Reviewer: Yellow Evan (talk · contribs) 15:09, 4 April 2012 (UTC) Hi, CB. I will be reviewing this article. YE Pacific Hurricane 15:09, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • "This article is about the Typhoon of 1989; for other storms of the same name, see Tropical Storm Gordon."Remove the dab from the top, and put a link to the dab in the see also section to be consistent with most WPTC articles. YE Pacific Hurricane 15:09, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Typhoon Gordon (known as Typhoon Goring in the Philippines)" wikilink Philippines. YE Pacific Hurricane 15:09, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "was a powerful tropical cyclone that caused widespread damage and loss of life in the Philippines and southern China. " two things, assuming you do the above, delink Philippines per WP:OVERLINKING. Also switch the China wikilink to Southern China, because per MOS, you want to get the best wikilink possible. YE Pacific Hurricane 15:09, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "After striking the northern Philippines" WP:OVERLINKING already linked earlier in the lead. YE Pacific Hurricane 15:09, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "1.2 billion yuan ($319 million USD)" What year? 1989? 2012? YE Pacific Hurricane 15:09, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "In early July, widespread showers and thunderstorms developed across the Western Pacific underneath a tropical upper tropospheric trough (TUTT)"see next comment
  • "By July 11, the system featured a small central dense overcast and soon became sufficiently organized for the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) to declare it as Tropical Depression 11W.[nb 1]" consistency, either the abbreviation should be included in the wikilink or it should not be included. YE Pacific Hurricane 15:09, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "cyclone's proximity to the Philippines, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration also monitored the storm and assigned it with the local name Goring.[3]" I'd put the abbreviated form (PASGA) in parentheses. YE Pacific Hurricane 15:09, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • No need since the abbreviation isn't used in the article. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 15:53, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Around the same time, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) assessed the storm to have attained 10-minute sustained winds of 185 km/h (115 mph) along with a minimum pressure of 915 mbar (hPa; 27.02 inHg).[4][nb 2]" see above. YE Pacific Hurricane 15:09, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Slight weakening took place hours before Gordon made landfall as a strong tropical storm near Zhanjiang in southern China on July 18." southern China to South China. YE Pacific Hurricane 15:09, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • If the first paragraph is preps, re-title to section to preparation and impact plz. YE Pacific Hurricane
  • "Residents along the coast were urged to take "extreme precaution."" why is "extreme precaution" in quotes? YE Pacific Hurricane 15:09, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • It's not a style of wording I use and it's taken directly from the source, therefore it requires quotes. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 15:53, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Any number of the people homeless in Hong Kong? YE Pacific Hurricane 15:09, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Any Twain impact? YE Pacific Hurricane 15:09, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Throughout southern China, at least 200 people were killed by the typhoon and damage amounted to 1.2 billion yuan ($319 million USD).[27]" Any exact number? YE Pacific Hurricane 15:09, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Otherwise, it is good. YE Pacific Hurricane 15:09, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • I believe I got to everything. Thanks for the review YE! Cyclonebiskit (talk) 15:53, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
