Well when i added this years i left a little space at the edge as PAGASA is within the WPAC naming system, also i would have this years name pointing at this years article. Jason Rees (talk) 23:47, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

When Japanese people talk about typhoons, they always use JMA designation (e.g. T6228, 28th typhoon in 1962) rather than typhoon names (e.g. Karen). Please refer to List of historic tropical cyclone names#Japan. So I'd like to add JMA designation to each typhoon.--HERB (talk) 12:45, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
