Hello, Chocolate Train. I will be reviewing this article today. I believe this is the first time I've ever reviewed one of your nominations--12george1 (talk) 20:51, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

• The first thing that stands out to me is that you have a citation for everything in the lead. Generally it is only necessary to have references in the lead section if that info is not mentioned later in the article. It appears that only the damage total isn't mentioned later in the article
  • Fixed. ChocolateTrain (talk) 02:49, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

• "The system initially moved quickly to the west-northwest, " - On the track map, it looks like west-southwest, unless this happened before the track begins
  • Yeah, the JTWC only started tracking the system on 20 March, but the BOM started tracking it on 19 March when it was much further to the east. ChocolateTrain (talk) 15:20, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

• In the lead section, you should find a place to mention that Nora turned southeastward over the Gulf of Carpentaria.
  • Done. ChocolateTrain (talk) 02:49, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

• "and a with a minimum barometric pressure of 958 hPa (28.29 inHg)." - Remove the first "a"
  • Well spotted. ChocolateTrain (talk) 15:20, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

• "No injuries or fatalities were reported in connection with the cyclone.[12]" - It isn't necessary to mention or cite something that didn't happen
  • Fixed. ChocolateTrain (talk) 15:20, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

• "development of any low-pressure systems in the region" - Wikilink low-pressure area
  • Done. ChocolateTrain (talk) 15:20, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

• "the southeasterly wind flow contributed to enhanced atmospheric circulation" - Wikilink atmospheric circulation
  • The usage of atmospheric circulation in the article refers to low-pressure related rotation rather than global-scale latitudinal circulation cells (Hadley, Ferrel, etc.). ChocolateTrain (talk) 15:20, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

• "It was also the strongest tropical cyclone to exist in the Gulf of Carpentaria since" - The Gulf of Carpentaria was already wikilinked in the third paragraph
  • Fixed. ChocolateTrain (talk) 15:20, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

• "The large number of downed trees and power lines blocked most roads, rendering movement around the town dangerous and difficult for pedestrians and vehicles." - [citation needed]
  • Done. ChocolateTrain (talk) 02:49, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

• Is there a peak rainfall total available? I know you have the maximum 24-hour total, but what about over the course of the duration of the precipitation?

• "was committed to upgrade the QFES communications centre in Cairns" - Might be better to say "upgrading" rather than "upgrade"
  • Done. ChocolateTrain (talk) 15:20, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

• I see that you wikilinked some people multiple times in the references. If you're going to wikilink any person or news agency, only do it once
  • Fixed. ChocolateTrain (talk) 15:20, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

Overall, mostly some rather minor things that should be fixed or addressed--12george1 (talk) 20:51, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

@12george1: I'm just pinging you since I saw this hasn't had any feedback in ten days. Noah^Talk 20:12, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

@Hurricane Noah: As of now, I wouldn't pass this, but I think maybe I will give @ChocolateTrain: one more week. Some of this stuff I might let go, like if CT is unable to find a peak rainfall total. But having an unsourced statement is definitely non-negotiable. --12george1 (talk) 02:45, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

@12george1: I'm so sorry! I completely forgot about this. I have addressed the remaining concerns, with the exception of the total cumulative rainfall figure. I have done some searching, and I don't think there is an easy way to find this. I believe I would have to go through the data of every individual weather station in the Cairns region and manually add up the relevant rainfall totals. I will see what I can do, but for now, hopefully the article is good enough to pass as it stands. Thank you for your assistance and patience. ChocolateTrain (talk) 02:49, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

Well now it looks like only the peak rainfall total thing is left. I'm going to assume that you made an effort to look. So I will now pass this article. Good job,--12george1 (talk) 20:22, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
