Merge[edit]

Too little info. Nearly all of the information is in the seasonal article, and this storm is not nearly notable enough. Hurricanehink 03:21, 8 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Strongly agreed. In fact, I may merge it right now... -- Hurricane Eric - my dropsonde - archive 04:41, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Todo[edit]

More info is needed. This site has some useful information, including the damage total ($409,000) and some indirect deaths. Hurricanehink (talk) 23:57, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It says the page cannot be found. íslenska hurikein #12 (samtal) 19:50, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yea, that site went down back in June. You can use the direct data from the National Climatic Data Center, though. Hurricanehink (talk) 19:54, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category?[edit]

Which is the actual Category of Gustav. In the 2002 atlantic hurricane season page says that it was 1 but here says it was 2. Which page is right? This, the 2002 one or neither? juan andrés 00:12, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

When in doubt, check the NHC page. In this case the max windspeed was 85 kts (=100 mph, Cat 2), though this wasn't at the time of minimum pressure hence the confusion. It's fixed.--Nilfanion (talk) 09:38, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

GA passed[edit]

1. Well written? Pass
2. Factually accurate? Pass
3. Broad in coverage? Pass
4. Neutral point of view? Pass
5. Article stability? Pass
6. Images? Pass

Out of curiosity, was there any other response to the incident other than the cordonning off of some area in New York, if so, then it would be a nice addition to the article. As for the article, it passes all of GA's criteria and is an informative chunk of well-organized text. Lincher 02:23, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, there really isn't anything else. Too bad, though. --Coredesat 19:23, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Name[edit]

Was there any reason given for the early naming? It hasnt happened before or since. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.104.32.27 (talk) 18:09, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Atlantic Canada - really ? ?[edit]

A hurricane active in North Carolina how can it hit Nova Scotia or Newfoundland?

Have tropical storms ever survived thus far north? I cannot imagine.

Weird wayback links[edit]

Ref #13 ("NCDC-MA") was the first one I noticed, but I now suspect perhaps all the NCDC "ShowEvent" references have wonky archive links. They all seem (for me at least) to load random-looking "Event Record Details", and when I browse the wayback archive dates event 475001 here for instance, it appears the archived pages themselves are random - compare the Mar 2007 and Sep 2008 archived versions. Am I the only one seeing this? Franamax (talk) 22:44, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WP:URFA/2020[edit]

  • Numerous grammatical issues
  • Met is not entirely comprehensive (ex: does not discuss peak structure of the storm period)
  • This article is using the NCDC as a crutch, largely comprising a single source other than a few minor points.
  • Surely some news agency somewhere covered the impact. It doesn't look like much effort was taken to find impact back in 2006. It seems quite implausible that virtually no news agencies would cover a hurricane making landfall.

Noticing this article for FAR per the above. NoahTalk 05:25, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Listed at WP:FARGIVEN, CCI check not yet done. (I will do a CCI check if it comes to FAR before the CCI peeps get to it.) SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:31, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
