Will do. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 18:17, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

When did Sagar become a tropical storm? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 08:02, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Added. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:37, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"making landfall over northwestern Somalia." why link those now and not in the first sentence? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 08:02, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why not indeed. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:37, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Sagar weakened into a remnant low on May 21. " infobox says May 20. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 08:02, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Eek, thanks. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:37, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"The storm also made the westernmost landfall in the North Indian Ocean," something about this bothers me... it's weird to say a system is the westernmost landfall in a given ocean. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 08:02, 19 December 2018 (UTC)+[reply]

Better? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:37, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Along its rare trajectory through the Gulf of Aden, Cyclonic Storm Sagar dropped rainfall in portions of coastal Yemen, northern Somalia, Djibouti, and Ethiopia.[15]" Yemen shouldn't be linked twice in the body. I mean this is an understanable mistake considering you did the impact first but still it id already linked in the MH. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 08:02, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Removed the one mention. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:37, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"The storm first affected Yemen's Socotra Island." two things. One, this is a dumpy sentence that could be combined with the previous sentence. Second,same overlinking problem applies here. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 08:02, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done. (insert poop emoji) ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:37, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Yemen's temporary capital Aden was hit by strong winds as tropical cyclone Sagar approached, prompting authorities to a call on residents to evacuate areas near the shore in the southern port city.[16]" and here too. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 08:02, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

De-link. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:37, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"The United Nations pledged $2.7 million" I assume this is USD, right? Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 08:02, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I assume so as well, but the source doesn't specify. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:37, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Norway sent kr30 million to Somalia after Sagar, continuing the humanitarian assistance the country began in 2017.[42]" missing a "that" before "began". Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 08:02, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Got that. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:37, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- @Hurricanehink: Did you miss this on your watchlist or just forgot or did you stop stalking my contribs? :P Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 18:38, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- Missed it on my watchlist. I saw when you claimed it but not the review, since I've been busy. Can I have a few more days? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:47, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- Of course lol I almost never fail GANs. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 18:49, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Yellow Evan: - how is it now? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 02:37, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'll pass this as soon as I save my edit. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 06:47, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Intensity[edit]

@Hurricanehink: is it true? https://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/tcdat/tc2018/IO/IO012018/txt/trackfile.txt 55 kt or 65 kt ? Dam222 🌋 (talk) 08:08, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Dam222: - that was operational. In post-season analysis, it was upgraded. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:14, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
