 * Comment - The aftermath section is longer than the impact section, which is a good indication that it is not comprehensive. Are you sure there's no more info? – Juliancolton  | Talk 04:34, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I searched for several weeks, maybe a month, for impact and what's in the article is all I could find, both in English and Spanish. Cyclonebiskit 21:50, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Alright then, I'll take your word for it. – Juliancolton  | Talk 22:14, 29 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Support - article looks up to par on my read-through, and sources from newspapers have actually been used; this leads me to believe that all or most of the possible sources on this hurricane have been used. — Ed 17  (Talk /  Contribs)  03:59, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose - have all of the comments from the FAC been addressed? Specifically, I have some problems with the writing.
 * "But they were later rescued" - sentences don't start with "But" (in the impact section)
 * "Minor effects were also found around areas of sea grass." - this just feels like a weird sentence.
 * "Throughout the country, a total of 376 latrines, 215 homes, two schools, two community children centres, two community water tanks and five solar panels were destroyed." - is there a way you can organize the information better, so it isn't so listy?
 * The MH should be clearer on the relationship between Beta and Alpha. Remember, it's an article on Beta, so Beta should be the star.
 * The MH should also be clearer on its motion, as I find it a tad confusing why it initially went slowly to the north.
 * Why did the shear increase and decrease while Beta was an intensifying tropical storm? Check discussions and the TWDs.
 * Why did it weaken when it approached its final landfall?
 * Did Recon measure its minimum pressure, or was it estimated? That should be mentioned.
 * The last advisory mentioned the possibility of regeneration in the EPAC. What happened to all of the rainfall once the circulation dissipated? Check EPAC TWO's and both basin TWD's.
 * The template for wettest Honduras TC's should probably be in Honduras's section, not in Nicaragua, which confuses the reader.
 * Any more impact? I see there are only 3 Spanish sources, so maybe there's more there. I wouldn't say it's required for it to keep its GA status, but for A or FA, perhaps more local sources should be used.
 * More later once you respond to this. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 03:48, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
