• "The 1986–87 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season was quiet and below average, due to an ongoing El Niño and a weak monsoon that which suppressed convection and storms" to qualms. First, "quiet" and "below average" are the same, so why not just use one? Ditto with "convection and storms", so convection leads to storms. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 03:16, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

• Removed "quiet", but left the others. They're not as synonymous. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:06, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

• "Later, Daodo in March was the strongest storm of the season and only to attain tropical cyclone status, reaching of 135 km/h (85 mph)." two things here again: Why use "Later," when you already mention a time period? and "only to" makes no sense in this sentence. Add a "the" before "only to". YE ^{Pacific Hurricane}

• Later is there for flow. I added "the", but I don't think it was necessary. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:06, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

• "the Météo-France office (MFR) on Réunion " You already mentioned what the MFR is and where it is in the lead, so what do it again? You like Reunion so much? :P YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 03:16, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

• First time outside the lede :P See below. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:06, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

• " The Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), which is a joint United States Navy – United States Air Force task force," see above. Same thing about abbreviating MFR applies to JTWC as well. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 03:16, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
• " Moving quickly to the southwest, the disturbance passed west of Rodrigues on February 6, producing wind gusts of 117&nbps;km/h (72 mph) likely due to a localized vortex. " Fix non-breaking space, and link/explain what a vortex is. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 03:16, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

• Done. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:06, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

• "On March 4, a weak ridge steered the storm to the east, and the storm weakened slightly during this time." don't say "the storm" twice in a sentence or you will go batty. YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 03:16, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

• Gah, fine. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:06, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

• On the SE chart, why is the so called "Refs" section blank? And what does it mean? Are we talking about football referees who deflate footballs here? YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 03:16, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

• No idea, ask @Jason Rees:. He designed that template. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:06, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

• The only thing i will say is that the refs section needs to be filled out with references, especially since Elizabeta caused no damage on Madagascar despite its section saying it caused minor damage.Jason Rees (talk) 15:00, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

• Is this fine @Yellow Evan:. Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 15:37, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
• Why not make the ref section optional? All of the other data is based on the info previously in the article. Besides, Elizabeta's section says "effects were minimal there", which is based on the ref saying that the effects were "negligible", so it's not exactly wrong. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:12, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

• I think many other SWIO season do not have this either, but you know, I noticed something. Why no storm names section? YE ^{Pacific Hurricane} 03:16, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

• Naming lists aren't available for that far back, so there's no point adding in the list of names that are already in the article. For some seasons where I found it, I included the rest of the naming list, but there is no need for a section just to list the names, IMO. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:06, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
