Hi! I'll be reviewing this article for GA status, and should have the full review up shortly. Dana boomer (talk) 19:13, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   • In "Typhoon Cary" it says "noted on the TUTT's difflent southeast side". "Difflent"? Not sure if this is a typo or just weather jargon...
   • In "Tropical Storm Freda" it says "After two days inland, Ed finally dissipated" This is either supposed to be "Freda finally dissipated" or it's in the wrong section.
   • In the "Typhoon Cary" section it says that a "tropical tropospheric trough" is a TUTT, while in the "Tropical Depression Edeng" section it says that a "tropical upper tropospheric low" is a TUTT. Can this please be standardized?
   • In "Typhoon Kelly" it says "Completing a cyclonic loop, cool air slowly became entrained in its circulation as it continued to slowly develop." Is there some way to reword this so as to not use "slowly" twice in the same sentence?
   • "Tropical Storm Nina", "as thunderstorms moved away from the center which removed the radius of maximum winds farther from the center.". Repetition of "from the center".
   • "Super Typhoon Bill", "Bill lost his battle on the November 22, after causing minor damage on its path." is ungrammatical, and "lost his battle" is unencyclopedic.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   • I added fact tags in a few places where I would like to see references. I'm pretty sure the info is covered by the ref at the end of the sections, but would like to make sure.

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars etc.:

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

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

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   • Overall a nice article. I'm placing the review on hold to allow time to address the few issues listed above, mainly dealing with prose. Please let me know if you have any questions. Dana boomer (talk) 20:13, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
