"The sixteenth tropical cyclone, tenth hurricane, and fifth major hurricane of the season" link which season. You clarify it's 2012 in the previous sentence, so you could just pipe it if you want
- Piped. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 17:05, 4 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
"several hundred miles south of the coastline of Mexico on October 13" - since it's the lead and you don't have to go into too much detail, why not "south of the Mexican coast on October 13"?
- Well, it was west, looking at the track :P But fixed. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 17:07, 4 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
Add SSHS when you say "Category 3 hurricane" in the lead
- Done. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 17:05, 4 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
You should mention in the lead when and where Paul made its closest point of approach to land. In the MH paragraph of the lead, you just say "land interaction"
- Noted. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 17:05, 4 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
"and remained poorly organized across the remainder of its trek across the Caribbean Sea and Central America" - avoid saying "across" twice. The second one should be "through"
- That works, done. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 17:05, 4 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
Is all of the beginning of the 3rd MH paragraph really cited to ref 8? It doesn't say anything about it becoming TS Paul six hours after designation, and it doesn't say that the upper-level low put a break in the ridge.
- It should be the TCR. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 17:05, 4 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
"In addition, a series of microwave passes late in evening" - what is a microwave pass? Did the storm go into a microwave? And what evening?
- Linked, but not sure if this works. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane
Either mention SSHS when you say "Category 1 hurricane", or just say "Paul was upgraded to hurricane status"
- Noted SSHWS. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 17:05, 4 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
"Cabo San Lucas, Mexico." - so, the first time you mention CSL, you don't say Mexico, but the second time you do. Try switching that around+
- That's what I get for trusting TAWX. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 17:05, 4 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
  - I resent this statement. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 05:24, 5 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
"Punta Eugenia" link
- Linked. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 17:05, 4 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
"Paul was upgraded to a major hurricane, Category 3 on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, the fifth of the season, at 1800 UTC" - on what day?!
- July 13 :P Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 17:05, 4 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
Could you say how close Paul passed within the Baja California peninsula as a tropical cyclone?
Watch for overlinking in the preps section
- Better? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 17:05, 4 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
"1.98 in (50 mm) fell" - of what? Cake?!
- 4th of July cake :P Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 17:05, 4 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
"Roughly 500 residents in Comondú were evacuated to shelter." - why isn't this in the preps section?
- This is actually. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 17:05, 4 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
"In Loreto, significant destruction occurred and many residents were rendered homeless. Two creeks overflowed their banks, destroying several homes." - why not mention this when you already mention the damage in Loreto?
- The above few sentences are strictly about damage to roads. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 17:05, 4 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
" due to a combination of nearly a years worth" - it should be year's
- Good call. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane
Can the 4th and 5th impact paragraphs be merged with the third one?
- No, but I merged the 4th and 5th. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 17:05, 4 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
"A total of 495 people were taken to shelters, including 93 in Ciudad Insurgentes and 300 in San Carlos." - again, why no preps?
- Looking at the article, it appears it wasn't. I say "were taken" for a reaosn :P Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 17:05, 4 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
MX2 - MX$2
- Whoops. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 17:05, 4 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

All in all, pretty good read! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 16:42, 4 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
