[edit] Todo

I marked it as stub because it has not a single source. However even aside from that it needs some work. I don't like the chronological structure; I'd rather see it split back into Storm history/Preparations/Impact/Aftermath sections. Also the intro needs to be expanded. Overall the content is good so the issues are mostly technical. Jdorje 21:30, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Better? Hurricanehink 16:17, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
Yep. It could be B-class at this point but I'd like to see more sources first. Also the impact section could use a summary: maybe in the retirement subsection. Jdorje 19:22, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
Actually, all of the sources were from those two links. That second link has a lot of news headlines, though. Hurricanehink 01:38, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, I'm not sure what should be done with the references then. Maybe separate entries are needed each time a bit of data comes from one of them. Jdorje 01:48, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

I know you're going to ask for some, so here's a page with tons of them. Am I allowed to use them, because there is no copyright status? Hurricanehink 14:44, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Contradiction:

Did the storm hit cuba with 135mph or 140mph winds? Jdorje 19:20, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Both, actually. At Cayo Largo, an island south of the main part of Cuba, it was 140 mph, while mainland Cuba was 135 mph. Hurricanehink 01:38, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA Failed

This article failed because it doesn't seem to cover all aspects of the topic and it has a few stubby sub-sections. A few suggestions would be to add a preperation section detailing how people of the affected area prepared and even possibly an aftermath section would go along nicely in the article.
