[edit] Structural issues
I know this is under construction...there are still some structuring problems. Jdorje 22:37, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
- The storm path section is very out of place. What is the purpose of this? Should it be changed to a preparations section? If so, some information from the impact can be merged in (see Hurricane Ivan for an example). Jdorje 23:06, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

- Patience... That is going to show its forecasts and why it went southward into the Yucatan Peninsula. Hurricanehink 23:10, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Poor Wording
Wording is poor in a lot of places. One paragraph in the storm history doesn't make sense. Metric units should be included. Inline sources would be nice. Jdorje 23:49, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Forward speed
Shouldn't Isidore's high forward speed be mentioned somewhere in this article? 57 mph is very high, as noted on the list of notable atlantic cyclones. 24.59.126.152 18:57, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
- It's not particularly important. Isidore wasn't number one or number two, and saying that the storm raced to the northeast is good enough. Hurricanehink (talk) 23:17, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sources, anyone?
Sources! Storm05 17:09, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- I'll second that need for sources. B class requires at least one source, and I'm not seeing it. - auburnpilot talk 03:56, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
- New Orleans, LA report - This should probably be included. Hurricanehink (talk) 17:28, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
- I'm slowly remedying the situation. Changes have been made to the lead and certain lines of the article to make it sound more encyclopedaic. Convert templates have been strewn throughout the article, nbsps added, a few wikilinks added, and ten references have been added where the source of the information was particularly obvious. Any help with adding references would be appreciated. Thegreatdr (talk) 09:12, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
- More work has been done. Once the Yucatan section has been referenced, I think we can safely submit this for GAC. Thegreatdr (talk) 19:33, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Good article nomination on hold
This article's Good Article promotion has been put on hold. During review, some issues were discovered that can be resolved without a major re-write. This is how the article, as of March 26, 2008, compares against the six good article criteria:
- 1. Well written?: Pass
- 2. Factually accurate?: Needs more references in the first two paragrpahs of storm history, and most of the second paragraph of Preparations.
- 3. Broad in coverage?: Pass
- 4. Neutral point of view?: Pass
- 5. Article stability? Pass
- 6. Images?: If there are any damage photos, those would be useful.
Just needs a few more refs.
Please address these matters soon and then leave a note here showing how they have been resolved. After 48 hours the article should be reviewed again. If these issues are not addressed within 7 days, the article may be failed without further notice. Thank you for your work so far. Southern Illinois SKYWARN (talk) 21:19, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
