I'll review this now.


 * Neat (and timely) opening sentence!! Might I suggesting using this source? Right now, it has the March 2011 as the date (for the season summary part where you properly ref it).
 * Fixed. It also worked as a more up-to-date source for ACE.--12george1 (talk) 23:22, 1 April 2014 (UTC)


 * " It was an average season" - this directly contradicts the opening sentence.
 * Better?--12george1 (talk) 23:22, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Eh, but later in the article it says the number of storms was above average, based on the 1950-2000 avg. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 04:06, 2 April 2014 (UTC)


 * "Debbie then brushed Ireland as a Category 1 hurricane shortly before becoming extratropical. " - that suggests it struck Ireland while tropical, which contradicts the main article
 * Fixed--12george1 (talk) 23:22, 1 April 2014 (UTC)


 * "resulting in a total of twelve deaths."
 * Fixed--12george1 (talk) 23:22, 1 April 2014 (UTC)


 * "It was an above average season in which eleven tropical depressions formed" - do you know that there were no TD's that weren't in HURDAT?
 * Fixed--12george1 (talk) 23:22, 1 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Does HURDAT really prove that the unnamed TS "initially went unnoticed"? I'd like more confirmation.
 * Fixed--12george1 (talk) 23:22, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
 * But did it go unnoticed? Or was it treated as a TD? ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 04:06, 2 April 2014 (UTC)


 * "Later that day, the final system, Tropical Storm Inga..." - this implies Inga formed on the 8th. Is that right?
 * Fixed--12george1 (talk) 23:22, 1 April 2014 (UTC)


 * " Subtropical cyclones, such as the first storm, are excluded from the total" - Anna was subtropical?
 * Fixed--12george1 (talk) 23:22, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Were there any subtropical storms though? If not, why mention? ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 04:06, 2 April 2014 (UTC)


 * "on September 5, a shortwave forced the low northeastward" - the map suggests northwest track
 * It isn't talking about Betsy. I believe the sentence is referring to this low: "Another low-pressure area later formed in the trough..."--12george1 (talk) 23:22, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh, why bother mentioning the other low? You should clarify that this allowed the ridge to rebuild. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 04:06, 2 April 2014 (UTC)


 * How close did Betsy pass near Bermuda?
 * Not close enough :P --12george1 (talk) 23:22, 1 April 2014 (UTC)


 * " became a major hurricane after reaching Category 3 intensity" - but MH = C3, so that's redundant
 * Fixed--12george1 (talk) 23:22, 1 April 2014 (UTC)


 * How strong was Carla at landfall?
 * Fixed--12george1 (talk) 23:22, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

All in all, pretty good! Just clarify these few things and I'll be happy to pass. ♫ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 18:27, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Why don't you include Carla's ET history? For that matter, ditto with Betsy, and probably other storms.
 * Any Canada impact for Carla? What about Frances?
