• "Hurricane Faith reached the northernmost latitude of any tropical cyclone" - this implies worldwide. Is that true?

• It very well be worldwide. However, the source implies it was only Atlantic, so I will revise it as the latter.--12george1 (talk) 02:39, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

• "Continuing westward" - "Tracking westward" - one is pretty redundant to the other. I'd recommend cutting "continuing westward", since the same sentence says "continuing to slowly strengthen."

• "outerbands" - is that one word?

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 05:08, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

• You mention "Category 1" without SSHS ever in the whole article.

• "The storm nearly maintained intensity" - I don't get the "nearly"

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 05:08, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

• "Three others drowning deaths" - grammar?

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 05:08, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

• "Gradually intensification" - grammar?

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 05:08, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

• Why did Faith initially weaken near the Leeward Islands?

• Cannot be determine with the Preliminary Report or MWR.

• Why did Faith turn to the northeast? (did you try weather summary for August or September 66?)

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 02:35, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

• Was there any additional info in the MWR? (hint, yes, with regards to when the extratropical cyclone dissipated) Also, the infobox is wrong, it didn't dissipate on the 6th.

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 02:35, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

• It might be neat having the insert map included in the MWR, with its ET track near the North Pole. Not required for GA, but it'd be nice.
• What was the basis for Faith's peak winds? Ship reports? Recon? Land?

• That cannot be determined either.--12george1 (talk) 02:35, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

• "The extratrpical remnants of Faith headed westward and affected Norway" - did it move across Europe to strike Norway from the east? Also, typo.

• Watch for unit rounding in the MH.

• Better?--12george1 (talk) 05:08, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

• "by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration" - I think people would be less confused if you said "by NASA", a rare circumstance where the acronym is probably better known.

• Compromised and added NASA in parenthesis after it.--12george1 (talk) 05:08, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

• "to shut down 45 minutes after the rocket lifted off" - was it for 45 minutes, or 45 minutes afterward it was shut off permanently?

• It shut down 45 minutes after the rocket was launched, but I can't determine from the source if it was permanent.--12george1 (talk) 05:08, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

• In the lede, you said - "the outerbands of Faith produced gale force winds in the region, especially Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Antigua." - but the impact doesn't mention anything about gales in the latter two territories. Unless they're included in "across nearby islands and Puerto Rico". In which case, why specify in the lede but not impact?

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 02:41, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

• Given how close it was, any impact in Bahamas?
• "Five people died as a result of the storm" - this contradicts the infobox. Also, it contradicts the source, which says only four deaths.

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 05:08, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

• Is that all the impact? It feels a bit lacking.

That's it for now. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:12, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
