• Won't hurt to link some of the areas impacted by the storm in the lead and the hurricane scale.
  •  Done. Dustin (talk) 02:26, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
• When did JMA began tracking the system, and when did they upgrade it to a tropical storm?
  •  Done. Dustin (talk) 23:42, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
• I'd mention the Korean peninsula landfall later in the paragraph, after the typhoon had weakened into a tropical storm.
  •  Done. Dustin (talk) 22:27, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
• Anything else after the extratropical transition? When did the agencies stop tracking the storm?
  • There wasn't really anything of significance after the extratropical transition, and I have addressed the second question, so  Done. Dustin (talk) 22:39, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
• Any obvious proof that the typhoon was also named Heling? The simple note doesn't prove it.
  • I'm not sure such proof exists in Internet sources. Even for other PAGASA-named storms in the season, the only proof is what is copied by news sources from PAGASA. Sadly, none of this copying appears to have occurred with Abe/Heling, so some problems have resulted. Unless you have some way of finding additional information from PAGASA outside of simple news sources, even if we assume that Abe was named "Heling" by PAGASA, I am not sure I can prove it (via the Internet).

  • This source appears to list events where there were multiple different storms as "Typhoons" (e.g. Typhoons Yancy, Abe) and the same storm with singular "Typhoon" (e.g. Typhoon Abe, Typhoon Heling). All that aside, I don't want it to seem too much like I am operating on assumptions, but I consider it extremely unlikely that the WMO and the JTWC could have completely overlooked a typhoon-strength storm as identified by the Philippine government, and if you take a look at the link I provided to the 1990 Global Register of Major Flood Events, it indicates a date range of August 25 to September 1, a range which fits completely within the range of Typhoon Abe's life span. While I can't find any sources directly calling one the other, I am extremely doubtful that these are different storms. Dustin (talk) 18:47, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
• Can you link the Philippine provinces, and state of calamity?
  •  Done. Dustin (talk) 18:52, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
• There's no need for the external links, as they've been used in the article.
  •  Done. Dustin (talk) 18:50, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

Unless I could find more things, that should be it.—CycloneIsaac (Talk) 02:16, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
