Hurricane Lenny was a good article, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these are addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. Delisted version: November 13, 2006

[edit] Todo

Impact. Jdorje 09:03, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Better? Now we need pictures. Too tired now, but found a government site located here with some Lenny impact pics. Hurricanehink 04:52, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

I did some copyediting. The article is quite good, the only thing that's really missing is more pictures, and inline sources. Jdorje 05:38, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Glad you think the article is good :) Pictures are a real pain to find them ending in .gov. I did find a Tripod website that has no copyright status whose images would go nicely on here. Located here, it features images on St. Croix. Are they usable, as there is no copyright symbol anywhere on any of the images or the main page? Hurricanehink 14:18, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

If there's no copyright symbol you can assume they are copyrighted. They might still be usable under fair use but that's inferior since each usage has to be justified. Jdorje 18:54, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Oh yea, how much more to B class? Hurricanehink 17:01, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

It's surely B-class. I dunno if it's A-class though. — jdorje (talk) 03:49, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Nah, it's not an A class, though I thought it was a B. Hurricanehink 03:50, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Good Article nomination has passed

Congratulations! The Good article nomination for Hurricane Lenny has passed. Many thanks to all who were involved in the creation of this article. This article is a little bit on the short side. If it is at all possible, I suggest adding more text and possibly removing one of the destruction images if there is no more text to add. Right now it seems that the images take up more space than the text does. --SomeStranger^(t) 13:32, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA delisting

I have delisted this article from GA status. It still lacks a lot of information. I've managed to find three articles on Lenny from the BBC News archives which contain information not presented here. I'd not be surprised if there was more. Preparations needs a lot more work. – Chacor 09:54, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree with the delisting, but how is it not B class? It provides a good summary of the storm. Hurricanehink (talk) 16:12, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

1. Article is incomplete.
2. Cite web formatting.

If the article can be saved and more information added (there is a lot out there, really, just look around), and references changed to our preferred cite.php, then yes it'd be B. – Chacor 01:00, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

...And? Sure, there can be more information added, but the same goes for Hurricane Charley, Hurricane Frances, Hurricane Jeanne, Hurricane Isabel, Hurricane Juan, and Hurricane Andrew, but they're all B or above. Not all of them have cite web formatting, either. Hurricanehink (talk) 02:08, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Get rid of the stub sections here first, and I'll be glad to up to B. As it stands right now an important part of any TC article which had impact, which is preparations, is a stub section. – Chacor 08:23, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I'll agree with you on the start. It needs a good bit more info, and being at start will mean people will recognize that it needs a good bit more work. Hurricanehink (talk) 14:46, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
