GA Review[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:Typhoon Nora (1973)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: Yellow Evan (talk · contribs) 02:27, 23 April 2013 (UTC) Since we have so many GAN's, Ill review this one. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane[reply]

"Typhoon Nora was the third-most intense tropical cyclone on record." I'd mention it was tied for Ida. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane
- Wording would be a bit awkward IMO to do that, clarified it later on. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:25, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
" ranking it as tied for the most-intense tropical cyclone on record at the time; however, this pressure has since been surpassed by two other typhoons." I'd change this to "At that time, it was tied for the most intense tropical cyclone on record; however, this pressure has since been surpassed by two other typhoons." The "ranking" seems weird to me IMO. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 02:27, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Tweaked Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:25, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
" Later that day, aircraft reconnaissance revealed the system to have intensified into a tropical storm, at which time it was assigned the name Nora.[1]" link to Hurricane Hunters. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 02:27, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Linked to Weather reconnaissance since it's the more accurate link for the WPac. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:25, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"This intensity ranked Nora as the most-intense tropical cyclone on record in the world, alongside Typhoon Ida in 1958; however, in post-storm analysis, it was noted that since the dropsonde did not record a pressure at the storm's center, Nora was likely slightly stronger than indicated.[4]" I'd break these two sentences up, but that's just me. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane
- Cut it off at the semi-colon. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:25, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"As the storm neared landfall in China, two ships became stranded over the South China Sea and sent out distress signals.[12]" what are distress signals? YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 02:27, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Exactly what it sounds like, signals that indicate the ships are in need of help. :) Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:25, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You wikilink PDF twice in the refs. YE ^Pacific ^Hurricane 02:28, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Five times actually, but I've never had an issue with this :P . Delinked for sake of not arguing. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:25, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that covers all the comments. Thanks for the review YE! Cyclonebiskit (talk) 17:25, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

On 4 December 2022, it was proposed that this article be moved to Typhoon Nora. The result of the discussion was not moved.

Typhoon Nora (1973) → Typhoon Nora – There was a typhoons named Nora in other years, but 1973 Typhoon Nora, which caused a lot of damage, is the most famous.--126.208.11.200 (talk) 02:18, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose – The target title is taken, and this primarytopic grab is not clearly justified. And the three RMs should have been done as one to save us a lot of redundant talk. Dicklyon (talk) 03:46, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – Per Dicklyon. There are too many typhoons named Nora (which have articles); moving the page will be quite disastrous. Timothytyy (talk) 04:20, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
