"The 1955 Atlantic hurricane season was, at the time, the costliest season ever recorded. The hurricane season officially began on June 15, and ended on November 15." switch the order of "season" and "hurricane season", but keep the wikilink.

Not sure what you are wanting me to do.--12george1 (talk) 01:39, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"The hurricane season officially began on June 15, and ended on November 15." I'd add years to be consistent with other seasons. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 01:05, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Move the timeline graph to the season summary section. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 01:05, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"season proper" what does this mean? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 01:05, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It means the actual season. In this context, it refers to how Alice developed in January, but the first storm during the season dates was Barbara.--12george1 (talk) 01:39, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Say something like "within the offical hurricane season bounds" . Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 02:58, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"due to unknown cause in the vicinity of Mobile, Alabama.[4]" why mention if it is unknown? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 01:05, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"although the rains from Connie contributed to flooding from Hurricane Diane that caused $700-800 million in damage.[4] " no need for the stuff after "that". Stuff like that IMO belongs in the season summary. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane

How about I just leave that damage figure out and say that flooding from Connie was a prelude to Diane?--12george1 (talk) 01:39, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"potentially as many as 200.[28]" I don't like this kind of speculation. The infobox in the awesome storm article says it was at least 184. IMO, this should be removed. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 01:05, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I earlier in that sentence I said "there were at least 184 deaths", so I'm not quite speculating.--12george1 (talk) 01:39, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Either way, IMO it is still redundant. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 02:58, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"A tropical wave developed into a tropical depression early on September 10, while located between Cape Verde and the Lesser Antilles.[4] " is it me or should the word "midway" be in here somehow. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane

"During its extratropical stage, a ship in the area reported an atmospheric pressure as low as 979 mbar (28.9 inHg).[4]" which ship? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 01:05, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The name of the ship is not specific in the source, which is the MWR.--12george1 (talk) 01:39, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why was 11 not named? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane

Unlike for TS One in 1965, I cannot find an explanation for that due to lack of access to advisories.--12george1 (talk) 01:39, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Any more info on Katie? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane

Nope, I checked for a while when I was re-writing this article and didn't come up with anything else worth adding.--12george1 (talk) 01:39, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Names that were not assigned are marked in gray." is this needed? It says it is unused below next to the actual name. I know this is in every season article though. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 01:05, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well-written:

(a) the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct; and

(b) it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.^[1]

Verifiable with no original research:

(a) it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline;

(b) reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose);^[2] and

(c) it contains no original research.

Broad in its coverage:

(a) it addresses the main aspects of the topic;^[3] and

(b) it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).

Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.

Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.

^[4]

Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:

^[5]

(a) media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content; and

(b) media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.^[6]

^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the Manual of Style mainpage, is not required for good articles.
^ Either parenthetical references or footnotes can be used for in-line citations, but not both in the same article.
^ This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
^ Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of constructive editing should be placed on hold.
^ Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
^ The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.
