"Greater than 6 total" how do we know it was more than 6? YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 23:08, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- It's detailed in the note. All passengers except the captain and his crew member died, but an exact count isn't available. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 01:13, 24 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"Mind adding more impact to lead somehow? I know it's kinda hard with these sort of systems, but still, some specifics like maybe the tow injuries would be nice.YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane
- Not sure that changes much, I think it's fine as is, but I mentioned the two injuries. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 01:13, 24 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"The origin of the 1827 North Carolina hurricane is unclear in the absence of reliable data across the Atlantic Ocean, but it is surmised the storm began as a classic Cape Verde hurricane." I'd plug a link into Atlantic hurricane or tropical cyclone basins in here. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 23:08, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- I already linked to Cape Verde hurricane, no need. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 01:13, 24 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"while other reports suggested that storm tides surpassed 10 feet (3.0 m) above normal levels" link to storm surge. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 23:08, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Surge =/= tide. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 01:13, 24 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"Outside the city, the hurricane widened the Masonboro Sound by at least 0.5 miles (0.80 km) and destroyed several of the accompanied saltworks. " link to Masonboro Sound Historic District here. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 23:08, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Why? That's something completely different. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 01:13, 24 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"The cotton and tobacco crops did not fare so well" maintain a NPOV here. So well to whom? I think you mean it suffered severe damage. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 23:08, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- This was discussed off Wiki. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 01:13, 24 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - Lol this was my bad. I just wasn't use to that wording. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 01:18, 24 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"A two-story building on Talbot Street in Norfolk had its second floor carried downwind," is this really worth noting? YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 23:08, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 01:13, 24 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"A brick building was destroyed, a team boat was sunk at its wharf," ditto. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 23:08, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 01:13, 24 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"Heavy rainfall and gale-force winds were recorded within Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Cape Cod.[4]" something just doesn't sound right with "within". Maybe try "across"? YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 23:08, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Changed to "throughout" TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 01:13, 24 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Mention the six deaths in the body somewhere. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 23:09, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- They're detailed by incident already. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 01:13, 24 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
