After taking a break to focus on other projects, I'm back with the sixth timeline nomination in an ongoing series. This particular timeline documents the 2014 Pacific hurricane season, one of the most active ever recorded in the basin. It included a Category 5 behemoth, the basin's strongest known May hurricane, a rare landfalling system on the Big Island of Hawaii, an infamous hurricane that devastated large swathes of the Baja California peninsula, and twelve other hurricanes for a total that tied an all-time record set over 20 years prior. Until this past week, portions of this listicle (especially from §September onward) were nearly a decade out of date, and a Scary Orange BoxTM was placed eight years ago alluding to this issue, which has now been resolved. I look forward to the community's feedback and will address any concerns as promptly as possible. (Nerdy mathematical aside... 2+0+1+4=7, and if this nomination passes, it will be my seventh featured list.) Dylan620 (he/him • talk • edits) 21:48, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • "and an atypically strong upper-level divergence" - Is there a good wikilink for "divergence"?
  • The distances for Genevieve seem very large. Wouldn't it be better to show distances from some point in Hawaii, instead of Baja California? -MPGuy2824 (talk) 11:23, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you MPGuy2824 for your feedback. Replies below:
  • Adding "an" in front of "upper-level divergence" wouldn't really work because "divergence" is an uncountable noun, at least in this context. Surprisingly, divergence (meteorology) is a redlink; the closest existing article I can think of would probably be convergence zone. Ultimately, I decided to condense the sentence in question to remove mention of divergence, as part of me worried that it was a little too in-depth for casual readers.
  • Regarding Genevieve, I thought about how long some of those distances are. I had originally decided to stick with Baja California as a reference point because it is explicitly mentioned by the Tropical Cyclone Report for Genevieve. By contrast, no specific location in Hawaii is mentioned; it only refers to the Hawaiian Islands as a group. I've adjusted the location references beginning with Genevieve's second dissipation—where Hawaii is first mentioned in the TCR—with distances inferred from 21°30′N 158°00′W / 21.5°N 158.0°W / 21.5; -158.0, which is the location point in the upper-right corner of the Hawaii article itself.

Source review

edit

At first glance nothing seems to be unreliable. So Ill take the source review. Everything is archived Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 00:41, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The only issue I see is that Ref 28 should be marked as being in Japanese.

Ill get on with the spot checks soon.
