Hello Yellow Evan, I am going to be reviewing this article today. Luckily my issues with this article are just a bunch of minor things. I may add more stuff later, just so you know.--12george1 (talk) 19:38, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Just curious (Curious George :P), where does this typhoon rank when it comes to cost of damage in Japan? I'm not real familiar with the basin, but I don't think I have seen very many typhoons in Japan cause over $1 billion USD in damage.
  • It's likely up there, but I don't like making those kind of templates since there 1) ranky and 2) a pain in the ass.

• The names of the authors on reference #5 needs to be changed. They should be: Kenneth R. Knapp; Michael C. Kruk; David H. Levinson; Howard J. Diamond; Charles J. Neumann.
  • Good now?

      • This was fixed during a discussion on IRC--12george1 (talk) 23:23, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• The publisher for reference #21 doesn't make sense. Instead of "United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research", I think it should be "United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory". Remember to remove "Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory" from the |author= parameter.
  • Changed.
