• "Initially a tropical depression, favorable conditions allowed it to be Tropical Storm Danielle later that day" - kinda wonky wording.

• "favorable conditions allowed for strengthening into Tropical..." would work better IMO.
  • Fixed--12george1 (talk) 19:42, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
• "with Danielle peaking with winds of" - avoid one of the "with"s
  • Fixed--12george1 (talk) 19:42, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
• "However, thereafter" - pick one of these words, not both
  • Fixed--12george1 (talk) 19:42, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
• "Additionally, Danielle crossed seas in the wake of Hurricane Bonnie, also contributing to weakening." - the "additionally" and "also" seem redundant.

• The structure of the lede is confusing. The first para seems like MH, and then so does the second, but then the second also deals with impact earlier in its history. You should either keep everything chronological, or just have a separate impact paragraph.
  • Could you address this? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:06, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
• According to the track map, the remnants didn't quite reach the British Isles, despite what the lede says. Maybe say "approached the British Isles"?
  • And this? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:06, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
• The infobox should probably use the extratropical dissipation date, and then say something like (extratropical after September 3)
  • Fixed--12george1 (talk) 01:52, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
• "In Bermuda, although the storm passed safely to the northwest, tropical storm force winds were reported on the island" - no need to say "on the island" when you already say "in Bermuda".
  • Fixed--12george1 (talk) 01:52, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
• "Throughout its path, Danielle caused only $50,000 (1998 USD) in damage" - that's not quite true, since it's only based off one known damage total.
  • Fixed--12george1 (talk) 01:52, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
    • Ehh, but you already mention the $50,000 in Puerto Rico. I don't think you have to say it again, considering you don't have any other damage totals. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:06, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
• "A tropical wave – which was accompanied by disorganized convection – emerged into the Atlantic Ocean from the west coast of Africa on August 21." - don't think the dashes are appropriate. Why not use commas?
  • Fixed--12george1 (talk) 01:52, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
• "with tropical storm force winds spanning only 115 miles (185 km) from the center" - this is confusing. Is that a radius or diameter? The "from the center" implies radius, but spanning suggests otherwise.
  • What was the verdict? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:06, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
• "The National Hurricane Center noted shortly thereafter that the eye was probably embedded in an asymmetrical area of deep convection." - what does that even mean?
  • The eye had disappeared from satellite imagery, but may have been embedded within deep convection.--12george1 (talk) 01:52, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
    • Could you explain that a bit better in the article? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:06, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
• "though post-analysis indicates that at intensity of the storm was underestimated." - is there something missing here?
  • Nothing was missing, there was just a grammar error.--12george1 (talk) 01:52, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
• "reconnaissance aircraft observations on August 29 concluded that the structure of Danielle improved since the previous day, August 28." - no need for the "August 28"
  • Fixed--12george1 (talk) 01:52, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
• "Six hours later" - from when? There is no reference to time in the previous sentence.
  • Fixed--12george1 (talk) 01:52, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
• Can you try finding some more impact in the UK?
  • Much better now! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:06, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

On an account of how long it's taking, I have to fail it. Sorry George. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:47, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
