I am concerned that the opening sentence emphasizes the cost of the season. While that's a relevant metric, there are a number of relevant metrics, many of which dessert mention ahead of cost. In an article about a specific season, a reader may be interested to see how the season compares to other seasons. Measures such as:
are all metrics that are comparable over time. While cost is important, and deserves mention in the lead, it shouldn't be the opening metric. It's not comparable over time, partly because it is a nominal, not real dollars, and it doesn't adjust for increased cost of material. S Philbrick (Talk) 13:34, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
The second sentence of season summaries starts
The first was considerably inactive
. after examining the edit history I think this resulted from botched editing and should say
The first half was considerably inactive
. However, while that change might be trivial, it begs the question of sourcing. What reliable source says that the first half of the year in 2019 was "considerably inactive"? S Philbrick (Talk) 13:40, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
I can't believe this! Would someone care to add a few more sources to this article? 🐔 Chic dat Chicken Database 12:04, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
This page needs attention, in these areas:
You are welcome to add more ways in this article can be improved. These are the five I can think of. Thanks, 🐔 Chic dat Chicken Database 11:34, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
It is very late now for this, but I believe Halong should totally have an article, despite not touching land. AwesomeHurricaneBoss ( Talk with me!) 11:07, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
Do you guys favor of a standalone page about Typhoon Halong? CycloneEditor ( talk) 09:04, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
