• "Greater than 6 total" how do we know it was more than 6? YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 23:08, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
  • It's detailed in the note. All passengers except the captain and his crew member died, but an exact count isn't available. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 01:13, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
• "Mind adding more impact to lead somehow? I know it's kinda hard with these sort of systems, but still, some specifics like maybe the tow injuries would be nice.YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}
  • Not sure that changes much, I think it's fine as is, but I mentioned the two injuries. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 01:13, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
• "The origin of the 1827 North Carolina hurricane is unclear in the absence of reliable data across the Atlantic Ocean, but it is surmised the storm began as a classic Cape Verde hurricane." I'd plug a link into Atlantic hurricane or tropical cyclone basins in here. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 23:08, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
  • I already linked to Cape Verde hurricane, no need. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 01:13, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
• "while other reports suggested that storm tides surpassed 10 feet (3.0 m) above normal levels" link to storm surge. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 23:08, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Surge =/= tide. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 01:13, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
• "Outside the city, the hurricane widened the Masonboro Sound by at least 0.5 miles (0.80 km) and destroyed several of the accompanied saltworks. " link to Masonboro Sound Historic District here. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 23:08, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Why? That's something completely different. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 01:13, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
• "The cotton and tobacco crops did not fare so well" maintain a NPOV here. So well to whom? I think you mean it suffered severe damage. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 23:08, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
  • This was discussed off Wiki. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 01:13, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
    • Lol this was my bad. I just wasn't use to that wording. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 01:18, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
• "A two-story building on Talbot Street in Norfolk had its second floor carried downwind," is this really worth noting? YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 23:08, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Yes. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 01:13, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
• "A brick building was destroyed, a team boat was sunk at its wharf," ditto. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 23:08, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Yes. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 01:13, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
• "Heavy rainfall and gale-force winds were recorded within Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Cape Cod.[4]" something just doesn't sound right with "within". Maybe try "across"? YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 23:08, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Changed to "throughout" TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 01:13, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
• Mention the six deaths in the body somewhere. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 23:09, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
  • They're detailed by incident already. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 01:13, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
