Dropping a note that I'll be reviewing this article. Standard disclaimer that this review will be part of the WikiCup. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 19:01, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Lede

• The first of these systems developed on October 25, 2010, which had its origins from the neighboring Australian basin. – The second half of this is not supported by the reference provided later on in the article. Might be a bit nitpicky, but the source centers it at 86.6E, within the SWIO.

• Weird, brain fart. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:48, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

• Bingiza was also the only storm to affect land, causing heavy damage and 34 fatalities across Madagascar. – TD 03 also affected Madagascar and Cherono impacted Rodrigues (as stated in the following sentence). Maybe change to specify that Bingiza was the only storm to cause significant damage or loss of life?

• I changed it to "Severe effects on land". That work? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:48, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

• Works for me ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 20:58, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Season summary

• This section feels out of order, it goes from a general season summary to who monitors the basin and then to pre-season forecasts. The second para might be more useful in the lede but not sure what to do with the other two.

• I changed the name of the section to "Season forecast and summary", and moved the third paragraph to be the first. I think the order makes more sense now. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:48, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

• First three sentences of the first para are quite repetitive: "[feature] caused [thing]" for all of them.

• Better? I changed one. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:48, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

• ...although there was also a subtropical cyclone that could have been named. – MFR doesn't name subtropical cyclones, but see what's being inferred here. Need to tweak this to indicate that it's just gale-force.

• I think they do name subtropical cyclones though. Dando in the following season was a named subtropical depression, and Joul in 2010 was a named SC. I added the gale-force bit though. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:48, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

• I guess that was a thing, yeah :P ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 20:58, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

• In terms of total days in which cyclones were active, the season was slightly behind the 1982–83 season, thus making the 2010–11 season the second-quietest on record – How could it be behind in activity, yet more active at the same time?

• 2010-11 had shorter-lived storms. I think... ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:48, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Storms

• I've restored the sections for 01 & 03 since there was enough info to support it.

• It looks good. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:48, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Abele

• The JTWC assessed slightly higher 1 minute winds of 150 km/h (90 mph). – Technically this is the same value as MFR when you convert 10-min to 1-min.

• Interesting. I removed the "slightly higher" bit then. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:48, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Cherono

• ...and slightly higher 1 minute winds of 85 km/h (50 mph) according to the JTWC. – Same thing as Abele

• Ditto. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:48, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Placing the article on hold to allow time to handle the comments. Overall issues are relatively small and this should be a quick fix. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 19:29, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Looks good now, passing. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 20:58, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
