Guam should be linked in the first mention.
- Done. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 16:05, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The track map differs from the prose. It did become extratropical over the Sea of Japan, but the map shows it tropical at that time.
- Track map is from JTWC so it's the usual JTWC vs JMA problem that springs up. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 16:05, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Use some pronouns to refer the storm other than "Zola".
- Changed two. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 16:05, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"7 people" Write out numbers less than ten.
- Yeah but I chose not to spell out "30". Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 16:03, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Thirty-eight homes" This shouldn't be written out, to be consistent.

...or you can write out all the numbers in the sentence.

You don't start a sentence with a number. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 16:03, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Sixteen ships" Same here.

I mean you're correct here, but I had to stick a "a total of" to avoid the same problem :P Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 16:05, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And in impact section.

The Yen sign should be used.
- Good call. Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 16:03, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"Tropical Storm Winona, also assisted" Remove "also".
- This made no sense till I read the full context of the sentence :P Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 16:03, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That should be it. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 04:23, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review :D Y E ^Pacific ^Hurricane 16:05, 22 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
