Hello User:Yellow Evan, I am going to be reviewing this article tonight. You expressed urgency for it to be reviewed, as this effects a GT. So anyway, the following are issues I have with passing this article and listing it as a Good Article.--12george1 (talk) 02:19, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Wow, just this! Thanks for the review. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 02:44, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

• "Within favorable conditions aloft, the storm intensified into a tropical storm" - I think it should be just "With favorable conditions", because it wasn't inside the favorable conditions. Not like "a tropical wave within the ITCZ".
  • Yea, it was actually. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 02:44, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
• "The following day, Manuel curved westward and strengthened to a point just shy of hurricane intensity before making its first landfall at that intensity." - Might want to throw a date in here somewhere, because (1. we are talking about two days here and (2. you are also assuming the reading knows what date "The following day" is referring to.
  • Noted. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 02:44, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
• "additional impacts from Atlantic Hurricane Ingrid. After its" - I think you should wikilink Atlantic hurricane here, unless you want to practice basinism :P
  • I practice EPACism. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 02:44, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
• "There, 20,000 persons were evacuated to shelter." - I think you need to add an "a" between "to" and "shelter".
• Wow, I am completely satisfied with the MH, Preps, Impact, and Aftermath!

  • D :D :DD No kidding. 02:44, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

• On reference #1, change "Pasch, Richard J; Zelinsky, David A" to "Richard J. Pasch; David A. Zelinsky. Also, why isn't the National Hurricane Center on there?
  • Did both. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 02:44, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
• Looking down further at reference #9 and #10, it looks like Richard Pasch and David Zelinsky lost their middle initial.
  • You can blame Hink, he wrote the MH when he was active. Think of this positively, it set him up to do other TC articles. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 02:44, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
• On reference #11, John Cangialosi's middle initial is "P."
  • Noted. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 02:44, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
• On references #35, #38, #46, #51, #52, #54, #65, #96, #98, and #106, you have the publisher as "Relief Web". It should be "ReliefWeb" - one word.
  • Fixed. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 02:44, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
• Reference #92 is a deadlink. Replace the url with this one and archive it.
  •  Done. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 02:44, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
• On reference #101, the title should start with a capital letter
  •  Done. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 02:44, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
• Good job, YE! I am now going to pass this article and list it as a GA. Btw, good luck in round 4 of the WikiCup. Congratulations,--12george1 (talk) 02:50, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
