# Talk:Tropical Storm Bolaven (2018)

That makes no sense. At the very least it would be equal, but it should surpass the 10 minute winds. Alex of Canada (talk) 10:19, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

ESCAP/WMO 13th IWS Member Report by Philippines - 4 dead, 9 injured

Lead

in as many weeks — Is this anywhere in the body of the article?
Removed since sources don't give a specific time frame. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 07:48, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
areas that had already suffered severe effects — Ditto.
Changed wording. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 07:48, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
at least 11,000 people were evacuated from their homes — Can you really say "were evacuated"? That sounds like an official declaration that they had to leave.
Rewrote this. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 07:48, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
Meteorological history

was named Bolaven by the JMA — If the JMA is the Japan Meteorological Agency, this should be clarified.
I forgot to abbreviate this... ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 07:48, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
Bolaven's time as a tropical storm was short — Sounds a bit flowery/editorial.
Removed it. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 07:48, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
Effects

Bolaven, known in the Philippines as Tropical Depression Agaton — That the JMA named the storm Bolaven is discussed in the above section. Why is its second name, Agaton, in this section instead?
Added naming by PAGASA to MH. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 07:48, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
was the third of three consecutive systems that impacted the Visayas and Mindanao, after tropical storms Kai-tak (Urduja) and Tembin (Vinta). — Meaning there were no other tropical storms in the world between any of those three?
There were, just not in the Western Pacific. Meant that it was the third system to hit Visayas and Mindanao since Dec 2017, and reworded accordingly. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 07:48, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
was hoisted — Meaning a physical flag or something similar?
Reworded. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 07:48, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
Port closures across the Philippines affected over 3,600 passengers — Does that include the aforementioned 1,200?
Yes, reworded to link the two sentences more closely. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 07:48, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
Bolaven affected a total of 236,449 families — What does "affected" mean? Their houses were torn down? Their evening TV program was replaced with an urgent storm-advisory program?
Presumably people who were hit by rain and wind from the cyclone. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 07:48, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
two fishermen hailing from Iloilo — Why not just "two fishermen from Iloilo"?
No idea why I wrote that, honestly. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 07:48, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

You mention how two other storms spanned two seasons, but you don't explicitly state in the article that Bolaven did so itself.
Whoops, I completely forgot to look over this section. Since the season runs year-round in the Western Pacific, spanning two seasons or calendar years (same thing) isn't rare and not particularly worth mentioning. Replaced with storms that had more similar tracks/impacts, and added the relevant set index articles. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 07:48, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
