I will do this later. Noah^Talk 19:38, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

I was reviewing this Noah and had an edit conflict. Consider the review finished ;) ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:40, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

I don't think I've ever see 2 people try to review the same GAN at the same time in my 11 years editing. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 17:11, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Which is why my edit conflict was so unexpected XD ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:56, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

I changed the reviewer to @Hurricanehink:, but left the timestamp as 19:38 as that was when the page was officially created. Noah^Talk 20:06, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

• The first system, a subtropical storm, developed in the Gulf of Mexico on May 21, several days before the official start of the season. - this should be mentioned earlier when you mention the dates of the season.

• Done--12george1 (talk) 04:23, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

• A total of 21 tropical cyclone formed - first, grammar (cyclones), and second, is it 21 tropical, or 21 tropical/subtropical?

• 21 including the subtropical cyclones. I changed it to simply "cyclones". Let me know if you object--12george1 (talk) 04:23, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

• Just "cyclones" would include non-tropical cyclones. Just say subtropical or tropical cyclones. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:55, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

• Ok, I did that instead--12george1 (talk) 05:40, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

• When you mention the seasonal activity compared to normal, your usage of "near" and "slightly above" is odd. 10 is "near normal" compared to 9.6, but 6 is "slightly above" 5.9, while 3 is "near" 2.3. Technically it's correct, but it's something odd that I noticed.

• Better?--12george1 (talk) 04:23, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

• with the final cyclone became extratropical on October 28 - grammar

• Done--12george1 (talk) 04:23, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

• Just one fully tropical storm developed in the Gulf of Mexico and none in the Caribbean Sea. - why not mention Dottie here?

• Done--12george1 (talk) 04:23, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

• 'The storm spawned nine tornadoes in Florida,[17] one of which destroyed 6 mobile homes and damaged 40 others; demolished 6 large chicken houses; and severely damaged a paint plant in Hillsborough County - you should mention the location of the damaging tornado sooner

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 04:23, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

• Mention SS1's peak rainfall in prose. Also, any impacts outside of Florida? (not that you'd be able to check NCDC due to the #trumpshutdown

• There was some rainfall (the peak total was in South Carolina), but not really anything in Newspapers.com. I do have ftp versions of Storm Data (1959-1992), but the May 1976 edition doesn't mention impacts in other states--12george1 (talk) 04:23, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

• • Wait, NCDC is down due to the shutdown? Crap, that means I can't do US impact (outside of LexisNexis) for Percy 90. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 17:11, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

• Sadly yes >:( ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:56, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

• After merging the low merged with a polar trough on July 28 - let's merge!!

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 04:23, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

• At 02:00 UTC, the ship M.S. Pointe Allegre observed a barometric pressure of 999 mbar (29.5 inHg) and wind gusts as high as 69 mph (111 km/h).[22] The cyclone peaked with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (75 km/h) at 12:00 UTC on July 30. Curving east-northeastward, the system also acquired tropical characteristics, with a transition to Tropical Storm Anna becoming complete about six hours later - did the ship observation lead to the storm being reclassified as tropical? If so, please re-write this section. It all happened on the same day, so the prose could be streamlined.

• It was actually why the subtropical depression was upgraded to a subtropical storm--12george1 (talk) 01:03, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

• the depression strengthened into a tropical storm on August 7 - mention Belle here, so the name is established when you say it later

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 04:23, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

• You mentioned $1 million in Canadian damage from Belle in the lead, but not in the section, so make sure you add it here (as well as other Canadian impacts)

• Thanks for bringing that up. Don't wanna to be a Canadian Idiot :P --12george1 (talk) 05:40, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

• By 06:00 UTC on August 20, the cyclone intensified into a hurricane. - ordinarily I wouldn't ask, but considering the high latitude, could you add how far the storm was from Nova Scotia here? Or perhaps mention the latitude? Candice was one of only a few storms to attain hurricane status north of 40N. Your call

• I mentioned the latitude--12george1 (talk) 05:40, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

• What caused Emmy to turn to the northwest and then back to the east? It's an unusual track

• A frontal low pressure system--12george1 (talk) 05:40, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

• While moving west-northwestward at about 12 mph (19 km/h), an upper-tropospheric cold low pressure began approaching the wave, causing cloud features associated with the system to become better organized by September 23. - what? It's a little jargony
• A depression then developed near the middle of the Gulf of Mexico on September 22. Tracking northward, the depression made landfall in southeastern Louisiana with winds of 30 mph (45 km/h) late on September 24, before quickly dissipating over Mississippi. - any impacts with this depression?

• I couldn't find anything in the Storm Data report from NCDC or Newspapers.com. There isn't even a rainfall map for that TD--12george1 (talk) 05:40, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

• Could you add the relevant refs to the season effects table?

• I'm not sure how to. Although that column appears visible on the table template, there doesn't appear to be a parameter for references in the templates for the individual storms--12george1 (talk) 05:40, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

All in all a decent article, and just a bit more work needs to be done for me to pass it as a GA. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:40, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
