Umm, the "first time human names had been used to name storms". That's blatantly not true, for example there was a Hurricane George in 1951. Yes that George was named for the word for G in the phonetic alphabet, not the human name directly. Plus of course naming of tropical cyclones started in 1945 (or earlier?) in the West Pacific. That sentence in the intro needs a rephrase.--Nilfanion (talk) 23:34, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Based on the information at Hurricanehink's rewrite of List of Atlantic hurricane seasons, this season has the fewest deaths in the period since 1950 (excluding this season). If this good sort of record is true, it should certainly be mentioned here, although I am not sure if a simple means to verify/cite this exists.

In a analysis of 1944-1953 says that Hurricane Carol peaked 140 kts (160 mph) making an Category 5 hurricane

That reanalysis is unofficial. It was someone's dissertation, albeit highly well-done. As it hasn't been approved by HURDAT (and likely won't be done for another 2 years), we can't change Carol's status. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:20, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings. I'll review this article. Here's what I see as issues so far, without a detailed reviewing the text:

• No timeline. One should be made.
• Reference 25 isn't what the article claims it to be. Either correct the citation, delink the reference, or find the proper website.
• Reference 26 goes to a blank page. Either delink the reference or find the proper website. I have the book at home, so I'll check out whether the fact referenced is on that page.
• For Barbara, since the rainfall graphics have now been made, it would be best to include the maximum amount, which occured in Virginia, rather than an unofficial total in North Carolina.
• Tropical wave is wikilinked far too often. First occurrence is all that is required. Thegreatdr (talk) 22:11, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• In the first line of Dolly, where did the flooding occur?

After one good pass of the text, that's all I found. I corrected a number of small wikilink/convert template/non-breaking space/date issues as I went along. Reviewer: Thegreatdr (talk) 21:38, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, thanks for the review and copyedit. OK, timeline made. I'm not sure what you mean about Ref 25. I got it from Google books, and did a {{Cite book}} on it. It has the correct author, title, publisher, the year it was released, the url, etc. Ref #26 is tricky... I opted to reference the original reference that the website got it from. Is that OK? I took care of Barbara, TW, and Dolly. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:38, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ref 25 is now ref 28. It's the Killian reference, which is neither authored by anyone named Killian nor does it have any info on Florence. I'll check out the TW wikilinks,. Thegreatdr (talk) 22:42, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Check page 201 of 408. It says "REPORTS AND PUBLICATIONS: Killian, Lewis M. 1954 Evacuation of Panama City before 'Hurricane Florence'." ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:45, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. There was information buried in that document then. It must not list chronologically. Credit page D9 in your reference. Even though it is referencing another document, I'm fairly sure you have to put the title of this document, and its author and pub info, into that reference. Unless you can find a copy of the Killian reference somewhere online, that is. Thegreatdr (talk) 23:10, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I mean, just that none of the content actually came from the author. But, that said, the same thing happens with journal papers. So I changed it. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 23:23, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Very good. I'm satisfied with the changes and will pass the article. Good work! Thegreatdr (talk) 23:25, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
