Article 1

I added this because I thought it was relevant information the aftermath section was lacking.

Plagiarism: I added a source for "The tropical storm continues slowly northwestward, slowly strengthening to a cyclone-strength storm on the 27th. The cyclone moved between a high pressure system to its northwest and east, and as mid-level westerlies met up with the storm, the cyclone moved northeastward. The westerlies enhanced upper level outflow, and in combination with warm water temperatures the cyclone steadily strengthened to a major hurricane on the 28th. On the 28th and 29th, as the system increased its speed to the north-northeast, the cyclone rapidly intensified to 1-minute sustained winds of 160 mph (260 km/h), the equivalent to a Category 5 hurricane. Late on the 29th, Cyclone 02B made landfall a short distance south of Chittagong as a slightly weaker 155 mph (250 km/h) Category 4 cyclone. The storm rapidly weakened over land, and dissipated on the 30th over southeast Asia."^[1] because it did not have a citation that I could see.

As a result of the 1991 Cyclone, Bangladesh improved its warning and shelter systems.^[2] Also, the government implemented a reforestation program to mitigate future flooding issues. ^[3]

Article 2

I added this content to expand on examples and better explain the effects of El Nino on the Peruvian Anchovy fishery. El Nino years 1997 and 2015 had an impact on the anchovy population, therefore causing ecological and societal effects.

Also, as far as plagiarism, I rephrased and added a reference to the "Culinary Aspects: Anchovy vs Anchoveta" which read: "Canned anchovy fillets commonly sold in the US are intensely salty and exclude skin and bones. They're often marked "Product of Morocco". These are salted-matured anchovy fillets. Canned anchovetas sold in Peru and elsewhere are almost identical to the canned sardines widely available in the US, hence the name "Peruvian sardines". Recently new ways of preparation for the anchovetas have been developed in Peru, therefore new products are already in the international market like anchoveta chicharrones, anchoveta jerky meat, anchoveta paste and anchoveta steaks." because the information was quoted directly from the reference.

I rephrased it to: "Canned anchovy fillets found commonly in the US are intensely salty and are often removed of skin and bones. Often, they are marked as "Product of Morocco," which are salted-matured anchovy fillets. Canned anchovetas sold in Peru and other places are extremely similar to the canned sardines widely available in the US, hence the name "Peruvian sardines".^[4] Recently new ways of preparation for the anchovetas have been developed in Peru, therefore new products are already in the international market like anchoveta chicharrones, anchoveta jerky meat, anchoveta paste and anchoveta steaks."

As far as content, I added the following sentences to the Fisheries section:

Along with the El Niño of 1982-1983, the 1997-1998 El Niño, the strongest on record, caused a loss in population of the anchoveta, negatively impacting fisheries, and, therefore, the economy.^[5] In October 2015, an El Niño year, of 3.38 million metric tons of anchoveta surveyed by The Peruvian Marine Research Institute, only 2 million metric tons were of reproductive age; 5 million metric tons are needed to open fisheries. The fishing industry claimed populations were more around 6.8 million metric tons of reproductive age anchoveta, so, despite discrepancies, the Ministry of Production allowed the opening of anchoveta fisheries the second season, but with a quota: 1.1 million metric tons, about half the quota of the first season of the year.^[6]

Article 3

I added this information because the article is lacking lots of specifics about damage and mechanics of the tsunami.

Although the article seems to be lacking in references, I could not find any plagiarism or locate any additional sources not already referenced.

To the section "Tsunami" I added:

Witnesses of the tsunami reported that the sea first retreated, exposing reefs and seafloor in some parts that had never been seen, even in extremely low tides. Afterward these incredibly low tides, the water returned, reaching high elevations. In some places, the large wave was followed by one or two smaller ones. In the closed bays, the water was disturbed for some time.^[7]

The area surrounding Aguadilla, which is located in the northwestern corner of the island, was hit hardest by the tsunami. Though they were not the greatest sized waves produced by the tsunami, waves 4 meters tall wiped out a village of huts located along the beach, killing 32 people.^[8]
