I'm happy to review this article. Amitchell125 (talk · contribs) 21:03, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
Assessment edit
Lead section edit
Júcaro links to 'Venezuela, Cuba' - is that correct? (minor point)
mi needs to be written in full (miles) each time it occurs in the article.
The image in the infobox was produced by NAOO, perhaps they should be credited. (minor point)
Meteological history edit
Link 'barometric' (possibly)
- Reference 2 (USNHC) makes no sense to me at all - your mistake or my ignorance?
- This part of a template. The "United States" part might not be completely necessary. It's simply "National Hurricane Center"--12george1 (talk) 22:42, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
- Probably on a minor point, but I still don't get it - when I check the reference, it leads to is a lot of tabulated figures - is that what you see, and if so, what does it mean? Amitchell125 (talk) 05:53, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
Prepations and impact edit
...were reported. - by whom?
Change ...killed a girl and injured injured two men… to 'killed a girl, and injured two men'.
- Are all the words in quotation marks ("tremendous equinoctial storm" and "terrific force") actual quotations? The source of the words should be given if they are.
- Those quotations are available in Louisiana Hurricane History by David Roth. [1] He cites Wade, Michael G. (the last citation on the last page) for that information. I'm not sure if Wade himself said those things or if an actual survivor said that because Wade's publication isn't freely available online--12george1 (talk) 22:42, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
- Minor point, but I would consider removing the quote marks, as you are not sure that they were spoken by someone, and imo they look in the article as if they were. Amitchell125 (talk) 05:53, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
the Beardstown sunk - It would be useful to know what kind of a ship/boat the Beardstown was.
Page numbers are needed for references 1 and 4 throughout the article.
This section also has text that gives the appearance of being quotations. Who said "terrific gale", "forests just cut down" and "taking almost everything within its reach"?
Consider replacing downed with 'brought down' (ignore if 'downed' is correct in American English).
Lots of 'several's in the article - if you can, be more specific.
Please delete On Mustang Island, several chickens roosting in the trees drowned. as being a little 'unencyclopaedic'.
Consider improving the prose by changing Effective October 1, 1875, hurricane warning flags were to be hoisted to 'From October 1, 1875, hurricane warning flags were hoisted…'
Reference 5 - Can you have 2 newspapers here?
Reference 8 needs to include the page number - p. 22.
See also edit
Can there be an explanation for why the first 3 links are included?
Not much that needs to be sorted here. I am placing the article on hold, for a week, but I am on holiday from tomorrow until 27 September - I'll check things as soon as I am back home. Amitchell125 (talk) 20:22, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
Passed edit
Passing this now, many thanks for your fast work and for what you've done to the article. The couple of point still not quite sorted don't stop it being a GA. Amitchell125 (talk) 06:10, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
