message: # Well written
** Compelling prose - Neutral - Leaning towards fail due to a few quick examples I found. "A tropical wave that left Africa in late April emerged into the Atlantic Ocean on April 29." (doesn't it emerge into the Atlantic once it leaves Africa?) "1-E was" (avoid naming depressions by their number) "Shear increased and became bidirectional" (could be worded better) "The wave made an uneventful course" (do many tw's have an eventful course?). That's just in the first two storm summaries.
** Logical structure - Fail - First, the lede is a bit... dull. I thought the project agreed that the first sentence should give a general description of the article, not the boring technical stuff. Second, the storm sections aren't in the best order. Most other seasonal articles (at least those that are FA's) have one paragraph devoted to storm history and one for impact, though multiple sections have a bit of impact in the middle of the storm history.
** Manual of style - Pass
** Technical terms explained - Pass
# Factually accurate 
** References to all sources - Fail - Some important sections (ACE and summary) don't have references, and two storms have no references
** Inline citations - Pass
** Reliable sources - Pass
** No Original Research - Weak pass - Some important sections (ACE and summary) don't have references, so they could be OR
# Broad in coverage - Pass
# Non POV - Pass
# Stable - Pass
# Images - Pass
Another problem, there are next to no metric conversions. For these reasons, I failed the GA nomination. Once these issues are addressed, it could pass, as it has a good base right now. Hurricanehink (talk) 20:18, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
