Re: 1947
[edit]Hey there CVW. I suggest you merge the Effects of the 1947 Fort Lauderdale hurricane in Florida, rather than going for FAC. It seems like a bit of a content fork from the main article, so you might run into some issues. The main article has a fair amount of Florida info, around 1,000 words for the impact, while the sub-article has about 2,000 words for the impact. That still leaves room for expansion for aftermath and the gulf coast. Unless articles are over 8,000 words, there's probably not a need for a sub-article. Compare that with the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane, which is over 8,000 words, so the Florida sub-article for that storm makes a lot more sense. I hope this isn't too discouraging. I know you want to have a featured article! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:21, 3 November 2025 (UTC)
- I won't know until it's done, but a lot of my feedback is going to depend on how the state subarticle looks, and how much of that info is in the main article. It's tough to say at this point. It's easier for a storm like the 1932 Abaco hurricane to have a concise narrative that's easy to sell at FAC, and be sure the article is thorough and done. When it's an article for a specific area, IDK, you run the risk of being too detailed for certain locations, or end up with a list of statistics for every single area affected. It's your call though. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:07, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
- I think the 1932 Abaco hurricane is a great choice! Before FAC, double check that the image rights are all correct, and that all citations are good. Because this would be your first FAC, would you like to have a co-nominator? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:25, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
- In the instance you mentioned, I would avoid "furniture" and "lots", so you don't use the same noun, just to be on the safe side. Double check for other instances. Also, make sure your units are consistent. I saw "75-mile-per-hour (121 km/h)", but most of the article abbreviates mph. These are small things that will pop up on FAC. 12george1 recently had an FAC, so it could be worth asking him. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:58, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

Hmm, I use newspaperarchive.com through the Wikipedia library. Have you tried that? [1] ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:08, 17 November 2025 (UTC)
