I've listed this article for peer review because it is an article on WikiProject:Tropical cyclone's vital article list and is the flagship article for the future featured topic of the same name. @Master of Time and MarioProtIV:, if you would be willing to take a look at the prose of the article (for sentence structure/grammar as well as accuracy), it would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to prepare the article for FAC. If anyone else would like to chime in, feel free to do so.

Comments from KN2731
[edit]Prose issues from a brief read-through:
- Be consistent in capitalizing eastern/central Pacific vs Eastern/Central Pacific
- When punctuating a sentence, en dashes should be spaced (see MOS:DASH). I've only seen this appear in the season summary
- Date Line or Dateline?
- Check diacritic consistency e.g. Michoacán
- Should be fixed. NoahTalk 22:01, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
- Possible overlinking for locations e.g. Oaxaca
- Move extratropical link from 96C to Walaka's section; link eyewall replacement cycle and Sonora somewhere; link Four Corners region
- Last sentence of season summary needs fixing
- Should be fixed. NoahTalk 21:42, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
- This too:
Although a total of four tropical depressions formed, only two became storms formed–Fabio and Gilma
- Removed formed. NoahTalk 21:42, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
- Walaka's part in the season summary looks a little fragmented, since formation and peak are separated by most of the last paragraph
- Moved them to be together. NoahTalk 21:42, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
May leave more comments later. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 12:23, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
In addition, many global computer models expected a positive Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO), a phase of a multi-decade cycle that favored much warmer than average sea surface temperatures that had been ongoing since 2014 to continue, in contrast to the 1995–2013 period, which featured below-normal activity.
Too much info in one sentence
- Split and fixed up. NoahTalk 22:18, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
- {{Highest ACE Pacific hurricane seasons}} needs a source (probably HURDAT)
September saw the formation of five tropical cyclone
– plural
making landfall in Sinaloa, Mexico, in late-October
– not directly preceding a noun, doesn't need hyphen
- Removed the hypen. NoahTalk 22:18, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
- (Bud)
excessive mid-level moisture
– from my reading "excessive" sounds like the air was supersaturated. Also maybe give a little more detail toHeavy rainfall from Bud killed a child in Mexico City.
- (Carlotta) Right now it's not clear how conditions allowed for strengthening, did wind shear decrease after June 15?
- The storm simply overcame the shear which is what is expressed. NoahTalk 13:29, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
- (Daniel)
The dissipating Tropical Storm Carlotta dragged a part of the ITCZ northward. An area of thunderstorms formed on June 18
– first sentence seems out of place, if causation exists change to something like "This resulted in the formation of an area of t-storms on June 18"
- (Fabio)
After 12 hours at peak intensity, Fabio began to decay as a result of having tracked into a region of cooler sea surface temperatures; the storm later rapidly weakened as it moved over even colder sea temperatures
– a value for SSTs may be helpful
- We don't have one in TCR so I will add some advisories. NoahTalk 13:29, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
- Check capitalization for Kelvin Wave/wave
- (Hector)
as the Johnston Atoll
– is "the" necessary?
- Removed. NoahTalk 13:29, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
- (Lane)
this intensity made Lane the fifth storm to achieve Category 5 status in the central Pacific
– clarify that this is in recorded history and not for the year;9,000,000 US gal (30,000,000 L) of raw sewage
– spell out and link units, may also be better to change to "9 million" and "30 million"
- Did everything except link them per the MOS. NoahTalk 13:54, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
- (Miriam)
its low-level center became entirely pregnable
– I don't think pregnable can be used that way
- Changed to vulnerable. NoahTalk 13:54, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
- (Olivia) Lanai and Lanai City, Hawaii exist, also
occurring at the Lanai Airport
Lanai Airport is a proper noun and "the" isn't needed
- (19E) link Guaymas and Ciudad Obregón
- Linked. NoahTalk 13:54, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
- (Vicente) link Playa Azul (Michoacán) and Coatzacoalcos River
- Haven't looked at refs, but check for the same mistakes pointed out in past FACs
That should be it. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 15:55, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
- Will work on this later in the week. NoahTalk 20:39, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
- Should be able to do this on Saturday and/or Sunday. NoahTalk 00:42, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
