Just so you know, you can't assess your own articles. It needs inline sourcing, a good copyedit, a split records and impact section, and info from NHC and CHC discussions. Hurricanehink (talk) 20:52, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

The first sentence bothers me, but I don't know how to modify it in a way that would to easily understandable to the layman. Are you trying to say Nicole was the first system to be called a subtropical cyclone operationally and be named from the traditional Atlantic name set? There have been several systems named that were subtropical initially, even in NHC discussions from the time, but not been called subtropical in the main header of their products and were given a name from the usual name list (More memorable examples from my viewpoint: Hortense through Lili (1984), Juan (1985), Andrew (1986), Charley (1986)).

I think he's saying a named subtropical storm that never became tropical. Hurricanehink (talk) 21:06, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Ah, more like Juan (1985) then. That system looked awful in the Gulf of Mexico surrounded to the north by air temperatures in the 50s and 60s and a large stratus shield that reached the Great Lakes while Juan was still centered in the Gulf of Mexico. The change has been made. Thegreatdr 21:09, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Nice job. Yea, Juan was hardly a typical tropical cyclone. Hurricanehink (talk) 21:35, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stub-class

No way this is a start. It has very little info to stand on its own. – Ch acor 11:01, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Why isn't this article a start? It seems to have organized information which is referenced. What more does it need? It doesn't appear much more can be added to it. Thegreatdr 02:49, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

This was a stub-class, but it's since been worked on. Upped. – Ch acor 03:00, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Is it B class yet? If not, what more is needed? Hurricanehink (talk) 03:06, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Probably is good enough to qualify for B-. No major errors I can find. – Ch acor 03:28, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

In that case, I put it up for GA. Hurricanehink (talk) 03:40, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

How can a low formed in August cause a tropical storm in October?

Wow, I'm sorry about that. I was working on another article (a season article) as I was writing this, and I guess it slipped my mind. That was the only month mistake in the article, and I fixed it. Hurricanehink (talk) 15:19, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
