  • I'll do this tomorrow I suspect - seeing as there's n football on to distract me and I just have a thermo quiz to study for so between posting on a political forum and wiki, I'll have plenty of time tomorrow. YE Pacific Hurricane 07:50, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Any update @Yellow Evan:? This is why I don't like people claiming GA reviews. Hope my annoyance with the process doesn't make you a harsh reviewer :P ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 17:23, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I was distracted by other stuff online. YE Pacific Hurricane 20:15, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The circulation slowly became more defined,[3] developing a distinct low pressure area on October 5" that seems redundant as I'm not sure what you mean by distinct. If it was closed, mention that but otherwise, just axe the second bit and perhaps combine with the previous sentence. YE Pacific Hurricane 20:15, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Luban coexisted with Vere Severe Cyclonic Storm Titli, marking the first time since 1977 that two storms of such intensity were active at the same time in the North Indian Ocean.[1]" you should mention this before the JTWC bit because IMD uses VSCS, not the JTWC.

  • "due to upwelling, despite otherwise favorable conditions." it's not really clear here that upwelling is caused by slow movement (and the wikilink doesn't make it any clearer). But I'm not sure how to word this better without a really awkward sentence. I'd probably write this as "Influenced by two ridges, Luban resulted in slow motion that caused the storm to upwell cold water from its wind field, resulting in a weakening trend that started on October 11" but I'd get yelled at if I put this in a GAN. Fundamentally, the problem here is that you're trying to mention so many things at once:
    • The storm was influenced by two ridges.
    • The storm was moving slowly as a result
    • As a result of the storm's slow motion, it started upwelling cold water
    • As a result of the upwelling, it weakened.
    • Atmospheric conditions were conducive.
  • "The Oman Charitable Organization sent seven trucks with food and other supplies to eastern Yemen. The World Health Organization sent three tons of medical supplies, including kits for cholera, malaria, and general trauma.[29][27]" order the refs numerically.

Otherwise, it's good. YE Pacific Hurricane 20:15, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
