Concerns about this article
Emphasis on cost in opening sentence
I am concerned that the opening sentence emphasizes the cost of the season. While that's a relevant metric, there are a number of relevant metrics, many of which dessert mention ahead of cost. In an article about a specific season, a reader may be interested to see how the season compares to other seasons. Measures such as:
- number of storms
- number of storms by strength
- number of storms making landfall
- aggregate intensity (ACE)
are all metrics that are comparable over time. While cost is important, and deserves mention in the lead, it shouldn't be the opening metric. It's not comparable over time, partly because it is a nominal, not real dollars, and it doesn't adjust for increased cost of material.S Philbrick(Talk) 13:34, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
Editing issues
The second sentence of season summaries starts
The first was considerably inactive
. after examining the edit history I think this resulted from botched editing and should say
The first half was considerably inactive
. However, while that change might be trivial, it begs the question of sourcing. What reliable source says that the first half of the year in 2019 was "considerably inactive"?S Philbrick(Talk) 13:40, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
- The biggest problem that this article suffers from is a lack of people who have the time, energy and experience to work it and the several sub-articles it so desperately needs. That is why you are seeing a lot of grammatical errors or errors where people have taken information directly from Facebook, satellite imagery, copied it from section to another without checking to ensure its true, etc etc. However, I maybe able to give it some love over the next few days.Jason Rees (talk) 15:52, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
- Jason Rees, that would be great. I have too many irons in the fire to spend much time on this, so I hope you can give it some of the attention it needs. S Philbrick(Talk) 15:51, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
