I hope no one takes it away from me this time. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 23:36, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Move the PAGASA ref to the comma after the name.

Shouldn't the damage total in the infobox be over $1.8 million in the infobox?
- Good call. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 21:46, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"The next morning the JTWC declared Alex a typhoon. Simultaneously, the JTWC estimated that Alex attained its peak intensity of 120 km/h (75 mph)." Merge these sentences.
- Sure I guess. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 21:46, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"typhoon, Typhoon Alex" Don't think you need to mention the full title here.
- Changed. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 21:46, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"On the evening of July 25, the JMA classified Alex as a typhoon. At the same time, the JMA reported that Alex obtained its peak intensity of 120 km/h (75 mph) and a minimum pressure of 970 mbar (29 inHg)." Merge these sentences.
- Sure. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 21:46, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The track didn't show Alex traveling over the Korean Strait.
- Fixed. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 21:46, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe mention that it made a turn in the Sea of Japan?
- JTWC/HKO likely didn't so I likely opted not to include it here. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 21:46, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"US$1. million"
- Fixed. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 21:46, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No more info from South Korea?
- No. 21:46, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
Add South Korea to the areas affected in the infobox.
- Done. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 21:46, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Capitalize Tropical cyclones for the portal template.

Ref 5's link doesn't load to that page anymore, use an archived one.
- Fixed. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 21:46, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

One thing I found out from my FAC was "While one can utilize a simple ratio to convert from peak 10 min wind to peak 1 min wind (roughly 12% higher for the latter), such systematic differences to make interbasin comparison of tropical cyclones around the world problematic." The sentence we've been copying around from has been wrong for quite some time.

How is it wrong per se? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 21:46, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

AGF on sources, but you should get newspapers.com access from WP:TWL.

That should be it. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 09:12, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
