Todo[edit]
At present this is little more than a stub. It needs lots more info. Jdorje 21:53, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
http://www.reliefweb.int/rw/RWB.NSF/db900SID/OCHA-64BMV8?OpenDocument I found some impact info the question is how to add more info without messing up the structure of the article? Storm05 16:50, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
- Simply add the info in the subsections (Philippine info in the Philippine section, etc.) Hurricanehink 17:18, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
- Better or needs more Storm05 17:36, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
- For B-class I'd say it should have a little more. — jdorje (talk) 17:57, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
- I added more info and picture. Storm05 14:01, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
- You need to fix wording all around. The intro is very bland and should be expanded. The storm history should be 2 paragraphs. Words like giant and extremely should be replaced with more dynamic and correct words. Remove abouts in storm history (in Philippines section) and replace with exact amounts.

It's not only the wording. This article has a grand total of one source, and must be verified properly, preferably using inline {{cite web}} citations. Furthermore, there is no information on Preparation and Aftermath, and expansion is essential. Major improvements definitely required! - SpLoT (*T* C+u+g+v) 16:17, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

- There is no need for the disambiguation at the top. No one could get TS Nina confused with this storm. However, it would be a useful link in the see also section, more so than List of tropical cyclones.
- Is there a reason you still have List of tropical cyclones? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 14:37, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
- " was the most intense typhoon to strike the Philippines since Typhoon Irma in 1984." - that's only three years. Is there nothing more fancy? Like Xth deadliest Philippine storm?
- I think the Xth deadliest Philippine storm is too trivial. But Irma was six years, not three, so I fixed that. ~~ 04:58, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
- "and on November 19, was first classified as a tropical cyclone" - why does infobox say the 16th?
- Why did you wait so long to link typhoon?
- "before attaining its peak intensity of 170 km/h (105 mph)" - I was gonna ask if this was in 1-min or 10-min, but I noticed, this doesn't match either value in the infobox. So.......
- Fixed, and sticking to JMA since it's official. 04:58, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
- Now it says "before attaining its peak 10 minuet intensity of 175 km/h (110 mph)*", which is still inconsistent with the infobox. And JMA wasn't official then, it didn't become an RSMC until 1989. So if you want to say 10-minute winds there, you should say who said that? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 14:37, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
- Why did you link Truk Atoll twice? (its name is Chuuk Lagoon). And why is there a link to a river in England?
- Is Weno the same place as Meon? Also, you have a link for [[Chuuk Lagoon|Chuuk Lagoon]] Am I crazy or is that the same thing? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 14:37, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
- "After crossing the Philippines, Nina brought extensive damage to the northern portion of the island group." - so it caused damage *after* it crossed the islands? Not during?
- "The town of Matnog sustained the worst damage from the typhoon. There, 287 people died." - merge
- Boac is a dab
- Too much of the 2nd lede paragraph is "In [X location], [Y effects happened]." Try changing up the structure
- "a little over 90,000 houses were destroyed" - is there a reason you used this wording instead of the equally factually "about 90,000..."
- Why no Philippine death toll in the lead?
- "An area of convection developed in mid-November near the International Date Line" - this could refer to anywhere from Antarctica to the North Pole.
- "a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA) was issued by the JTWC" - avoid passive voice
- "Continuing to rapidly become better organized while moving west-northwest, the JTWC " - the JTWC was becoming organized?
- You have another one of those - "Following a significant increase in organization, the JTWC issued..." Don't use these dangling participles. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 14:37, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
- " 110 km (68 mi)" - round?
- The MH is a bit long, but not because of excessive details. You mention a lot about intensification slowing, continuing, and small changes in movements. In the grand scheme of things, I think these can be cut down a bit
- " 215 km/h (135 mph), making it a low-end Category 5 system" - 135 mph is C4. But lead says 165 mph. Which one is right?
- Where was the Luzon landfall?
- "After passing near Truk, which has a population of 42,000, Typhoon Nina brought heavy damage to the area." - after or while?
- "Hundreds of people were evacuated while the typhoon also inflicted severe crop damage" - neither relate to each other, so why are they mentioned in the same sentence? The whole section just seems like a jumble of text without much flow.
- "many fisherman ignored the aforementioned warnings and refuse to feel to higher ground" - what does this mean?
- "where 287 people drowned due to storm surge" - were all of the deaths due to storm surge? Or just most
- " Initially, only eleven provinces were declared a state of emergency,[35] but by November 29, this total increased to 17" - use the same number format
- "Around 11,000 lb (5,000 kg) of rice was withdrawn for uses in eight provinces" - what do you mean, withdrawn?
Overall the article is in decent shape, but it needs some more loving before I pass the nomination. On hold for now. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 03:59, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
- Still needs a bit more loving. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 14:37, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
