 * "The 1959 Escuminac disaster (also to referred to as the Escuminac hurricane) is considered the worst fishing-related disaster in 100 years." - The worst fishing-related disaster in 100 years. Is that of a Nova Scotian, Canadian, or worldwide scale? Also, shouldn't the "is" be a "was"?
 * Added NB, and was. --♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 20:19, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
 * "Overall, losses in Florida were around $1.7 million (1959 USD)." - Wikilink "USD" to United States dollar.
 * Added. --♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 20:19, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
 * What about losses in Canada, they should be included in the lead and infobox. Use this for conversions, it will come in handy later in this article.
 * Good call, and good link! --♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 20:19, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
 * "the system dropped heavy rainfall across the state,[1] reaching 15 in (380 mm) in some areas and causing flooding." - 15 inches you say. But according to the rainfall map, it was only 13.04 inches.
 * Not sure. I added "unofficially" then due to the Storm data reporting less than HPC. --♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 20:19, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
 * "Along the coasts of New Brunwick and Prince Edward Island" - I think I need to retake geography, so where is "New Brunwick" located? :P
 * In Atlantic Canada near New Scoita and NFland (and the homeland of Alec Quebec). --♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 20:19, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
 * What happened to References #1 and #2? Why are the URLs exposed? Why are there no titles? Also, where is the accessdate on the latter reference.
 * Fixed. --♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 20:19, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
 * For Reference #7, add: |agency=United Press International
 * Fixed. --♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 20:19, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Nice work! You forgot to close the parenthesis for the money figure in the lede, but I fixed it for you. Anyway, I will now be passing this article. --12george1 (talk) 20:26, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
