[edit] Todo

I put it at start class, but it could be enough for B class. More anything is needed, especially impact. Rainfall totals would be nice... very nice. Hurricanehink 13:55, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Added rainfall total at the airport (TCR source). Nilfanion 14:13, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

As with Franklin, the WMO report will probably allow expansion of the impact section.--Nilfanion 14:52, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA issues

Some issues relating to this article's GA nomination:

  • The article is in need of some copyediting. Punctuation, in particular, is an issue. But sentences like Tropical Storm Harvey formed out from a tropical wave to the southwest of Bermuda on August 2 and passed close to Bermuda on August 4, bring heavy rain to the island don't look good either. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style for more advice.
  • Per WP:DATE, partial dates (just a year or just a day) should generally not be linked unless in doing so, context is added to the article. It seems every instance of a day or year (not counting full dates) is linked. It is this editor's opinion that they should not be, but this is not a hard rule.
  • The lead says that the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season was busy - how so?
  • Using the phrase "Tropical Storm Harvey" so many times makes the prose seem stilted. Try to mix it up with appropriate substitutes (Harvey, the storm, etc.).

Other reviewers may want to add to this, but the above list is all I have for now. --cholmes75 (chit chat) 01:28, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

I've given it a copyedit and have addressed these issues, reducing the use of TS Harvey, clarifying the season was a record-breaker and addressing the copyedit stuff. However the dates were correct beforehand, if it contains a month and a day, August 7 for example, it should be wikilinked to allow users date preferences to work.--Nilfanion (talk) 10:34, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
GA passed, as the needed requirements were met and the concerns were addressed. Lincher 23:50, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
