Hello, Hurricanehink. I will be reviewing this article tonight--12george1 (talk) 04:27, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

• The first thing that stood out to me is that in most cases, you have several references clustered together. Is there a reason for that?

• With some of the news articles, sometimes I used a citation just for a small bit. Sometimes they appeared in multiple sentences. I thought it would look best having the references listed at the end of the paragraph/thought. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 14:53, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

• "a powerful tropical cyclone in the Bay of Bengal that killed 285 people" - But the infobox says 350

• Ack, that's what I get for writing the lead before finishing the article. Removed "285". ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 14:53, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

• "including at least 126 fishermen from Thailand who were sailing in the region; hundreds of fishermen were lost and presumed killed." - These two clauses look like they are saying the same thing

• True, merged clauses. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 14:53, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

• I know I just asked you to potentially cut something from the lead, but I think the section overall is a bit on the short side. This wasn't the worst cyclone ever and a not terribly interesting meteorologically, but surely that opening could be expanded a bit

• Added a bit more. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 14:53, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

• "That day at 06:00 UTC," - Too much space there

• We need some sort of Space Force! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 14:53, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

• "The cyclone moved ashore near the Bangladesh/Myanmar border," - I seem to remember you telling me not to use slashes. Say Bangladesh–Myanmar border instead

• I'm not 100% sure if that's official policy. I changed it, but I've seen the slash for borders. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 14:53, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

• Cox's Bazar has only two 'a's, you put three in all four times that city is mentioned in the impact. Also, maybe wikilink it somewhere?

• That's bizarre! Wikilinked. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:14, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

• "and the gov[4][22][23][24][25][26]" - Please tell me more about what the government did!!! *adjusts tin foil hat*

• Just helped replant trees. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:14, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

• "M Alimullah Miya. Cyclone Disaster Mitigation in Banglades" - You left out an 'n' for the author's last name and forgot the 'h' on the end of Bangladesh

• Good catch, damn. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk)

• "United Nations Department of Humanitarian Affairs (Report). May 1994" - Why not write out the exact date (May 6, 1994) rather than just the month and year?

• Because it's for UN DHA Information Reports 1–4. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:14, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

• "With BC-Bangladesh-Cyclone Despite Cyclone, Burmese Refugees Unwilling to" - Are you sure this title is correct?

• Sadly yes. The title might've gotten cut off, but LN doesn't show the complete title. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:14, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

• References 23 and 24 look like duplicates

• Oops, thanks. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:14, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

That should be it--12george1 (talk) 04:27, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

I believe I addressed all of your concerns - if not, please let me know what else I can do. Thanks for your review. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:14, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

Well, I am now satisfied with the condition of the article now. I will now pass it. Happy birthday!--12george1 (talk) 04:03, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

Thanks GC! :) ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 14:33, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
