This is the talk-page for article: 1915 Galveston Hurricane.
The article " 1915 Galveston Hurricane" was created in April 2006 by long-term, periodic user Storm05, as a full-length draft (with infobox), but with many spelling/grammar or accuracy issues and unclosed ref-tag footnote issues. Those issues persisted for over 2 years. - Wikid77 ( talk) 09:02, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
If you're going to make an article in the future, make something useful, like an article on Hurricane Craze's LNSB list ;) Just kidding, but good start on the storm. Yes, you got a B class storm on the first try. The content is there, but some general todo is fixing some grammatical and spelling errors. Wording isn't the best in places, but overall, good job. I just can't believe the storm didn't have an article already. There's still plenty of room for an improvement. Hurricanehink 19:26, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
According to 20th century, the century began on Jan 1, 1901. Thus, the 1900 hurricane was in the last year of the *19th* century. 86.136.250.154 ( talk) 00:12, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
21-Sep-2008: I have added subheaders above as "Topics from 2006" (etc.) to emphasize the dates of topics in the talk-page. Older topics might still apply, but using the year headers helps to focus on more current issues as well. Also, I put a topic for "Created" at the top to explain the article background. - Wikid77 ( talk) 09:02, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
21-Sep-2008: This week, I have completed most copy-edit updates to handle spelling/grammar, accuracy, run-on sentences, and unclosed ref-tag issues originating in the April-2006 draft revision. There had been over 50 quality problems, and some of them had persisted for over 2 years. See details at " /Comments". - Wikid77 ( talk) 09:02, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
