I've listed this article for peer review because I want this article to get a successful FLC at some point in the future.

I would like to know why the timeline exists in the first place. The season wasn't that outstanding, meteorologically speaking, save the two retired storms. The season article handles the exact same content, but the season article is much clearer. I see multiple instances in the timeline where it is confusing. For example, Tropical Depression One is mentioned forming in the GoM, but the next item is Subtropical Depression One forming in the GoM. If I didn't know any better, I'd think there was an error, or that TD 1 became SD 1. Likewise with TD and SD 2. I really think the season article handles it better. ♬♩ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:02, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Dabomb87 (talk · contribs) Should this timeline survive, I have a couple notes:

  • "The 1974 Atlantic hurricane season is one of the deadliest Atlantic hurricane seasons with 6000+ dead" was the deadliest. We shouldn't be using phrases such as "6000+" in prose; suggest "more than 6000 dead".
  • Spaced en dashes, not hyphens, should be used to separate listed items:
    • "1200 UTC (7 a.m. CDT) - Tropical Depression One forms in the Gulf of Mexico."-->1200 UTC (7 a.m. CDT) – Tropical Depression One forms in the Gulf of Mexico.
  • "extratropical east ofNewfoundland, Canada" Typo.
  • Galveston, Texas is overlinked. And why make readers click on the link to find out that Galveston is in the United States?
  • Sentence fragments in the image captions should not have periods at the end. Dabomb87 (talk) 16:06, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
