Alright, let's try this again. It failed a couple days ago, due to a lack of support, despite having the majority of the issues addressed. Now that the article's polished up from the last FLC, I'm hoping this will be easy. In any event, thanks for the reviews! Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 21:35, 11 August 2008 (UTC) reply
sigfig
in the template? You could round to the nearest 10 kph for 323 kph->320kph by using sigfig=2
?

Well whoever "we" are, your rounding is not explained clearly and is inconsistent. It appears that numbers below 100 (?) are rounded to the nearest unit. Rounding to the nearest 5 or 0 seems to occur at an arbitrary point too. Your sources here appear in mph to the nearest 5mph, it doesn't mean the converted values have to follow any such rule - it just compounds the error. What's wrong with the {{ convert}} template which provides consistently correct answers to a definable sig fig? The Rambling Man ( talk) 21:39, 13 August 2008 (UTC) reply
Comments 1) the first thing that lept out at me when i looked at this article was that the season begining and end are not marked in the prose where as on the 2005 Atlantic timeline they are marked within the prose 2) Referencing - There is only one dates that does not have a reference on it which is August 3rd Jason Rees ( talk) 14:06, 12 August 2008 (UTC) reply
