• The 16th named storm of the 2002 Pacific typhoon season, Sinlaku formed on August 27" - Don't we usually spell that out? You know, "sixteenth" instead of "16th".
  • Only for numbers below 10. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:37, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
• "Over the next few days, it fluctuated slightly in intensity while moving over or near several Japanese islands." - It might be better to say the "Ryukyu Islands" to be more specific. When I first saw that, I thought it was incorrect because it wasn't close to islands like Honshu, Hokkaido, etc.
  • Good call. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:37, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
• "Shortly after Sinlaku become a typhoon, the JMA estimated it attained peak 10 minute maximum sustained winds of 150 km/h (90 mph).[1] Also on August 31, the JTWC estimated peak 1 minute winds of 205 km/h (125 mph)." - It is rather odd how you say "Also on August 31", but you should have established it was August 31 on the previous sentence.
  • It's a different paragraph though. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:37, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
• "Residents on the small island of Minamidaitojima evacuated their homes to safer" - Wikilink "Minamidaitojima" to "Minamidaitō".
  • It's already linked in the MH section. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:37, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
• "government buildings in Taipai, and flights between northern and southern" - The capital of Taiwan is misspelled
  • Oops, thanks! --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:37, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Anything else needed? --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:40, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

• Good job. I will now pass Sinlaku as a GA.--12george1 (talk) 02:58, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
