Typhoon June (1984) edit

  • The article was created May 25, and nominated May 30, so this is new enough. At more than 7000 characters of prose, this far exceeds the long enough criteria. The article is written from a neutral standpoint, and uses inline citations throughout all paragraphs. I detected no copying, close paraphrasing, or other copyvio issues, and neither did Earwig's tool. QPQ done. No image to talk about. The first hook is more interesting than the the ALT1 hook, so that is the hook I am reviewing and hope to see approved. However, there is a problem with this hook, in that while it appears within the article, it only appears within the lead and the infobox. It does not appear within the article body, and most importantly, nowhere is this tied to a citation. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 20:55, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
  • Yes it appears in the article body in the line "One hundred-twenty-one people were killed", but I see how one would get confused. And yes it is cited in the article and hook (see Ref #11); I cite everything where the information ends. YE Pacific Hurricane 21:17, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
  • - yes, I missed this. Hook is fine as written, it is directly cited, and the source verifies the claim. This is ready for and deserving of mainspace exposure. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 21:22, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
