Todo[edit]

A nice start. Needs a full copyedit to fix the spelling and grammar errors. Overall prose is weak and awkward in places. Is there any more storm history? Since the storm is fairly recent, I would think the SH could be expanded quite a bit. Also, there are some MoS breaches. For example, in the sentence, High wind gusts of 53-58 mph (85-93 km/h)..., 53-58 should be an en dash instead of a hyphen. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 13:21, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll chime in. UTC times should be a four digit number (0600), not (600). Capitalization and spacing errors should be fixed. The units need fixing in regards to rounding; if the first unit is rounded to ending in a 5 or 0, the other unit should also be rounded. This sentence makes no sense - Operationally, there was uncertainty if that area of disturbed weather was related to an earlier tropical wave that crossed Central America as that system was poorly tracked. Why does that even matter if operationally its origins were uncertain? Surely its origins were better assessed in post-analysis. 105 miles south of Hawaii needs metric unit. I'm really confused at the last two sentences of the SH. The second to last sentence says at 1727 UTC, the low level had nearly dissipated, and then, 33 minutes later, At 1800 UTC, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center issued their final advisory on Jimena as the storm dissipated 715 miles (1151 km) southeast of Wake Island. What is up with that? Like JC said, it's a good start, content wise (the SH is probably a good enough length). With some work it could reach GA status, but not quite yet. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 14:04, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I made some changes a while back, is it ready now for B Class?. Storm05 (talk) 12:25, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but not yet. I'll give you some examples of things to fix.
  • Jimena formed on August 28 in far Eastern Pacific Ocean as a tropical depression and moved westward where it rapidly became a hurricane the following day. Seems to be missing the word "the" in between "far Eastern".
  • Jiemna bushed past the Hawaii before becoming a tropical depression on September 3. Notice the typo?
  • Moving westward over waters grater than 82°F (28°C)[3], "Grater"?
  • On August 29, satellite imagery showed a well defined eye developing in the storm as the storm winds increased to 60 mph (97 km/h). Is poorly worded.
  • Rainfall of 6–10 inches were reported across the Big Island. "Rainfall were reported"?
  • Damage from Hurricane Jimena was minimal as high winds from the storm knocked down trees and damaged power lines leaving 1,300 residents without electricity. Huh? The sentence says damage was minimal, but it goes on to talk about damage it caused!!
Overall it still needs some work. It has some good content, but there are numerous spelling, grammar and wording issues. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 12:36, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Storm05 (talk) 12:43, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There's still a typo in the lead. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 13:10, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I dont see any. Storm05 (talk) 17:45, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It would be better for you to read the article word by word, but here it is: Jiemna brushed past the Hawaii before becoming a tropical depression on September 3. Also, "The Hawaii"? Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 19:05, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed. Storm05 (talk) 11:43, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:Hurricane Jimena (2003)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review. GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

  1. Is it well written?
    A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
    In the Storm history section, it would be best to add the year the Hurricane took effect.
    Check. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 17:38, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
    In the Storm history section, "National Hurricane Center" is linked twice, it would be best for it to be linked once, here. In the Preparations and Impact section, it would be best to add (CPHC) after "Central Pacific Hurricane Center", I mean I know what it is, but how 'bout the person that reads this article. Question: Should "Jimena" be bolded in the Preparations and Impact section? Same section, "Hawaii" and "Big Island" should only be linked once. The article has a "red link", if it doesn't have an article, it would be best to un-link it, per here. In case I forgot to mention other repeats, please make sure that the sections in the article are linked once.
    Check. Question: What "Glenwood" is the article talking about? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 17:38, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Hawaii, fixed. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 17:51, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Check. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 17:57, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
    A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
    B. 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):
    C. It contains no original research:
    D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:
    B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
  4. Is it neutral?
    It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
  5. Is it stable?
    It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
  6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:
    B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
    If the above statement can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article! Also, contact me if the above statements are answered.

I decided to butt in and help out. Fixed the overlinking and added the year to the storm history. Should be good now. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 02:15, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you to Juliancolton for getting the stuff I left at the talk page, because I have gone off and placed the article as GA. Congrats. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 17:57, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Basin Crosser[edit]

Why you guys don't make a focus on the fact that Jimena existed in all 3 Pacific Basins? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.35.177.156 (talk) 18:12, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Because it did not. Jimena failed to go in the SPAC :P. IT did go in all 3 NHEM Pacific AOR's though. YE Pacific Hurricane
