This review is transcluded from Talk:Effects of Hurricane Georges in Louisiana/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Hi, I am reviewing this article for GA. It is a nice little article, clearly written. The one problem I have is that it does not follow WP:LEAD which is part of the GA criteria. I have done some minor copy editing of the article which is hopefully OK with you.

Your concerns are about the background info not being in the main body of the article right? Just as a note, that's how these articles have been written, Effects of Hurricane Isabel in North Carolina has the same format and is a featured article.

I cannot explain why another article became a FA. All I can do is review this article using the current good article criteria. —Mattisse (Talk) 20:39, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I took a shot at it, I hope I did it correctly. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 20:51, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine. You might add a little more to the lead to cover other aspect of the article not mentioned there, such as preparations. The lead is supposed to be a concise summary of the article, so that anyone just reading the lead and not reading further will get the major points. —Mattisse (Talk) 20:58, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I think I got it now. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 21:04, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well done! —Mattisse (Talk) 22:02, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hurricane is different than thunders. These two shall not be mixed. I think at some points in the article these two meanings are used interchangeablyMikhail.bulgakov (talk) 22:16, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, this article has not withstood the test of time.... The article has four dead links and there aren't that many sources to begin with due to its small size. The dead links should not be removed, but this makes the article unreliable since the accuracy can no longer be checked. This means it no longer fulfills the standards for FA. Consider the article on notice. Noah^Talk 04:24, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WP:URFA/2020

Assessing as part of the ongoing URFA/2020 FA sweeps. I see that the dead links issue above seems to have been addressed, and searching in a couple places doesn't bring up anything that suggests that there's significant scholarly literature. However, there are two things here that lack citations - lowest pressure and 1-minute sustained wind speeds. Marking as satisfactory at URFA/2020, but hopefully this note can be addressed.
