Will do in a bit. NoahTalk 20:28, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
- I have reviewed the article entirely. There will be a decent bit of work involved in improving the article due to its size. I have placed the article on hold as I'm sure this will take some time to complete. NoahTalk 22:41, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
Lead[edit]
- "although land impact was often minimal." should be 'although land impacts were often minimal.' NoahTalk 20:54, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
- "The season's activity continued into November, when Hurricane Sandra [...]" cut the comma. NoahTalk 20:54, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
Seasonal summary[edit]
- "easily surpassing the old record of 11 set by 1992 and 1994." Should be 'set in'. NoahTalk 20:54, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
Systems[edit]
I hate to say it, but this will need a decent bit of work. I will organize it for you to make it easier, but I will have a lot to point out due to the number of systems and variance within them. NoahTalk 20:42, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
General[edit]
- Links need work. Something should either be linked once per main section and in the lead or linked in every section. Please fix these. NoahTalk 20:42, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
- Take note this also includes things like mbar, inHg, Maximum sustained wind, and minimum central pressure, etc. NoahTalk 21:06, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
- Try to use "moisture" as little as possible as people do not like the word. NoahTalk 20:42, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
June & July[edit]
Andres
- "Further weakening ensured as convection around Andres's center dissipated" Should be ensued instead of ensured. NoahTalk 20:42, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
- "and the NHC declared Andres as a remnant low on June 4." Remove 'as' NoahTalk 20:42, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
Blanca
- Link to tropical wave NoahTalk 20:42, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
Carlos
- Link to Kelvin wave NoahTalk 20:42, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
- "Wind shear and dry air afterwards led to rapid weakening, falling to tropical storm intensity on June 17 and degeneration into a remnant area of low pressure hours later" Should be afterward. What fell to TS status? Probably should be degenerating. NoahTalk 20:42, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
- "The waves combined with heavy rain to inflict at least 5 million pesos (US$326,000) of damage on Michoacán's coastal installations." Cut 'to' and change to 'inflicted'. NoahTalk 20:42, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
Halola
- Link to Anticyclone. NoahTalk 20:42, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
Dolores
- Link sea surface temperatures. NoahTalk 20:42, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
Enrique
- " become Tropical Storm Enrique eighteen hours later." 18 hours per MOS:NUM. NoahTalk 20:42, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
- MOS:NUM says
Integers greater than nine expressible in one or two words may be expressed either in numerals or in words
though. IIRC I spell out numbers if they can be expressed in one word. ~ KN2731 {t · c} 05:15, 7 April 2019 (UTC)- And I realised I was being inconsistent with myself. I think I'll just express everything from 10 to 99 in numerals instead except for the exceptions outlined in MOS:NUMNOTES. ~ KN2731 {t · c} 14:28, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
- MOS:NUM says
- "dry air to the northwest of Enrique entrained into its circulation, thus Enrique struggled to intensify". Could the last part be reworded please? NoahTalk 20:42, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
Guillermo
- "located 90 mi (150 km) from Maui." I would recommend specifying the direction. NoahTalk 20:42, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
August[edit]
Eleven-E
- "Southeasterly shear, dry air entrainment and cooler waters caused the depression to lose its deep convection" Need a comma after entrainment. NoahTalk 21:03, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
Loke
- "Afterwards, Loke was once again hindered by the aforementioned nearby trough, which served to impart strong wind shear over Loke and pull Loke to the north" Too many Lokes. NoahTalk 21:03, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
Kilo
- "Tropical storm warnings were hoisted" I don't think hoisted is the right word. NoahTalk 21:03, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
- "with the winds doubling from 75 mph (120 km/h) to 140 mph (220 km/h)" not quite doubling. NoahTalk 21:03, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
- "first such occurrence in the historical record" Simply 'in recorded history' NoahTalk 21:03, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
- "Kilo maintained Category 3 intensity over the next couple of days as it approached the International Date Line." Change Cat 3 to 'its' NoahTalk 21:03, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
Ignacio
Jimena
- Link to Manzanillo, Colima NoahTalk 21:17, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
- "tight inner core with a small radius of maximum wind of just 40 mi (65 km)" needs reworked. NoahTalk 21:17, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
September[edit]
Linda
Sixeteen-E
October[edit]
Oho
- Link Infrared and Microwave imaging. NoahTalk 21:50, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
Eight-C
- "on it as a tropical depression on October 3 and designated it as Eight-C" would be better as 'on October 3, designating it as Tropical Depression Eight-C'. NoahTalk 21:50, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
- "crossing the Date Line on October 6 and dissipated a few hours later." verb tense. NoahTalk 21:50, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
- "The Japan Meteorological Agency, however, still began to warn on the system as a tropical depression." Needs reworded. NoahTalk 21:50, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
Nora
Olaf
- First mention should be Hurricane Olaf as the intensity has not yet been established. NoahTalk 22:00, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
- "and Olaf weakened" I would change this to 'Causing Olaf to weaken'. NoahTalk 22:00, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
- "The same trough also accelerated Olaf to the east, and Olaf re-entered the Eastern Pacific on October 26" too many Olafs. NoahTalk 22:00, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
- ", and Olaf became post-tropical on October 27 while still producing gale-force winds." same thing here. Name should only be used once in a sentence. NoahTalk 22:00, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
Patricia
November & December[edit]
Rick
Sandra
- "Originating from a tropical wave that emerged off the west coast of Africa on November 6, Sandra was first classified as a tropical depression on November 23 well south of Mexico. Environmental conditions, including high sea surface temperatures and low wind shear, were highly conducive to intensification and the storm quickly organized." Would change the first part to 'the system was classified as a tropical depression [...]'. When did the system become a TS and receive its name? NoahTalk 22:34, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
Storm names[edit]
Note[edit]
I'm not a fan of interjecting in GA reviews but I just saw this GAN, and given my tenure and this article's importance, felt the need to interject. Could stuff from Stormdata be used to flesh out the sections for the US storms? Also use the NWS for Hawaii impact. YE Pacific Hurricane 05:47, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
- @Yellow Evan: to clarify by "Stormdata" are you referring to the NCDC storm events database? ~ KN2731 {t · c} 14:52, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
- Yes. YE Pacific Hurricane 17:03, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
- Found some additional info for 16E. Found a tornado and thunderstorms supposedly boosted by moisture from Guillermo but I don't feel like bringing that in since I can't find a source that makes the link explicitly. NWS Honolulu's September pptn summary was useful for Jimena. The tropical disturbance mentioned in the August one doesn't seem to have been a tropical cyclone at any point (none of the dissipation dates coincide properly). October summary listed some impact from Nora which I've added. ~ KN2731 {t · c} 15:07, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
- Yes. YE Pacific Hurricane 17:03, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
- “Low pressure” should not be hyphenated when not used as an adjective: “area of low pressure” is correct, not “area of low-pressure”.—Jasper Deng (talk) 01:57, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
Post-review comments[edit]
@KN2731: I thoroughly went through the article over an hour and a half and fixed the remaining minor issues. I saw you still have some content to add, which will definitely improve the article. However, I feel the criteria for GA are met at this time and am passing this as a GA. I would highly suggest nominating the 2015 Pacific hurricane season for good topic now that all articles are good quality. If you really wanted to, you could easily get this to A class and possibly even FA at a later time. Whatever you decide to do, good luck. Sincerely, NoahTalk 21:58, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
