[edit] Assessment

Nice job hink. Start for now.|Mitchazenia 19:35, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. Why not B? What more is needed? Hurricanehink (talk) 20:16, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

I just seem the habit of starting every assessment at Start. Raise it if you wish.Mitchazenia 20:29, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, it's a policy, I can't :P However, you shouldn't start every assessment at start. The point of assessing an article is to say what else is needed if it is a start or stub. If it is at B class criteria (fairly comprehensive, inline sourcing, metrification), you can put it at B class right away. Hurricanehink (talk) 20:31, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

I understand-even though i always wrote at the end (or usually): If you disagree, feel free to change it. Oh and i noticed something-doesn't Erin actually have affects on Newfoundland? The track makes it an almost-landfall.Mitchazenia 20:33, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

I can't change it. You're not allowed to assess your own articles. In your mind, what is keeping this from being B class? ;) Yes, Erin does have effects on Newfoundland. The article clearly states that in the impact section. Hurricanehink (talk) 20:35, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Oh well=I'll change it.Mitchazenia 20:39, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

OK, I've now put it up for GA nomination. I'll try to review it for potential for GA, A, or FA rating. Anyone want to help out with me in the reviewing process? CapeVerdeWave 12:27, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA nomination a success - nice job

1. It is well written. PASS
2. It is factually accurate and verifiable. PASS
3. It is broad in its coverage. PASS
4. It follows the neutral point of view policy. PASS
5. It is stable, i.e. it does not change significantly from day to day and is not the subject of ongoing edit wars. This does not apply to vandalism and protection or semi-protection as a result of vandalism, or proposals to split/merge the article content. PASS
6. It contains images. SO-SO, BUT ADDITIONAL IMAGES CAN BE ADDED

Nice job at creating this article. Only possible recommendation is that some damage pictures (such as from Bermuda) can possibly be added, and that some slightly more detail can be added into the preparations and impact sections. Otherwise, no problems can be seen. Good job!

By the way, what is the ID number of this article (reviewed version)? How do I add the reviewed version? Please help. CapeVerdeWave 12:00, 15 November 2006, (UTC)

I added another image of the hurricane while it was south of Nova Scotia. There are more images out there, but this is an article, not an image gallery. I can't find any more preparations or impact, as the storm was mostly a fish storm. There are some impact pics from Bermuda from newspapers, but they're all copyrighted by AP.

It's OK. The article is good as it is. By the way, what is the ID number of the article so I can add the reviewed version I did into the GA section? How do I find the ID numbers of Wikipedia articles? CapeVerdeWave 16:22, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for assessing it. I have no idea of what you do with the GA nomming, sorry. Hurricanehink (talk) 21:23, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
