 * "The 1927 Atlantic hurricane season was the first season since 1907 in which every tropical cyclone reached tropical storm intensity. " - source?
 * I had to replace the sentence because now it is false.--12george1 (talk) 02:02, 13 February 2016 (UTC)


 * "this storm resulted in between 173 and 192 deaths in Atlantic Canada, mostly from capsized and missing ships offshore" - the season infobox says "184+ deaths". Where is the extra nine coming from? Also, why the uncertainty in the number of deaths?
 * The infobox should say 173-192 as well. The uncertainty is because Environment Canada doesn't know the exact toll either.--12george1 (talk) 18:40, 12 February 2016 (UTC)


 * - two more TD's you didn't mention
 * Fixed--12george1 (talk) 18:41, 12 February 2016 (UTC)


 * You could use some more information in the lead, such as when the first and last storms were. It's a little too bare bones.
 * Fixed--12george1 (talk) 18:40, 12 February 2016 (UTC)


 * On what basis was H1's peak intensity?
 * Fixed--12george1 (talk) 18:40, 12 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Any more impact for H1 in New England? This is the only major land impacting storm of the year, so it would be good to get some info outside of Canada. If you do that, you can remove sentences like - "On land, Nova Scotia was impacted most significantly." - which don't add much, and which we can infer by the subsequent stats about the effects in Nova Scotia.
 * Done--12george1 (talk) 02:02, 13 February 2016 (UTC)


 * "Flooding also damaged numerous roads and swept away bridges making traveling difficult." - any concrete numbers? You can remove the last three words, again, it's inferred.
 * I know there has to be at least 17, but there is no exact or approximate number. Removed the last three words--12george1 (talk) 18:40, 12 February 2016 (UTC)


 * "while located about 190 mi (310 km) east of Sal in the Cape Verde Islands" - you don't have to be so specific. Just say "east of the Cape Verde islands" (note capitalization on "Islands").
 * Fixed--12george1 (talk) 18:40, 12 February 2016 (UTC)


 * When did H2 become extratropical? (did it?)
 * It looks like it may not have become extratropical. From meta: "Instead, the system is now reanalyzed to have remained a tropical cyclone until dissipation after 18 UTC on the 11th."--12george1 (talk) 18:40, 12 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Any idea why H3 moved so slowly? (or intensified so slowly)
 * Sorry, no further details about these either.--12george1 (talk) 18:40, 12 February 2016 (UTC)


 * "No property damage occurred in Beaufort, though many tree branches were felled in several neighborhoods of the city." - first part isn't necessary (you don't have to write about events that don't happen).
 * Fixed--12george1 (talk) 18:40, 12 February 2016 (UTC)


 * For TS 7, I would say that the devastating floods did (how many deaths or property damage), since the storm was tangentially related, and the article is on the short side.
 * Done--12george1 (talk) 18:40, 12 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Why no mention (per the meta data file) that the final storm was likely subtropical? That's good, valid info.
 * Done--12george1 (talk) 18:40, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

All in all a decent article, and my comments shouldn't take too long to address. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 18:53, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
