[edit] Assessment

Extremely close to B-class. However, the TDs need their own sections, with infoboxes. If the intensity was unknown, you can say that in the infobox/paragraph unless you're able to find out the information. --Coredesat 20:10, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

I got the e-mail, no info outside the four storms.Mitchazenia 20:39, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
I'm holding off any further assessment pending a reply to an e-mail I sent the NHC about TD6 - it's the missing system in the various archives. --Coredesat 01:40, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
I set at B class. I'd still like to see a better opening sentence, perhaps, The 1983 Atlantic hurricane season was the least active Atlantic hurricane season in 53 years, which could then cite hurdat. Also, be sure units are similar. Chantal in particular isn't good. Ref similarity is needed. The ref should come just after the . in the sentence, as well.

[edit] GA Pass

  • Well-written - Pass. Just one typo, which I fixed. In some places prose could be better, but all in all pretty good.
  • Factually accurate - Pass. I noticed a few places which could use sources, though I know they are true. First, "ending what was (as of the 2006 season) the longest such gap recorded." Hurdat would suffice, or, ideally, find a NOAA document saying it. Second, "The first storm formed on August 15 which, on average, is a late start." Citing the NHC climatology page works.
  • Broad in coverage - Pass. One recommendation I have is merging the depressions section. There is a lot of blank space as it is. You can just copy over the prose, and include one image. No infobox is needed, as pressure data is unavailable and the section title would clearly say tropical depressions.
  • Non-Pov - Pass
  • Stable - Pass
  • Images - Pass, though maybe try bugging Nilfanion or someone else with a track map generator to get a better track map image for the infobox.

Good job Mitchazenia and Coredesat. Hurricanehink (talk) 20:17, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
