Hurricane Rita was a good article, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these are addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

[edit] Rita TCR updates
Rita's TCR has received updates, as of 14 August 2006. PDF Word Chacor 02:53, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Start class
Yes, this article is still start class, due to the overall lack of organization and sources. Hurricanehink (talk) 17:05, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sub-articles?
I think that several sub-articles should be made: Meteorological history of Hurricane Rita, Effects of Hurricane Rita on Florida, Cuba (those two could be merged), Louisiana, Texas and Hurricane Rita tornado outbreak (which for the most part covers other areas) should be made. CrazyC83 01:19, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
- No need for Cuba, IMO. Rather than an article for the tornado outbreak, what about having a generic article called Effects of Hurricane Rita by region, which would include detailed impact on Mississippi and Arkansas. This is similar to how Katrina is handled. Hurricanehink (talk) 02:46, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
-
- Such was suggested because the outbreak produced up to 62 tornadoes (although some research is needed) and caused fatalities, which would together be article-worthy on its own if it wasn't connected to a hurricane (per WP:MWE standards). CrazyC83 13:43, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
-
-
- The main problem I can see is that the tornado outbreak would overlap with the other sub-articles. If a good tornado article can be created without overlapping with the Louisiana and Texas articles, I suppose it would be a good idea. Hurricanehink (talk) 14:47, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

-
- It's been a couple of months and no one has actually made new articles for any of the topics suggested here. Meanwhile, the page is of normal length, and the suggestions look silly. So I am going to remove them. Feel free to revert my changes, but only if you are going to write actual articles for each of the subsections. Zweifel 21:16, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] NWS reports
These should be included in the article. Hurricanehink (talk) 17:35, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Animation
The landfall animation gets stuck for me, only repeating the first three frames. Does this only affect me or is it a problem that needs to be resolved? Jamie|C 12:59, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
I believe this is a common problem as it was the same for me in only repeating 3 frames. I think a better version could possibly be avalible at this website. [1]. This website which is a branch of the National Weather SErvice has many great storm animations. Juliancolton 21:13, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
This thing needs referneces! Juliancolton (talk) 14:59, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
Well if you actually lived in Houston then thats all the reference that you need. (128.194.12.69 (talk) 15:34, 24 March 2008 (UTC))
[edit] "Trivia" tag
No comment was left explaining the tag. The section that was tagged has meteorological records, not Trivia (it's about season statistics, not pop songs with the name Rita in the title.) I think it can be removed. DavidH (talk) 05:40, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
- I'd say that we could embed it into the rest of it anyway so it might have been an in-expert editer like myself Itfc+canes=me (talk) 17:24, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
- I have sorted it out... DO NOT KILL ME IF IT DOES NOT WORK WITH THE ARTICLE Itfc+canes=me (talk) 17:24, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
