Hello, Hurricanehink. I will be reviewing this article tonight to see whether or not it is worthy to be considered a Good Article. I have found a few issues, but that shouldn't hinder this article from being upgraded to GA, provided that the following are fixed and/or addressed in a timely manner.--12george1 (talk) 02:04, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Cyclonic Storm Komen was an unusual tropical cyclone that originated near the southern coast of Bangladesh" - I feel like this may be a stupid question, but why exactly was it unusual? Weird track, formed unusually close to land?

The track so close to land, one of only four cyclonic storms in the month of July, having its origins over Bangladesh and then hitting the same country. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:47, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"The system turned westward over land" - Saying "northwestward" would be much more accurate.

Not really. It moved northward into Bangladesh, then it headed westward once inland. The JTWC track doesn't show it all. [1] ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:47, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm assuming no further preparations for Bangladesh and none for Myanmar, right?

I wouldn't say none for Myanmar. I just couldn't find any good preparations. Because it was such a weak storm, I don't imagine there were storm-specific preparations in Myanmar, particularly as the area affected is populated by the persecuted Rohingya people. At most, there might have been flood warnings, but I can't find. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:47, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Rain-induced landslides killed five people in Cox's Bazar, and two others died in the town due to flooding." - No info on how the other 14 people died?

Usually once the death toll reaches ~15, the media stops reporting on individual causes and locations, and just includes the summary. There might be a government report somewhere, but I haven't found it. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:47, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Offshore, the storm capsized a boat, while onshore, flooding resulted in landslides." - Is there any reason why this is here? You've already mentioned a capsized boat and landslides. Otherwise, unless there was another incident with a boat capsizing, I'd cut that off, move the second part to between the second and third sentence of that paragraph, and then do a little bit of re-wording.

Oops, that was from an early version of the article. I moved stuff around. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:47, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reference #14 is missing an accessdate.

Done! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:47, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That's all I could find. So fix or address these in a timely manner and I will be glad to list this as a Good Article.--12george1 (talk) 02:04, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, hope these are good now. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:47, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm gonna pass this article now.--12george1 (talk) 17:51, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
