Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)}

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

Immediate Failures

• It is a long way from meeting any one of the six good article criteria -
• It contains copyright infringements -
• It has, or needs, cleanup banners that are unquestionably still valid. These include{{cleanup}}, {{POV}}, {{unreferenced}} or large numbers of {{citation needed}}, {{clarify}}, or similar tags. (See also {{QF-tags}}). -
• It is not stable due to edit warring on the page. -

Prose

Lede

• Short description? The one on Wikidata is huge! Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:41, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

• Added the standard one from other articles. Noah^Talk 00:55, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

• Could we fix the first sentence? It doesn't actually say what the article is about Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:41, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

• What would you suggest? This is similar to other season articles. See 2005 Atlantic hurricane season and 2006 Pacific hurricane season as examples. Noah^Talk 16:12, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

• Does "most-active" mean most named storms? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:41, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

• Changed the sentence. Noah^Talk 00:55, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

• (Bud, Olivia, Nineteen-E, Rosa, Walaka, Sergio, Vicente, and Willa) - seems like general prose info. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:41, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

• Axed that bit. Noah^Talk 16:22, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

• The season officially began on May 15 in the eastern Pacific, and on June 1 in the central Pacific; they both ended on November 30 - this is cited - can we cite in body instead? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:41, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

• Done. Noah^Talk 01:13, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

• Have we got a link for Category 5? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:41, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

• Added. Noah^Talk 00:55, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

General

• Might need to come up with a better style for the subsections in "systems" (maybe by location or month), and use {{TOC limit}}. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:44, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

• This can't be done without consensus as it would affect every season article worldwide. Noah^Talk 15:59, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

• I feel the article (like the lead) is missing a senetnce/paragraph about what the article is about. We can't just expect readers to know what we are talking about from the title. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:44, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

• Addressing this at the first mention above. Noah^Talk 01:16, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

• near- to above-average season - is this a quote? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:44, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

• It is changed from the source a bit. Noah^Talk 01:16, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
