Review edit

Lead edit

  • "Emma steadily weakened and became extratropical on November 13, the JMA ceased tracking the storm on November 15" seems awkwardly written. Maybe add "and the JMA ceased...." or "As Emma steadily weakened...."
  • Added the "and".
  • Can "tropical depression" be Wikilinked?
  • Done.

JMA edit

  • This could be because I am unfamiliar with Typhoons but this reference and this reference doesn't make sense to me. How can I read it to check for information?
  • Added two more notes.

Done with fixes, @HickoryOughtShirt?4:. Thanks for the review. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 01:36, 3 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
