[edit] Dresden
Fair enough. I don't intend to get into an edit war on the subject. I see it as prominent in the city's cycle of destruction and reconstruction, as do The Telegraph, CNN, the New York Times and USA Today but you don't. Dresden is still very much an unsettled city. I'm going to put these links on the article's talk page in case anyone wants them in the future if a decision is made that the mention of the bombings is important.

- Right... Well the fact of the matter is that the article is about the flooding, not the bombing. I know the article doesn't focus on the bombing but if it isn't directly related to the article subject matter (ie. Short period of time between flooding and bombing, flooding caused by damage from bombing, etc.) then I think it should go. The article is also about the European flooding in general, if there was an article on Dresden flooding alone then it could certainly be mentioned. I don't like removing something if someone disagrees with me without consensus, do you wish to get a third party involved? Saturday Contribs 05:30, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

- Thanks for the offer, but I don't care enough to argue it. I can see your reasoning, even if I don't exactly agree. There's very little interest in the article. I was in Prague immediately following the floods and when I stumbled across it, it was in a sad state. I couldn't help but add to it-- I've worried from the getgo that it was too heavy on Dresden and Prague because a) they were most affected and b) I'm most familiar with Prague having been in the city a few months later and seeing the mess first hand. I've looked at the other two flood articles and tried to see how '02 could be brought into line but all I want to do there is fix 05 and 06 so I'm being good and leaving them be. Some pruning in 2002 is probably a good thing. Sleep well, bedtime here too Travellingcari (talk) 05:37, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
