• Infobox says 130 mph. Did you mean 135?
  • No. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:22, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• You could link 'rapidly intensified' to rapid deepening.
  •  Done. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:22, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• If you say "As fast as it strengthened," you don't have to say it weakened just as rapidly, because you already state that.
  • Re-wroded. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:22, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• "Ignacio was downgraded into a tropical storm while passing south of Hawaii." When?
  • Added. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:22, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• "...however, the watch was dropped when Ignacio weakened. However, Ignacio still brought high waves and light rainfall to the islands." You use however twice. You should find an alternative if possible.
  • Better? YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:22, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Meteorological history

• "on July 21 1,623 mi (2,612 km)" I think you should add a comma after 21.
  • No, but there should be a while located in here, which I added. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:22, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• "Intensifying further west than normal[2]" comma before reference.
  • { Done. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:22, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• "Based on this, the CPHC upgraded Ignacio into hurricane status..." I think into → to
  •  Done. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:22, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• "Continuing to rapidly intensify, Hurricane Ignacio moved west-northwest at 10 mph (16 km/h). Ignacio was upgraded into Category 2 status on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale (SSHS)." I think you could combine the two sentences, and state when Ignacio was upgraded.
  •  Done. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:22, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Link Hurricane Hunter
  • I did already :P YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:22, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• "The hurricane held peak intensity for several hours, however, an upper trough northwest of the Hawaiian Islands was gradually approaching Ignacio." If you're starting a new paragraph, a good rule of thumb is to include the time the stated fact happened, regardless of whether or not it was stated at the end of the last.
  • CPHC did not say. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:22, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• "a mjaor hurricane" spellcheck
  •  Done. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:22, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• "Air Force aircraft" Whose Air Force?
  • Idk. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:22, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• "The hurricane resumed its westerly course..." I don't see anywhere else in the MH where a different course was taken or disrupted.
  • If you look at the track map, it did turn WNW for a while. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:22, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• I know but that's just the image. You should state it in the actual prose. TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 16:27, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I did, " Hurricane Ignacio moved west-northwest ". YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:30, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• "While passing south of the island chain..." Since this is in a new paragraph, what island chain?
  • Substituted. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:22, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Can you provide any times for the events stated in the MH?
  • Added a couple. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:22, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Preparations and impact

• "was lcoated northwest..." Spellcheck.
  •  Done. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:22, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• "... track then what..." then → than
  •  Done. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:22, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• "Bu July 24..." Bu → By
  •  Done. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:22, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• I suggest linking high surf advisory to severe weather terminology (United States)#Coastal/Lakeshore Hazards but that's just my opinion.
• "Big Island of Hawaii[2]" Needs period.
  •  Done. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:22, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• "the watch was cancelled as Ignacio resumed weakening..." Did it weaken beforehand? Because you use Igancio, and to me it appears Ignacio strengthened and weakened, with not much in between.
  • Read the MH part where it mention slight re-intensification may have occurred. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:22, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• I know, but that was just a 'theory' and its not supported by the database. TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 16:27, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • HURDAT does say it leveled off in intensity. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:30, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• "and the Big Island" I don't think you need 'the'
  • It IMO does not make sense without it. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:22, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• "that lead to the beaches" lead → led
  •  Done. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:22, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

References and external links

• Would Reference #9 have any link?
  • It's in cite news, so they don't need links! But, I made the title lowercase. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 16:22, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's all I have for now. TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 15:58, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
