Sorry Storm05, but a good storm history doesn't mean the article should stay. I vote for a merge. Hurricanehink 16:07, 19 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

There's basically no notable information here. Jdorje 23:14, 19 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
Is it alright if I sharpen my axe? Hurricanehink 00:15, 20 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
Yep. BTW, destruction the storm did while a tropical wave should not count in the total I think. Jdorje 01:11, 20 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
Merged. Hurricanehink 02:05, 20 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi, TAM. I'll take this one. Cloudchased (talk) 19:47, 6 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

  • I fixed some, but not all, of my concerns with this edit. Feel free to make changes or object to them.
    • Checked over the fixes, though I objected to "faded into the ambient environment" being changed into "fading the ambient environment" which doesn't make sense to me. TheAustinMan(Talk·Works) 20:24, 6 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
  • "dissipated into a remnant disturbance" is redundant.
  • "Heavy rainfall also took place" is a bit awkward. Maybe "The storm also produced heavy rainfall..." could work?
  • "Additional rainfall in Mexico after Arlene became a tropical cyclone severely impacted" → "After Arlene became a tropical cyclone, rainfall in Mexico inundated"
  • "Rainfall from Arlene interacted with a passing cold front to produce showers further northeast" – this seems to imply that the rainfall itself (i.e., raindrops) interacted with the cold front. Reword?
  • "Despite developing into a tropical cyclone" – the "despite" is strange here, and the sentence (or paragraph) could probably be reworded to remove it easily.
    •   Done - Looks like
  • What's with the <small> "(NHC)"?
  • "after as many as 4,000 homes were flooded, impacting roughly 10,000 people" – make sure that "impacting" refers to the homes, not the emergency plans (though both are true by extension)
    •   Done - Reworded.
  • "Arlene tracked over several offshore oil platforms as it tracked" – scratch one of the "tracked"s
    •   Done - Exchanged one of the tracked for passed
  • "along Padre Island, breaching sections of the barrier island" – er, but, Padre Island is a barrier island. Reword?
  • "losses to... for... of" – please just pick one. :P
    •   Done - Reworded
  • "Similar impacts occurred in the Corpus Christi area" – impacts as in deploying boats? (Read the previous sentence.) :P
    •   Done - Switched up with "Urban flooding"

Nice work! Just a few things left to fix, and once that's happened I'll pass this. \o/ Cloudchased (talk) 19:47, 6 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

  • Thanks for the comments, I believe I fixed all of the qualms mentioned, but feel free to check again. TheAustinMan(Talk·Works) 20:24, 6 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
