 * Lead
 * "Hurricane Gabrielle caused nine fatalities in the United States and Canada, despite remaining hundreds of miles offshore" this sentence should not open the lead. Rather "Hurricane Gabrielle was a destructive tropical cyclone that caused nine fatalities in the United States and Canada, despite remaining hundreds of miles offshore." what do you think?
 * Actually, it wasn't technically "destructive", as it did not cause damage on land. However, would you agree to compromise with this: "Hurricane Gabrielle was a deadly tropical cyclone that caused nine fatalities in the United States and Canada, despite remaining hundreds of miles offshore"?--12george1 (talk) 23:57, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes I like that idea better. Best, Jona yo!  Selena 4 ever  20:43, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

 * FN#4, FN#5, FN#8, FN#13 author? date? link Syracuse Herald Journal how can the Associated Press be a publisher to this publication?
 * Linked Syracuse Herald Journal. By the way, the Associated Press is actually the author (well, in the case of "cite news" template, it is the "agency"), not the publisher (the publisher in this case is considered the "newspaper").--12george1 (talk) 23:57, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
 * FN#6 italicize The Intelligencer - publisher?
 * See comment directly above.--12george1 (talk) 23:57, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
 * FN#7 italicize The Fredrick Post, publisher?, author?, date?
 * See comment above, again. Also, I cannot recover the exact date, because it was originally a newspaper article that was scanned online and became a deadlink.--12george1 (talk) 23:57, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
 * FN#11 italicize The Capitol and link it, publisher?, author?, date?
 * Once again, see the comments above.--12george1 (talk) 23:57, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Passing the article since all issues have been addressed. Best, Jona yo!  Selena 4 ever  18:27, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
