Talk:2010 Central European floods

Should say Eastern
The article should be titled "May 2010 Eastern European floods" since they are taking place in Poland. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.48.226.38 (talk) 22:28, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The title is correct since these floods are taking place in Poland. No part of Poland is located in Eastern Europe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.31.66.121 (talk) 19:48, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The boundaries of Central Europe and Eastern Europe are disputed. John Z White (talk) 03:28, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Victims
There are 17 victims. 12 in Poland, two in Serbia, two in Hungary, etc. Look at the Polish Wikipedia article along with the footnotes. Adik7swiony (talk) 22:18, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Are these victims deaths or do they include injuries. THe most recent English language news says only 9 dead so far. --Mkativerata (talk) 22:19, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
 * They are deaths. It is possible that will be even more. A moment ago I gave information about the next two victims in Sandomierz, but not yet confirmed. Adik7swiony (talk) 22:22, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Only an hour ago the AP was saying 9 confirmed dead: . I think the article should say "at least 9" until any more are confirmed in reliable sources. Of course, Polish language sources are fine as long as they are reliable. --Mkativerata (talk) 22:24, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, there are 18 victims. Margomaniak (talk) 08:45, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

FYI, the main wikipedia page says that 9 people are dead, but upon clicking the link it says 18 here. I don't know enough about the situation to weigh in on correctness, but I do know that there is a bit of a difference in information so just a heads up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.206.144.58 (talk) 16:03, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Past tense / over?
This does not appear to be over so why is the article written in the past tense? -- can  dle • wicke  03:02, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

June the 3rd: Storm in Warsaw and some houses are in water. South Poland is still in water (e.g. Sandomierz, Dębica). It is possible that second wave on Vistula will break wet banks in Warsaw. Title should by changed. Profsowa (talk) 11:04, 5 June 2010 (UTC) (I know, no english practice last time).

Lead and dates
Could someone add dates to the article. It's essential to know when exactly it all began or the time-line of events leading up to the flood. --Kslotte (talk) 11:08, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Naming
The article is currently named "May–June 2010 Central European floods". We don't need (according to WP:PRECISION) the "May-June" in name since this currently the only flood in 2010. So, the naming should be only "2010 Central European floods" according to guidelines. --Kslotte (talk) 16:30, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * ✅ This has now been done. --Kslotte (talk) 16:58, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Jökulhlaup weather
These floods may be closely related to a Jökulhlaup weather, now occuring over Europe and partly also over US (Kansas floods)... Jökulhlaup (or glacier burst) is, when a flood pours from the glacier. When such an amount of water is evaporated, as in 2010_eruptions_of_Eyjafjallajökull, it will not escape into outer space, but it will drop down somewhere... The evaporated water seems to flood on other parts, including Central Europe, Kansas and possibly other... Is there some link for this? (Semi, 83.208.147.243 (talk) 00:40, 14 June 2010 (UTC))
 * Do you have a WP:RS stating this? Or is it WP:OR? --Kslotte (talk) 10:16, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

French floods
A new article needs making on the June 2010 French floods. Either that or if it can be considered 'central Europe' than it can be made into a section with a redirect on this page.Mtaylor848 (talk) 19:47, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
 * For the record, 2010 Var floods. --Kslotte (talk) 14:24, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

(Lack of) BBC news coverage
Some comment should be made about the failure of the BBC to cover this natural disaster, whereas it gives blanket wall-to-wall coverage of other events such as floods that occur in other countries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.4.63.73 (talk) 13:37, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Sources for this apaprent "failure"? The BBC News site seems to have plenty of coverage at the time, for example:
 * least nine killed in central Europe floods (18 May 2010)
 * Poland floods 'may yet get worse' (23 May 2010)
 * Polish floods could spread to Germany (24 May 2010)
 * Toll from Poland flooding rises (25 May 2010)
 * I'm not sure how you can substantial a claim of "the failure of the BBC to cover this natural disaster," in light of such coverage clearly existing. Nick Cooper (talk) 12:07, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
