Conclusion
editI will have to fail this nomination. I feel there is too much copy-editing and grammar correction to be done. I think that with the output of effort into this article, it can eventually meet GA standards, but, for now, this article is unprepared and unqualified to become a GA. I salute your effort and anticipate the second nomination of this article after alterations are made. Thanks for nominating! QatarStarsLeague (talk) 14:09, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
- What is wrong with this article in particular? How come you did not do a trough review? IMO the writing is fine. YE Pacific Hurricane 16:51, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
- This line jumps out to me upon first glance as not great On February 23, RSMC Reunion's Meteo France (MFR) started to monitor a tropical depression that had developed just north-northwest of Madagascar. While i also note that you say "Data from both agencies suggest that Cyclone Filao quickly weakened over land, dissipating several hours later." which is poor as well especially when we know exactly wehn the JTWC issued their final warning and when it was last noted.Jason Rees (talk) 16:07, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
- As for the former, I tweaked it slightly. As for the latter, there is an issue there that you did not mention so, I fixed. YE Pacific Hurricane 16:40, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

editMake sure metric units go first. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:26, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
- [1] - add this well-written report from MFR. There is a ton of info there that's missing from the article. User:Jason Rees recently showed me this archive, which has info on storms going back to 1968, so I know what I'll be doing in the SWIO for the next few months :D ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:02, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
- Oh boy. I'm suckered in now :P YE Pacific Hurricane 00:01, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Comments
edit- In the section, "Meteorological history", it states early on, "On February 23, Météo-France's office on the island of Réunion (MFR) started motioning a tropical depression to the northeast of Madagascar. that developed a closed circulation, which received a rating of T1.5 on the Dvorak Scale..." There are a couple of things I want to be sure about, before I conclude this review. In the first place, is "started motioning a tropical depression" correct, or is the word supposed to be "monitoring"? Secondly, the lower case "that", following "northeast of Madagascar." is obviously incorrect, but is it supposed to be the start of a new sentence, or should the period following "Madagascar" be changed to a comma? Other than that, everything looks fine to me. Grinding, grinding, grinding... what are we finding, finding, finding... (talk) 02:34, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
- Apologies for the late reply, but I fixed what you're on about. Feel free to go on with the review. YE Pacific Hurricane 00:04, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
