 * State at the end of the lead how much damage and deaths the season as a whole caused.
 * "During January 2003, NIWA issued an updated outlook with the Northern Cook Islands and French Polynesia now predicted to experience a higher than average number of tropical cyclones, while Vanuatu was now predicted to experience a higher than average number of tropical cyclones." - Is there a way you could condense that to avoid redundancy and run-on? For example, "During January 2003, NIWA issued an updated outlook with the Northern Cook Islands, French Polynesia, and Vanuatu now predicted to experience a higher than average number of tropical cyclones."
 * "Tropical Depression 03F and Cyclone Zoe. Zoe was the" - Redundancy; avoid starting a sentence with the word used to end the previous sentence.
 * "In 2003, thirteen disturbances formed, of which eight developed into tropical cyclones; six intensified further and became severe tropical cyclones." - You should probably say, "In the first half of 2003...", since there were 3 other tropical cyclones that developed in the same basin later that year.
 * "Yolande had completed an transitioning into an extratropical cyclone" - Grammatical error; I think you meant: "Yolande had completed a transition into an extratropical cyclone".
 * "barometric pressure falling 40 mbar (1.2nbsp;inHg) to a minimum" - Missing an ampersand (&) there.
 * "After wind shear lessened, Cilla reached its peak intensity on January 28, attaining maximum winds of 75 km/h (45 mph) sustained over 10 minutes." Curious, why did you wait until now to actually mention a wind speed, after all, there were four other storm sections before this one.
 * "Tropical Storm Gina by June 5 about 600 mi (970 km) east-southeast of Honiara." "Category 3 tropical cyclone on the Australian intensity scale, with winds of 90 mph (140 km/h). The JTWC recorded winds of 105 mph (170 km/h)." - Why the sudden switch to American units of measure first. For example, it should be "970 km (600 mi)" to remain consistent with the rest of the article.
 * "36. ^ Gary Padgett (2003). "Monthly Global Tropical Cyclone Summary, June 2003"" - "Gary Padgett" --> "Padgett, Gary"
 * - Fixed the aforementioned issues. Also added peak intensity winds to a few more storms.  TheAustinMan (Talk·Works) 15:43, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Good job TheAustinMan. I will now pass this article.--12george1 (talk) 13:27, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
