Promoted to A-Class: I can only say that I am sastified with the current structure of the article, and for that I am promoting this to A-class. Mario Jump 83! 10:54, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hurricane Olivia (2018)[edit]

Support from LightandDark2000

I will get this review started, as the first reviewer: LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 08:43, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

I would link rapid intensification in the lead (unless it would be better linked in the MH).

Done. Noah^Talk 14:59, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

$300,000–$400,000 I would specific that these are in 2018 USD, since this is the first mention of monetary figures in the lead.

Specified. Noah^Talk 14:59, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Change "President Donald Trump" to "U.S. President Donald Trump". And then, link "U.S. President" to President of the United States. Those of us in America aren't the only ones reading this article, and we should be more specific with the titles of the heads of state.

Done. Noah^Talk 14:59, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Meteorological history

Link Caribbean Sea.

Linked. Noah^Talk 14:59, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Link "subtropical" to subtropics.

Linked. Noah^Talk 14:59, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Olivia had become an annular hurricane, developing a cloud-free eye embedded within a symmetric, ring-shaped central dense overcast. The linked NHC discussion states that Olivia had an Annular Hurricane Index of 100 (the maximum value on the scale for determining annularity). Can you please mention this as well, since this system is in use? The annular tropical cyclone article has a brief chunk that explains the Annular Hurricane Index (which I added recently). If the NHC felt that this was worth mentioning, I think that it's notable enough for us to mention this in the article.

I didn't mention this originally because it comes off as technical jargon. I thought it was better to just mention what the storm structure was doing. Noah^Talk 14:59, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. I guess that's fine, then. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 01:25, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Concerning the maximum sustained winds, you should either specify here or in the lead that the winds are 1-minute sustained winds, unless otherwise stated. Because different regions/basins of the world use different metrics for determining sustained winds in a tropical cyclone.

Mentioned in met. Noah^Talk 23:23, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

with its eye disappearing and the cyclone weakening to a minimal Category 1 storm by 12:00 UTC. Add a comma after "disappearing".

Done. Noah^Talk 23:23, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The end of the MH says that Olivia became post-tropical/a remnant low on September 14, while the infobox says that Olivia became post-tropical on September 13. Can you please resolve this contradiction? We should go with the TCR for this one. From what I see, the TCR says that Olivia became a remnant low at 06:00 UTC on September 14.

FIxed the infobox. Noah^Talk 23:23, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Impact and aftermath

I would consider comparing the impacts from Olivia to past TCs that came close to the islands of Lana and Maui and affected them (even though they didn't make landfall), if there are any notable storms that had such effects on those islands in the past. This is because Olivia is the first recorded instance of a TC landfalling those islands, so some historical perspective on the precedent might provide readers with more insight on how this storm compared to prior events. Though if there are no comparable events in the past (in terms of impacts), then this point is essentially moot.

I'm not supposed to be making comparisons of my own as that is OR/SYNTH. I haven't seen any sources that compare Olivia to another storm. Noah^Talk 23:23, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's unfortunate. Well, we can't use what isn't out there. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 01:25, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Change "President Donald Trump" to "U.S. President Donald Trump". For our international readers.

Done. Noah^Talk 23:23, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Overall, this article is pretty solid and well-written. There are only a few issues that I feel need to be addressed, and a couple of expansions that I would like to see before I would be willing to support the A-Class promotion. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 08:43, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm formally supporting the A-Class promotion now. We still need at least another reviewer. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 01:25, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There are several red links in the article, but I am going to ignore it for now. I'm satisfied with the article and I agree with LightandDark2000 (I have a strong feelings that no one is going to take it anyway, especially since both Hink, Destroyeraa and YE are busy), so I'm going to formally close this review and passing this for A-class.
