Hello, Hurricanehink! I will be reviewing this article. Once again, I think this is a good choice for nomination for Good Article, which is probably why the article is currently rated as B-class :P Anyway, there are a few things that I feel should be address before I can pass this article.--12george1 (talk) 22:05, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

• How active would the season have been considered? Above? Below? Average/near average?

• Below, actually. Added. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:49, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

• Any explanation for the lack of tropical cyclogenesis between mid-May and mid-September?

• Storms rarely form in the basin from June to August, due to the position of the monsoon being located over India. Storms typically only form when the monsoon is far south enough, over waters, and in which the low has enough time to develop over open waters. This is something common climatologically, just like lack of storms forming in the Atlantic before June. I'm not sure it's appropriate for this specific article, but I can add if you want. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:49, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

• I think that's a good explanation, but unless there's proof that that was the case this season (which it doesn't sound like), don't add it. I'll let this slide.--12george1 (talk) 02:53, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

• "Collectively, the three systems killed 146 people, mostly related to the third system which produced a deadly storm surge in Bangladesh." - I'm thinking you meant to say the second system, which caused 86 deaths, while the third system left 60 deaths. Also, it looks like the deaths from the second system were caused by flooding in India, rather than storm surge in Bangladesh. Or am I missing something?

• Yea, the third storm killed 60 people in Bangladesh, as well as 47 deaths in India (of the 86 overall Indian deaths from the depressions). I didn't mention the 47 deaths due to the third storm, as I didn't feel a breakdown was needed, and who is to say that flooding from the first storm didn't contribute at all to the death from the third storm? It was an unusual format, writing about the three deep depressions in one section, but I felt like the similar natures and impact warranted such a format. I can explain more if you need. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:49, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

• Nah, don't change it. I was confused a little bit at first, plus there was probably a reading comprehension fail on my part :P But hey, it's better than being poorly educated ;) --12george1 (talk) 02:53, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

• "additional day until dissipation east of the Somalia coastline."? No love (link) for Somalia? :P

• Eh, thought it was common enough :P ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:49, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

• "developing an eye in the middle of the convection" - Wikilink to eye (cyclone)

• Thanks, good catch. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:49, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

• I don't see any grammar or spelling errors

Yeah, so work on those issues and I will pass this and list it as a Good Article.--12george1 (talk) 22:05, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks! Hope that all makes sense. I believe I addressed the issues. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 22:49, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Ok. I'm going to pass this article.--12george1 (talk) 02:53, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
