Why does the death toll listed at the top of the article read <= 147, but later in the article it's given as 'over 200'? This needs some attention. [[Special:Contributions/195.194.208.203|195.194.208.203]] ([[User talk:195.194.208.203|talk]]) 14:49, 12 September 2025 (UTC) |

== Three problems addressed == |
|||
I have noticed '''three problems with this article.''' It's really more of a narrative than an article (read it to see what I mean.) |
|||
This article is currently rated [[Wikipedia:Content assessment|Start-class]] writing this message. |
|||
First, like I said above, it's written like some sort of narrative rather than an encyclopedic entry that it's supposed to be: ''Wikipedia is not for telling stories''. Second problem: It's missing the structure it's supposed to have. Instead of having headers like ''The growing storm'' or ''The cyclone,'' it needs the appropriate ones: ''Meteorological history'' and ''Impact.'' Also, I have a strong reason to believe that 5 references is not enough for an article of this length, though you possibly could prove me wrong with that, I'm not 100% sure. |
|||
If these issues don't get improved soon, '''something will have to happen to this article.''' I just wanted to make it clear. [[User:CycloneTheta|CycloneTheta]] ([[User talk:CycloneTheta|talk]]) 22:41, 20 April 2026 (UTC) |
