I’d suggest a speedy change, thanks. Jusdafax ( talk) 20:54, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
Based on sources, I believe we are at 4 fatalities. 1 in Guadeloupe [1], 1 in the DR and 2 in PR [2]. Elijahandskip ( talk) 17:23, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
Per Fox News, PR deaths are 8, which would make the total 10. Not sure if I should add though, as an RFC concluded it marginally unreliable. 144.121.66.230 ( talk) 17:30, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
I think we should update the infobox to match this fact. Poxy4 ( talk) 22:26, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

It most certainly did not dissipate at the time these comments were made. Extratropical is not dissipated. Remnant low is not dissipated. We have extra parameters for those. Also, clearly no one was paying attention to the WPC and OPC advisories, which tracked the storm into September 28. Amateurs should not be calling the shots on how information is being presented, as that only makes us look silly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.64.175.74 ( talk) 17:12, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
I had added a dubious claim template to the Hurricane Fiona#Impact impacts by country infobox for the damage total sourced/linked with Guadeloupe. The source does not mention any damage total nor does the impacts section for Guadeloupe. Aka, the $50 million damage total is unsourced. Elijahandskip ( talk) 04:06, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

Under the Eastern Canada section, the insured losses should be in CAD, not USD. The article in citation 84 is from the Canadian Press, and there is no mention of the currency. Because it was written by the Canadian Press and talks about Canadian provinces, it should be assumed that the values are in CAD. Davidflypei ( talk) 13:51, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
What is the actual cost of damage that the hurricane caused? Some say it was $12 billion, while others say $2.68 billion. DENBRO1995 ( talk) 19:52, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
So last night i edited the damage total Fiona did to match the article on 2022 Atlantic hurricane season but my edits were reverted. Shouldn't it say the same total ($5.5 billion) as it says on 2022 Atlantic hurricane season? 24.115.255.37 ( talk) 18:24, 3 December 2022 (UTC)
Hurricane Fiona caused extensive damage in Puerto Rico, so i believe we should make an article about its impacts in Puerto Rico. 2A00:23C8:9C7A:EC01:B89D:14F0:39FB:1700 ( talk) 15:11, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
Under the "Impact" section, the Eastern Canada part says "another person died of carbon monoxide poisoning while operating an electrical generator in Prince Edward Island."
The person referenced died of a heart attack while starting up a generator. Nowhere does the article linked mention carbon monoxide poisoning; it says the cause of death had yet to be determined and "a preliminary investigation suggests that generator issues MAY have played a role."
The person in question is referenced in this article, which mentions the heart attack, though nothing about the generator: https://www.peicanada.com/eastern_graphic/barn-collapses-trapping-animals-inside/article_d448a496-3e93-11ed-8158-230f76522f28.html
I didn't remove this bit yet but it should be. The death may have been partly due to stress from the storm but was not directly caused by the storm. Yellowjournalism ( talk) 18:24, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
