"Tropical Storm Colin affected the East Coast of the United States and Bermuda in August 2010." boring, suggest re-writing. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 04:40, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done - There wasn't too much Colin did, but I did replace it with "Tropical Storm Colin was a tropical cyclone that brought squally weather to Bermuda and caused extensive rip currents across the East Coast of the United States in August 2010."

Cut back on impact in the lead and merge the two paragraphs. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 04:40, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done - A little bit and merged the paragraphs. TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 14:21, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"The remnant circulation was forecast to possibly regenerate as Colin entered a more favorable environment.[2]" per Richard's GAN, remove. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 04:40, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done - Removed, tweaked the following sentence. TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 14:21, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Passing just to the north of the northern Leeward Islands, a reconnaissance aircraft went to investigate the system on August 4, but no closed circulation was found." two thinges, I'd change "went to investigate" to "investigate" as it is current form is confusing and wimkilink atmospheric circulation to "closed circulation".

"A few computer models, namely the GFDL and HWRF, predicted that Colin would briefly attain hurricane status.[3]" spell out models. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 04:40, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done - Continued linking their spelled out models, put abbreviations in parentheses. TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 14:21, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In the see also, remove the extra space and a link to the Timeline of the 2011 AHS. Thanks. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 04:40, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done - Chipped and filled in. TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 14:21, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why is only ref 1 in cite report, while the other NHC refs appear to be in cite web? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 04:40, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done - All's a report. TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 14:21, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"The NHC's advisory archive on Tropical Storm Colin" why is NHC linked? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 04:40, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done - Now there is no more link. :) TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 14:21, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
