# Talk:Typhoon Ruth (1991)

#### Preparations and impact
Use 13,660 per source instead of "13.6 thousand"
Deseret News ref title should be sentence case
We cannot be sure the family of 3 in Baguio is considered in the UPI ref
"Three people were injured due to falling trees, with heavy winds also causing the city to lose power.", are were still referring to Baguio? If so, switch orders with the line about 100 destroyed homes.
Can't find anything about the bus station and small hotel in the USAID ref.
The two individuals who were struck by flying debris died I suppose, so that should be added.
UPI ref in para 2 just needs to be used once at the end of the snapped power lines sentence.
The Hour said Manila's population is 8 million.
Alright this is part 1 of my review for this setion, I have para 3 left. But my meds are kicking so I'll continue the rest of the review after I get some shut eye. I noticed close paraphrasing is still a recurring problem here ... Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 14:28, 14 October 2024 (UTC)

Narvacan National Central High School website is WP:SPS, find a secondary source or omit
I cannot infer a relatonship between Mapanuepe Lake with the Marella and Santo Tomas rivers like the article writing implies. This late appears to be a feature of the Mapanuepe river from the source. Please clarify.
"More lahars were also seen in the Pasig-Potrero River, the river's highest since 1654." I believe 1654 is a timestamp not the year, also how high was it?
Forex ref is redundant, you may omit.
UPI also said Dagupan and Baguio were declared state of calamity. Is there a reason why they're left out?


#### Aftermath
Same USAID ref problem with verifiability


### Prose/MOS
Close paraphrasing needs to be addressed immediately.
MOS:NUMNOTES: Avoid beginning a sentence with a figure. There's a few instances where a figure begins the sentence; either spell in full or reword.
Lead uses "13,600" but body went with "13.6 thousand"
The Kennon Road bit in Prep. and impact feels out of place, move it to where the article discusses Baguio city
"18.44 million yen (USD$137 thousand) of damage occurred due to a forest road and ten farm roads sustaining some damages", should be in active voice
"Later estimates", by who?
Did the Southern Cross sink near Taiwan, or elsewhere?
Abreviate Public Storm Warning Signals
"thirteen" → "13"
"The remnants of Ruth helped stimulate a frontal low which was stalling south of the Ryukyu Islands", this can be reduced
"also destroying many of the barns where the crop was processed." → "and many of the barns where the crop was processed."
"Trining" and "Julian" in parentheses unnecessary
"a person was hit by flying debris", and they died right?
Just link Basco to the respective article, omit Batanes from the blue font
"the system produced heavy rainfall, which peaked in Ohara, which received 152 mm" avoid repeting "which"
Why is it that the exact winds and pressure figures in infobox aren't mentioned in the body?
Krathon is linked in the body so omit the see also


### POV/Coverage

Hi @Tavantius, I've completed my review. Please address the GA issues over the next 7 days. Feel free to let me know if you need more time or clarify my points. Thanks! Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 03:29, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
I think I fixed all your issues. How's the article now? Tavantius (talk) 14:58, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
You left out a few points but that's fine, I worked on it and did a little bit of copyediting. I'll go through the article again primarily for parphrasing or verbatim. That's the only thing left for this review. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 23:21, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
Paraphrase: "passing through the Caroline Islands" > crossing the Caroline Islands
Repetition: "Intensifying steadily as it moved northwestward and tracked between Guam and Ulithi" > Intensifying steadily as it tracked northwestward through Guam and Ulithi
After the line about eye formation, the "September 23" suddenly appears, do you mean October?
"After tracking west-northwestwards across the Philippine Sea" phrase is too identical with source, reword
"having a diameter of 60 NM (110 km) as a result of this" > did the rapid weakening cause the eye to expand or it happened during this stage? I interpret the source with the latter definition.
"causing the latter to temporarily weaken and Ruth to recurve northwestward." > I'm not familiar with typhoons, so I understand it as: MTT weakened the SR which allowed Ruth to recurve? I think there should be a clear link Ruth interacting with the ridge affects its path towards Luzon.
"A deeper mid-tropospheric trough picked up Ruth, making it recurve south of Taiwan, causing it to exit the PAR on October 30." > copyediting probably needed
The OFDA report keeps linking me to FY1987, I also looked into FY 1991 and couldnt find anything about Ruth.
HKO source said Ruth destroyed over 100 homes, not hundreds of homes
The article is in better shape though there are some minor problems left Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 03:55, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
Fixed all those issues, especially the OFDA report, which I changed the link so it should show you the section on Ruth. Tavantius (talk) 12:31, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
