[edit] Earthquake prediction
On searching around for information about this disaster it would seem that it is of quite significance with regard to the prediction of earthquakes. Knowing nothing about this I'll have to pass that on to others here – hopefully a great article could be made of this. violet/riga (t) 23:29, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Name
If its really known as the "Great Tangshan earthquake" (as the first sentence says), why isn't that the name of the article?
- I don't think it really matters that much, the "great" comes from the chinese translation of da4 though i think its the only major earthquake to occur in the tangshan area so leaving the title as is is fine --Sasquatch 03:29, Jan 30, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] FAC
I wonder if this article is good enough for WP:FAC? It needs some references, but I think deals with the subject reasonably well. Perhaps WP:PR would be a better place first? -- ALoan (Talk) 13:09, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
It is well-written, but pretty weak on citations. Also, there is a little bit of awkwardness in the section about earthquake prediction... it almost looks like the remnant of some past NPOV problems. Anyway, agree that with some aggressive sourcing, this could be a great article. --Jaysweet 21:18, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
