Hello Cyclonebiskit, I will be reviewing Tropical Storm Cecil for you.--12george1 (talk) 03:41, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
- The lede is rather short, but I may let this slide.
- "Severe Tropical Storm Cecil in May 1989 caused devastating floods in central Vietnam, killing 751 people." - Wikilink "Vietnam" in the opening sentence of the article.
- "The storm made landfall near Hoi An late on May 24 and quickly weakened." - Indicate the country that "Hoi An" is located in.
- "In Vietnam, heavy rains accompanying the storm, amounting to over 510 mm (20 in)" - Grammar error: "accompanying" to "accompanied".
- "prompted the JTWC to designat the system as" - Typo
- "the JMA reported Cecil to have been sightly weaker" - Another typo, or the fact that was storm was weakening was "pleasing to the eye". :P
- "Cecil also produced heavy rains in Laos northeastern Thailand" - Grammar error: add "and" between "Laos" and "northeastern". Btw, can you be more specific on impact in Laos and Thailand, or is that the only info available?
- "hectares were otherwise innundated" - Typo
- That should be about it for now, unless there are other things I find during the next week.--12george1 (talk) 03:41, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the review George! Pardon my slight delay in responding. I didn't notice this pop up on my watchlist before. Thanks for letting me know on the talk page. I believe I have made all the necessary corrections. In regards to additional info for Laos and Thailand, I couldn't find any more details through Google or LexisNexis.

- Alright, nice job CB. I am going to pass this article now and list it as a GA.--12george1 (talk) 01:55, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
Worst storm?
editHi Cyclonebiskit (talk), It was not the worst storm in 50 years. According to here, page 12, there were worse storms in Vietnam than this, such as the storm in 1964 that killed 7000 people. Na Tra (talk) 15:21, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
