" began to have deep convection" - "have" --> "produce"

Switched.—CycloneIsaac (Talk)

"sheared by a shear line" - is redundant

Removed.—CycloneIsaac (Talk)

"weakened back to a tropical storm" - since JMA is official, it was never officially a typhoon, therefore it couldn't weak back to a tropical storm

Better?—CycloneIsaac (Talk)

"A cargo ship was abandoned after it was damaged by high winds." - was this on Yap? If so, you should mention that. If not, then the subsequent sentence should clarify it's Yap.

Added a word.—CycloneIsaac (Talk)

"and JMA began tracking it at 0000 UTC" - you should add "as a tropical depression" here

Done.—CycloneIsaac (Talk)

"westernly" - is not a word

Not sure why spellcheck isn't highlighting this.—CycloneIsaac (Talk)

"The storm received the name Fern." - this is a short, dumpy sentence that I'm sure could be merged into the previous or subsequent one.

Merged to previous sentence.—CycloneIsaac (Talk)

"Eighteen hours later" - when you start a new paragraph, you should always indicate what the date is

Better?—CycloneIsaac (Talk)

"JMA continued to keep the same strength at that time." - same strength as what?

Added the category.—CycloneIsaac (Talk)

"Fern reached its peak at 140 km/h (90 mph) north of Yap, according to JTWC" - why is this inconsistent with the infobox?

...I don't know. I'll check why later.—CycloneIsaac (Talk)

@Hurricanehink: I gave up on trying to fix it. For the infobox, 150 km/h rounds up to 95 mph, not 90.—CycloneIsaac (Talk)
Should I just hardcode this in?—CycloneIsaac (Talk)

"975 millibars" - convert to hPa

Converted all pressures.—CycloneIsaac (Talk)

"On the next day, JTWC downgraded Fern back to tropical storm strength, with winds of 110 km/h (70 mph).[4] At the same time, the storm had weakened to 80 km/h (50 mph)" - how is this possible?

Derp. Fixed.—CycloneIsaac (Talk)

Why did the storm move the way it did?

Added a bit more, not sure if enough though.—CycloneIsaac (Talk)

What allowed Fern to strengthen initially?

@Hurricanehink: The ATCR doesn't say anything about strengthening initially. It only says "Reaching peak intensity after turning northward is a common behavior in TCs in north-oriented patterns." Would that count?—CycloneIsaac (Talk)

Yea, maybe mention something like that. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:16, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done?—CycloneIsaac (Talk)

"Yap was directly hit by Fern on Christmas Day, and about $3 million (1996 USD) of damage was caused." - try rewriting in active voice

Better?—CycloneIsaac (Talk)

"The island constantly received gusts around 93 km/h (58 mph)." - constantly? For how long? And why this very specific reading

Fixed?—CycloneIsaac (Talk)

'costing half of the damage" - use "accounting for" instead of "costing"

Changed.—CycloneIsaac (Talk)

"On January 15, 1997, a state of emergency was declared for Yap by Acting President Jacob Nena" - this is false according to the ref, which says it happened on the 3rd

Fixed.—CycloneIsaac (Talk)

That's it for now. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:28, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

So far so good for the fixes. Lemme know when you're done with them. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:35, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I just read the ATCR for myself. How come you didn't include that the storm was a twin with a storm in the SHEM? You should also say it formed from the monsoon trough. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:16, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I added it.—CycloneIsaac (Talk) 17:35, 21 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's been a while since I've done an ACR like this (it didn't go well last time). Let's see how it goes. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 07:48, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from MarioJump83

I'll review this. The article, frankly, is very small in size, but, it doesn't matter.

0600 UTC should be 06:00 UTC and so on. All of them should be changed.
150 km/h (90 mph) Why this text doesn't use convert template instead?
10 minute and 1 minute should be 10-minute and 1-minute.

Other than that, this is good. Mario Jump 83! 11:15, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

However, the author requested withdrawal of the ACR because of some reason, thus this ACR will not continue. I decided to give some comments about it. Mario Jump 83! 22:57, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
