This article needs some love. The three major hurricanes are the ones that have the least detail, quite backwards from what it should be. — jdorje ( talk) 21:49, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
Why the title of the unnamed storm is thirteen and not unnamed or six. juan andrés 03:43, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
Here's a page with information on each of the tropical depressions that did not become tropical storms. Hurricanehink ( talk) 17:15, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
Seems to me that with all the damage TD 1 caused, it should have it's own article. Juliancolton 16:23, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Ok. I found a little more info on it, but I will look for more. I think you are right about there not being enough info for a seperate article. Juliancolton 16:34, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
If there is enough info could I creat this article? Juliancolton ( talk) 23:30, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations. It passes all criteria. Sorry you left Good Kitty, You did such a good job with the article). Mitch 32 contribs 23:34, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
A big white space appears in the article between Tropical Depression Fifteen and Tropical Storm Isaac. I'd suggest moving things around a bit to reduce this space. I didn't move them because I wasn't sure what the <div style="clear: both"></div> was for or whether meddling might undo the stacking of the infoboxes. I'm sure a solution to this white-space problem exists.
I had a couple of other questions I couldn't resolve on my own. In the Tropical Depression One section, this phrase appears: "... killing a total of 37 people, including three others from electrocution." The word "others" made me wonder whether the total was 40. Or should the word "others" be deleted? My other question involves Tropical Depression Five. If TD Five "degenerated into a tropical wave" on August 26, what does it mean to say, "... the remnants had already redeveloped on August 30, about 180 miles (290 km) southwest of North Carolina"? What did they redevelop into?
Except for these three things, I don't see anything else. That doesn't mean nobody else will find anything, but I believe this article to be in good shape. Best of luck with the FAC. Finetooth ( talk) 04:12, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
User:Tony1 was right about the semicolons in or near the lead and about the proliferation of questionable commas throughout. I may have added a fair percentage of those commas myself when I set off little sentence-opening phrases like "On August 5" with commas. They don't seem necessary and probably slow readers down for no good reason. I removed them. I also altered a fair number of other sentences to reduce the number of phrases tacked onto the ends of sentences with commas. Finetooth ( talk) 22:26, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

The summary for Tropical Storm Chris says that Chris become extratropical over South Carolina. However, the map doesn't show any transition to an extratropical system and instead uses circles for all of Chris's path. Is the summary wrong, or should the map use triangles for some of the track?
