Hello there! Does anyone have a picture of the track of Hurricane Bertha? Thanks so much! CodingCyclone (talk) 18:19, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Someone submit the article for review. It looks good Destroyeraa (talk) 19:40, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Did it. Now it is accepted. Destroyeraa (talk) 15:44, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is only one source cited and it's a blog. No Reliable sources. I have searched and haven't found that number anywhere else. That number does not appear to be accurate. I think it should be removed or sourced better. 192.107.159.198 (talk) 14:55, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This says that bertha's damage was over $200 million, but the article says only about $130,000. Which one is it. Hurricanehuron33 (talk) 23:33, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ThoughtLeadership is not a reliable source. It is $130 thousand. 🐔 Chicdat ^{Bawk to me!} 10:46, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Then why is it used so much? Hurricanehuron33 (talk) 13:15, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It used to be used a lot, but then the TCR came out. Look at it for the (official) damage. 🐔 Chicdat ^{Bawk to me!} 10:25, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

They are both reliable sources, so this is tricky. In this case, the $130,000 is from NCDC. Because the TCR didn't say anything about there being significant damage (and $200M is a lot, $25M is usually the cutoff for them), we should probably go with the NCDC report. However, the NCDC is a case of adding up damage totals (WP:CALC), while the other source explicitly credits Bertha to the $200M. I hope there'll be some clarity in the post-season, when we usually get individual damage totals, like some report on the 10 US landfalling storms. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:00, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

200 million is overkill. Anyway, this article needs to be expanded and cleaned up so it can be Ga within three months.~ Destroyeraa🌀 16:33, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

$200 million is overkill but $130,000 seems low. --HurricaneTracker495 (talk) 16:37, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Hink,

So you've reviewed Dolores and peer-reviewed Barry along with Noah. I've learned many things about reviewing from you and Noah, and I hope I will give an adequate review. This is only my second review whatsoever, so I ask Hurricane Noah to give a second review for anything I missed.

@Destroyeraa: Is it ok if I can help? I might do some of these while Hink does other things, such as FL hurricanes. I like hurricanes 03:23, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, Destroyeraa what did you mean with this one? I upper-cased "hour", if that's what you meant. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:23, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• FN 11 and everything from NCDC - should be cite report, add should be something like "Event:Thunderstorm Wind [date and time]"

• Is there a reason? Not all of the events are on a single date. Also, this is how I've been citing NCDC for years. Was there a discussion I missed? Is there something sub-par about the way it's referenced? All it's adding is the exact date and time. I'll change it if you think it's a major issue holding back the article, but I just wanted to see if there was some policy discussion on this. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:23, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sources need a lot of work. ~ Destroyeraa🌀 00:33, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Hurricanehink: Title case is "Hurricane Barry Kills One, Thirty Rescued from Rip Currents" instead of "Hurricane Barry kills one, thirty rescued from rip currents". I cannot pass unless title case is fixed. Also, Hurricanehink, about NCDC - the title needs to be as specific as possible. Titles such as "Tornado Event Report" or "Tropical Weather Outlook" are way too vague, and need to be specified. For example for NCDC: title=Event: Tornado in County, State [14:35 EDT-4] and for TWO: Two-Day Graphical Tropical Weather Outlook: 8:00 EST July 5, 2020. I cannot pass unless these are fixed too. ~ Destroyeraa🌀 16:26, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the title case. As for the TWO, I disagree. The date shouldn't be in the title because they are already in the date parameter. Further, this article doesn't use the graphical weather outlook. The refs are different because they have different authors. And as for NCDC, I added the county and state, but not the date, as the event and county is enough specifity. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:46, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Make sure all STWO and NCDC have dates. Also, make sure that everything is title cased. ~ Destroyeraa🌀 16:49, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Also Hurricanehink, I'm doing everything that Hurricane Noah has told me to do on Hurricane Barry (2019), including the title case thing and the GTWC and the NCDC adding dates things. Different reviewers have different styles, and some, like me, won't pass unless title case is fixed.~ Destroyeraa🌀 16:51, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I corrected title case for everything, but I won't be adding the dates to NCDC or the STWO's, as you haven't convinced me it's necessary through any official Wikipedia policy that it's needed for a GA. As I said before, I didn't use the graphical TWO. If you won't pass unless the dates are added, I'll seek a 2nd opinion. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:58, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Hurricanehink: What I mean is that make sure all NCDC and STWO have the |date= parameter. I will check when all is done. ~ Destroyeraa🌀 17:00, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

But the NCDC reports weren't published on the date that the event happened. They were published in 2020, which is listed. Everything else is done though. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:03, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@HurricaneTracker495: Already mentions it was a short-lived storm, and this is for the lede, where they only put a sentence for the disruption of the SpaceX launch. I like hurricanes 19:57, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Tropical Storm Bertha originated from a trough, or elongated low pressure area, that developed in the southeastern Gulf of Mexico on May 24. This is redundant. We know from the lede that it did.

 Done I like hurricanes 01:50, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Early on May 27, the system developed a well-defined center underneath an area of organized thunderstorms. The NHC estimated that the system developed into Tropical Storm Bertha at 06:00 UTC that day while located about 140 mi (225 km) east of Savannah, Georgia.[1] This was confirmed by an offshore buoy recording tropical storm-force winds.[5] Put the third sentence ("This was confirmed...") before the second sentence ("The NHC estimated...") since the source says it was before the system developed. Also, replace "this was confirmed" with "In addition,".

 Done I like hurricanes 01:50, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• After you're finished with the above, place this sentence: At 12:30 UTC, the NHC initiated advisories on Bertha in real time,[6] just after The NHC estimated that the system developed into Tropical Storm Bertha at 06:00 UTC that day while located about 140 mi (225 km) east of Savannah, Georgia.[1] and change "At 12:30 UTC, the NHC initiated advisories on Bertha in real time,[6]" to "Operationally, it was not until 12:30 UTC that the NHC had initiated advisories on Bertha.[6]"

This section needs expansion. I know there was some kind of impact in Pennsylvania, Ohio, maybe Kentucky and New Jersey. Canada possible too. @Hurricanehink and I like hurricanes: Try NCDC. ~ Destroyeraa🌀 16:53, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

NCDC didn't have anything that explicitly linked PA/OH/KY/NJ impacts to Bertha. The low dissipated over West Virginia into an approaching trough, and it would be a bit of a stretch linking those events to Bertha without any other sources. Ordinarily, there would be a rainfall map from the WPC, which I suspect will eventually come out, but given how busy the season was, it might take some time. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:37, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Hurricanehink: The are impacts. The reviewer should look for them, as I learned from Barry. NCDC isn't the only source. This section is way too small and I will not pass unless it's expanded. ~ Destroyeraa🌀 15:25, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What is the source for the statement The NHC estimated that the system developed into Tropical Storm Bertha at 06:00 UTC that day while located about 140 mi (225 km) east of Savannah, Georgia? The TCR is cited, but the report only states that formation occurred by 06:00 UTC May 27, when the system was very near the Georgia and South Carolina coasts and separately, in a table, gives the coordinates as 31.5°N 78.8°W.
