• In the opening line, where in the series was Brian?
  • First. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 12:33, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
• The second sentence should say when it became a TS
  • Added Cyclonebiskit (talk) 12:33, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
• The last two sentences in the first lede paragraph have similar structures. Could you avoid the [Gerund clause, "the storm [verb]"... before] format.
  • Reworded Cyclonebiskit (talk) 12:33, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
• So the ridge weakened and re-intensified on September 30th?
  • Yup Cyclonebiskit (talk) 12:33, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
• Somewhere you should indicate whether JTWC winds were 1-min or 10-min.
  • added it into the parentheses Cyclonebiskit (talk) 12:33, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
• When did Brian strike Vietnam? The wording is ambiguous whether the 3rd or 4th. An exact time would be good, since landfalls are important.
  • Clarified Cyclonebiskit (talk) 12:46, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
• Similar to problem in lede, avoid two paragraphs starting with "Striking"
  • Reworded Cyclonebiskit (talk) 12:46, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
• were "soaked." - why the quotes? Who said it? And why is it important?
  • I don't know why I quoted it to be honest.... Removed the quotes. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 12:46, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
• "In light of the widespread damage caused by the storms" - I'd hardly say it was "In light" of something. "Because of" would be a much better phrase, IMO.
  • Changed to "Because of" Cyclonebiskit (talk) 12:46, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

The article is decent. Some sentences are a little clunky, and many could be combined, but I won't be that anal. Fix these and I'll be happy to pass. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:04, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
