Per IRC, I am reviewing this article. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:07, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'd retitle the season summary to season summary and predictions to be like most recent ATL storms. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:49, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- OK. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:35, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"On March 6, meteorologists from University College London at TropicalStormRisk.com issued a forecast for the season, indicating the potential for average activity due to sea surface temperatures expected to be slightly warmer than usual" "due to" sounds weird here, I suggest changing it to "since". YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:49, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I disagree - "since" doesn't have the same conjunctional properties as "due to". --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:35, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"In storm information below, wind-speed advisories differ from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) to the JMA as the JTWC uses the United States criteria of 1-minute mean to designate maximum sustained winds, while the JMA uses the 10-minute mean wind criteria to designate tropical cyclone maximum sustained winds. This difference generally results in JTWC maximum winds appearing higher than the maximum winds described by the JMA for the same cyclone. Most of the 31 cyclones that developed this year either remained out at sea or were weak at landfall." source? YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:49, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The source is the summaries themselves. How could I cite that most storms remained at sea. Only Guam got struck by a strong typhoon. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:35, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - The BT. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:35, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - The BT doesn't list every landfall though. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:59, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - Bad JMA. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 01:35, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"the typhoon continued to intensify, reaching peak winds of 175 km/h (110 mph) 10 minute sustained) on March 5.[8]" who do you mention this here and not Tapah's section. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:49, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Tapah was short-lived and didn't have a significant difference in the wind speeds. I'm assuming you meant why, and not who. If you mean who, technically we shouldn't have to, since JMA is the official warning center, so officially the storm's peak was whatever they said. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:35, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"The JTWC estimated peak winds of 260 km/h (160 mph 1 minute sustained)" see above. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:49, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- See above. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:35, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"The JTWC estimated peak winds of 260 km/h (160 mph 1 minute sustained) while the storm was located about 610 km (380 mi) east of Catanduanes in the Philippines; this made Mitag a super tyhoon, the first one on record in the month of March" Wow, big sentence. Could you break it up. Thanks. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:49, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- It isn't that big, it has a semicolon. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:35, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Any other impact for Mitag? YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane
- It has a sub-article, so I opted not to go into too much detail. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:35, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
also, why don't you put the death for Mitag in in the middle and not the end? YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:49, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I did it mostly chronologically. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:35, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
any other impact for Caloy. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:49, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Not that I could find. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:35, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"after which the eye began weakening.[24]" how can an eye weaken? YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:49, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Its shape deteriorates and loses definition. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:35, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"The developing storm dropped rainfall on Guam that ended the island's wildfire season.[25] " why is this in mid-section
- I don't get your question. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:35, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - - You do because you replied to similar comments. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:35, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'd expand Chataan and Rusa section's more, they were the worst storms of the season. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:49, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- They have sub-articles, and I tried to keep the overall length of the article manageable. I kept the most important info on them. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:35, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"The storm disrupted relief efforts from Chataan, causing additional power outages but little damage.[46]" why is there impact in the MH part of the section???? YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:49, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- What do you mean? --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:35, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
" On July 18, the typhoon reached its peak intensity of 185 km/h (115 mph 10 minute winds), according to the JMA, making it the strongest storm of the season. The JTWC estimated peak winds of 270 km/h (165 mph 1 minute winds)," We already know this. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:49, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- How? I don't get your comment. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:35, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - You replied to this above, so you don't have to worry about this comment. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:35, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"Across Japan, the typhoon dropped torrential rainfall peaking at 902 mm (35.5 in) in Tokushima Prefecture.[86]" plz move this to the end of the paragraph. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:49, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"On September 4, the typhoon's eye crossed over Okinawa.[9] It dropped heavy rainfall and produced strong winds that left over 100,000 people without power.[93] Damage on the island was estimated at $14.3 million.[94][nb 5] Sinlaku left about $3.6 million in damage to Kadena Air Base on Okinawa.[9]" I think you know what needs to be done here, but I am starting to think you did it for a reason. Please explain why above. Thank you. FYI, you don't do this in Higos's section. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:49, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Not every storm section needs to have a MH paragraph and an impact paragraph. If a storm lasts for a while, and it impacts several areas, it's better to mention the impact when you mention the area it hits. As for Higos, its impact only happened where it made landfall, so the separate impact paragraph makes sense. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:35, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
" The JMA estimated peak winds of 150 km/h (90 mph 10 minute sustained),[8] and the JTWC estimated peak winds of 215 km/h (135 mph 1 minute sustained).[9] " no eed for 10 and 1 min sustaine dIMO as they are mentioned earlier. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane
- I mention it every time. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:35, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
An area of thunderstorms increased near the FSM on September 15 within the monsoon trough." FSM? YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:49, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- It's mentioned several times. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:35, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"Late on November 24, it weakened below typhoon status, and early on November 25 Haishen became extratropical." comma after 25. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:49, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Does it need one? --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:35, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Why aren't the places listed in the SE chart are not linked and the storms are? YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:49, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't get your question, sorry. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:35, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - WP:Overlink is why.Jason Rees (talk) 22:41, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Yea, but the storms are linked and the places (which are not major for the most part. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 00:35, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - I removed the only place that still had a link, for consistency. I link the storms, as they are also linked in the storm names section, but didn't link the locations per WP:OVERLINK. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 00:59, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"The following table does not include unnamed storms, and PAGASA names are in parenthesis. Storms entering from the Central Pacific only include their information while in the western Pacific, and are noted with an asterisk *." source? YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:49, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- For what? I included what I did in the season summary. How can I cite that I used an asterisk? <ref>{{cite web|author=User:Hurricanehink}}</ref> :P --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:35, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

For the length of the article, this article is decent. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 20:49, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:35, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
