Fix typos. They are tampant across the article. Hurricanehink 20:29, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Storm05, will you please use a spell-checker and a grammar checker. All one has to do is search wikipedia for "dissapated" to find a list of articles that you have edited. — jdorje (talk) 20:51, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Every storm needs sources and a decent meteorological history. Hurricanehink (talk) 04:31, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Came across this page while browsing the WikiProject, so I thought I'd do some copy-editing. Typos begone! -- wacko2 19:34, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • "The season officially began on May 15 in the Eastern Pacific, and on June 1 in the Central Pacific; in both basins," just 140W lines here to avoid confusion on why CPAC storms are included in this article. YE Pacific Hurricane 16:33, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not sure what you are asking me to do here.--12george1 (talk) 20:26, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • The lead is a bit long for EPAC season articles: "Hurricane Dora was the most intense cyclone, with a peak intensity of 145 mph (220 km/h), equivalent to Category 4 hurricane status on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane scale. With a total track length of 6,500 mi (10,500 km), Dora had the second longest track of a Pacific hurricane on record, behind only Hurricane John in the 1994 season." just condense this to "Hurricane Dora was a long-lived an intense cyclone, which had the second longest track of a Pacific hurricane on record". YE Pacific Hurricane 16:33, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

*Some of the extra details placed here could IMO be placed in the season summary. It summaries the season pretty well,just not inline with the other EPAC seasons. Looks like you already done that; you read my mind :). YE Pacific Hurricane 16:33, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Per the first page of the MWR, "There were no reconnaissance flights into eastern North Pacific tropical cyclones in 1999".--12george1 (talk) 20:05, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Add the 1 person missing and peak rainfall total to Adrain's section. YE Pacific Hurricane 16:33, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ok, but it seems kinda odd, since I have a comma after the next word (however).--12george1 (talk) 19:51, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "A tropical wave crossed the Atlantic Ocean" why is Atlantic Ocean linked? YE Pacific Hurricane 16:33, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "reached the Eastern Pacific Ocean" change ocean to basin IMO. YE Pacific Hurricane 16:33, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Fixed, if you are talking about the one in TD6-E's section.--12george1 (talk) 19:51, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'd touch base on Droa's WPAC history.
  • Add a note in Dora's infobox that it left the basin before dissipating. YE Pacific Hurricane
  • Nope, the Preliminary Report does not mention anything watches or warnings.--12george1 (talk) 19:51, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I already did; roughly 2/3 of that second paragraph is about Mexico.--12george1 (talk) 19:51, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "There were no known reports of injuries or deaths from the storm.[29]" why is it here then? YE Pacific Hurricane 16:33, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • " strong mid-tropospheric ridge " link to the ridge article plz. Thanks. YE Pacific Hurricane 16:33, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "While passing offshore, Irwin brought patches of heavy rainfall to some areas of Mexico, peaking at 9.92 inches (252 mm) in Coahuayutla de Guerrero, Guerrero.[12] T" mentioned this add the end of the paragraph, it's not like it affected multiple places. YE Pacific Hurricane 16:33, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nope, the Preliminary Report doesn't say anything regarding that.--12george1 (talk) 19:51, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
