Discussion

Lead

• Probably should have a link to the season article in the lead as well as in the MH.

• • Considering it's linked the infobox, I seldom do this. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 15:41, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

• Probably shouldn't say "Kinna strengthened into a tropical storm at 00:00 UTC on September 11." since it was not named prior to becoming a TS.

• • Ok. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 15:41, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

• "The typhoon turned north in response to a trough and passed through Okinawa as a minimal typhoon." Typhoon should be replaced by 'system'.

• • Cyclone works better here so that's what I went with.
• "Typhoon Kinna obtained peak intensity on September 13, but thereafter, Kinna accelerated north-northeastward toward Kyushu and maintained its intensity." would be better to have "[...], maintaining its intensity."

• • Considering I mention it struck at peak intensity in the next sentence, I just axed that bit altogether, and merged the two sentences. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 15:41, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

• The first Kyushu should be linked and the second de-linked.

• •  Done. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 15:41, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

• "There were 213 landslides and 9 bridges were washed out while 47 roads were damaged." could be rewritten as 'There were 213 landslides, 9 bridges washed out, and 47 roads were damaged.' the current iteration just doesn't seem right to me.

• • "9 bridges washed out" is missing a were and if I were to add a "were" along with your suggestion, I'd not be a fan of the parallel structure. But I moved the roads bit to the next sentence, so it should be better now. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 15:41, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

• Probably should have a link to hectares and acres as some may not be familiar with it.

• • I've always considered them common terms that I don't link in articles. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 15:41, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

• US dollar amount should be "$383 million (1991 USD)".
  • That breaks the consistency with how I do yen. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 15:41, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

That should be it for the lead. Noah^Talk 02:45, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

Meteorological history

• Link to maximum sustained winds?

• • In the infobox and it's not something I consider urgent considering the notes. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 15:41, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

• Link to mbar and inHg?

• • See above about the hectares/yen bit. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 15:41, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

• Link first mention of Kyushu and de-link the second.

• •  Done. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 15:41, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

• Same thing here as in the lead... "[...], maintaining its intensity."
  • I just inserted an "as" instead and I actually like my new sentence. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 15:41, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

That should be it for the MH portion. Noah^Talk 02:59, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

Impact

• "The typhoon dropped heavy rainfall across much of the southern Japanese archipelago,[...]" Should be replaced with Typhoon Kinna as it is the first sentence.

• •  Done. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 15:41, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

• "A peak rainfall total occurred of 338 mm (13.3 in) at Nanbu, including 330 mm (13 in) in a 24-hour time frame." Should be corrected to "A peak rainfall total of 338 mm (13.3 in) occurred at Nanbu, including 330 mm (13 in) in a 24-hour time frame.

• • Good call. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 15:41, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

• "When the storm passed through southern Okinawa, a minimum surface pressure of 958 mbar (28.3 inHg) recorded at Kadena Air Base, [...]" Add 'was' before the word recorded.

• • Good catch. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 15:41, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

• Maebaru is misspelled (the non-linked one in P1)

• • Fixed. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 15:41, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

• "On Shikoku Island, roads were cut in 16 places in Tokushima Prefecture." would be better to simply say the roads were damaged.
  • That borders on OR too much for my tastes IIRC. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 15:41, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

Should be it. Noah^Talk 03:31, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

My writing was really choppy here. Thanks for the review though. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 15:41, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
