Talk:1886 Atlantic hurricane season

Ten Straight Hurricanes!

This season saw ten consecutive hurricanes form, that has to be a record. -- §HurricaneERICarchive 23:34, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Record surpassed, there was eleven consecutive hurricanes in 1878. --12george1 (talk) 15:31, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To do

This article needs some work. Aside from the general lack of information, some of what's there is inaccurate. -- §HurricaneERICarchive 23:34, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rate Attribute Review Comment
1. Well-written:
1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.
  • The 1886 Atlantic hurricane season included seven hurricanes that struck or moved across the United States at that intensity to me this sentence seems ambigious at first glace, specifically I found myself asking 'at what intensity?', though I understand it probably means hurricane level intensity. Perhaps it could be clarified especially since it's the first sentence of the article? Done
  • The season featured 12 known tropical storms, 10 of which became hurricanes, then-tied for the most. same with this one, technically it makes sense, but it feels clunky and ambigious to a broad audience. Done
  • This isn't strictly necessary, but I think adding recent inflation-adjusted damage costs would greately contextualise the amount of damage and give readers a greater appreciation of the costs, but I'll leave this up to you. Done
  • Copyedit completed.
1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.
2. Verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check:
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
  • Source spot check completed on several claims
  • All sources are reliable government/NWS publications or meteorological databases
2c. it contains no original research.
2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.
  • No copyvio apparent
3. Broad in its coverage:
3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.
3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.
6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
7. Overall assessment. Issues fixed and article ready to be passed.
