I was reviewing this Noah and had an edit conflict. Consider the review finished ;) ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:40, 15 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
I don't think I've ever see 2 people try to review the same GAN at the same time in my 11 years editing. YE Pacific Hurricane 17:11, 17 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
Which is why my edit conflict was so unexpected XD ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:56, 22 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
I changed the reviewer to @Hurricanehink:, but left the timestamp as 19:38 as that was when the page was officially created. NoahTalk 20:06, 17 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
  • The first system, a subtropical storm, developed in the Gulf of Mexico on May 21, several days before the official start of the season. - this should be mentioned earlier when you mention the dates of the season.
  • A total of 21 tropical cyclone formed - first, grammar (cyclones), and second, is it 21 tropical, or 21 tropical/subtropical?
  • When you mention the seasonal activity compared to normal, your usage of "near" and "slightly above" is odd. 10 is "near normal" compared to 9.6, but 6 is "slightly above" 5.9, while 3 is "near" 2.3. Technically it's correct, but it's something odd that I noticed.
  • with the final cyclone became extratropical on October 28 - grammar
  • Just one fully tropical storm developed in the Gulf of Mexico and none in the Caribbean Sea. - why not mention Dottie here?
  • 'The storm spawned nine tornadoes in Florida,[17] one of which destroyed 6 mobile homes and damaged 40 others; demolished 6 large chicken houses; and severely damaged a paint plant in Hillsborough County - you should mention the location of the damaging tornado sooner
  • Mention SS1's peak rainfall in prose. Also, any impacts outside of Florida? (not that you'd be able to check NCDC due to the #trumpshutdown
  • After merging the low merged with a polar trough on July 28 - let's merge!!
  • At 02:00 UTC, the ship M.S. Pointe Allegre observed a barometric pressure of 999 mbar (29.5 inHg) and wind gusts as high as 69 mph (111 km/h).[22] The cyclone peaked with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (75 km/h) at 12:00 UTC on July 30. Curving east-northeastward, the system also acquired tropical characteristics, with a transition to Tropical Storm Anna becoming complete about six hours later - did the ship observation lead to the storm being reclassified as tropical? If so, please re-write this section. It all happened on the same day, so the prose could be streamlined.
  • the depression strengthened into a tropical storm on August 7 - mention Belle here, so the name is established when you say it later
  • You mentioned $1 million in Canadian damage from Belle in the lead, but not in the section, so make sure you add it here (as well as other Canadian impacts)
  • By 06:00 UTC on August 20, the cyclone intensified into a hurricane. - ordinarily I wouldn't ask, but considering the high latitude, could you add how far the storm was from Nova Scotia here? Or perhaps mention the latitude? Candice was one of only a few storms to attain hurricane status north of 40N. Your call
  • What caused Emmy to turn to the northwest and then back to the east? It's an unusual track
  • While moving west-northwestward at about 12 mph (19 km/h), an upper-tropospheric cold low pressure began approaching the wave, causing cloud features associated with the system to become better organized by September 23. - what? It's a little jargony
  • A depression then developed near the middle of the Gulf of Mexico on September 22. Tracking northward, the depression made landfall in southeastern Louisiana with winds of 30 mph (45 km/h) late on September 24, before quickly dissipating over Mississippi. - any impacts with this depression?
  • Could you add the relevant refs to the season effects table?

All in all a decent article, and just a bit more work needs to be done for me to pass it as a GA. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:40, 15 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
