Will actually do the review when I'm on a better computer (around 4-5 hours from now) Keilana| Parlez ici 16:38, 5 April 2012 (UTC) reply

This article looks great! I just saw a couple minor things that could be fixed.

  • Why does your first reference show up as "nb 1"?
  • It is actually a note and not a reference-- 12george1 ( talk) 20:19, 7 April 2012 (UTC) reply
    • OK, I found it to be kind of awkward. Maybe it would be less awkward if you either put a simple explanation in parentheses (e.g. "it re-strengthened into a major hurricane (above Category 3) on September 28) or just linked to the relevant section of Saffir-Simpson scale.

  • Do you need to put "SST's" in parentheses? If you do, then it should be "SSTs" because it's a plural.
  • "it restrengthen into a major hurricane" should be "it restrengthened into a major hurricane"
  • "very cold could tops", did you mean "cloud tops"?
  • Throughout the article, I would find it helpful to have more wikilinks. I don't have a background in meteorology, so when you're using the terminology (which is great), I have to look all sorts of things up, and I think the average reader would have to do the same.
  • Can you name any specific terms you would like wikilinked?-- 12george1 ( talk) 20:19, 7 April 2012 (UTC) reply
  • Stuff like "convection", "wind shear", "tropospheric", "anticyclone", etc. Keilana| Parlez ici 04:24, 8 April 2012 (UTC) reply
  • Did the UK do anything to prepare for the storm? If so, that would be useful information.
  • Probably not. Usually locations do not prepare for a storm if it is already extratropical.-- 12george1 ( talk) 20:19, 7 April 2012 (UTC) reply
  • This is quite well sourced. Nice job!

I'll keep an eye on this page, and can't wait to see it get promoted! :) You did excellent work here. Keilana| Parlez ici 15:19, 7 April 2012 (UTC) reply

One more thing I noticed: in the last sentence, you don't need to say "a bird called the" about the blue-winged warbler. It would be way less clunky if you said something like "After Isaac passed the British Isles, a Blue-winged Warbler was seen for the first time in Europe."

Then in that case, I have no qualms about promoting this. :) Keilana| Parlez ici 18:06, 8 April 2012 (UTC) reply
