Hello Yellow Evan, I am going to be reviewing this article today. Luckily my issues with this article are just a bunch of minor things. I may add more stuff later, just so you know.--12george1 (talk) 19:38, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

• Just curious (Curious George :P), where does this typhoon rank when it comes to cost of damage in Japan? I'm not real familiar with the basin, but I don't think I have seen very many typhoons in Japan cause over $1 billion USD in damage.
  • It's likely up there, but I don't like making those kind of templates since there 1) ranky and 2) a pain in the ass. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 22:40, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
    • I looked myself and couldn't find anything, so I'm gonna let this slide.--12george1 (talk) 23:02, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
• "before it briefly turned southwest, After turning north-northwest" - That comma should be a period
  •  Done. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 22:40, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
• "and later merged with a low pressure area atop of the Sea of Japan." - What day did this happen on?
  • Added. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 22:40, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
• "Typhoon Bess cut threw a 400 km (250 mi) swath that included the most populated portion of the nation." - Since this is a new paragraph, you should name which country this is in
  • Added. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 22:40, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
• " the typhoon attained a minimum pressure of" - Wikilink minimum pressure to barometric pressure
  •  Done. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 22:40, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
• "Many cars and trucks were stranded due to mudslides.[17] Air traffic was paralyzed.[18]" --> "Many cars and trucks were stranded due to mudslides;[17] air traffic was also paralyzed.[18]"
  •  Done. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 22:40, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
• "Additionally, 25 ships ran aground or were washed away.[19] Two boats sunk.[6]" - Merge these two sentences
  •  Done. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 22:40, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
• Is there anymore aftermath, or was that all you could find?
  • All I could find. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 22:40, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
• The names of the authors on reference #5 needs to be changed. They should be: Kenneth R. Knapp; Michael C. Kruk; David H. Levinson; Howard J. Diamond; Charles J. Neumann.
  • Good now? YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 22:40, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
    • Not done.--12george1 (talk) 23:02, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
      • This was fixed during a discussion on IRC--12george1 (talk) 23:23, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
• The publisher for reference #21 doesn't make sense. Instead of "United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research", I think it should be "United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory". Remember to remove "Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory" from the |author= parameter.
  • Changed. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 22:40, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
    • This wasn't fixed either--12george1 (talk) 23:02, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
      • This was fixed during a discussion on IRC--12george1 (talk) 23:23, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
• Alright, I am going to be passing this article and listing it as a GA.--12george1 (talk) 23:23, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Typhoon Bess (1982) → Typhoon Bess – This Bess has been retired, and I think this warrants for a move to Typhoon Bess. 🍙🌀CycloneIns✉ 21:24, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

I disagree. An example would be Hurricane Arlene (1987). Despite this Arlene being notable, it is still referred with the date. 🎩Incognito Fedora🎩 (talk) 23:39, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

@Fletcher106 Uh no. You should read what I said again. I am saying that since this Bess is the one that got the name retired, the year should be removed. 🍙🌀CycloneIns✉ 19:45, 21 December 2023 (UTC)

Oppose, as said before, neither of these fulfill WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Fletcher106 (talk) 13:00, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose, I am not sure what the argument is here, is this being deemed WP:PRIMARYTOPIC just because it was the last? Nonetheless, no evidence provided of this being the primary topic. Of the two standalone articles named "Typhoon Bess", this and Typhoon Bess (1974), both have similar pageviews, so cannot clearly determine a primary topic. DankJae 23:33, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
• Oppose, Bess is in the unique situation of having been retired twice (first in 1974, reintroduced when the naming lists were reworked in 1979, then in 1982), so the usual "retired name = primary topic" line isn't applicable here. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 06:23, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
