Slacking off at rating articles

This article is waiting to be rated but somehow somebody is asleep at the wheel since the articles that I wrote dont get a grade imedeatley. Storm05 20:02, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

I rated it as stub, though it's not far from start. Todo: More impact, longer intro, fix typos throughout the article, grammar fixes, longer storm history, and a pic for the infobox. Hurricanehink 23:47, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

I doubt we can find more impact on this storm becuase I went through google and found the same info after same info the only thing we can do is mention the strength of the storm and the storm history is as good as it gets so theres no need to expand storm history also I added the pic for the infobox.

Sorry to say it, but unless much more information can be found for the impact, then this should get merged. Hurricanehink 16:35, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Uh, this storm is infinitely more notable than Zeta or Epsilon or Vince, but those articles don't have *any* impact section. — jdorje (talk) 06:03, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

You're comparing apples to oranges. Those articles, which IMO should all stay and we should bring back CrazyC83's articles, are naturally more notable (not necessarily than this) for being part of the record breaking 2005 season. Also, one more time, storm's don't have to have an impact section to be notable. I consider a year-crossing storm or a European landfall very notable. Hurricanehink 11:44, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

That's my point exactly; I'm trying to compare meteorlogical notability here. Zeta is meteorologically slightly notable for being an off-season storm and year-crosser. Zeb is meteorologically extraordinarily notable for being one of the strongest storms ever to be recorded. — jdorje (talk) 21:46, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

My point was they were notable in the Atlantic. Because this is in the West Pacific, there's not a lot of enough information. That's why I think it could possibly be merged. Storm05 said himself that there's little information available. I would be fine with it creation, but there's not a lot of content here, and there's plenty of room for whatever's here in the season article. That said, this storm is very notable, and the main reason why I mentioned merging was in the hope that someone would add some more content. Hurricanehink 21:57, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

But you're still talking about the impact section. Yet Zeta has no impact section, yet is judged notable enough on meteorological grounds to have its own article. Zeta also could easily fit inside the storms-list article. Or are you talking about the Storm history section? While I agree that section should be longer, I doubt that making it so will be difficult. And it's still almost as long as Zeta's storm history. — jdorje (talk) 22:34, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

True, but, again, the only reason why I mentioned the possibility of merging was so more would be added to the impact section. 22:42, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Todo

Needs more impact. --Coredesat 10:03, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Disparity

The Strength records section says Zeb had a pressure of 872, but the infobox says 900. Which is correct? –Juliancolton | ^Talk 04:40, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

The infobox uses JMA the strength section is JTWC Jason Rees (talk) 15:40, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Move discussion in progress

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Typhoon Keith (1997) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RM bot 03:46, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

• "After reaching peak intensity, the typhoon struck northern Luzon, and quickly weakened over land." - No comma needed.
• "There were also 83 deaths in the country, which was compounded upon when Typhoon Babs struck the same region a week later." - "which was" -> "a number"?
• There are a lot of figures in the lead. Maybe add the common "Overall,..." sentence to sum everything up?
• "While passing north of Yapin the Caroline Islands, the depression intensified into a tropical storm according to the JTWC, which gave it the Zeb." - the Zeb sounds dangerous. Is that a disease? (you're missing a word :))
• "While near peak intensity, the JTWC estimated that winds of 185 km/h (115 mph) extended 95 km (60 mi), and galesextended 465 km (290 mi) from the center." - is there a purpose for this outside of just FYI?
• "It emerged into the Luzon Strait between the eponymous island and Taiwan with a much larger eyewall" - Que?
• "Late on October 15, Zeb passed within 19 km (11 mi) of Taiwan's east coast, before accelerating to the northeast due to a passing trough.[4][1]" - Don't need a comma after "coast". Also, I think the reference [1] should come before reference [4].
• "The JMA downgraded the typhoon to tropical storm status on October 16,[2] although the JTWC retained Zeb at that status." - At which status?
• "At 07:0 UTC on October 17" - 07:00.
• You start a lot of sentences with "Zeb". Try to get some variation in there...the cyclone, the system, the storm, etc.
• "Most of the damage occurred in Luzon, with little impacts elsewhere." - impacts -> impact.
• "Overall damage was estimated at ₱5.375 billion (PHP, $126 million USD) in damage" - Repetition.
• "High waves washed a cargo freighter aground in Shizuoka Prefecture, causing oil to leak and requiring assistance from the Coast Guard" - This reads funny to me.
• "The military was activated to help organize relief efforts,[15] using rubber boats and trucks to reached the hardest hit areas as floodwaters decreased." - reached -> reach.
• "Most evacuees returned home after the storm passed, excluding those who sustained damage." - The evacuees sustained damage?

That's all I could find. I'll pass once the above comments are addressed! TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk) 19:45, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
