"A total of 7.71 inches (196 mm) of precipitation fell in Portland, Maine within 24 hours, 3.13 inches (80 mm) of it in only 6 hours. As a result, this was the highest 24 hour rainfall total for Portland, which stood until Hurricane Bob in 1991.[7]" should IMO be changed to "A total of 7.71 inches (196 mm) of precipitation fell in Portland, Maine within 24 hours, 3.13 inches (80 mm) of which fell in only 6 hours. Subsequently, Hurricane Daisy set a then-record the highest 24 hour rainfall total for Portland; however, this recorded was broken during Hurricane Bob in 1991.[7]" Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 23:15, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The writing is getting choppy here. "Also, lobster fishing ships suffered from heavy losses due to Daisy.[2] Boat damages were severe, with hundreds of small boats destroyed, and many larger boats damaged.[9] " should IMO be revised to "Damages to boats were severe; hundreds of small boats were destroyedwhile many larger boats were damaged.[9] In addition, the lobster industry suffered heavy losses from the system. " Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 23:15, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"Also, a pier was washed away in the high surf.[4] Total damage from wave and tide was $600,000.[9] " "Also" should be revised to "In addition," IMO. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 23:15, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well-written:

(a) the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct; and

(b) it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.^[1]

Verifiable with no original research:

(a) it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline;

(b) reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose);^[2] and

(c) it contains no original research.

Broad in its coverage:

(a) it addresses the main aspects of the topic;^[3] and

(b) it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).

Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.

Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.

Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:

^[5]

(a) media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content; and

(b) media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.^[6]

^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the Manual of Style mainpage, is not required for good articles.
^ Either parenthetical references or footnotes can be used for in-line citations, but not both in the same article.
^ This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
^ Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of constructive editing should be placed on hold.
^ Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
^ The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.
