  • "The season officially began on May 15 in the Eastern Pacific, and on June 1 in the Central Pacific; in both basins," just 140W lines here to avoid confusion on why CPAC storms are included in this article. YE Pacific Hurricane 16:33, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • The lead is a bit long for EPAC season articles: "Hurricane Dora was the most intense cyclone, with a peak intensity of 145 mph (220 km/h), equivalent to Category 4 hurricane status on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane scale. With a total track length of 6,500 mi (10,500 km), Dora had the second longest track of a Pacific hurricane on record, behind only Hurricane John in the 1994 season." just condense this to "Hurricane Dora was a long-lived an intense cyclone, which had the second longest track of a Pacific hurricane on record".

*Some of the extra details placed here could IMO be placed in the season summary. It summaries the season pretty well,just not inline with the other EPAC seasons. Looks like you already done that; you read my mind :). YE Pacific Hurricane 16:33, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'd touch base on Droa's WPAC history.
  • Add a note in Dora's infobox that it left the basin before dissipating. YE Pacific Hurricane
  • "While passing offshore, Irwin brought patches of heavy rainfall to some areas of Mexico, peaking at 9.92 inches (252 mm) in Coahuayutla de Guerrero, Guerrero.[12] T" mentioned this add the end of the paragraph, it's not like it affected multiple places.

Well-written:

(a) the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct; and
(b) it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.[1]
  • Verifiable with no original research:
  • (a) it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline;
    (b) reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose);[2] and
    (c) it contains no original research.
  • Broad in its coverage:
  • (a) it addresses the main aspects of the topic;[3] and
    (b) it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
  • Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
  • Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
  • [4]

  • Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
  • [5]

    (a) media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content; and
    (b) media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.[6]

    1. ^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the Manual of Style mainpage, is not required for good articles.
    2. ^ Either parenthetical references or footnotes can be used for in-line citations, but not both in the same article.
    3. ^ This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
    4. ^ Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of constructive editing should be placed on hold.
    5. ^ Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
    6. ^ The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.
