC, (0600 FST, January 11) - RSMC Nadi reports that Tropical Cyclone Elisa (11P) has reached its 10-minute peak sustained wind speeds, of 95 km/h, (60 mph).
 * Well, on my screen, the "hyphen" between "... 11) - RSMC Nadi ..." on each of those lines is a spaced hyphen. Perhaps my browser needs a slap... The Rambling Man (talk) 16:30, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Perhaps but ive C&P two – from another point in the article.Jason Rees (talk) 16:41, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Not correctly, obviously. I've fixed the issue.  The Rambling Man (talk) 16:54, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok Thanks.Jason Rees (talk) 17:23, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
 * "Regional Specialized Meteorological Center (RSMC) in Nadi, Fiji" all one link? why not link the "Regional Specialized Meteorological Center (RSMC)" as you currently do and Nadi, Fiji to Nadi, Fiji?
 * Same for the TCWC.
 * Ive considered doing this in the past and i think its better to link to the company pages as opposed to RSMC and then Nadi Fiji or RSMC and Wellington NZ.Jason Rees (talk) 16:08, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Not in my opinion. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:11, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Why? - Both articles have more details on the centers than the articles your wanting me too link to.Jason Rees (talk) 21:27, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm confused why you wouldn't think it better to link both the company and its location. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:19, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Because we wouldnt be. Both links would go to their name sakes ie Regional Specialized Meteorological Center & Nadi, FijiJason Rees (talk) 13:53, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * So link them individually. The organisation and the location. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:41, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * After taking some independent advice ive done the wikilink the way you wanted it.Jason Rees (talk) 15:42, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Timeline needs en-dashes for the various speed ranges.
 * FixedJason Rees (talk) 16:46, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * "RSMC Nadi reports" makes RSMC a singular entity, "RSMC Nadi issues their final" this makes them plural...
 * Personally i do not see the issue but I have been advised by User:Juliancolton that British English would present it as plural, while American English would present it as singular.Jason Rees (talk) 17:18, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * At least be consistent within the article. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:41, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorted i think.Jason Rees (talk) 16:00, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * You should link UTC and FST at least once.
 * DoneJason Rees (talk) 16:08, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * "0600 UTC, (1800 FST, February 7)" FST is 36 hours ahead of UTC?

 * "February 18}" curly bracket.
 * FixedJason Rees (talk) 16:08, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * "re–intensified" hyphen, not en-dash.

 * "Depression 14F (24P) " or "14F, (24P)," be consistent.

I'll support, having done some standardization to the article's comma usage. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 04:43, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
