Talk:Many in Texas still reeling following hurricane Harvey

  • 8/25/17 @2:33pm The UT thing......there is a banner at the top of the main page for UT Tyler (don't know how long it'll be there) that discusses that (every time I try to cut/paste, it vanishes). --Bddpaux (talk) 19:40, 25 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • 8/25/17 @2:36pm I like to keep my place of work private, but I was talking with a supervisor today (Public Health agency) and he mentioned he's gathering names of our staff who're willing to go south to help with any fallout. --Bddpaux (talk) 19:42, 25 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Title edit

Should "hurricane" be capitalised in the title and lede? I don't think I've seen it lowercase; I've seen "Hurricane Harvey" being used in most places. -- numbermaniac 07:40, 29 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Probably it should be, yes. We don't really like to rename an article after publication, as this can produce duplicate entries in some feeds. Perhaps this detail is minor enough to wait until after the article is archived (i.e., removed from the main page, and feeds)? --Pi zero (talk) 10:17, 29 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
But why? Hurricane is not a proper name.

Similar to titles of people; per WN:SG#People's titles in general,
Governor Jane Smith of Milliana
Jane Smith, governor of Milliana
Likewise,
Hurricane Harvey
Harvey, a hurricane

post archive rename => "United States: Many in Texas still reeling following hurricane Harvey" edit

{{moveprotected}} We need to mention where Texas is located.

My inclination is to let it stand as-is. As I recall we've often named Texas alone in the headline and clarified the country in the lede; here alas we don't name the country in the lede either, but imperfect though that may be, I don't see it as {{correction}}-worthy. --Pi zero (talk) 07:04, 15 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
