I'll be taking on this review in the next few days Secret ^account 21:54, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

• Do you know why the storm was called the "1815 North Carolina hurricane", any official sources that uses that name?

• Generic title. Cloudchased (talk) 01:36, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

• " First detected far eastward of the Lesser Antilles on 26 August...." I don't think "far" is needed.

• Fixy. Cloudchased (talk) 01:36, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

• "with other portions of the northwestern extremities of the Leeward Islands noting the storm as well." - did it cause any damage there, also the words "extremeities of the" is redundant as Saint Barthélemy is pretty much the most northwestern of the 15 or so island chain.

• Ding. Cloudchased (talk) 01:36, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

• Do we know the estimated wind-field of this storm outside of being "a hurricane"?

• I would have said so if there was; alas, no. Cloudchased (talk) 01:36, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

• I don't think "within the vicinity of the Raccoon Keys" is needed, Cape Romain does have a wikilink

• The Raccoon Keys no longer exist, so I decided to note them, since the article on Cape Romain doesn't mention them. Cloudchased (talk) 01:36, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

• " Massive waves began to cause" began to cause < caused

• Errr, yea. Cloudchased (talk) 01:36, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

• How can a gristmill be "lifted" - reword

• Um, it drifted away. Couldn't think of any other words for parallel structure; tried again. Cloudchased (talk) 01:36, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

• Try to avoid the wording "as well", as the reader knows that the storm caused damage.

• Doubly done. Cloudchased (talk) 01:36, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

• "A second house was also driven away" - houses don't drive, reword

• Like boats. Fixed. Cloudchased (talk) 01:36, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

• "Nearby at the Shackleford and Bogue Banks, several other watercraft" remove other

• Done. Cloudchased (talk) 01:36, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

• "and many people made to escape" made to escape < escaped

• The wording implies some of them failed to do so; tweaked, nevertheless. Cloudchased (talk) 01:36, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

• Image is free, I don't see any close paraphrasing concerns, I'll AGF on the off-line sources.

Just fix those minor nitpicks and it should be good to go. Thanks Secret ^account 01:28, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
