I'll review this now.

• Neat (and timely) opening sentence!! Might I suggesting using this source? Right now, it has the March 2011 as the date (for the season summary part where you properly ref it).

• Fixed. It also worked as a more up-to-date source for ACE.--12george1 (talk) 23:22, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

• " It was an average season" - this directly contradicts the opening sentence.

• Better?--12george1 (talk) 23:22, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

• Eh, but later in the article it says the number of storms was above average, based on the 1950-2000 avg. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:06, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

• "Debbie then brushed Ireland as a Category 1 hurricane shortly before becoming extratropical. " - that suggests it struck Ireland while tropical, which contradicts the main article

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 23:22, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

• "resulting in a total of twelve deaths."

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 23:22, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

• "It was an above average season in which eleven tropical depressions formed" - do you know that there were no TD's that weren't in HURDAT?

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 23:22, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

• Does HURDAT really prove that the unnamed TS "initially went unnoticed"? I'd like more confirmation.

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 23:22, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

• But did it go unnoticed? Or was it treated as a TD? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:06, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

• "Later that day, the final system, Tropical Storm Inga..." - this implies Inga formed on the 8th. Is that right?

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 23:22, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

• " Subtropical cyclones, such as the first storm, are excluded from the total" - Anna was subtropical?

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 23:22, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

• Were there any subtropical storms though? If not, why mention? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:06, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

• "on September 5, a shortwave forced the low northeastward" - the map suggests northwest track

• It isn't talking about Betsy. I believe the sentence is referring to this low: "Another low-pressure area later formed in the trough..."--12george1 (talk) 23:22, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

• Oh, why bother mentioning the other low? You should clarify that this allowed the ridge to rebuild. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:06, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

• How close did Betsy pass near Bermuda?

• Not close enough :P --12george1 (talk) 23:22, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

• " became a major hurricane after reaching Category 3 intensity" - but MH = C3, so that's redundant

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 23:22, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

• How strong was Carla at landfall?

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 23:22, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

• Why don't you include Carla's ET history? For that matter, ditto with Betsy, and probably other storms.
• Any Canada impact for Carla? What about Frances?

All in all, pretty good! Just clarify these few things and I'll be happy to pass. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:27, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
