A fact from Tropical Storm Arthur (2008) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 6 June 2008.

[edit] OR?

Arthur is the first tropical storm to form in May since Tropical Storm Arlene in 1981. Other systems have formed (such as Subtropical Storm Andrea in 2007), but they have started out as subtropical. The formation of Arthur also marks the first time that a named storm formed in May for two consecutive years.

Isn't this technically WP:OR? I'm not saying it's false (I checked and confirmed it's true), but unless we can find a source that definitively states this info, it's definitively OR. I'm going to remove it. TheNobleSith (talk) 04:10, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

We can verify it with HURDAT, so not really. Titoxd^{(?!? - cool stuff)} 09:19, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Also, not everything that is unsourced is OR. OR would be, "XX Commons is considered the worst mall on earth", or "From the roadway, you can see an excellent view". This is just a case of lacking a reference, since I just copied that sentence from the 2008 AHS article. I see it's gone now, though...hmm...

Ah, I geuss I was wrong. Thank you for enlightening me, :). TheNobleSith (talk) 18:33, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Track map

I added a simple version of Arthur's track map that should be replaced by a better version when is available. -Ramisses (talk) 19:01, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
