I'll review this article shortly. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 03:27, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
Here are the issues I found, now that work is done:

Tropical Storm Four says the track is unknown, yet the infobox picture shows the track quite clearly; I'm confused by the disparity.
Ref #1 is showing the publisher= thing on screen; fix that.
Only two issues I found. I'll put this on hold and will pass it when the issues are fixed. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 02:29, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the review. I fixed the second thing. As for TS 4, it says the entire track is unknown, which is true. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  02:37, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
When I read that the entire track is unknown, then it implies in my mind that we don't know anything about it; the storm above it uses the same language yet has no track at all, which contributes to this confusion. I'd reword it to 'parts of the track or unknown' to make it clearer. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 02:41, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
I think it's not that important anyway, so I just removed that sentence in question. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  02:48, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
Okay. Article now passes GA status. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 02:51, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
Cool! Thanks a lot. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  02:57, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

From redirected 1860–1869 Atlantic hurricane seasons:


### September Gale, 1869
The article indicates:

6. A hurricane was first observed northeast of the Bahamas on September 7. It strengthened to a Category 3 on the 8th, and it retained that intensity until its Rhode Island landfall on the 9th. It dissipated over northern Maine that night. The hurricane caused a great deal of damage in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Maine, but only caused one reported death.

If this is truly the case, then I can provide the name of the individual - James Ewell Williamson.  My source is The Genealogies of Mayflower Families Volume 3 (1985 - available on Ancestry.com) is based off of the New England Historical and Genealogical Registers that were published in the 1920s.  Williamson's record indicates that he was drowned off the Grand Banks in the famous "September Gale," 8 Sept 1869 --Speedy47 08:02, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, we don't ever list the names of the deceased of tropical cyclones, unless I suppose they happen to kill someone famous. Hurricanehink (talk) 14:35, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
