[edit] Disaster

Partial self-nomination. Rewrote this article in support of my other main area of contribution, the business continuity planning article. Have had a couple of other Wiki's take a look at it as a part of the peer review process and the article is now ready for review in this forum. Revmachine21 06:37, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)

• Object,

1) underwikified
2) some existing links point to wrong article; links to biological when it should link to biological disaster or biological terrorismExisting terrorism and hazardous materials links should be enough.
3) contains too many lists and small sections, should be turned into prose. Not comprehensive.
4) Doesn't cotain pictures, shouldn't be hard to find a few. I've added two pics
5) Doesn't contain references (if you used the external links as reference, just say so.
6) contains at least one duplicate link within the text (emergency supply kits). removed them as far as I can determine.
I'll do some work on it if I can find the time. Mgm|^(talk) 09:56, Jan 20, 2005 (UTC)

Also needs a history section listing major disasters in history starting with the extinction of the dinosaurs and Pompeii and ending with 9/11 and the recent Asian tsunami. And contains too much technical jargon when preparation and survival is discussed. Mgm|^(talk) 10:37, Jan 20, 2005 (UTC)

• Object. No references and not nearly enough facts cited to sources. Again, please make sure article meets all of the basic criteria before listing. That way we can focus on articles that do meet the criteria and can pass. - Taxman 17:11, Jan 20, 2005 (UTC)
