Lead

• For a storm that caused a lot of damage across the Caribbean and the United States, the first sentence makes it look like a generic storm.

• I took that a step further than Zzzs (talk · contribs) and rewrote the first two lead paragraphs, trying to make it even stronger. Can you let me know what you think? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:33, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

• A total of 59 homes were damaged or destroyed, causing significant harm to Haiti's agricultural industry. Did the homes being damaged affect the industry? Also, it says 59 but in the Impact section, it states that The storm wrecked 929 homes and damaged 3,058 others...

• Zzzs fixed the number inconsistency. As for affecting the industry, the country sought out international aid, so yes there were effects! Zzzs added that bit. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:33, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

• I would incorporate some of the aftermath into the lead section.

• Zzzs thankfully added this, which I tweaked a bit. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:33, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

Meteorological history

• The hurricane subsequently traversed the Jamaica Channel, bringing deadly floods to both Jamaica and Haiti Is the last part needed?

• Removed. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:33, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

• The powerful storm soon struck Granma Province, Cuba, as a Category 4 hurricane early on July 8; violent winds battered the province and caused extensive damage. Ditto.

• Removed. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:33, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

Preparations, impact, and aftermath

• Got nothing for preparations.
• To prevent damage to the damage of electric generation stations, power was halted nationwide... Remove "damage of".

• Lol oops. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:33, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

• The hurricane damaged Dennis also affected the agriculture industry... Needs to be reworded.

• D'oh, thanks for pointing out and for Zzzs fixing that. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:33, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

• The high waves destroyed sea turtle's nests, with 61 nests destroyed in Pinellas County. to The high waves destroyed 61 sea turtle nests in Pinellas County.

• Fixed, and Zzzs corrected it to 60 per the original source (my mistake). ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:33, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

• The floodaters breached a dam near Fayetteville and another in Tift County... change "floodaters" to floodwaters.

• Zzzs fixed. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:33, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

• Got nothing for aftermath.

References

• All sources seem reliable. Will be doing a spotcheck later.
  • Spotcheck: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 23, 24, 27, 37, 41, 42, 43, 51, 64, 72, 73, 80, 84, 85, 93, 94, 95, 99, 102, 103, 104, 107, 108, 113, 118, 130, 140
    • 6, 7, and 8 do not say that Dennis crossed Grenada, but 1 says that it made landfall there.
    • I don't have an account for EM-DAT (42), so AGF.
    • 84 says that 60 turtle nests were destroyed, not 61.
• Still need to check the format and if there is any OR.
  • I don't think there is any OR.
  • 49 doesn't work. Add an archive link and label the original as dead.
  • For 72, I would add Reuters as the author since that's what the newspaper borrowed info from.
  • Date could be added in 92.
  • 150 is inconsistent with other sources from FEMA.

Other comments

• Images are of the public domain and have relevant captions.
• Earwig copyvio detection shows around 20% similarity with some sources and a max of 21.3%, but that just comes from the title. (couldn't use search engine)
  • Did a re-run. Nothing is wrong here.
• The article follows MoS.
• The article is stable.
• The article is neutral.
• The article is focused.
• The article covers all main aspects.

The article is really well-written. I have finished my review. —JCMLuis 💬 14:11, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

Ref layout wasn't addressed, so I just did it myself. Everything looks good now. —JCMLuis 💬 22:27, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
