It needs at least a one sentence description of every storm to be a start.--Nilfanion (talk) 22:27, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'll be reviewing this article against the GA criteria. Comments, questions, and suggestions as I go along...

The rest of the storms need surface maps, where possible – see here. They might not always be impressive, but they're better than nothing.
In the infobox, I would replace "Homestead" with "Nine" for the name of the strongest storm. Out of its context, Homestead is just a place name.
added a decade following the end of the season. - why not simply "a decade later"?
two further attained their peak as major hurricanes. - "peak" → "peaks"
Remove "subsequent".
most consequential sounds like a made-up way to glorify a storm that doesn't actually fit any real superlatives. This is also unsourced.
damages → "damage" in all instances.
moved ashore Belize - missing a preposition.
economic damages - We've been over the "economic" thing before... ;)
If damage "topped" – that is, exceeded – $82.85 million, I see no reason to go to four sigfigs.
reconnaissance plane needs some kind of link
southern shores of Iceland - eh, looks more like the western shores to me. I'd suggest "near Iceland".
Two tornadoes were spawned. - any damage specifically from the tornadoes?
at least 10,000 telephone lines were downed by the storm - where? Across the entirety of New England?
- Si. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 20:19, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
tropical wave needs a link.
What is a pilot balloon?
I'm not sure that "storm harbors" are a thing separate from regular harbors.
just shy of its originally-assessed hurricane intensity. - this needs a footnote or an inline explanation of the HURDAT reanalysis or something for the casual reader's understanding.
north of ~~the coastline of~~ Cuba
Suggest "harbored" → "possessed".
communications between the city and nearby Tampa were slowed. Unclear how flooding can slow communications but not sever them.
On heels of Tropical Storm Six - missing word.
crossed western coastline of Cuba - again.
Why are some place names linked but others not (like Punta de Cartas, Leeward Islands, Turks and Caicos)
Worth noting Long Island is in the Bahamas and not the T&C.
Approximately 1,632 - too specific to be approximate.
Naval Air Station Richmond suffered catastrophic losses, where high winds - dangling modifier.
The Cape Fear River crested at its highest point on record - does this record still stand? Also, "level" more accurate than "point".
- It does still stand. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 20:19, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The cyclone was direct west-southwest - grammar (also, directed by what?)
stationary front needs a link.
The final Atlantic hurricane of 1945 was not known to have existed until over a decade following the end of the season. - In the broadest way of thinking, the storm's 200+ causalities contradict the fact that nobody knew the hurricane happened. People knew about the storm; it just wasn't listed in the database.
Due to the hurricane's small size - I don't believe the size was mentioned prior to this. Got any RMW estimates or similar?
- Nope, just described as a very small storm. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 20:19, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
What is Sierra de Jatibonico?
- Mountain range. No link. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 20:19, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
a number of privately-owned buildings - does it matter that they were privately owned? Could we presume to just say "homes"?
winds topped 70–90 mph (113–145 km/h) - did winds top (exceed) the entire range, meaning more than 90 mph? If so, why not just say "topped 90 mph"?
Maybe pipe "temperature gradient" to baroclinicity.
The storm moved ashore the northern coastline of Mexico - missing preposition.
Links needed: trough, gale force, subtropical cyclone, warm sector, cold front
Why the one usage of {{open access}} amidst a sea of {{free access}}?

Otherwise, the writing is mostly strong and I see no major omissions in the content for the purposes of a seasonal summary. On-hold for now. – Juliancolton | ^Talk 17:44, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Think I've addressed most of your concerns. Thanks for the review! TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 20:19, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Looks great. I'm satisfied now that the article meets the GA criteria. Nice work and congrats. – Juliancolton | ^Talk 21:01, 7 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
