More info on each storm. Charlie only has about 2 sentences...it has more in the intro than in the charlie section...which is just wrong. Jdorje 01:45, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of 1951 Atlantic hurricane season's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Hi, nice article but I have a few comments.

• A season summary is missing
  • I don't feel a need for a season summary, as I put that info in the lede. Otherwise, there wouldn't be enough for the lede that is different. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:17, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • I agree with you, there is no need for a season summary, just asked because it was project standard.
• The storm turned to the south, and Hurricane Hunters reported Able strengthened to hurricane status on May 17 off the coast of Florida .[4] The word "that" is missing before "Able"
  • True. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:17, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Any other info for Baker?
  • Nope, that's all I could find for Baker (don't forget, it was a fish storm before satellite imagery). --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:17, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• "Around the same time as Easy was forming, a new tropical depression developed in the far eastern Atlantic Ocean. Moving generally westward, it passed south of the Cape Verde islands, strengthening into Tropical Storm Fox on September 4; by that time, its motion turned to the west-northwest." split up sentence please, way too many words there IMO.
  • Which one has too many words? You have two sentences. In the latter one, I could split it where the semicolon is, but I feel the info on its direction should be tied to when it became a TS. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:17, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• "Overall, Hurricane How caused about $2 million (USD) in damage" Year? 2010? 1951? 2011?
  • Added auto-updating inflation. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:17, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Any other info for George?
  • I had trouble finding that much that's there. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:17, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• "The next day it weakened below tropical storm force before dissipating about 230 mi (370 km) south of Bermuda" I'd change "force" to "status".
  • Ehh, I use status a lot, so I like switching up the wording. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:17, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's it for now, at least. YE ^{Tropical Cyclone} 00:08, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thx for the review! --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:17, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have a few more comments

• "On October 17, Item struck western Cuba, and later that day dissipated in the southeastern Gulf of Mexico" IMO, an "it" is missing from that sentence"
  • No, no it is needed. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:03, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• "On September 10, Fox became extratropical between the Azores and Greenland in the far north Atlantic. It turned toward the north and dissipated on September 11 off the southwest coast of Iceland. Although a few ships were affected by the hurricane's winds, there were no reports of any damage." The Azores, Greenland, and Iceland should be wikilinked.
  • Fair enough. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:03, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Hundreds of people were killed in the Mexican mainland, and across Charlie's entire path, damage was estimated at over $75 million (1951 USD, $634 million)." why is $634 million in parenthesis? If I were you, I'd put 2011 USD next to the $634 million

• Got it, thx. I'm still having some trouble with the auto-inflate. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:03, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

One you address/reply to these, I am passing the article YE ^{Tropical Cyclone} 00:57, 11 January 2011 (UTC) Passed. YE ^{Tropical Cyclone}[reply]

The timeline mentions tropical depressions which the article does not. I would imagine if this article were ever go through a FAC that this issue would be easily raised, and appropriately so. We should have an "Other storms" section like in other AHS articles to deal with the TDs. It does not have to be significantly long, I would imagine, unless they caused significant damage. Thegreatdr (talk) 05:34, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Where did those TD's come from? I didn't put them in when I did the article. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:54, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
