GA Review

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

---

This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

1. Is it well written?

   A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:

   Well done.

   B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:

   In the Florida section, it would be best if "Florida", "Palm Beach County, Florida", "Miami-Dade", "Broward" are linked once, per here. Same thing goes with Carolinas and Mid-Atlantic and New England sections, link cities, states, highways, etc., just once.

   Half-check. In the Florida section, "Florida" is linked twice. Same goes in the Carolinas and Mid-Atlantic section, "North Carolina Highway 12" should be just linked once. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 14:36, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

2. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?

   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):

   Does Reference 29 cover all this ---> "A few roads were closed, mainly due to flooding and downed trees and tree limbs. Old North Wharf in Nantucket was damaged beyond repair, while numerous small boats were washed ashore. Similarly, a large number of scallops were washed up in a nearby harbor. Overall wind damage was common, including broken windows, structural damage, and substantial movement of objects such as garbage cans, and downed trees"?

5. Is it stable?

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

   A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:

   B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
