Lead

[edit]
  • "The 1865 Atlantic hurricane season included two landfalling hurricanes, with one that caused over 325 deaths." - I'm not sure this is really the best way to start off the article. I personally think a more generalized statement about the season would be better in this instance. A statement about how many storms total formed, and where this stacks up with other Atlantic seasons would be more on par with other season articles in this time range.
  • There is a lack of internal links in the lead, especially with the many geographic locations you have referenced. One internal link within the entire section is not enough.

Tropical Storm One

[edit]
  • Reading the source, it would seem you could elaborate a little bit more on this incident. It might also help to include the ship's name as well.

Tropical Storm Three

[edit]
  • "On August 22 the storm made its closest approach to the state, producing winds of around 45 mph (72 km/h) along the coast. Around that time, the storm attained peak winds of 70 mph (120 km/h)." - These two statements contradict each other, how can the storm be producing 45 mph winds while also attaining winds of 70 mph. I assume the 70mph winds were farther out at sea, so if that is the case it needs to be clarified.

Hurricane 4

Hurricane 7

Given the age of this topic, this is an exceptional article. I would like to see the 8 changes mentioned above made before I can pass this though. Will check back tomorrow. -Marcusmax(speak) 00:51, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yay, thanks. I believe they were all addressed. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:21, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
