I can't think of a clever nomination statement... –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 16:49, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- "The List of Maryland..." - firstly no need to capitalise the L and secondly, can we start it more imaginatively?
- Also, could you consider writing "1950–1979" out as "between 1950 and 1979"?
- Done with both. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 17:59, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "classification of these storms" -which storms?
- Removed "these". –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 17:59, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "while tropical storms and tropical depressions are generally weaker. " - interesting but is it relevant to this list of hurricanes?
- When I had another very similar article up for FLC (List of Maryland and Washington, D.C. hurricanes (1980–present), I was told I needed to clarify that. I'll remove it if you feel it's needed, though. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 17:59, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Are cyclones and hurricanes synonymous here? I'm not sure so it could use a clarification.
- Note added. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 17:59, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "Agnes was also the deadliest storm..." - presume you mean costliest this time round?
- Whoops, got it. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 17:59, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "caused sustained hurricane force winds " - I'm not clear on the differentiation between a hurricane (of which you say there were 29) and a storm with "sustained hurricane force winds" of which you say there are two. I think this needs help for the layman (i.e me!)
- I'm not sure how I would explain it. Several storms that were once hurricanes affected the state, though only two actually caused hurricane-force winds. Any suggestions? –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 17:59, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- There's a lot of jargon-hopping in the lead - hurricane, storm, cyclone, tropical storm, tropical cyclone... it could do with being rationalised or, at least, some guidance that all are synonymous.
- I added a note. Let me know if it's any better. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 17:59, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Lead image ought not have the thumb size forced.
- I wasn't sure about this, as MOS:IMAGES says, Examples of images which typically need more than the default size include lead images (see above) and detailed maps.
- "fourth was injured [4]" - missing full stop.
- "The heavy flooding leads to severe flooding " - really?
- Camille's map caption should have no full stop. And it's probably worth moving it up to the top of the section as it "leaks" into the following section.
- "As well, 17 farm buildings were ..." - no keen on starting a sentence with "As well..."
- Done with all of those. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 17:59, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- What makes the following sources reliable?
- Otherwise sources look okay. Links checked out with the link checker tool. Ealdgyth - Talk 14:15, 27 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry for the delay, I forgot to watchlist this. Anyway, the first site is a website that copies information from a book, so I expect that makes it at least somewhat reliable. And the second is an extension of Yahoo. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 20:39, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
