# Talk:Typhoon Nina (1987)

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. Hurricanehink 16:11, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
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.
Moved. YE Pacific Hurricane 04:58, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
Is there a reason you still have List of tropical cyclones? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  14:37, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
Axed. YE Pacific Hurricane 15:19, 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?
Changed. YE Pacific Hurricane 04:58, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
Why did you wait so long to link typhoon?
Moved. YE Pacific Hurricane 04:58, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
"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)
Listen, I like to avoid that JMA/JTWC crap in leads because IMO it is confusing. Look at all my other 80s WPAC articles. YE Pacific Hurricane 15:19, 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?
Fixed both. YE Pacific Hurricane
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)
Apparently it's the capital of Chuuk Lagoon, and I take it Meon is/was per the old version of the article. YE Pacific Hurricane 15:19, 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?
Better? YE Pacific Hurricane 04:58, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
"The town of Matnog sustained the worst damage from the typhoon. There, 287 people died." - merge
Done. YE Pacific Hurricane 04:58, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
Boac is a dab
Corrected. YE Pacific Hurricane 04:58, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
Too much of the 2nd lede paragraph is "In [X location], [Y effects happened]." Try changing up the structure
Better. YE Pacific Hurricane 04:58, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
"a little over 90,000 houses were destroyed" - is there a reason you used this wording instead of the equally factually "about 90,000..."
To mix it up, but changed. YE Pacific Hurricane 04:58, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
Why no Philippine death toll in the lead?
Noted. YE Pacific Hurricane 04:58, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
"An area of convection developed in mid-November near the International Date Line" - this could refer to anywhere from Antarctica to the North Pole.
Better? YE Pacific Hurricane 04:58, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
Kinda, but that could still be in the SHEM. Give people some general idea where the storm formed. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  14:37, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
I added NHEM, but feel it's too wordy now. YE Pacific Hurricane 15:19, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
"a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA) was issued by the JTWC" - avoid passive voice
Tweaked. YE Pacific Hurricane 04:58, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
"Continuing to rapidly become better organized while moving west-northwest, the JTWC " - the JTWC was becoming organized?
Right :P YE Pacific Hurricane 04:58, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
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)
I was afraid you were gonna bring this up. Should be fixed though. YE Pacific Hurricane 15:19, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
" 110 km (68 mi)" - round?
Whoops. YE Pacific Hurricane 04:58, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
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
Cut back a little. Better, worse, or the same? YE Pacific Hurricane 04:58, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
Little better, but could you merge two of the paragraphs? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  14:37, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
 Done. YE Pacific Hurricane 15:19, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
" 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?
Fixed. YE Pacific Hurricane 04:58, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
Where was the Luzon landfall?
That's unfortunately quit vague in the ATCR. YE Pacific Hurricane 04:58, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
Do you have the landfall point? If so, you can give the mileage to the nearest major city or province. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  14:37, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
No. YE Pacific Hurricane 15:19, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
"After passing near Truk, which has a population of 42,000, Typhoon Nina brought heavy damage to the area." - after or while?
Changed. YE Pacific Hurricane 04:58, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
"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.
Better? YE Pacific Hurricane 04:58, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
No. Why did you get rid of the bit about crop damage? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  14:37, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
Brought back, but I don't like the wording at all. YE Pacific Hurricane 15:19, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
"many fisherman ignored the aforementioned warnings and refuse to feel to higher ground" - what does this mean?
Was I drunk? Anyhow, fixed. YE Pacific Hurricane 04:58, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
Are you still drunk?! "many fisherman ignored the alters and refused to flee to higher ground" - the alters?? ♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  14:37, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
Maybe. Fingers crossed, but I think it is fixed. YE Pacific Hurricane 15:19, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
"where 287 people drowned due to storm surge" - were all of the deaths due to storm surge? Or just most
All it seems. YE Pacific Hurricane 04:58, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
" 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
Good call. YE Pacific Hurricane 04:58, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
"Around 11,000 lb (5,000 kg) of rice was withdrawn for uses in eight provinces" - what do you mean, withdrawn?
Cleared up. YE Pacific Hurricane 04:58, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
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)
The article is beloved by all :P! YE Pacific Hurricane 15:19, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

Add stuff from RW. YE Pacific Hurricane 18:40, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
