Will actually do the review when I'm on a better computer (around 4-5 hours from now) Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 16:38, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article looks great! I just saw a couple minor things that could be fixed.

Why does your first reference show up as "nb 1"?

It is actually a note and not a reference--12george1 (talk) 20:19, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- OK, I found it to be kind of awkward. Maybe it would be less awkward if you either put a simple explanation in parentheses (e.g. "it re-strengthened into a major hurricane (above Category 3) on September 28) or just linked to the relevant section of Saffir-Simpson scale.

Do you need to put "SST's" in parentheses? If you do, then it should be "SSTs" because it's a plural.

"it restrengthen into a major hurricane" should be "it restrengthened into a major hurricane"

"very cold could tops", did you mean "cloud tops"?

Throughout the article, I would find it helpful to have more wikilinks. I don't have a background in meteorology, so when you're using the terminology (which is great), I have to look all sorts of things up, and I think the average reader would have to do the same.

Can you name any specific terms you would like wikilinked?--12george1 (talk) 20:19, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Stuff like "convection", "wind shear", "tropospheric", "anticyclone", etc. Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 04:24, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Did the UK do anything to prepare for the storm? If so, that would be useful information.

Probably not. Usually locations do not prepare for a storm if it is already extratropical.--12george1 (talk) 20:19, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Then that's all good. :) Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 04:24, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is quite well sourced. Nice job!

I'll keep an eye on this page, and can't wait to see it get promoted! :) You did excellent work here. Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 15:19, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

One more thing I noticed: in the last sentence, you don't need to say "a bird called the" about the blue-winged warbler. It would be way less clunky if you said something like "After Isaac passed the British Isles, a Blue-winged Warbler was seen for the first time in Europe."

Fixed this, too--12george1 (talk) 17:52, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Then in that case, I have no qualms about promoting this. :) Keilana|^{Parlez ici} 18:06, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
