Nice article, but I have a few comments.

• The lead should be expanded
  • Better? --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:59, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
    • Yes. YE ^{Tropical Cyclone} 03:04, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
• A minor copyedit might be useful on the last paragraph of the MH as such words as "disorganization" do not flow well IMO.
  • OK, I think I smoothed it out a bit. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:59, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
    • Good job. YE ^{Tropical Cyclone} 03:04, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
• In the beginning of the preps/impact section "Tropical storm warnings" shoud link to the watches and warnings article.
  • Whoops, k. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:59, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
• Any actual rainfall reports in Belize?
  • I really tried, but I couldn't find any. Nothing in RW, media reports, and sadly Belize doesn't have a WMO report. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:59, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
• "Winds from Arthur forced the closure of two of Mexico's three main oil exporting ports in the Gulf of Mexico due to rough seas" which ports?
  • The source didn't say, and I couldn't find anywhere else. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:59, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
• At the end of the third paragraph in the impact section, "Additionally, the government rushed food, water and clothing to around 13,000 people" the "to around" part makes no sense.
  • Oh, I changed "around" to "about". It's not exactly 13,000 people... --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:59, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
• Ok
• "Arthur was the first tropical storm to form in May in the Atlantic since Tropical Storm Arlene in 1981. Since then other storms have formed in May, such as Andrea in 2007, but were subtropical. The formation of Arthur also marks the first time since 1934 that a tropical or subtropical storm formed in May for two consecutive years, and the first time ever that a named storm formed in May formed for two consecutive years.[1]" trivia, should be avoided, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia.

  • Well, what part of that do you think is trivia? IMO, it's not so much trivial, so much as explaining the record it set. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:59, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
• The last sentence is mainly trivial.
  • Yea, good call. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:10, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the review! --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:59, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
