Third time's the charm? I believe all actionable concerns from the previous FLC have been addressed. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 02:14, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support, all my concerns were addressed in the previous nomination. Dabomb87 (talk) 15:02, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose A very misleading title that should be changed. The current title leads me to believe that there were actually hurricanes in Maryland. I know it's not true because No storms made landfall in Maryland at hurricane intensity. The title should describe what the list is about.--Crzycheetah 04:33, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- What would be a better title? We shouldn't call them "tropical cyclones", since that is the name for a 64+ kt cyclone in the Indian Ocean. Also, "hurricane" is a term that is recognized by HURDAT, the Climate Prediction Center, NOAA, Colorado State University, even though technically, tropical storms and depressions are included. So does that mean we as an encyclopedia should contradict the US Federal Government? –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 13:44, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- This list is about how hurricanes affected the state of Maryland. It cannot possibly list "Maryland hurricanes", since there are no "Maryland hurricanes". List of hurricane damages in the state of Maryland, List of Maryland damages created by hurricanes, or just simply List of hurricanes affected the state of Maryland is a better description of this list than the current title.--Crzycheetah 07:20, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- With all due respect, those titles are unnecessarily long, confusing, and poor. If you don't agree with the title, that's fine, but I cannot violate project standards by changing it. Juliancolton Public (talk) 00:13, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- It's better to have a long title than a wrong title.--Crzycheetah 03:53, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, "List of Maryland hurricanes" is the correct title. Per WP:V, The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth—that is, whether readers are able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether we think it is true. Therefore, we have to follow the terms used by reliable sources (NOAA, CSU, HURDAT), not what we believe is correct. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 17:46, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note: The nominator is currently on a wikibreak, so odds are that any concerns posted will not be addressed. Unless somebody agrees to take over, it will be removed on Saturday. -- Scorpion0422 15:46, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I'll check in every now and then to address any issues. Juliancolton Public (talk) 00:13, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
