Reviewer: QatarStarsLeague (talk · contribs) 03:10, 14 November 2012 (UTC) I have always had a soft spot for the islands situated in the Indian Ocean that have been so moulded by French administration, including Reunion, Mauritius, Madagascar, or Mayotte. On those grounds, I will review. I am currently busy reviewing two other articles, however. As soon as the first one of those reviews is concluded, I will commence this one.

The Lead

The article appears good upon first glance, so the consummate review will start:
"Intense Tropical Cyclone Dina was a destructive cyclone that caused record flooding across parts of Réunion." No adjectives needed, so remove the word destructive.

• Removed Cyclonebiskit (talk) 03:29, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

"Dina attained its peak intensity on January 20..." How about achieved instead. Use your discretion.

• Changed to achieved. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 03:29, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

The rest of the lead looks fine. Moving on to the infobox...

Infobox

The picture checks out fine, so the infobox passes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by QatarStarsLeague (talk • contribs) 18:00, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Meteorological history

"...an extended area of convection connected to the monsoon." Monsoon season that is?

• Tropical cyclones can develop from the monsoon trough, which is what that piped link from monsoon is for. A monsoon season is different from the monsoon trough in that it's a weather pattern rather than a feature (in the broadest of senses). Cyclonebiskit (talk) 19:41, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

"About three hours earlier, the JTWC also upgraded the storm to tropical cyclone status." the JTWC had also...

The rest of this section is good. The image checks out.

Preparation, impact, and aftermath-Mauritius

To start, all geographic mentions in the second paragraph need to be wikilinked no more, and no less, than once.

• As far as I can tell, they are. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 19:41, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

"For approximately ten hours, the country was cut-off from the outside world, with all communications disrupted." I need a reference for this line.

• It falls under reference 12, not sure why you're looking for a double citation. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 19:41, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

Other than that, we are good.

Preparation, impact, and aftermath-Reunion

"while the vanilla and geranium crops sustained heavy damage." Any reason why vanilla isn't wikilinked.

Everything else is good in this section.

See also

I know this is such a "pequena" section, but if Cyclone Gamede is mentioned in this article, why is this article not mentioned on Cyclone Gamede?

• Article was made after Gamede's so no one added it to the other one. I just put it there now. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 19:41, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

Conclusion

Other than these issues, the article is in passing shape. As soon as the outstanding issues are addressed, I believe I can pass this one! QatarStarsLeague (talk) 19:06, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

• Thanks very much for the review QatarStarsLeague! Cyclonebiskit (talk) 19:41, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

20-year anniversary

It's been exactly 20 years since Dina struck Réunion, and as such Météo-France has published a report (in French) regarding impacts on the island. There may be some information in there that isn't already in the article. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 04:15, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
