Orphaned references in Typhoon Cecil (1982)

Latest comment: 6 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Typhoon Cecil (1982)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "HKO":

From 1982 Pacific typhoon season: Meteorological Results: 1982 (PDF) (Report). Hong Kong Royal Observatory. 1983. p. 10. Retrieved April 20, 2017.
From Tropical Storm Gladys (1991): Hong Kong Observatory (1992). "Part III – Tropical Cyclone Summaries". Meteorological Results: 1991 (PDF). Meteorological Results (Report). Hong Kong Observatory. p. 15. Retrieved July 22, 2017.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 08:28, 16 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hello YE, I'm going to review this article tonight.--12george1 (talk) 03:40, 6 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm counting 57 deaths. 35 in South Korea, 19 in Taiwan, and 3 in Japan. The infobox says 38 deaths

- Fixed. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 03:05, 24 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
Speaking of infobox, add Taiwan to the Areas affected in the infobox
- Added. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 03:05, 24 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
Japan and South Korea are both mentioned in the first sentence, but neither are wikilinked there. They should be wikilinked there rather than later in the lead section
- This apparently got fixed after the review but before I touched it. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 03:05, 24 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
"Truk on July 31 and over the next several days tracked westward." - I think it would be better to put "tracked westward" in front of "over"
- Done. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 03:05, 24 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
"where 2,800 families sough shelter." --> "where 2,800 families sought shelter."
- Fixed. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 03:05, 24 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
"Almost 1,300 houses were flooded, which resulted in 6,200 homeless." - Maybe change this to "Almost 1,300 houses were flooded, which resulted in 6,200 people becoming homeless."?
- Sure. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 03:05, 24 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
"that would later became Typhoon Cecil" --> "that would later become Typhoon Cecil"
- Sure. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 03:05, 24 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
"ship reports in the area that measured a central pressures of 1,000–1,003 mbar (29.5–29.6 inHg)," --> "ship reports in the area measuring central pressures of 1,000–1,003 mbar (29.5–29.6 inHg),"
- Done. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 03:05, 24 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
"Cecil briefly turned southward, slowed down, and then turned northwestward." - It's possible to avoid saying "turned" twice. Replace one of them with a word like "curved"
- Good call. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 03:05, 24 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
At 00:00 UTC on August 7," - Wikilink to Coordinated Universal Time
- Done. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 03:05, 24 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
"its track turned sharply northward until reaching the 25th parallel north" - The storm moved, not the track. Just change "its" to "it" and remove the word "track"
- Meh, okay. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 03:05, 24 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
"where 230 mm (9.2 in) fell in the capital during a 32-hour time span." - Wikilink Taipei at "capital"
- Added. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 03:05, 24 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
I'm noticing that you've used four references from United Press International and none of them have links. I'm pretty sure you could find links for those references on the UPI archive. For example, this link can be used for Ref 7. A link for Refs 14, 16, and 17 can probably be found from the archive as well

- I forgot to add the bit noting it was from LN like I usually do in all my GAN's. I realize we are often pushed to go further with this at FAC though with regards to providing links so let me know if this isn't enough. 03:11, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

That should be it. Let me know when you're finished--12george1 (talk) 03:40, 6 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

@12george1: Late but done. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 03:11, 24 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Yellow Evan: Sorry about the wait. I will now passing this article and list it as a GA.--12george1 (talk) 21:36, 29 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
