I know they're GA class, but what, if anything, is needed for them to be A class? Hurricanehink (talk) 02:06, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, they are A-Class in my eyes!!!!! I think you should change "Sources" to "References" in the Bonnie article, and maybe adding more stuff for preparations in Leslie. RaNdOm26 16:24, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I changed Bonnie's. However, there's next to no preparations info on Leslie in Florida, mainly because it was a Tropical wave when it caused the damage. Hurricanehink (talk) 18:09, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

I haven't had a look at Leslie, but Bonnie needs a bit more to be A-Class. There's several statements that leave me thinking, "Show, don't tell", such as "...while several other islands issued tropical storm watches.[2]" Which islands? Another example is "Gas production was limited as well.[6]". After giving quite detailed statistics about oil production stoppages, it seems lacking balance. Also, the NHC references are missing publisher = National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in the {{cite web}} calls. But that nitpicking should be enough to push it up to FA-Class, though.

As always, thanks for the copyediting, suggestions, and an outside eye. I'll get on that. Hurricanehink (talk) 02:45, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

For Bonnie, MODIS pic in the IB (see the seasonal section). It may be worth cropping that image, if so upload to the same filename. For Leslie better imagery (the NRL will have some) a better impact pic if possible would be good (but not a biggie). For both two possibilities for extra pics: a radar image and a map of the FEMA declarations. On the text, in Bonnie, the metrication is a bit too precise and the final sentence "will be used in the 2010 AHS" is bad. For Leslie nothing major. For both a copyedit, some wikilinking and other minor cleanup.--Nilfanion (talk) 19:34, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

I've replaced the image in the article. As for the crop, it's not really the best idea, as you can barely see the Yucatan Peninsula in the bottom of the image, and the Gulf Coast is obscured with too many clouds, so it serves as a navigation benchmark. I've upped Bonnie to A-Class now, by the way. Titoxd^(?!?) 06:22, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

It's an FA now. Hurricanehink (talk) 04:58, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

I believe you mean a GA... Titoxd^{(?!? - cool stuff)} 02:10, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
