Season summary? Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 13:25, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think that's why it's not up for GAN/GAC/good article nominations quite yet. Thegreatdr (talk) 21:36, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No, I don't see a need for a season summary, given the season is summarized in the lede. Splitting off a season summary would be redundant. I just wanted to give it a day after I published it. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:45, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It does make sense for the season summary to be the lead instead of another subsection. I ran into this problem when submitting my first season article GA (1981 Atlantic hurricane season) within the past month. Why should the season summary be repeated multiple times within the same article? Thegreatdr (talk)
Completely agreed. If there was enough activity, or the season had some records, than a season summary section would be warranted. Otherwise, I don't see too much of a need to have a separate season summary. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:55, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The project page has been updated for the production of season articles, with the text "preferably in the lead" added. Thegreatdr (talk) 21:56, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Pass/Fail:
Overall a decent article. However, it's not in any category. The prose is quite rough; I stopped after the lead, and I suggest a thorough copyedit of the article. For example: "Five tropical cyclones were reported during the season, the earliest of which was first observed on August 19 and the latest of which dissipated on October 11. These dates fall within the range of most Atlantic tropical cyclone activity." After discussing the dates, you add a short, abrupt sentence about the normal range of hurricane activity. The next sentence, " None of the cyclones existed simultaneously with another." is quite rough. Can you smooth out the sentence? Just to remind again—these are only examples; the entire article needs copyediting. Maxim(talk) 15:06, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Categories added. Hurricanehink and I copyedited the article somewhat, so it should be good enough to pass now. Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 16:01, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Pass. Well done! :-) Maxim(talk) 23:26, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
