Lede
  • Add Karen in parenthesis to the "Name=" parameter of the infobox, because other typhoon articles have there Filipino name, example: Typhoon Megi (Juan).
  • "...strongest typhoon to make landfall on the Chinese province of Zhejiang since 1956." - I think you should add specifically the name of that typhoon the made landfall in Zhejiang in 1956, since when you go to the 1956 PTS, err 1950–56 Pacific typhoon seasons, there is only info for like three storms.
  • "...overall damage was estimated at ¥20.1 billion ($2.44 billion 2004 USD), primarily in Zhejiang." - Add inflation template
Meteorological history
  • "The origins of Typhoon Rananim were from an area of convection, or thunderstorms, that persisted west-northwest..." - I think you should erase "or thunderstorms,", although it would make it easier for someone unfamiliar with the subject, it sounds like there was uncertainty with how Rananim developed. It makes it seem like it developed from either an area of convection, or an area thunderstorms.
  • Wikilink "kilometre" and "miles per hour" where the article says "...the agency initiated advisories on Tropical Depression 16W about 780 km (485 mi)..."
  • Delink the following (already wikilinked in the lede): Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration, Joint Typhoon Warning Center, Taiwan, eye, and landfall.
    • Well, PAGASA is abbreviated in the lede, so I think it should actually be linked in the article. Ditto the first link of JTWC in the MH (not in the diff section). I got the rest. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:48, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "...passing north of Taiwan before making landfall at 1300 UTC on August 12 near Wenling in Zhejiang province in China." - The wind speed at landfall is missing.
  • Hang, my question to which typhoon it was talking about in the lede has been answered, but I had to read until here to find out that is was Typhoon Sally?
Differences among warning centers (MH subsection)
  • Delink: Japan Meteorological Agency and Joint Typhoon Warning Center
  • "PAGASA had the lowest peak intensity, although Rananim was continuing to strengthen as it left the agency's area of responsibility." - It seems like kinda of a misuse of the term "although" since the fact that Rananim was still intensifying after it left PAGASA does not contradict that it had the lowest peak intensity there.
Preparations and impact
Aftermath
  • Add inflation templates to other currency values
