Since im a very annoying person i thought i would review this article for GA Status.

The 1995–96 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season was a moderately active season that included Cyclone Bonita, which was the first tropical cyclone to cross from the southern Indian Ocean into the southern Atlantic Ocean. - Surely this sentence should contain a phrase along the lines of known, on record etc, since im sure that there are other systems that have crossed into the Atlantic that "we dont know about."
- Added "known". --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:56, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The first storm, Intense Tropical Cyclone Agnielle, formed in the adjacent Australian basin on November 16 and later reached peak winds in the south-west Indian Ocean. - It would be better to see a link back to Tropical cyclone basins, and the Australian basin rephrased as the Australian region IMO.
- Any reason you prefer region instead of basin? And added link to basin. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:56, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - A) its wat we generally call the basin B) Later in the lead you use region.Jason Rees (talk) 06:22, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Eh, they're interchangeable. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 06:24, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
and proceeded to exit the basin on May 4 to end the seasons - Typo
- Ehh? Everything is spelled right to me. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:56, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Seasons? Jason Rees (talk) 06:22, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Yea, technically Jenna ended both the SWIO and the AUS season. But if it's confusing, I'll make it just "season". --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 06:24, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      - The problem there is that MFR considered the AUS season to end with Lyndsey in July 96. (Per a line in their summuary for Jenna).Jason Rees (talk) 07:05, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        Ah, I removed the AUS implication anyway. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:39, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
During the season, the Météo-France office (MFR) on Réunion island issued warnings in tropical cyclones within the basin. The agency estimated intensity through the Dvorak technique, - Id love to know how they were warning in tropical cyclones and is it really worth noting that one of the techniques they used during the season was davorak since they must of used Radar and other techniques/tools.
- That was the primary tool to estimate the intensity. I think it is worth noting, just like Atlantic seasons probably should emphasize that NHC uses recon. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:56, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), which is a joint United States Navy – United States Air Force task force, also issued tropical cyclone warnings for the southwestern Indian Ocean.[3] - Might be worth specifying that they issued them on behalf of the US Government
- Any reason? It says joint US Navy and Air Force already. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:56, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
In addition to the named storms, the MFR tracked 11 tropical depressions or disturbances that did not intensify into a tropical storm. The agency did not issue any bulletins on eight of them. - Read the ATCR carefully MFR did issue warnings on them.
- Read carefully. The MFR issued 0 bulletins for eight of them. They issued some sort of warning for them, but I found it interesting that eight of them didn't receive bulletins. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:56, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
More later.Jason Rees (talk) 04:11, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Can't wait! --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:56, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for changing to use the 94 ATCR, however you need to start labeling Guy Le Goff as the publications editor.
- That's not one of the parameters for Cite report. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:49, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - editor should be.Jason Rees (talk) 03:07, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- You? --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:49, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You need to check Jenna really carefully.Jason Rees (talk) 01:32, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Im not a fan off saying that the JTWC started to monitor Jenna based on a BT 6 hour position, when you say "In early May, a westerly wind burst associated with the Madden-Julian oscillation produced disturbances on both sides of the equator in the eastern Indian Ocean." based on JTWC.Jason Rees (talk) 01:32, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Yea, good call. I'll remove the JTWC mention. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:49, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
On May 3, the JTWC upgraded the system to tropical storm status, designating it Tropical Cyclone 28S, the last of the year. - The JTWC ATCR tells me that the JTWC initiated advisories early on May 2.Jason Rees (talk) 01:32, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- But BT has it upgrading to TS on the 3rd, so I'm gonna stick with that over the ATCR. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:49, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Hang on the JTWC make a point of mentioning they initiated advisories in the report for the BoB twin, as a result that is what we have to go with off if we are saying when they initiated, regardless of when it achieved TS intensity in post analysis.Jason Rees (talk) 03:07, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - No biggie, I removed the 28S bit. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:07, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
On the next day, the low crossed into the south-west Indian Ocean - infobox says May 3 as does BoM.Jason Rees (talk) 01:32, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Damn. So here's what happened. The report sometimes had different dates, I think due to irregularities with UTC, and I was reading it wrong. The BT has it crossing 90E on the 4th, which is what I'm going with. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:49, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, the review has been stale for about a week. Is there anything else the article needs? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 06:29, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'll be rereviwing this article tonight or tomorrow night Secret ^account 00:40, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks if you can get the chance :) ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 07:10, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think Jason Rees took care of any concerns with this article, flawless pretty much. I'm passing it. Secret ^account 00:47, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
