Damage

The actual report states there was no damage, but the article does mention some (albeit minor) damages. Should we have the damage in the infobox as 'none' or 'minimal'? It currently says 'none' Shmego2 (talk) 23:25, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written. a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): It is factually accurate and verifiable, as shown by a source spot-check. a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism): It is broad in its coverage. a (major aspects): b (focused): It follows the neutral point of view policy. Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Pass/Fail:

The prose needs some tweaks (the affect/effect difference is one you need to know), but I think my bigger medium- and longer-term thought is the volume of agency and wire service stories. I feel like there may be duplication in some of the references as a result (see 30 to 27). I also need help finding 33 because MSN is not showing it to me and, in my experience, rarely holds on to pages on its site. Ping me when addressed.

@HurricaneEdgar Wanted to make sure you saw this. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 23:52, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'll do it by Saturday because I'm busy with school. I'm also working on the article about the President of Syria, which I have already edited. HurricaneEdgar 13:52, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I see you made some of the copy changes but did nothing to address some of the other issues, like the broken MSN link. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 19:59, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@HurricaneEdgar last call to get some of the remaining issues (MSN in particular) taken care of. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 07:14, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think that I have addressed some issues here. Also, I couldn't find any sources related to MSN, so I deleted it. HurricaneEdgar 07:28, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@HurricaneEdgar Almost there, but the new source AInvest certainly sounds like it's AI-generated. Find a better article and we will be able to finally conclude this review. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 19:11, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Replace it with a non-AI generated version. HurricaneEdgar 14:07, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Did you know? If you fancy doing so, I always have plenty of GA nominees to review. Just look for the all-uppercase titles in the Television section. Reviews always appreciated.

Copy changes

landfall Ōfunato, a city in Iwate Prefecture, Japan with missing an "in" as well as a MOS:GEOCOMMA after Japan. This is both in the lead and in the body.
At 09:00 UTC on August 6, the JTWC issued a tropical cyclone formation alert on the disturbance, which was located 423 mi (682 km) north-northwest of Iwo Jima Is the listing of imperial units first, not common elsewhere in this page, intended?
, and strong winds Try "as well as", as this comma is a little awkward otherwise.
the Iwate Prefecture remove "the" — this occurs several times in the second header.
Flooding effected homes wrong word, should be "affected". This occurs twice in the second header.

Sourcing and spot checks

The MSN link is broken. MSN seems to be terrible at hosting articles for long periods of time, which is why I looked into it in particular. I assume it is available from some other news site?

Reviewed: 14, 16, 27, 30, 33

[30], a larger version of what might be a similar AFP article to [27], says ANA canceled eight flights, not "many"; incorporate.

I wish there was more specificity about effects on specific rivers naming them.

Encouragement: Instead of website URLs, list website names where applicable, e.g. Anadolu Agency instead of www.aa.com.tr.
