Comments

 * Meteorological history, paragraph 3: "Land interaction took toll on the typhoon on November 12 as cloud tops temperatures surrounding the eye..." Is "cloud tops" supposed to be plural in that statement, as presented? Just want to make sure.
 * Should be singular.
 * Also, "...took a toll...", right? Says the 21st century, &#34;I&#39;m 18 and I like it!&#34; (talk) 09:34, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Actually, I think I've seen it worded like that on a regular enough basis for it to be assumed as a standard. Says the 21st century, &#34;I&#39;m 18 and I like it!&#34; (talk) 09:35, 31 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Preparations:
 * "Maximum storm alerts were raised in five islands of the central Philippines and lower warnings in the southern tip of Luzon island, where Manila is located, he said." Who said?
 * Just an old edit window c/p from a news article that never got axed. Re-wrote the entire sentence. YE Pacific Hurricane  07:05, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
 * "Authorities advised coastal residences to move to higher ground" Isn't that supposed to be residents?
 * Yes. YE Pacific Hurricane  07:05, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Impact:
 * Caroline Islands: "Damage on Paula totaled $2 million..." I think that's supposed to be Palau, but I'm having trouble navigating the maze of citations and body text, so I'm posting it here.
 * Correct. YE <sup style="color:#666660;">Pacific <sup style="color:#666660;">Hurricane  07:05, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Philippines:
 * Paragraph 2: "Eighty-eight ships sunk at the Cebu City harbor, the most ships ever sunk at the Cebu City harbor". Since we already know by the first half that this sentence is about what happened at Cebu City harbor, wouldn't it suffice to say "the harbor" in the second half?
 * Removed. YE <sup style="color:#666660;">Pacific <sup style="color:#666660;">Hurricane  07:05, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Paragraph 3:
 * Note 1: "Offshore, seventeen people, including six Americans, were rescued on an oil rig, but sixty-eight other workers were evacuated." Given the text surrounding this sentence, wouldn't it make more sense to say, "Offshore, seventeen people, including six Americans, were rescued on an oil rig, and sixty-eight workers were evacuated"?
 * Yes.YE <sup style="color:#666660;">Pacific <sup style="color:#666660;">Hurricane  07:05, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Note 2: "Another ship called the Iligan Flores was missing off the coast of Mindanao but no reports about the fate of the passengers and crew." I think "...but no reports were made about the fate..." would be more grammatically correct.
 * Added a "there were". YE <sup style="color:#666660;">Pacific <sup style="color:#666660;">Hurricane
 * Aftermath:
 * Paragraph 1: "''Philippines navy vessels being were utilized..." Oughtn't the "s" in "Philippines" to be dropped in this context? Also, the whole "being were..." thing.
 * I think you're right, and dropped "being". YE <sup style="color:#666660;">Pacific <sup style="color:#666660;">Hurricane  07:05, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Paragraph 2: "Typhoon Mike's damage to the infrastructure to Cebu..." Infrastructure to, or infrastructure of?
 * "Of" works better here probs. Switched. YE <sup style="color:#666660;">Pacific <sup style="color:#666660;">Hurricane  07:05, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Paragraph 4: "''PAGASA also retired the name Ruping and was replaced with Ritang..." Replaced it with Ritang, right? Says the 21st century, &#34;I&#39;m 18 and I like it!&#34; (talk) 09:31, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes. YE <sup style="color:#666660;">Pacific <sup style="color:#666660;">Hurricane  07:05, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
 * any update on this? Thanks in advance. YE <sup style="color:#666660;">Pacific <sup style="color:#666660;">Hurricane  04:56, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, I've been caught up the past fortnight. Anyways, I thank you for these adjustments; it looks like a go-for now! To the point that the words have become unintelligible. (talk) 22:16, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
