"The eyewall soon after passed over the Japanese island of Miyako-jima on September 10," "soon after"? YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 01:32, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Yep, referring to the time period a short time after it reached the peak. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:22, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"With warm waters," wasters can't be warm; however, ocean temperature can be. So change that to "With warm ocean temperatures," YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 01:32, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Water can certainly be warm or not. Just ask the sink in my bathroom that never gets warm. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:22, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"The JMA upgraded Maemi to a severe tropical storm " what's that? Link to the TC scales page :P YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 01:32, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Why? I don't for tropical depression or tropical storm? --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:22, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"eventually striking the coast of Alaska on September 21.[9]" link to Alaska, it's not that well known. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 01:32, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Disagreed on the well-known, but I'll add it. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:22, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"excluding during the 2 hour passage of the eye," axe the "during". YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 01:32, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Kk. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:22, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"Newspapers considered Maemi the strongest typhoon to affect Okinawa since 1968" I don't think the UPI is a newspaper actually, it counts as a news wire. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 01:32, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Changed to "news agencies". --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:22, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"Wind gusts reached 116 km/h (72 mph) in Akita, the third highest September wind gust at the station.[16] " mind axing this? Third is kinda trivial IMO. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 01:32, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- It shows how unusually strong the winds were. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:22, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"which was one of the strongest storms to strike South Korea after Maemi.[7] " was it the strongest or "one of the strongest"? YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 01:32, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The records are a bit contradictory on this. Some say that Maemi was stronger, but that's based on JTWC data, whereas the Maemi data is based on an estimate. I'm more comfortable leaving the writing as it is due to the sources I found. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:22, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"900 tons" metric units to satisfy the non-American? YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 01:32, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, I'm not sure whether the source is metric or imperial, so I don't wanna assume one or the other. "Tons" is an unusual unit. And it's not like the conversion would be that important either way. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:22, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"In Masan, the storm flooded an underground shopping center, killing 12 people.[33] " mind switching this to "In Masan, the storm flooded an underground shopping center, resulting in 12 fatalities.[33] " You use "people" quite a bit in this article. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 01:32, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Switched wording. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:22, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"To prevent additional outbreaks, the Korean National Institute of Health sent 1,000 workers to storm-damaged areas.[61] " link to the "Korean National Institute of Health"? YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 01:32, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- It's a redlink. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:22, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"The Gupo bridge damaged during the storm was repaired in 2007.[67]" why is the G capitalized? YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 01:32, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- It's a city. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:22, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
