Usually the areas affected by the storm mentioned in the infobox are wikilinked.

"south-south-west," - south-south-west? You mean "south-southwest"?
- I think south-south-west is the way the Aussies do it which is what we have to respect but i will check this with an aussie editor.Jason Rees (talk) 04:14, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"the Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, Australia, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, New Zealand." - Insert "and" before New Zealand

"while it affected parts off the Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, Australia, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, New Zealand." - Again, insert "and" before New Zealand.

"After this usage of the name Rewa, it was retired and replaced with the name Rene." - Unsourced

"Renell island during 29 December" - Shouldn't it be "Renell Island"
- Sorted.Jason Rees (talk) 17:44, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"Grand Terre island during 5 January." - Same issue
- Sorted.Jason Rees (talk) 17:44, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"to Efate island between 8-9 January" - See the previous two issues
- Sorted.Jason Rees (talk) 17:44, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"active with 8 of these deaths" and "9 other people went missing" - Numbers less than 10 are usually spelled-out, unless they are referring to a measurement (i.e. windspeeds, inches of rain, feet, ect.)

"Mackay it was located to far away from" - "to" --> "too"

"to avoid being cut of by flood waters." - "of" --> "off"

"However it did not make its predicted landfall near Mackay, instead recurving to the south-south east and coming within 100 km (60 mi) of the coast." - I recommend re-wording that to "However it did not make its predicted landfall near Mackay, and instead recurved to the south-southeast and came within 100 km (60 mi) of the coast."
- Sorted.Jason Rees (talk) 04:14, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"6 hours which lead to some flash flooding in parts of the city and 4 deaths.[23] 3 of the deaths" - These numbers should be spelled out
- Sorted.Jason Rees (talk) 04:14, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Reference #6 is a dead link
- Should be sorted.Jason Rees (talk) 04:14, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
On reference #10, the publisher should be the Reading Eagle, while the author should be the Australian Associated Press.

Maybe more later,--12george1 (talk) 01:46, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Date ranges (e.g. 8-9 January) should be demarcated using en dashes, not hyphens (8–9 January). HurricaneFan 25 01:56, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ugh this is one of the things i always struggle with as i do not see what the difference is. I have used the dashes tool to correct them though.Jason Rees (talk) 03:45, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have nothing else I would like to add to this GAN. I also see that you have addressed/fixed all of the issues I have with upgrading this article to GA. Therefore, I am passing this article.--12george1 (talk) 01:48, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
