I will review this article for the following reasons:

  1. We are close to our 3rd SWIO GT. YE Pacific Hurricane 19:28, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  2. I just GAN'd Octave so I should review a GA. YE Pacific Hurricane 19:28, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The 1993–94 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season was the most active on record with 15 named storms, including one named tropical depression." List of historic tropical cyclone names the 1964-65 got to 16 storms. (Okay, after reading the SS just say in the satellite era. YE Pacific Hurricane 19:28, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Mention cyclone year in the lead. YE Pacific Hurricane 19:28, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "With gusts as strong as 350 km/h (220 mph) accompanied by heavy rainfall, the cyclone wrecked areas along its path, destroying more than 40,000 homes and leaving 356,000 people homeless." no need for the second part, it is obvious is wrecked areas on it's path when you said it was "destroying more than 40,000 homes and leaving 356,000 people homeless". YE Pacific Hurricane 19:28, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Cyclone Nadia was the second deadliest cyclone, having killed 12 people in northern Madagascar and later severely damaging portions of northeastern Mozambique, killing about 240 people and leaving $20 million in damage." to make it a clear that that is just Mozambique impact, change it to "Cyclone Nadia was the second deadliest cyclone, having killed 12 people in northern Madagascar and later severely damaging portions of northeastern Mozambique, where 240 people perished and it left $20 million in damage." YE Pacific Hurricane 19:28, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "as well as by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC)[nb 3]" Ever heard of a period? YE Pacific Hurricane 19:28, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "In the year, MFR tracked tropical cyclones south of the equator from the coast of Africa to 90º E.[3]" link to the 90th meridian east. YE Pacific Hurricane 03:53, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Mention the MSM (Mauritius weather service) and the JTWC in the SS. YE Pacific Hurricane 19:28, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • Added MSM. JTWC is already mentioned elsewhere. Since they're not official, I didn't feel the need to mention them there. That work? ~~<~
  • You see should note if the number of STC/VITC's where and how they compared to average. YE Pacific Hurricane 03:53, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • I can't find average. I know VITC's are very rare though. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:10, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • You are missing a see also section, BTW. YE Pacific Hurricane 19:28, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I will finish such review later, I have to eat my lunch, and then go out. YE Pacific Hurricane 19:28, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • "It formed in tandem with two tropical depressions in the North Indian ocean.[11]" tandem? YE Pacific Hurricane 03:53, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "On November 10, the depression intensified into Moderate Tropical Storm Alexina," what scale? YE Pacific Hurricane 03:53, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • It isn't a scale, just a terminology for the basin. Should I link, or something? --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:10, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "which the JTWC assessed as having formed in the western Australian basin.[13]" link to tropical cyclone basins. YE Pacific Hurricane 03:53, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • I linked earlier to the Aus season. Not sure if the link to basins is most appropriate. Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 17:38, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'd leave a note about how the JTWC and MFR use 10 and 1 minute sustained winds instead of mentioning it 100 times. YE Pacific Hurricane 03:53, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The intertropical convergence zone spawned a tropical disturbance in the northeast portion of the basin on December 9. " Link to ITCZ. YE Pacific Hurricane 03:53, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "On January 11, a tropical low formed northwest of Broome, Western Australia. It was named Pearl a few hours later by the Bureau of Meteorology.[18] " which TCWC? Perth? YE Pacific Hurricane 03:53, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • I think that's kinda unnecessary. I tried keeping the history out of the basin to a minimal. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:10, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "As the system moved west of 90°E, " you were suppose to have linked to 90E above :P (That's the weakness from doing articles backwards, it is hard to manage wikilinks.) YE Pacific Hurricane 03:53, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "High wind shear caused rapid weakening, and by January 19, there was little remaining convection.[4] " no need to source ref 4 here since you did it in the same block of text without any intervening references. YE Pacific Hurricane 03:53, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Cyclone Geralda, the strongest of the season and the strongest to hit Madagascar since a cyclone in March 1927.[4][16] " why is this the first sentence. YE Pacific Hurricane 03:53, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Nationwide, the cyclone killed 231 people and caused over $10 million in damage (1994 USD).[4]" nice sentence, but no need for year, you mention the year in a note at the start of an article. YE Pacific Hurricane 03:53, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • " Few stocks were pre-positioned, causing food prices to rise greatly. Several countries and departments of the United Nations donated money or supplies to the country.[16][20][4]" order the refs numerically. YE Pacific Hurricane 03:53, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The monsoon trough remained active, spawning a tropical depression on February 6 south of the Chagos Archipelago. " you linked that earlier FYI. YE Pacific Hurricane 03:53, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • " and that day Hollanda struck the island of Mauritius at that intensity. " same here :P YE Pacific Hurricane 03:53, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "$135 million in damage on Mauritius.[25][23] " order the refs numerically. YE Pacific Hurricane 03:53, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The highest rainfall from the cyclone fell on Réunion, with 741 mm (29.2 in) recorded at Grand Coude." link is red by the way. YE Pacific Hurricane
  • See Hollanda's article for Ivy impact. YE Pacific Hurricane 03:53, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "despite that the system did not intensify into a moderate tropical storm, the Meteorological Service of Madagascar named the depression Julita on February 17. " it's Mauritius not Madagascar, BTW. YE Pacific Hurricane 03:53, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • The ref said Madagascar. Both Madagascar and Mauritius can name storms. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:10, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Watch for overlinking in Litanne section. YE Pacific Hurricane 03:53, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "On March 10, the MFR estimated the system became a tropical depression once it developed a central dense overcast,[4] " you link the above, BTW. YE Pacific Hurricane 03:53, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) estimated 1 minute winds of about 220 km/h (140 mph).[32] "

you've covered what the JTWC is already! YE Pacific Hurricane 03:53, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • " although it reintensified slightly before making landfall in northeastern Mozambique on March 24." you've linked landfall like 3 times already :P 03:53, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
  • " estimated at about $20 million (1994 USD).[34]" um, you've left a note what 1994 USD is. YE Pacific Hurricane 03:53, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Effects spread as far inland as Malawi.[36]" be specific. YE Pacific Hurricane 03:53, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • " Odille developed a well-defined eye 45 km (28 mi) in diameter, and MFR estimated peak winds of 175 km/h (109 mph),[4]" wanna round? YE Pacific Hurricane 03:53, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Same overlinking thing applies to Odile, LPA, shear, eye feature, and Rodrigues, were all linked above. YE Pacific Hurricane 03:53, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • On ref #1, links to NHC. YE Pacific Hurricane 03:53, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Now, address these, so we can get our 3rd SWIO GT. YE Pacific Hurricane 03:53, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
