GA Review edit
These are some of the reasons that I failed this article:
- There are Spelling errors in the lead.
- There are WP:ACCESS violations at every opportunity, and are especially egregious in the lead.
- The article is short to the point that it may not be comprehensive.
- The explanation of Dvorak T-numbers is clumsy and probably unnecessary.
- Other instances of jargon (i.e. deep convection) are unlinked and unexplained.
- The citations are bare.
The Reference heading is a casual "Refs", and External links has been abbreviated to "Links".- There is no "See also" section, which may or may be justified.
I would continue, but I think these are sufficient grounds. Plasticup T/C 20:57, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
Mabey I can fix this up a little. Add see Also, an External links, and a references section.Leave Message orYellow Evan home
- You have fixed one of the many problems. That is good, but this article is still a long way from Good Article status. Plasticup T/C 03:40, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Plagiarism edit
I've removed most of the Impact and forecasting section because it was an obvious copy directly from the TCR. This article also needs improved referencing. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 16:22, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
- The TCR is in the public domain, so we can copy it directly so long as we provide attribution. But it is still really tacky. It should be re-worded at the very least. Plasticup T/C 16:56, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
I reverted it because the TCR is in the Public Domain. Leave Message orYellow Evan home 13:50, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- Just because it's in the PD doesn't mean you should copy and paste it into the article. I strongly recommend you do your own research and rewrite the article from scratch. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 15:32, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
