A featured article which might be a useful example
Although this article won’t get as long as the Aberfan disaster article, being featured that one might give some ideas for people improving Turkish disaster articles in general. Chidgk1 (talk) 17:55, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Make cites editable by Visual Editor?
At the moment the cites can only be edited by the source editor. To make it easier for future new editors who may only know visual editor I suggest we delete them and let a bot recreate them. As far as I remember there is a bot which runs overnight which will do it. Chidgk1 (talk) 08:34, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Categories?
Please could someone check - Tailings dam failures - should be removed? Chidgk1 (talk) 18:46, 11 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Since the heap leach material contains the material gold that is being extracted, it could be considered "tailings". The material collapsed, which may be considered a "dam failure". The category looks correct to me. Recon  rabbit  20:31, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Tailings dam seems to be saying that tailings is the material left AFTER the valuable stuff has been extracted not BEING extracted. Any experts here know? Chidgk1 (talk) 12:00, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I see, I got confused by the Gold dredge process where tailings refers more to the entire mined material and the gold is sluiced out of the crushed rock. I don't know if a more specific category for the event described here exists other than Category:Gold mining disasters which is already included. Recon  rabbit  13:42, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
