- Fixed. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 21:18, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
By early on September 4, wording
- Don't see the problem here. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 21:18, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - Could By be removed? I think that's what tripping me up. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 00:26, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - Probably not but I re-worded the sentence slightly. Better? YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 01:12, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

However (see WP:EDITORIALIZING)
- Looking at the context, I don't see how this contrast is editorializing. "in part because the subtropical ridge was anticipated to remain anchored north of the system. However, this ridge proved to be weaker than expected and Irving tracked slowly northwestward instead." The source say the storm move in a certain direction but it moved in a different direction instead. That's an indisputable contrast. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane

A Hurricane hunter aircraft. Please maintain consistency with capitalization. It was earlier spelt as after a Hurricane Hunter aircraft with a capital H.
- Fixed. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 21:18, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Impact

Schools were closed can this be merged with the previous sentence?
- Sure. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 21:18, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Twenty-three were wounded. Please spell as 23 and try to merge with following sentence
- Doesn't really fit in with any other sentence and I don't want to start a sentence with a number. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 21:18, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - I re-read the MOS and it says generally, but you do not have to so we can leave that.HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 00:26, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
However (see WP:EDITORIALIZING)
- This I can sorta see; changed. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 21:18, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
