Hi, I am reviewing this article for GA and have a few comments.

Comments

• I have noticed that you now have (10-minute winds} etc., which I assume means something like the wind speed represents 10 minute samples, or alternatively, that the highest velocity lasted for 10 minutes. Perhaps you could explain the meaning in a footnote.
  • I've added a difference among warning centers subsection to the MH. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 19:00, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
• "Already impacted by Cyclone Meena in early February, Cyclone Nancy caused significant damage in the Cook Islands." Since the subject of this sentence is Cyclone Nancy, the meaning seems to be that Cyclone Nancy was already impacted by Cyclone Meena in early February. Is this what you mean?
  • Corrected Cyclonebiskit (talk) 19:00, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
• "Cyclone Nancy originated broad area of low pressure within a monsoonal trough ..." Cyclone Nancy created the broad area of low pressure? This is not quite clear.
  • Fixed Cyclonebiskit (talk) 19:00, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
• "and gave it the name Nancy while located about 485 km (300 mi) east-northeast" - while it was located? (to be clear)
  • Fixed
• The JTWC - have you connected this with its full name previously?
  • Yes Cyclonebiskit (talk) 19:00, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
• "assessed Nancy to have been substantially weaker until 0000 UTC on February 14" - Would "assessed Nancy to be substantially weaker" work just as well?
  • Not sure since I worded it to show the sudden jump in wind speeds. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 19:00, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

These are small issues and I am sure you will have no problems fixing them. It is a fine article. Besides the storm dynamics, it is interesting to read how these storms affect far off lands such as the Cook Islands.

I still don't get what "(10-minute winds}" means! —Mattisse (Talk) 19:21, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

I put a note thing, it's just the length of time that the winds are measured and averaged out by the RSMC. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 19:29, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
