Hello, this is my first GA review.

Criteria

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

---

Article looks decent, only some minor issues listed below.

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   Flow of the article is smooth and makes a good read.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):

   Inline citations all done properly. Lots of sources supporting the "Records" section.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   Compact and detailed, but doesn't overload the reader with information.

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

   No biased views here, just facts.

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   All satellite images are in the public domain and shouldn't cause any copyright issues.

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   Just some minor stuff below.

Other issues

Lede

• Link tropical depression in second sentence?
• "evacuated some residents" – 180 residents is more than 15% of Boca Camichin's population, which is just under 1100 (source).

Meteorological history

• "dissipated into a trough" – is "degenerated" more appropriate?

These should be easy to fix, after which I'll be more than ready to pass the article. ~ KN2731 {talk} 09:10, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Specified 180 residents in the lede rather than percentages. I went with "some" since 180 people is quite minor for a hurricane evacuation but using percentages can be misleading. Also used changed "dissipated" to "opened up" instead of "degenerated" simply to avoid repetition. Thanks for the review, KN2731! ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 14:15, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
