Typhoon Thad (1981) edit

  • ... that Typhoon Thad was the worst storm to strike Japan in two years?

Moved to the mainspace and created by Yellow Evan (talk). Self nominated at 13:30, 5 March 2014 (UTC).

  • Was moved from userspace 5 March so new, long enough 5721 characters, neutral, no disambig links, hook is sourced by a offline news source from 1981 so have to assume good faith. Good to go. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blethering Scot (talkcontribs) 19:16, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
  • Review is unsigned, and doesn't mention whether a close paraphrasing check was done. Can both of these please be addressed? Many thanks. Note to anonymous reviewer: please place the review symbol at the beginning of your review comments so it's more easily seen. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:06, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

  • Im not watching this page, and as Mandarax states pings don't work here so i was totally unaware. Apologies. The duplication detector only seems to compare two set pages rather than searching the article to see if any other sites can be found that closely matches, to an untrained eye i certainly don't see anything obvious.Blethering Scot 21:42, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
