Lede

• Add Karen in parenthesis to the "Name=" parameter of the infobox, because other typhoon articles have there Filipino name, example: Typhoon Megi (Juan).
  • Ehh, I disagree. Megi was different, since it actually struck the Philippines. Rananim just happened to be in PAGASA's AOR. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:48, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
• "...strongest typhoon to make landfall on the Chinese province of Zhejiang since 1956." - I think you should add specifically the name of that typhoon the made landfall in Zhejiang in 1956, since when you go to the 1956 PTS, err 1950–56 Pacific typhoon seasons, there is only info for like three storms.
  • I don't think it's that needed in the lede, since its name wasn't that important. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:48, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
• "...overall damage was estimated at ¥20.1 billion ($2.44 billion 2004 USD), primarily in Zhejiang." - Add inflation template
  • K, lemme know if that looks weird. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:48, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Meteorological history

• "The origins of Typhoon Rananim were from an area of convection, or thunderstorms, that persisted west-northwest..." - I think you should erase "or thunderstorms,", although it would make it easier for someone unfamiliar with the subject, it sounds like there was uncertainty with how Rananim developed. It makes it seem like it developed from either an area of convection, or an area thunderstorms.
  • Yea, I was trying to make it clear to someone who wasn't familiar, but it does seem uncertain. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:48, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
• Wikilink "kilometre" and "miles per hour" where the article says "...the agency initiated advisories on Tropical Depression 16W about 780 km (485 mi)..."
  • No prob. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:48, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
• Delink the following (already wikilinked in the lede): Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration, Joint Typhoon Warning Center, Taiwan, eye, and landfall.
  • Well, PAGASA is abbreviated in the lede, so I think it should actually be linked in the article. Ditto the first link of JTWC in the MH (not in the diff section). I got the rest. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:48, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
• "...passing north of Taiwan before making landfall at 1300 UTC on August 12 near Wenling in Zhejiang province in China." - The wind speed at landfall is missing.
  • Reworded. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:48, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
• Hang, my question to which typhoon it was talking about in the lede has been answered, but I had to read until here to find out that is was Typhoon Sally?
  • Yea, I didn't feel like putting the name in the lede. I didn't think it was all that important up there. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:48, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Differences among warning centers (MH subsection)

• Delink: Japan Meteorological Agency and Joint Typhoon Warning Center
  • Pardon my overlinking. It's just too much fun to pass up. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:48, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
• "PAGASA had the lowest peak intensity, although Rananim was continuing to strengthen as it left the agency's area of responsibility." - It seems like kinda of a misuse of the term "although" since the fact that Rananim was still intensifying after it left PAGASA does not contradict that it had the lowest peak intensity there.
  • Yea, switched to "because". --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:48, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Preparations and impact

• "...the typhoon dropped moderate rainfall, reaching 345 mm (13.6 in) in Hsinchu." - Wikilink millimetres and inches
  • Okelydokery. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:48, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
• Delink: Taiwan and counties
  • Yerp. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:48, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
• "As it moved ashore, Rananim produced widespread rainfall across the country, primarily along its path." - Change the first part to "As it moved ashore in Zhejiang,", because I have to back track to the previous paragraph to know that it is going to talk about impact in China.
  • OK. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:48, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
• Add inflation templates to other currency values
  • K. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:48, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Aftermath

• Add inflation templates to other currency values
  • Actually, I deliberately didn't, since I felt it didn't add much with only seven years, and with it already having two figures (Chinese and USD). --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:48, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

References

• URL is exposed on ref #15
  • Fixed. Thanks for the review. Lemme know if anything else needs to be fixed. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 05:48, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
