   Pass/Fail:

Overall a decent article. However, it's not in any category. The prose is quite rough; I stopped after the lead, and I suggest a thorough copyedit of the article. For example: "Five tropical cyclones were reported during the season, the earliest of which was first observed on August 19 and the latest of which dissipated on October 11. These dates fall within the range of most Atlantic tropical cyclone activity." After discussing the dates, you add a short, abrupt sentence about the normal range of hurricane activity. The next sentence, " None of the cyclones existed simultaneously with another." is quite rough. Can you smooth out the sentence? Just to remind again—these are only examples; the entire article needs copyediting. Maxim_(talk) 15:06, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Categories added. Hurricanehink and I copyedited the article somewhat, so it should be good enough to pass now. Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 16:01, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
