Considering I reviewed it last time, I figured I'll do it again :)

• Where does the MWR say the season was above average? 11 named storms is pretty average now. Also, where does it mention La Niña?

• Yeah. I'm gonna say it was a near average season. Also, MWR does not mention La Niña, and I am not sure why that would be important if the season was average, instead of above or below.--12george1 (talk) 17:42, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

• Why link Erin in the lede when there is no sub-article?

• Maybe because I was planning on making an article for Erin? :P Jk --12george1 (talk) 17:42, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

• "and has since fallen further due to the even more destructive storms during the 2000s decade, as well as the early 2010s." - poorly written, not to mention unsourced. Try "and has since fallen further due to destructive storms in the 2000s and early 2010s."

• "Overall, the storms of the season collectively caused 124 fatalities and at least $10.54 billion in damage." - why isn't this the same as the infobox?

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 17:42, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

• " it was forecast by CSU" --> "the CSU forecast..."

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 17:42, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

• "Prior to the season, the Weather Research Center (WRC) in Houston, Texas also issued a forecast, which called for seven named storms and four hurricanes." - check the source and table why this is wrong :P

• Oops :P--12george1 (talk) 17:42, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

• "and both of which later become Hurricane Hugo and Tropical Storm Iris - cut "and both of"

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 17:42, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

• "Finally, one tropical cyclone developed in November; it eventually became Tropical Storm Karen, and lasted outside the bounds of hurricane season, dissipating on December 4" - you just said this same bit a paragraph prior. Maybe strike the prior reference?

• Better?--12george1 (talk) 17:42, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

• "Subtropical cyclones are excluded from the total." - were there any SC's?

• Yes, there was one in 2000 :P --12george1 (talk) 17:42, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

• "severely damaged to 10 others" - drop the "to"

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 17:42, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

• " with one causing the destruction of a shed in Crystal Beach, Texas" --> "with one wrecking a shed in Crystal Beach, Texas"

• Not all of Chantal's info is backed up by the 3rd page of the prelim report. Did you use NCDC?

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 17:42, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

• Ref 34 mentions nothing about North Carolina. Again, NCDC?

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 17:42, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

• The dates in TD6's section are messed up.

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 17:42, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

• "after being in the environment of the northeastern quadrant of an upper-level low, which caused the flow aloft to become weaker and more divergent." - this could be simplified

• Better?--12george1 (talk) 17:42, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

• As with other season articles you've done, you never mention the history of the storms after they become extratropical. How come? Felix, for example, turned back to the east-southeast.

• What were Gabrielle's peak winds?

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 17:42, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

• I think all of Gabrielle's MH should be in the same paragraph, instead of the hybrid structure you have now. Also, did its waves cause any erosion or boating damage?

• I disagree with the MH being all in one paragraph. It'd be too long and leave both paragraphs way asymmetrical. Yes, there was some erosion and boating damage.--12george1 (talk) 17:42, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

• "Ten people were killed on Montserrat, 89 injured, and damage topped $260 million." - poor grammar

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 17:42, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

• I think you could go into a bit more detail for St. Croix and Puerto Rico for Hugo, given the $1 billion in damage there. Perhaps use NCDC for PR?

• Better?--12george1 (talk) 18:48, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

• "Only minimal tropical cyclogenesis occurred as the wave crossed the Atlantic and Caribbean Sea. " - cyclogenesis and development are two different things. The former implies a TC actually formed, which it didn't in this case. Please clarify.

All in all, better than the last time I reviewed it! Let me know if you have any questions. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 14:56, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
