• "The 1955 Atlantic hurricane season was, at the time, the costliest season ever recorded. The hurricane season officially began on June 15, and ended on November 15." switch the order of "season" and "hurricane season", but keep the wikilink. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 01:05, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

• Not sure what you are wanting me to do.--12george1 (talk) 01:39, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

• "The hurricane season officially began on June 15, and ended on November 15." I'd add years to be consistent with other seasons. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 01:05, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

• Move the timeline graph to the season summary section. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 01:05, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

• "season proper" what does this mean? YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 01:05, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

• It means the actual season. In this context, it refers to how Alice developed in January, but the first storm during the season dates was Barbara.--12george1 (talk) 01:39, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

• Say something like "within the offical hurricane season bounds" . YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 02:58, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

• "in 2005 and 2006.[9][12][13]" link to seasons. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 01:05, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

• Done--12george1 (talk) 01:39, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

• "due to unknown cause in the vicinity of Mobile, Alabama.[4]" why mention if it is unknown? YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 01:05, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 01:39, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

• "although the rains from Connie contributed to flooding from Hurricane Diane that caused $700-800 million in damage.[4] " no need for the stuff after "that". Stuff like that IMO belongs in the season summary. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}

• How about I just leave that damage figure out and say that flooding from Connie was a prelude to Diane?--12george1 (talk) 01:39, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
  • Gopher it. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 02:58, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

• "potentially as many as 200.[28]" I don't like this kind of speculation. The infobox in the awesome storm article says it was at least 184. IMO, this should be removed. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 01:05, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

• Well, I earlier in that sentence I said "there were at least 184 deaths", so I'm not quite speculating.--12george1 (talk) 01:39, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

• Either way, IMO it is still redundant. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 02:58, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

• In Flora's section: "(ITCZ) " should not be part of the wikilink IMO. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 01:05, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

• "A tropical wave developed into a tropical depression early on September 10, while located between Cape Verde and the Lesser Antilles.[4] " is it me or should the word "midway" be in here somehow. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}

• "During its extratropical stage, a ship in the area reported an atmospheric pressure as low as 979 mbar (28.9 inHg).[4]" which ship? YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 01:05, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

• The name of the ship is not specific in the source, which is the MWR.--12george1 (talk) 01:39, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

• Boo. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 02:58, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

• Why was 11 not named? YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}

• Unlike for TS One in 1965, I cannot find an explanation for that due to lack of access to advisories.--12george1 (talk) 01:39, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

• Any more info on Katie? YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}

• Nope, I checked for a while when I was re-writing this article and didn't come up with anything else worth adding.--12george1 (talk) 01:39, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

• "Names that were not assigned are marked in gray." is this needed? It says it is unused below next to the actual name. I know this is in every season article though. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 01:05, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

• Wikilink to newspapers with articles on their first usage since you do it in Ref 14, 34, and 26 I believe. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 01:05, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
