Don't merge[edit]

Dont merge yet. I am looking for a monetary damage amount for the depression.HurricaneCraze32 00:04, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Todo[edit]

More impact. There's no need for this sort of article. While the storm history is decent (wasn't it me who wrote it a while ago?), the impact is way too short and lacking. Simply put, there's not enough information for this. Even if you do get a damage figure, it doesn't change the fact there's not much info on it.

Eh, that was wrong. It needs a cleanup, however. Hurricanehink (talk) 23:54, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Lede is far too long, portions of it should be moved to storm history. Please don't refer to it as "Fourteen" in prose because "Fourteen" is not a name. "The tropical depression" or "Tropical Depression Fourteen" or even "TD-14" would work. – Chacor 10:05, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I will be reviewing this article which is currently up for Good Article Nomination. I should have the full review out shortly. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 12:44, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • lead
    • The opening sentence is a bit clunky at the end, can you find a way to reword it to be more appealing and more concise?
Done.
  • Met. History
    • For the first sentence, can you give a date or period of the month when this low was active?
Any date would make it a OR vio, as I have no source.
    • By the morning of November 1, the depression had looked little as it had previously, and was nothing more than a swirl of low-level clouds near the center of circulation. - This could probably be shortened to say that convection had dissipated and the depression was just a swirl of low-level clouds, no need for the "looked little as it had previously"
Done.
    • After this, the depression could no longer attain the circulation it had previously developed. semi-redundant, removing it is probably an option but if you feel its necessary it can stay
Its not redundant and the NHC certainly did the same in the PR.Mitch/HC32 13:55, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • After another reconnaissance flight was sent out to study the system, and recorded that surface area temperatures had dropped, the winds had reached 92 mph (147 km/h) and the surface area pressure had reached 998 millibars (29.47 inHg). flight-level or surface winds?
Done.
  • Preps and impact
    • Looks good

All in all this is a very nice article, just a few minor things need to be done before I can pass the article. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 12:56, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Everything looks good now, nice work Mitch, I'm passing the article. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 14:07, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
