Importance[edit]

I'm lowering it to low again. Tropical Storm Alpha (2005) had 26 deaths in a non-developed country and was low importance. Arlene just seems pretty average, albeit on the high-side of low importance. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:42, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What does the development of a country have to do with importance? Honestly, I think 25 fatalities and widespread damage is enough to warrant mid-importance. ★ Auree _talk 05:45, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Developed countries generally have better infrastructure. A storm killing 25 people in Bangladesh would certainly be low. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 06:06, 23 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, seeing the damage totals and the extent of information, I agree that it should be mid-importance. Good thing this is a wiki and we can change things :) --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 14:22, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewer: Yellow Evan (talk · contribs) 04:12, 21 October 2012 (UTC) This article is in good shape. However, my concerns are:[reply]

Better opener. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 04:12, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"Originating from an Atlantic tropical wave, the precursor disturbance crossed the Yucatán Peninsula before emerging into the Bay of Campeche over warm waters." delink Atlatnic, major term per WP:OVERLINKING. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 04:12, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The MH is really good; however, it needs to be updated via TCR. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 04:12, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
" Throughout the country, Arlene resulted in 22 confirmed fatalities and left one person missing." source? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 04:12, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"[28] In the wake of Arlene, one fatality was confirmed in Chiapas due to the effects of the storm.[1]" redundancy, either the first part or the last part should be removed. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 04:12, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Parts of the impact could use some copyediting. For example, "They were both extended shortly after" sounds weird. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 04:12, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"Prior to impact, the IMSS activated a contingency plan for risk zones in the states of Veracruz and Tamaulipas." IMO "Prior to impact seems odd. In addition, spell out IMSS on it's first usage per MOS. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 04:12, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"Damage from the storm surmounted Mex$67 million (US$5.8 million) in Tamaulipas.[50]" wtf, what does "Mex" mean. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 04:12, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Remember, I'm not the person who created the article, let alone add that. I also don't really appreciate foul language on this review, can you tone the level down a bit? The "Mex" is trying to point out Arlene's total in Mexican Currency. I'll change it. STO12 (talk) 16:49, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I know. Tell me when you have changed it. Thanks. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 16:58, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Swollen rivers in El Arenal and Huejutla drowned two people, who were later confirmed dead.[52] In the wake of the disaster, the government of Hidalgo allocated a total Mex$17 million (US$1.45 million) in order to initiate rehabilitation work.[53] " see above.

In better shape than Harvey, but still some work needed. It's close though. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 04:12, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have fixed the issues not addressed above. Please pass/fail or reply speedily as this review has been open way longer than it should have been. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 17:34, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Meh, I'm used to the days of no GAN review limits, but I am passing this article. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 22:34, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
