[edit] Todo

Is there any more impact? The only damage mentioned is a collapsed structure, but that alone wouldn't total to over $1 million (1972 USD). 3 people died from boating accidents, but was it from collisions, rough seas, or something else? All sources need to be converted to {{cite web}}. It needs a good copyedit, but all in all, not too bad for a storm in this time period. Hurricanehink (talk) 18:26, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

I'll cpe soon as for the Cite Web, no dice (too complcated, looks like a confusing mess when seen in edit mode, easy to forget what to put this and that every time). Storm05 18:45, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, but you'll have to learn how to do it eventually. It's not too complicated when you learn each thing. First, <ref name="something>. That's easy. Just pick an easy name, so later on, you can just do <ref name="something"/> without having to put the entire cite web back in. Then, start the template for cite web by putting {{cite web| Simple enough. Next, put the author's name. author=Max Mayfield , for example. If no author is listed for a person's name, list the publisher or organization. For example, author=National Hurricane Center . After the author, put another | , and put the year like this, year=2003 . Then you put the title after another | , like this. title=2003 Atlantic hurricane season summary . After another | , you can either put the publisher if one exists by putting publisher=National Hurricane Center , or skip to the date you accessed the site like this; accessdate=2006-10-23 . After another | , put the url with the url command like this, url=www.nhc.noaa.gov . Then, close it up by adding }} after the url, and </ref> at the end of the reference. All together, that example would look like this. <ref name="something">{{cite web|author=Max Mayfield|year=2003|title=2003 Atlantic hurricane season summary|publisher=National Hurricane Center|accessdate=2006-10-23|url=www.nhc.noaa.gov}}</ref> It seems complicated, but once you try it and get used to it, it's easy.
