I just greatly expanded and referenced it. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 23:32, 8 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I upped it to B class. Good work. You should nominate it for GA. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 23:41, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I did nominate it. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 22:51, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Now a GA. Have you any other improvement suggestions? Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 16:04, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * It looks pretty good, but not quite A class. The wording is a little unusual in the legacy section (cash cow, for example), and not quite encyclopediac in a lot of places. There's a few places without citations, so that's needed. Also, though it's a pain, Cite web formatting is needed for A class. All in all, not too much work is needed for an FAC run. --Hurricanehink ( talk ) 18:14, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I added a source for the s you added. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 21:50, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Good. Here's some things that could be changed. Try and use the active voice as much as possible. More should be mentioned in the hypothesis. Words like eventually should not be used. Exact dates are better. Who first hypothesized that seeding would weaken hurricanes? There's still some poorly written phrases, like "The next thing that the hurricane did", "For some reason, however, someone neglected to notify the press that seedings were not going on", "then a sort of "gun" mounted on the wings ", and a few other places. The word "some" should never be used. It sounds too informal, and better, more accurate words should replace it. "Today, the HRD employs 30 people and has a staff of 2.6 million dollars each year." doesn't make sense. Staff of $2.6 million? The article needs cite web formatting. Sorry, but that's a requirement for A class articles. There might be more, I don't know, but that's all I can think of with a quick read through. --Hurricanehink ( talk ) 01:29, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * The bulleted references are now in cite web formatting, and I adjusted the wording in the suggested places, and I fixed the error regarding the staff and budget. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 20:21, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm a little confused. They are in reference formatting, but not cite web. This is cite web (or book). So some of them have to be fixed. Also, was there any public reaction to the project? All-in-all, though, it's pretty good. Close to A-class. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 01:55, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

I would like to see some online sources, as there are currently one. True, books are usually preferred, but online might provide more recent information. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 04:58, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
