Effects of Hurricane Isaac (2012) in Florida

(

)

~~... that Tropical Storm Isaac caused the worst flooding in some areas of Florida since Hurricane Irene in 1999?~~

Reviewed: Federalist Party (Philippines)

Sorry, this article is too old for DYK, as it was created August 29. On December 12, the article was ~13K characters. An expansion began on March 13, taking it to ~25K characters. Regrettably, a 5x expansion would be 65K characters. This article is already quite large, so I don't see it being able to reach a 5x expansion. This article was well-sourced as of December 12 and it's certainly not a BLP, so it can't qualify under a 2x expansion. Perhaps, this can be nominated as a good article instead.

- But it was a sandbox and did not get published to mainspace until March 15.--12george1 (talk) 23:59, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
  - You are correct, my apologies! OCNative (talk) 00:10, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Article meets the requirements for size, creation date (due to the movement from userspace). Citations are good. I'm surprised this one isn't already nominated for GA. :) Good to go. Miyagawa (talk) 13:44, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

While I agree that the article is new enough with a March 15 date, that it's far beyond the 1,500-character requirement at 25,000 characters, and that it's certainly well-sourced, the self-nominator has more than 5 DYK credits, so he will need to review another DYK nomination, per the review requirement. Also, the hook (and the Hurricane Irene sentence in the Palm Beach County section of the article) needs revision, as the only citation supporting it states, "[Indian Trail Improvement District President] Damone says she hasn't seen flooding like this in The Acreage since Hurricane Irene in 1999." Perhaps, a USCG condition whiskey hook, an RNC-centered hook, or an orange juice hook would work. OCNative (talk) 19:13, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Actually, I wanna ditch the flooding for an RNC hook. How would I do that? Do I simply edit the hook above or re-nominate the article?--12george1 (talk) 14:54, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Neither: you post an ALT1 hook below. (Give it its own line; start with ALT1: ... that). I've just struck the original hook so no one uses it by mistake. If you have a couple of ideas, post them as ALT1 and ALT2 on separate lines. No limit to the number of ALTs, really, but too many gets to be confusing. It's always good to leave earlier versions of hooks intact, so people can follow what happened during the nomination process. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:39, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Alt1: ... that the effects of Hurricane Isaac in Florida forced the cancellation of the first day of the 2012 Republican National Convention? --12george1 (talk) 22:03, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

I've added the necessary bolding to Alt1: the link to the article has to be bolded for DYK hooks. (I also made "effects" lowercase.) BlueMoonset (talk) 02:37, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

12george1, you still need to supply a quid pro quo (QPQ) review of another article and hook; once that's been done, we can ask for a reviewer to finish the review of this one. Please let us know! Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:28, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

That alt satisfies my concerns above and is adequately sourced. However, as BlueMoonset and I each pointed out 12george1 must still do a review of another DYK nomination. (If one has been done, 12george1 should indicate here which nomination he reviewed.) Once that is done, this nomination with be good to go. OCNative (talk) 19:27, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

I reviewed Federalist Party (Philippines) almost a week ago.--12george1 (talk) 20:02, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

12george1 has reviewed an article as per QPQ so based on the feedback from the above reviewers this is good to go. -- Esemono (talk) 06:04, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
