In the article about 1935 Jérémie hurricane is stated that "The flood left 800 families homeless in Chamelecón,[23] where the Ulúa River rose some 50 ft (15 m) from its normal height". The problem is that Chamelecón is a zone near San Pedro Sula and the only river near the Chamelecón area is the Chamelecón river and not the Ulúa river as the article states. The Ulúa river is about 40 km away from Chamelecón. You can consult any map of San Pedro Sula to check this. Thank you for your time. [Comment made by Richard the strong king, elsewhere; moved by me.

The source says this: "The river Ulua innundated the towns of Chamelecon, Choloma, and Progreso. It was officially reported that the river rose 50 feet in Chamelecon." I just checked a map and the Ulua appears to be about 10 miles from Chamelecon, though it does run on the west side of El Progreso and relatively close to Choloma. It could be that in the remote countryside of 1935 Honduras, the towns were sprawling and lacked any real boundaries, or that Chemelecon was the most identifiable spot at the time, so the observer picked the nearest significant town. Maybe something got lost in translation, like "a river in the Ulua drainage basin" somehow turned into "the Ulua River" in print. Not quite sure how to deal with this. Richard the strong king, thoughts? – Juliancolton | Talk 14:43, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
I think it's possible that it was a tributary of the Ulua. Can't the original source be looked at again?♦ Dr. Blofeld
← Well, I've reworked the offending sentence to make fewer definitive statements, while still agreeing with the source. It's possibly a bit weaselly now, but I'd rather leave readers to draw their own conclusions than force questionable info down their throats. – Juliancolton | Talk 18:03, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Hello User:Juliancolton! I am going to review this Good article nomination tonight. I can't remember the last time I reviewed one of your articles, so I think this is overdue :P My issues with this article are listed below.-- 12george1 ( talk) 05:07, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
It appears the article is close to A-class. Here are some comments that I thought could help along its way.
All in all, good writing, a good read! ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk) 01:49, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
