Talk:Tropical Storm Bilis

Todo
I seriously need help cleaning this up, because I'm finding some inconsistencies in the damage reports (the very few of them I can read or otherwise make out). I can't find any indication of 15 billion yuan in damage. The impact section is basically everything Momoko contributed to the season article. --Core des at talk. o.o;; 02:20, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Never mind, I found some English sources. Looks like this was quite a damaging storm. --Core des at talk. o.o;; 03:11, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

The maximum wind speeds are inconsistent: 60kt in the infobox and 55kt in the storm history. Otherwise, good job with little information. —Cuivi é nen 03:57, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Whoops. Fixed. --Core des at talk. o.o;; 04:17, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Upped to Mid-class importance; over $1 billion in damages and over 500 deaths is definitely very significant. May even warrant High-class importance, though finding sources for information will be very difficult. —Cuivi é nen 15:20, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Is this a B-class? íslenska hurikein #12 (samtal) 15:50, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Probably not. There's still some cleanup that needs to be done, and I'm in the process of converting the references to cite web format. Half the ReliefWeb links I used are now dead for whatever reason, so I'm also replacing them with alternative ones. --Core des at talk. ^_^ 00:05, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * All citations are now in cite web format. I'll be adding a section on the coverup accusations later. I think this could be B-class. --Core des at talk. ^_^ 03:36, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Impact Pictures
Well, I found some impact pictures, but they're not free. I might need help finding some pictures that are free for us to use. --Core des at talk. o.o;; 10:30, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Redesignation?
Does anyone think this will be officially declared a typhoon when they review it? (Since there is no real "typhoon season", that could be anytime) CrazyC83 18:44, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * most likely. íslenska hurikein #12 (samtal) 18:45, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Quite possibly. PAGASA had this as a 70 kt typhoon, if I recall correctly, so the JMA might do the same. --Core des at talk. o.o;; 21:10, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

JMA often downgrades a typhoon to STS in post-analysis (such as Utor, Chanthu) but rarely (if not never) upgrades a storm.Momoko

Coverup accusations
Looks like the PRC government is accusing local governments of covering up damage and casualty statistics. Should this be included in the article? --Core des at talk. o.o;; 00:50, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * sure. The more the merrier. :P íslenska hurikein #12 (samtal) 02:08, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm going to wait to see what becomes of this before I add it. --Core des at talk. o.o;; 14:35, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Added. --Core des at talk. ^_^ 04:16, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Good article has passed
An expansion would be good for FA, but nevertheless, the aricle meets the criteria. Iola k ana • T 20:47, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

GA Sweeps Review: Pass
As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "Meteorology and atmospheric sciences" articles. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. I have made several minor corrections throughout the article. Altogether the article is well-written and is still in great shape after its passing in 2006. Continue to improve the article making sure all new information is properly sourced and neutral. It would also be beneficial to update the access dates of the website sources. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have updated the article history to reflect this review. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 21:23, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
