Talk:Hurricane Gladys (1975)

Todo

It has some good content, but there are numerous spelling and grammar errors, and the writing just plain doesn't make sense in places. A full copyedit is needed for B. Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 13:19, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

• Mention SSHS in the lead when you say C1

• Done--12george1 (talk) 03:28, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

• You mention low wind shear and warm waters in the lede that allowed for strengthening, but that's not in the MH. Why not?

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 03:28, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

• "It became one of the few hurricane to be seen on radar over 150 mi (240 km) from the continental United States." - clarify at the time, since radar might have changed since then

• "Thereafter, the storm weakened slightly, and was downgraded into a Category 3 hurricane." - when?

• September 20, 1673 :P --12george1 (talk) 03:28, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

• The lede says Gladys merged with a large ET, but the MH doesn't mention the size. How come?

• Hmm, I guess size does matter :P --12george1 (talk) 03:28, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

• "for the now defunct" - add dash between now and defunct

• Fixed--12george1 (talk) 03:28, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

• "Although initially expected to not threaten land,[6] when Gladys neared the East Coast of the United States, meteorologists at the NHC forecast the storm to make landfall within three days;[7] a hurricane watch was issued for North Carolina's Outer Banks,[8] extending from Cape Lookout to Kitty Hawk." - this could be split into two sentences. The first one should be reorganized, as the structure isn't the most concise.

• Anything else about the waves? IMO, the bit about the waves in NC should be moved to the preps paragraph, where you already mention the fishermen defying warnings.

• Unfortunately, there wasn't anything more. But I did fix the second part, I think-12george1 (talk) 03:28, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

• "Despite warnings to fishermen, 40 of them went to Cape Point near Cape Hatteras due to the "increased feeding activities" of fish during rough seas." - I'd change "them" to fishermen", and just start off with "Despite warnings,"

• [1] - there isn't much here, but there is a bit more Canada impact

All in all, it's pretty good. This shouldn't take too long to do. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:55, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
