List of storms in the 2002 Atlantic hurricane season

• A script has been used to generate a semi-automated review of the article for issues relating to grammar and house style; it can be found on the automated peer review page for October 2008.

I've listed this article for peer review because this needs to be audited for quality for a current FT nomination, and possible instability related to a discussion at WT:WPTC prevents it from becoming featured at the moment. Thanks, –Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 14:55, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

• "2002 Atlantic hurricane season" should not be bolded, it's not the page title.
  • The 2002 Atlantic hurricane season is still the topic of the page, so it seems it should still be bolded. –Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 17:34, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
    • "However, if the title of a page is descriptive and does not appear verbatim in the main text, then it should not be in boldface."—From Wikipedia:Lead_section#Format. Dabomb87 (talk) 21:12, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
      • Alright, I removed the bolding. –Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 21:13, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
• Check dash spacing in the dates, dates like "July 14 – 16" should be: "July 14–16".
  • Actually, per WP:MOSDASH, items with a space within either or both of them should contain an enspaced en dash. –Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 17:34, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
• "October 14 - 16"—Hyphen needs to be an en dash, and like I said, should not have spaces.
  • En dash added. –Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 17:34, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
• "The season ended early, with no tropical storms forming after September 21." Awkward.
• "and it ties 2007 for the"—Change 2007 to "the 2007 season" so that it doesn't look like a solitary low-value year link.
• This is a matter of personal preference, but I think that the lead sentence should be split up: from "The 2002 Atlantic hurricane season was an average Atlantic hurricane season, officially starting on June 1, 2002, and ending on November 30."-->"The 2002 Atlantic hurricane season was an average Atlantic hurricane season. It officially started on June 1, 2002 and ended on November 30." Tell me if you like that.
• "the bounds of the season are from June 1 to November 30" Why is this information repeated?
