Created the article due to request from Wilma page. It needed significant reorganization. At least four dead links had to be removed. Thegreatdr 19:06, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
The lead section could use some expansion, and the article seems incomplete. These sort of articles usually have a section on preparation, noting when the hurricane watch was issued and any evacuation orders. Might want to compare the similar-topic featured articles Effects of Hurricane Isabel in Delaware and Effects of Hurricane Isabel in North Carolina. Gimmetrow 06:00, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
The information on tornadoes is not supported by the referenced material. According to the referenced Tropical Cyclone Report, "Wilma produced 10 tornadoes over the Florida peninsula on 23-24 October: one each in Collier, Hardee, Highlands, Indian River, Okeechobee, and Polk Counties, and four in Brevard County." Petecat 13:28, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
The statements regarding hurricane related deaths appear incorrect. The article states, "At least 35 Hurricane Wilma-related deaths were reported in the United States, all in Florida. Wilma was also blamed for at least 26 indirect deaths.[1][2]" There is no support in the references for either of those numbers (26 or 35.) According to the NHC's report [13], there were 5 deaths in FL attributed directly to the hurricane. News media also provide numbers that include indirect casualties, but I've found no reports of that number reaching 26 or 35. I found a total number (direct + indirect) of 21 at MSNBC Does anyone have any other references? Petecat 23:36, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "Meteorology and atmospheric sciences" articles. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. I have made several minor corrections throughout the article. Altogether the article is well-written and is still in great shape after its passing in 2007. Continue to improve the article making sure all new information is properly sourced and neutral. I would recommend adding a source for: "The airport reported $12 million in damages, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel." It would also be beneficial to go through the article and update all of the access dates of the inline citations and fix any dead links. I have also tagged some of the images to be moved to Wikimedia Commons, so if you have an account, consider moving them. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have updated the article history to reflect this review. Happy editing! -- Nehrams2020 ( talk) 08:12, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
This article needs more info for it to maintain its GA-Class standing. 164.106.202.50 ( talk) 16:02, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
During the re-assessment, I mentioned to User:Secret that I could probably list 100 reasons why this article should be de-listed. As a person who lived in South Florida during Hurricane Wilma, I was beyond disappointed by the quality and lack of information in this article. Not sure if I can get 100, but here is 30 reasons and how the article can be improved in the future. I could keep going, but I have stuff to do tonight.-- 12george1 ( talk) 22:24, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
This one is factually true but hard to source since you would have to find some http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/weather/hurricane/sfl-2005-wilma-story.html It refers to "surprising strength" of the storm. Most people did prepare for the storm but the power was out in my house for 11 days. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/millions-powerless-in-florida/
