[edit] To-do

A lot. Preps, spelling, grammar, pictures. – Chacor 16:02, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

What alot?, I reviewed the article before moving it on to the mainspace and Canadian damage pics are hard to find since there probably non-free and the warnings from the MWR is all i can find for the preps. Storm05 16:09, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
and why the low importance?, it caused 184 deaths. Storm05 16:09, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
I'm sorry, but to be frank here, this doesn't cut it. SPAG errors a plenty, your reviews likely missed them; anything with major SPAG errors doesn't deserve B-class. Not enough info on preps says a lot. And importance is not judged by deaths caused. – Chacor 16:12, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
I fixed the spelling and grammar errors, now it can be B Class?. Storm05 13:06, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
No, it still lacks a good storm history section. – Chacor 13:08, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
I redid the storm history section. Storm05 13:31, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
This edit hardly "redid" anything. It needs a solid storm history to be able to stand as a B-class, and IMO the current one is too much of a summary. – Chacor 13:33, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, but thats all the MWR has about history of the storm. Storm05 13:36, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
Search around, I'm sure there's information. Over-reliance on single sources = not good. – Chacor 13:41, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, but a google search only a few sites about the storm and most of it is the impact not the storm history. Anyway our policy states that the storm impact is important not the history since that (storm history) infomation for storms before 1950 are scant anyway. Storm05 13:47, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Impact is surprisingly decent for a storm that happened so long ago. I agree, though, it seriously needs pictures. As for storm history, try searching for other sources on it. This was a fairly notable storm, so there has to be something out there on it. --Coredesat talk! 13:41, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name

Nova Scotia Hurricane strikes me as OR. I'd like to see a source describing this storm as such. At the very least I suspect the H should be a h. According to this link the 1927 August Gale is what the CHC calls it...--Nilfanion (talk) 16:13, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

In canada it was known as the 1927 Great August Gale, in the u.s. its simply known as the 1927 Nova Scotia Hurricane since that where it hit. Storm05 13:00, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
