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

• "and later merged with a low pressure area atop of the Sea of Japan." - What day did this happen on?

• "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?

• 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.

    • This wasn't fixed either--12george1 (talk) 23:02, 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)
