Talk:1990 Pacific hurricane season/GA3

GA Review
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.''

I can't be the reviewer, but I can make comments. Many of your edits used exact figures for mi, km, or km/hr, which isn't going to fly within the project. Everything should be rounded to the nearest 5, per project standards. This was one of the reasons why GAN wasn't attempted sooner by myself. Granted, the wording needed to be improved, but that was a simple matter compared to the units and rounding. I had mistakenly used nm (which NHC uses mind you), when statute miles (to the nearest 5) should have been used. I'd fix this before someone reviews the article, or it's going to fail all the same.

However, I will be reviewing the article.

Nice article, but I have some comments.


 * "Hurricane Alma became the third earliest tropcial cyclone since the satellite era began in 1966, while Trudy is the third strongest October eastern Pacific hurricane on record. Overall, the impact of this season was minimal." Check this record please. Is the record for EPAC or EPAC/CPAC? Does the record include storms prior to 1949?
 * Added it as EPAC record--12george1 (talk) 04:14, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * "The season's tropical cyclones all developed from westward-moving African tropical waves. The season established several tropical storm records for this basin and was marked by several strong hurricanes." too many the seasons in a row, you might want to change one of "the seasons" to "1990" or "this year"
 * Re-worded on the earlier example--12george1 (talk) 04:14, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * "Rachel was the only system to make landfall. One tropical storm formed in the Central Pacific and eventually crossed the dateline before dissipating" what dateline?
 * Changed to "International Dateline"--12george1 (talk) 04:14, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * "Outer rainbands from the storm produced moderate rain in several Mexican states. Boris' remnants brought rain to the Southwest. Despite causing the wettest June in San Diego since records began in 1850, not even one in of rain fell at that location.[9][10] However, rain was reported as far east as Wyoming. The storm brought heavy rain to Utah. Boris also produced some rain in Nevada peaking at Lund.[11] In addition, The winds in the eyewall of Boris ripped off the sails of the Azure Dream sailboat. No other direct damages or casualties were reported from Boris." This paragraph could use a copyedit
 * Better?--12george1 (talk) 01:52, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
 * "A tropical wave emerged into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa on May 28. It crossed the Atlantic Ocean with minimal development as it moved westward" unrelated info, see second GAN.
 * Removed--12george1 (talk) 04:14, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * "Tropical Depression Cristina moved west-northwestward with the low-level flow." No need for "tropical depression" in the sentence.
 * Erased tropical depression--12george1 (talk) 04:14, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * "A tropical wave moved off the northwest coast of Africa on June 5. It continued westward across the tropical North Atlantic and Caribbean Sea without significant development" unrelated info, see second GAN.
 * Removed--12george1 (talk) 04:14, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * "A tropical wave came off the coast of Africa into the eastern Atlantic Ocean on June 10 and 11. The system moved across the Atlantic and entered into the northeastern Pacific Ocean.[20]" unrelated info, see second GAN.
 * Removed--12george1 (talk) 04:14, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * "After convection began to merge into the ITCZ, the National Hurricane Center discontinued advisories on Tropical Depression Six-E, stating that the depression dissipated, and regeneration seemed unlikely." What is the ITCZ? non-weather geeks will not know.
 * Unabbreviated and wikilinked the first use of "ITCZ"--12george1 (talk) 04:14, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * "A tropical wave came off the northwest coast of Africa on June 19. The wave crossed the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea," no need for this, if I were you i'd remove all of the similar sentences.
 * Removed--12george1 (talk) 04:14, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * "Hernan continued to strengthen and as it passed while 145 mi (230 km) southwest of Clarion Island, and 253 mi (405 km) south-southwest of Socorro Island." no need for two distances from one location.
 * Removed second distance--12george1 (talk) 04:14, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * There are no distances in Iselle's section
 * Added distances to Iselle's section--12george1 (talk) 01:52, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
 * "Due to its nearness of the hurricane to its west, the development of the depression was hindered due to vertical wind shear from the outflow of Hernan." "nearness" should be change to "close distance" IMO.
 * Switched words--12george1 (talk) 04:14, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * "Tropical Storm Aka was the only tropical storm to form in the central North Pacific during 1990" Why is "central" is not capitalized.
 * Done--12george1 (talk) 04:14, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * A track map is needed in Diana's section.
 * Added map--12george1 (talk) 04:14, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * "A persistent area of thunderstorm activity southwest of Puerto Vallarta became better organized and strengthened into Tropical Depression 12-E on August 17"If I were you, I'd spell out "12-E" to be consistent.
 * Spelled out--12george1 (talk) 04:14, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Any information from discussions could be use din Julio's section.
 * "Vice-versa to later predictions, Norbert absorbed Tropical Depression Eighteen-E later that day." "Vice-versa" should be changed to "unlike".
 * Changed--12george1 (talk) 04:14, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Since there is a sub-article, extra details from Rachael's section could be cut.
 * Better?--12george1 (talk) 01:52, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Any info form discussions available for Trudy?
 * "The formation of Vance, the season's 20th tropical storm, made 1990 the busiest season since 1985.[1]" should be removed IMO as this is trivia.
 * Removed--12george1 (talk) 04:14, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
