[edit] Delete

I nominate this article for deletion, though I'm not sure how to do it. The storm did not hit any landmass as a tropical system, and while it did hit the United Kingdom and do damage there, that could easily be put in the 1998 Atlantic hurricane season article. At the very least, this could be part of a Hurricane Bonnie (1998) article if it is ever made. Hurricanehink 18:11, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

If deleted it should be changed to a redirect to the 1998 season. The current article is barely long enough not to be considered a stub but most of the text is pretty useless. Jdorje 03:59, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Remake

I changed the title so that it refers to the 1998 Danielle for my article on the 1998 Danielle. I tried my best to create the Danielle article. Yes, perhaps it should be merged, though I tried hard to make this a good article. CapeVerdeWave 05:00, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, not bad, but you should have more from outside of the TCR. In the preparations section, you could include any tropical discussions that indicated a possibilty of a track further to the west (I.E. threatening land). Hurricanehink (talk) 02:26, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

I added some more details and sources and fixed some errors. I found some more information, but is there any tips you can give me on how to improve the article's writing while adding more worthwhile information into it? Also, I have a feeling the long storm history section needs to be toned down, shortened, and be written better, and that the impact and preparation sections, as mentioned, need to be expanded.

For the most part, you need more sources that aren't the TCR. The storm history should be shortened to 3 paragraphs; precursor to genesis, genesis to peak, post-peak to losing its identity (including extratropical storm part here). As for preparations, did North Carolina take any precautions due to Danielle following just a week after Bonnie? Impact, ideally, could be divided up between Bermuda/US/Canada as one section and Britain as another. I include Canada in there because, according to the CHC, Danielle produced strong waves. Also, as a bit of trivia, this site says that hurricane researcher Jose Partagas had its ashes spread out through the hurricane. Hopefully you can think of a way of expanding.

Thanks for the tips. I'll try to improve the article in the ways you mentioned when I'm ready. I am relatively new at this, and I did read the tips Wikipedia gives. Again, thanks. CapeVerdeWave 11:27, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Sure thing. Hurricanehink (talk) 18:29, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

I toned down a lot of the technical information taken straight from the TCR. There were some redundancies and all of the intensities should be mentioned in mph, not knots. Knots are only informative to the Navy, shipping, and people who do a lot of boating. bob rulz 17:30, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
