Nicely done. As for the pictures, if there's no copyright notice we can't use them AFAIK. Jdorje 21:43, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, and damn ;) Hopefully some pics will turn up somewhere. Hurricanehink 22:55, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA nom has failed

The Good article nomination for Hurricane Pauline has failed for the following reason:

The article is a bit short. -- King of Hearts ^talk 03:04, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Aftermath

There should be an aftermath section. Retirement and some of the current impact section should be put there, and I'm sure more info can be found. — jdorje (talk) 03:30, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA Nomination June 2006 (declined)

I've reviewed a number of these Hurricane articles now , this isnt there yet in the overall prose. Another concern is this paragrapgh

In Oaxaca, Hurricane Pauline killed 15 people, with 22 missing. [5] Pauline destroyed thousands of acres of crops, destroyed thousands of cattle, and killed many in the province. [6] International aid focused on the wealthier Acapulco initially, though weeks later food and aid were delivered to the stricken areas.

the opening say 15 killed supported by ref #5, then says killed many supported ref #6. its a duplicate of the same statement but when you check ref #6 the document says 110 people killed in Oaxaca. sorry guys i've declined GA on this, but if you want me to come back and review again just drop a note on my talk page Gnangarra 08:22, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
