Talk:Blood rain

Inadequacy of the lead
If the lead does not summarize the article adequately (which in this case should be 2-3 paragraphs), then the GAN could be quick failed. This problem needs to be rectified quickly, and once done, would likely earn the article at least C class. For examples, check out the rain and thunderstorm articles, which were deemed GA quality.

 * Fair point, but a short lead is easily fixed and isn't one of the GA quick fail criteria. I'll get onto it later. Still though it's a short article, and the lead doesn't need to be much longer. Nev1 (talk) 11:45, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The reference section is quite long in this article. You're right, it likely doesn't need to be expanded much more.  An image in the lead would be helpful as well.  Thegreatdr (talk) 11:56, 3 April 2010 (UTC)


 * One option would be to move the current image to the lead, and add another from the red rain in Kerala article – probably of the cells to the explanation section, although this maybe misleading. The only images I've come across are in the Kerala article. Nev1 (talk) 12:36, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem with repurposing images from other articles. Thegreatdr (talk) 02:43, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

What does "ca" mean?
In the second sentence: "Cases have been recorded since Homer's Iliad, composed ca eighth century BC, and are widespread." Does anybody know what this ca is for, or is it vandalism?

Sarton, 1947: something is wrong here!
Note 15 is said to be page 98, but the article is only between pp 85 and 95. Calle Widmann (talk) 06:27, 20 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi Calle Widmann, somehow when I added the Sarton reference I got some of the details mixed up with Stothers' 1979 article, so they had each other's page ranges and links to Jstor. I've made the correction and have swapped around the details. Thanks for mentioning the error. Nev1 (talk) 12:02, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Intercession
The symbol meaning of man and the release of the twelve races from perdition. This event marks the Intercession and rains in a whole new family. The ten races are base ten and the second two are Cyclops and Pygmy and can be seen on the keyboard _ (underscore and mushroom eyes:Pygmy) and += (Cylops eye and mouth for equals sign).
