Throughout the article, none of the mbar units are converted to inHg. I would use the convert template.
"formed from Intertropical Convergence Zone disturbances." - I would note the Intertropical Convergence Zone is what ITCZ stands for, because there are some ITCZ acronyms appearing in the article, but no explanation as to what it is.
"All hurricanes were found to have had 85 mph (137 km/h) winds and with the exception of two tropical storms – Orla and Virginia – all storms were downgraded to peak intensities of 50 mph (80 km/h)" - This sentence is unsourced, and is missing a period at the end.
"intensified.becoming" - Add a space and capitalize "becoming".
"Dtaa based on satellite images," - typo
"No damages or casualties were ever reported due to Iva." - Unsourced; should probably just remove that sentence
"Orla was maintaining stability due to low-pressure baroclinical processes," - low-pressure is wikilinked to the wrong place
"At the time, Rebecca drew comparisons to Hurricane Daisy of 1961" - Hurricane Daisy was in 1962
"50 mi (80 km) winds and a central pressure of 1005 mbar. The reason the winds were set at 50 mi (80 km)" - 50 mi? You mean 50 mph?
"The same picture also showed a compact central dense overcast, a large mas of deep convection," - Typo; "a large mas of deep convection" -> "a large mass of deep convection".
"The reason is unknown." - I would just remove that sentence, since it will be hard to cite a source for it.
Add a citation for the list of names for the 1968 PHS.
"The Central Pacific used names and numbers from the Western Pacific's typhoon list. No systems formed in the area, and thus no names were required, although one storm, Virginia, tracked in from the West Pacific, keeping its name." - I would cite with sentence using the CPHC report of the 1968 PHS.
What the heck happened to reference #4?
Below reference #15, there is: "Cite error: <ref> tag with name "EPAC_HURDAT" defined in <references> is not used in prior text; see the help page."

All fixed except the "no damage" one which I don't think you need a source for things to don't happen. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 23:19, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. This is good enough. I will now pass this article for GA.--12george1 (talk) 01:59, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
