More outside of HURDAT. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:44, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is no MWR. I removed the infoboxes, and thus I feel it is close to C class.YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}

Still needs more than just HURDAT. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:11, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a little more, 4 of the 6 refs are non-HURDAT, and two of the refs are non-NOAA. What else is need for this season to become a GA? YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 02:57, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

More non-HURDAT info for the storms other than the Texas hurricane. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:00, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've added some non-Texas refs. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}

Any more? Only TS 3 has it. Also, watch out, you added a typo. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:33, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing else (no CPHC storms), and fixed the typo. Anything else it needs prior to GAN?YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 03:43, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Check for Spanish sources. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:44, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Found no Spanish sources, but added a non-NHC ref to the season summary section. Anything else needed prior to GAN? YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 03:58, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• "Six known tropical cyclones occurred during the season, the earliest formed on June 11 and the latest dissipated on September 30." - can you reword it to something like "Six tropical cyclones were known to have existed during the season, of which the first formed on June 11 and the final formed on September 30"?
  • Added your suggestion. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 19:41, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• "...which was nearly 100 years after records in the Atlantic Ocean began." Remove that, trivial and irrelevant to the season itself - previous stuff was fine
  • Meh, removed. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 19:41, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• "Ths season was also beginning" - I think you mean "This season was also the beginning"
  • Yeah. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}
• "...the Pacific Decadal Oscillation,[3]" - where's the rest of the text?
  • Err, suppost to be a period. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}
• "1949-2006" - use an en dash (–)
  • Added. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}
• "Most of the seven tropical cyclones did not differentiate in intensity during the duration[4]," - put the ref after the comma*"While remaining far west of the Mexican coast, Two peaked as a mid-level tropical storm." - any specific info? (like HURDAT winds or pressures?)
  • No pressure, winds have been added.YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}
• "After no tropical cyclone activity in July and August" - Why not "After inactivity in July and August"?
  • Inactivity could suggest that TC's did form (i.e. the 1964 Pacific hurricane season was inactive), but my wording does not. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 19:41, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• "By September 8, Tropical Storm Three" - should be "on", not "by", as "by" sort of implies that it ended or started an event
  • Okay. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 19:41, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• "The outer rainbands of this system was expected to bring squally weather" - should be "were", not "was"
  • Good catch. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}
• "The first hurricane of the season developed on September 9. Hurricane Four formed 160 mi (260 km) east-southeast of Socorro Island" - merge sentences if possible, with more content from the next sentence ("tied Hurricane Six...")
  • Combined. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 19:41, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• "the storm was discovered as a minimal tropical storm, and did not further intensify. Failing to intensify past a minimal tropical storm, the system" - you use "intensify" just a few words later
  • • Removed redundancy. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 19:41, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• "The storm began to intensify while inland over Guatemala" - don't use "inland" again; maybe "overland"?
  • Why not inland? overland could suggest the tropical storm was near the moon. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 19:41, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Refs: Spell Los Angeles correctly
  •  Done. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 19:41, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Use consistent date formats
  • They should be consistent, the HURDAT ones are not actionable since they are templates.YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 19:41, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
