[edit] Assessment

Great work on the rewrite. I've set it at B-class. --Core desat 05:49, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Storm05 had some Taiwan impact... should we include it? íslenskur fel lib ylur #12 _(samtal) 13:03, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

His "Taiwan" impact was info on gusts on Iriomote, which is actually a Japanese island and covered as such. The only other thing I can see is flight cancellations, but those sources links have expired. On that note, while re-writing this article I noticed that a lot of impact had been copied verbatim from sources. This is in clear violation of copyright. Someone should check all his recent articles to ensure no copyvios slipped through. – Ch acor 14:08, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Very nice article, look forward to GA at least. - SpLo T _{(*T* C+u+g+v)} 14:14, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I think before nomming it for GA I'd probably re-read it and see if it could be copyedited in places. – Ch acor 14:15, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Minor copyedit

Anyone willing to help me go over the article and do a minor copyedit? I did parts of the Japan impact section in class, so may have made minor errors (spacing and punctuation, most likely). – Ch acor 10:15, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

I suppose I'll GA nom it now and check for minor errors while it waits its turn... – Ch acor 12:26, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA Passed

Congrats to the editors. Here's my review of the article.

Well-written - Pass - I found only one typo, which I fixed. Some parts might be a little confusing to non-specialist readers, though largely that is due to having four warning centers for one storm. Perhaps there could be a "Differences between warning centers" subsection to the storm history, which would allow the storm history to be more focused on the actual storm (and not what the warning centers said about the storm). Lede section is good, MOS is good, and technical terms are appropriately wiki-linked.
Factually accurate - Pass, though a source should be added indicating it passed over Iriomote and when the JTWC declared it extratropical
Broad - Weak Pass - The storm history could use some more focus on the storm, as mentioned above. For example, it is unclear when and why the storm turned to the north-northeast, when and why it started to weaken. Also, is there any impact in Taiwan or China? There are preps for there. Maybe the impact should just be one section without the sub-sections, as South Korea's section is rather short.
Non-POV - Pass
Stable - Pass
Images - Pass - While I'd love to see damage pics for every storms, some you just can't have. Good use of the satellite images.
