    Pass/Fail:
I think the prose is nowhere near GA quality, I feel it's rough and choppy. There are many one-sentence paragraphs, the lead's too short, and there are to many sections I don't think this is the best title. It is also too US-centric, which probably results in poor written quality. I've given it wtf for stability, because I feel this is a poor title. Please work to make it more detailed and less US-centric and the other stuff should fall in place. Maxim(talk) 16:15, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
What do you man as in this isn't the best title? I think it was fine, but if you have a new suggestion, I'll move the page if you'd like. Cheers, Jonathan 03:09, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Comprehensiveness

I don't believe this is comprehensive. Right now, it largely deals with tropical cyclones. However, this article isn't on tropical cyclones in 2005; it's about the worldwide weather, which includes temperature, snowfall, tornadoes, rainfall events, etc. --♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:26, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Actually, for that reason, I'm failing its GA nomination. --♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:28, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
