I'll quickly review this so there aren't so many articles in the queue. hmm... few things right off the top. is that infobox right? there's that empty space, kinda looks bad. mh is a good length, but theres some problems.

you have "about 90 miles, (140 km), " - shouldn't you avoid those commas for the units?
where did the initial tropical depression come from? most mh articles have some sort o f precursor (like tropical wave or something)

JR, any word on this? –Juliancolton | ^Talk 20:00, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ive added a phrase to deal with this but specfic origins such as "it moved off the coast of africa as a Tropical Wave are rarely available as Nadi generally doesn't talk about them.Jason Rees (talk) 20:13, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

wat about the jtwc? do they ever have anything on origins? Viennaiswaiting (talk) 21:45, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Theres nothing from the JTWC.Jason Rees (talk) 22:01, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

little question: in 2nd sentence, shouldn't it read "tracked southeastward", not "eastward", per the track?
the last sentence of the first paragraph of the mh is really long: could you split it up for ease of reading?
you should mention in the beginning of the 2nd paragraph that Vavaʻu is an island in Tonga. i never heard of Vavaʻu, but i heard of tonga
you should link UTC and the Australian tropical cyclone scale
quick question: the article has mileage first with kilometers in parenthesis, but has wind speeds of km/h first with mph in parenthesis. is that right? seems inconsistent, but idk
- what about this? Viennaiswaiting (talk) 15:48, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - I thought I fixed it. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 16:25, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - Got one stray one. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 16:26, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
in the impact section, Fuaʻamotu should definitely be linked, and you should mention what country it's in (same w/ the beginning of the first paragraph of the impact, you should mention those stations are in tonga)
any deaths or damage total?

None that ive seen.Jason Rees (talk) 18:59, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

was the name retired or used again?

Niethers happened yetJason Rees (talk) 18:59, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done with most of the rest. Thanks for the review! –Juliancolton | ^Talk 20:00, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
