• The lead links to St Brandon. Although that's the title of the article, is that appropriate nomenclature? Normally islands like these are written as St. Brandon or Saint Brandon.
  • I'm not exactly sure, so I just spelled out "saint". --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:00, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• "After becoming extratropical on May 10, Manou dissipated three days later." The meteorological history may hint at this but does not explicitly state this.
  • Isn't the current wording close enough? "...on May 9 the cyclone weakened to tropical storm status. The next day Manou weakened to a tropical depression... MFR continued tracking the storm until it dissipated on May 13." ? --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:00, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• The infobox caption reads "Cyclone Manou near landfall" though if I read correctly Manou only neared the coast before stalling and moving southwards. TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 14:32, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Changed, good call! --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:00, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• "...Météo-France (MFR) to designate it Tropical Disturbance 16 at 1200 UTC." Is that missing an 'as' between 'it' and 'Tropical?'
  • I don't think so. They gave it that designation. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:00, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• "1 minute sustained winds" There should be a hyphen between 1 and minute. Same thing with "10 minute" later in the section.
  • Gotcha! --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:00, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• ...since satellite coverage began..." Any specific year this occurred?
  • Different throughout the world. Satellites were launched but not that good for a while in the SWIO. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:00, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• "...weakened to tropical storm status." According to which agency?
  • Both, actually. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:00, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• "...and the JTWC issued the last advisory." You should say 'its' and not 'the' since the MFR continued issuing its own advisories for Manou until May 13. TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 14:32, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Good call. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:00, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Section should be named 'Impact and aftermath' as the last paragraph of the section talks about donations and funds.
  • Works for me. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:00, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• "Before its final landfall..." Again, not sure if Manou actually made landfall, since in the meteorological history it says otherwise. Also, 'final' assumes there were multiple landfalls, and if my understanding is correct, Manou had none.
  • Crap :/ --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:00, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• "Japan provided $80,000 worth of supplies, including tents and jerrycans.^[11] Japan, the United States, Norway, and Germany donated about $1.27 million to Madagascar for relief." You should have a note saying that all figures are in United States Dollars, since all these countries, including Madagascar, use different currencies. TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 14:32, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • No prob. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:00, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• There should be an ndash (–) and not a hyphen (–) between Hubert and deadly.
• As always, consider adding additional storms to the see also section. Cyclone Giovanna, for example. TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 14:32, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Added one. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 15:00, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Toolserver scripts identified no additional issues. Good work! TheAustinMan^{(Talk·Works)} 14:32, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
