Todo

Well, it's not a stub...barely. But it mentions only a few storms. Jdorje 08:01, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

pronouns

This article refers to all the storms as "her" or "she". This is wrong (I believe) and inconsistent with all other articles. Storms should be referred to as "it". — jdorje (talk) 20:30, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Really? I just went by the name of the storm. Are you sure that I'm not right and everyone else is wrong. Icelandic Hurricane #12 20:40, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's highly unlikely that every other article is wrong. Jdorje is right, they are it's. Nothing more, nothing less. Hurricanehink 20:52, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, we've never discussed it but nobody has ever disagreed before. I'd say it is currently an unofficial wikiproject standard to use non-gender-specific pronouns for storms. Icelandic: if you disagree with the standard, take the conversation to the wikiproject page. — jdorje (talk) 22:08, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind, I guess it's fine. Icelandic Hurricane #12 00:34, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Headings

I changed some of the headings so that it doesn't say "Supertyphoon/Tropical Storm XXX" because other Pacific seasons don't do this if a cyclone is a tropical storm on only one side of the dateline; See here where the first storm is headinged "Hurricane" rather than "Hurricane/Tropical Storm". Even though it crossed the dateline, it was never stronger than a Tropical Storm west of it. In general, "Hurricane/Typhoon" is used when a system is at hurricane/typhoon strength; see here for example. Finally, see here for the opposite where a system was at typhoon/hurricane strength on the west side of the dateline only, so it is headinged "Typhoon".

Track maps

Track maps would be much appreciated, Jdorje. You don't seem to answer me on your talk page, so I'll just write it here. íslenska hurikein #12_(samtal)

GA nomination status

Track maps would be much more helpful; also a couple of unsourced statements. —Rob (talk) 15:36, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good Article nomination has failed

The Good article nomination for 1957 Pacific typhoon season has failed, for the following reason:

This article still has too many uncited comments. Grammar is weak at best. Could be improved some more, as it's a bit difficult to read at times. Chacor 15:59, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
