There is no official name for this storm in HURDAT. It is just NOT NAMED. Unless you can find a name the media pinned on this system, that segment should be removed from the lead, and other places in this article where it might reside. Thegreatdr (talk) 01:37, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Removed the "Hurricane Four" bit Cyclonebiskit (talk) 01:47, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

=) You've done what you can by mentioning it was the fourth storm of gale force. Thegreatdr (talk) 13:57, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lede

• "...the storm further strengthened into a hurricane before striking central Florida on December 1." - Wikilink "Florida"
  • Done Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:20, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• "On December 5, the system is believed to have dissipated offshore." - Sounds like a personally opinion, like someone said "I believe that the system dissipated on December 5". You should probably revise to something like this: "On December 5, the system was presumed to have dissipated offshore."
  • Done Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:20, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• "Property damage amounted to $3 million, $1 million of which was in Jacksonville." - Add inflation templates to $3 million and $1 million
  • Done Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:20, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Meteorological history

• "The 1925 Florida hurricane was first identified on November 27, 1925 as a tropical depression situated to the southeast of the Yucatán Peninsula, nearly a month after the official end of the hurricane season." - First, erase "1925", since it would be obvious that this system formed in 1925. On the second part of this sentence, I don't think that a hurricane season in 1925 was June 1 - November 30, and BTW, November 27 is actually three days before the official end of hurricane season, and not "nearly a month" later. \
  • The 1925 has to be there as a formality (MOS) and at the time, hurricane season ended in October, not November :) Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:20, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• In the first paragraph, delink "Cuba" and "landfall", since they are already linked in the lede.
  • Links go by section rather than the entire article from what I've gathered. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:20, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Impact

• "...only 0.22 in (5.58 mm) of rain fell in the city." - Wikilink inches and millimetres
  • Done Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:20, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Add inflation templates to the following money values under the first paragraph of United States: $200,000, $3 million, $1 million, $600,000, and $250,000.
  • Done Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:20, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• In that same paragraph, delink "Jacksonville"
  • No reason to (reason in earlier response) Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:20, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• "A ship named the American SS Catopazi sank between Charleston, South Carolina and the northern coast of Cuba, with all 30 crew members lost." - Do you mean sank while sailing between Charleston, South Carolina and the northern coast of Cuba, because it sounds like it could have sank over Florida.
  • Unless you're thinking the ship was sailing over land, it's assumed to be over water. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:20, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• In the last paragraph, delink "Cape Hatteras"
  • No reason to delink it Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:20, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

References

• On reference #2, the date is incorrect, it reads 1993, but it should say January 21, 2010.
  • It was changed after a wrote the article and implemented that reference. Updated it though. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:20, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• On reference #6, the accessdate reads "January 2, 1925", do you mean January 2, 2011?
  • Whoops, fixed it. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:20, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Most references that are written by Associated Press say "The Associated Press", which is not the correct name.
  • Good catch, thanks. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:20, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A recent NHC document says the following:

"Note that a previously analyzed hurricane landfall on December 1, 1925 near Tampa, Florida has been recently re-analyzed to be a tropical storm landfall."

Unless anyone thinks we should wait for another reanalysis, I think it should be removed. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:06, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
