Timeline of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season

 * Nominator(s): TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 21:59, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

The 2012 Atlantic hurricane season was the third most active season in recorded history, for the third year in a row. While impact during the season was widespread...from Isaac hitting the Yucatan, Nadine playing tango with the Azores, and Leslie affecting Newfoundland...the two storms that will be remembered the most are hurricanes Isaac and Sandy. Collectively, the two storms resulted in over 300 deaths and nearly $80 billion in damage; over three-fourths of both of these totals was a result of Hurricane (or Superstorm) Sandy, the second-costliest hurricane in recorded history. Having been through this process before, I feel this timeline now satisfies the requirements of a featured list. Thanks in advance for any comments!

 * Support good job TAWX14. YE Pacific  Hurricane

TropicalAnalystwx13, any chance you could gather some more reviewers from the various hurricane or storm projects to review this further, to prevent it from stalling? The Rambling Man (talk) 14:52, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
 * FTR, we are a bit short on editors at the moment. Two of are most active contributors these past few months, one is busy, and the other is on vacation. This FLC is not the one one being stalled, the FLC quite a bit below this has been around even longer not to mention that we recntly had a FAC fail due to lack of comments, 3 GTC's (2 of which have been open for quite some time, thanks for your support on two of them, BTW), I also have many unreviewd GAN's. YE Pacific  Hurricane 15:41, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I saw the backlog at GAN, 400-odd articles waiting, goodness me. Ok, well sorry, I'm sure you understand the situation, we'll just have to sit on this nom for a while and hope more people come by and express comments or support.  Not much more we can than that I suppose...?  The Rambling Man (talk) 15:45, 23 June 2013 (UTC)


 * I think the list is fine, but perhaps putting it in a table would make such articles less dry? Nergaal (talk) 04:45, 1 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment Since I mainly deal with imagery within the Wikiproject, there are a few things that I'd like to point out. Firstly, the trackmap of the article could be a little larger to suit readers' needs. At this scale, it is quite blurry and thus difficult to pinpoint out storms. Secondly, the images on the right hand are almost a identical copy from the season and storm articles, which is a little redundant and not quite suitable to a timeline article. I can get some images better suited to the timeline and work out complementary captions similar to Timeline of the 2013 Pacific hurricane season. In addition, it would be nice to have more links in the "see also" section, which it is currently lacking. Overall, this article is in great shape and I believe it could easily become a featured list. - HurricaneSpin    (Talk)  18:57, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Sure. We can work to get it sorted out elsewhere. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 02:03, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
 * It has been a while and I would still like to see these points taken into consideration. It shouldn't take too much time to get some more links in the see also section. - HurricaneSpin    (Talk)  18:34, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
 * With all the supports this is getting, this might be the last issue that needs to get sorted out prior to promotion. Try to work towards it when you've got time. - HurricaneSpin    (Talk)  15:56, 23 July 2013 (UTC)


 * All good from my view now. Happy to support this. Nice work TA. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 23:27, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

Comment: Archive all online sources with webcitation.org. You can use this page (step-by-step instructions there) to manually archive all online references which will guarantee they remain accessible even if the site goes down. After this has been resolved, I would be happy to support! SoapFan12 11:13, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Just wanted to note that NOAA sources are always stable so there's no real need to webcite them. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 11:28, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I disagree, I do understand where you are coming from but you never know if NOAA goes down, the source won't be available anymore. Therefore, I think it is very needed to webcite them. SoapFan12 11:48, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Trust me, NOAA is not going down anytime soon. YE Pacific  Hurricane 15:47, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay. Well guess I will have support! *Support: Good job on meeting every single FL criteria. SoapFan12 16:04, 21 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Sucks that this has been at FLC for so long. Here's another support for ya; I hope it helps. Great job on the article! — Statυs  ( talk,  contribs ) 03:54, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
