"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. Y E ^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".

Ok, done--12george1 (talk) 20:08, 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 :). Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 16:33, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Do you know how many storms received recon? Y E ^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. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 16:33, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wasn't Beatriz annular? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 16:33, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently not. [1] [2]--12george1 (talk) 20:05, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"By this time howeve" comma after time. Y E ^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? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 16:33, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"reached the Eastern Pacific Ocean" change ocean to basin IMO. Y E ^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.

Better?--12george1 (talk) 20:26, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Add a note in Dora's infobox that it left the basin before dissipating. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane

Any TC watches for Eleven? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 16:33, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, the Preliminary Report does not mention anything watches or warnings.--12george1 (talk) 19:51, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'd add a tad of MX impact to Greg's section. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 16:33, 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? Y E ^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.

Well-written:

(a) the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct; and

(b) it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.^[1]

Verifiable with no original research:

(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);^[2] and

(c) it contains no original research.

Broad in its coverage:

(a) it addresses the main aspects of the topic;^[3] and

(b) it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).

Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.

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

Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:

^[5]

(a) media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content; and

(b) media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.^[6]

^ Compliance with other aspects of the Manual of Style, or the Manual of Style mainpage, is not required for good articles.
^ Either parenthetical references or footnotes can be used for in-line citations, but not both in the same article.
^ This requirement is significantly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required of featured articles; it allows shorter articles, articles that do not cover every major fact or detail, and overviews of large topics.
^ Vandalism reversions, proposals to split or merge content, good faith improvements to the page (such as copy editing), and changes based on reviewers' suggestions do not apply. Nominations for articles that are unstable because of constructive editing should be placed on hold.
^ Other media, such as video and sound clips, are also covered by this criterion.
^ The presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement. However, if images (or other media) with acceptable copyright status are appropriate and readily available, then some such images should be provided.
