Comments
I can't get Polo's image. juan andrés 19:09, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * What about this image of it as a tropical depression? It beats nothing. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 19:22, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. I have finally added Polo's paragraph. If I got something mistaken, or if it missed something, feel free to edit my changes! juan andrés 04:59, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I was the annon user that starts with 201.143... Remember, if you think that Polo's paragraph needs something, feel free to edit it! juan andrés 05:01, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Now Aka was added. I think the only remaining are the depressions. juan andrés 05:40, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

It's at least start class now. Sources are needed for the remaining sections, and depressions are needed as well. Hurricanehink ( talk ) 19:28, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

TODO
Expand the Season Summary and add the depressions, 4 Eastern Pacific and 1 Central Pacific. Add sources to these remaining sections juan andrés 20:25, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Depressions added. Only need to expand season summary. juan andrés 01:14, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Season summary expanded. If its there something missing you can put it here at TODO. juan andrés 02:18, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

checked and corrected spelling and grammar errors. Now what does this article need to bump it up to GA-class at least? juan andrés 03:11, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

copy-edit from Marie to Vance. 201.143.222.207 06:31, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

copyedit finished. I think this article is ready for GA-class. juan andrés 22:10, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

GA nominee
Final revisions made to the article. juan andrés 22:18, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

GA review

 * 1) 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
 * 1) 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
 * 1) Broad in coverage - Pass
 * 2) Non POV - Pass
 * 3) Stable - Pass
 * 4) 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)

Missing Storm
I don't know who overlooked this and passed the GA, but the season is missing a storm. - HurricaneSpin    (Talk)  20:21, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
