Will do. -- Java Hurricane 15:57, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm currently a bit busy. I've read through the article, and have found a few errors; otherwise, the article is pretty much a GA already. Will post my concerns shortly. Excellent work Noah! Java Hurricane 07:05, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Here we go...

Link to TCR in opening paragraph about "unusually small".

I did say that the storm was small in the met so it isnt necessary to cite in the lead. Noah^Talk 16:37, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hurricane Noah, Okay Java Hurricane 16:38, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Link to Hidalgos in second paragraph of lead links to "Hidalgo", not the Mexican state.

Fixed. Noah^Talk 16:37, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"The storm left a total of 16 people dead throughout 2 states; 13 died in Oaxaca and 3 in Veracruz." I think you should replace the semicolon with a colon and remove the "died".

Did this. Noah^Talk 16:37, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"The National Hurricane Center (NHC) first mentioned the system had the potential for tropical development early on October 19." Rephrase as "The NHC first began to monitor the system for potential..."

As mentioned by others in the past, that would be construed as OR because the NHC did begin monitoring it much earlier. Noah^Talk 16:37, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hurricane Noah, ah, I forgot that. Java Hurricane 16:38, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And that's it. An excellently written article, and I think we can look forward to a FAC in the near future. Good job Noah! Keeping On hold until the issues are resolved. -- Java Hurricane 16:28, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@JavaHurricane: Should be it. Noah^Talk 16:37, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hurricane Noah, I think we are done here.

now, passed. Congratulations! Java Hurricane 16:39, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Though or ridge?

"...A deep-layer [[Trough (meteorology)|ridge]] located over the [[Gulf of Mexico]] and central Mexico..."

Anychance this is just a typo?--Jarodalien (talk) 10:33, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Originated from a tropical wave" in the first paragraph

This seems misleading; the first time I read it, I assumed it meant a literal wave (made of water), but from the link, it seems to just mean a moving area of low air pressure. Maybe "tropical atmospheric wave" would work? Anyone who doesn't hover over that term will probably get it wrong. Mrfoogles (talk) 04:55, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
