== Updating and expanding reconstruction bits ==
I mentioned some things on the talk page a while ago (October 2006) and got no response. Have a look at the ] of the latest archive (Archive 7) for talk page stuff that never got dealt with. Does anyone here want to take on brushing up a featured article so that it maintains its high standards, instead of degrading over time and looking like it was written about intensively at the time but not maintained since? Said in the nicest possible way, of course. :-) ] 04:47, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
:OK, the above is a copy of what I wrote elsewhere. Some of it has already been dealt with (thanks Titoxd!). Can anyone copy out the link from the archive and talk here about what else can be done? ] 04:47, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Does anyone mind if I copy and paste certain parts of the Katrina related articles onto wikibooks. It would only be temporary though, and I'd start rewriting stuff some, or enough. Anyone can help if they want to. Jeez, all the Katrina articles together is practically long enough for a decent sized book. I wonder... íslenskurfellibylur#12(samtal)02:55, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
Well, I'm part of wikibooks, and I think it should be on there. So, doesn't that mean they (we) want it? Pluz, I think it should definetly be needed, as it's very important. íslenskurfellibylur#12(samtal)01:34, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Maybe a separate site Katrina Wiki is in order, being such a dramatic topic? (Although I have no idea how to do such) CrazyC8301:22, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
http://hurricanes.wikia.com never got off the ground, so it isn't that good of an idea. Again, I don't object to it being hosted there if Wikibooks wants it, but I still recommend a transwiki, for WP:GFDL purposes, since this page has about 13,000 revisions. Titoxd01:26, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
<sob, scream, wail> "Does anyone mind if I copy and paste..." - the GFDL is dead, dead I tell you! Transwiki works now. Please, anyone working at wikibooks who is reading this, please don't ever copy and paste. <deep calming breath> Sorry for screaming and wailing there, but there is a reason for all this page history, you know! :-) Carcharoth04:43, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Death toll inconsistencies
Hey, like to note that there are two seperate death toll numbers presented in the article; 1836 and 1833. Perhapes choosing the mor elikely and including a note on the unknown qualities would be a good idea.
We have the number that includes inland deaths (verified by the HPC but not the NHC), so they are conflicting. 1,836+ is the best number IMO, with a plus sign as it is possible that there were more that they still haven't confirmed links to Katrina. CrazyC8302:54, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
I mentioned some things on the talk page a while ago (October 2006) and got no response. Have a look at the last three sections of the latest archive (Archive 7) for talk page stuff that never got dealt with. Does anyone here want to take on brushing up a featured article so that it maintains its high standards, instead of degrading over time and looking like it was written about intensively at the time but not maintained since?
