Don't have time to look real closely now, but I think the run-on I was referring to was "Each of these megathrust earthquakes...", which I suppose is maybe not a run-on, but I don't think the semicolon is appropriate there. On the list of contributions, I'd not want a wholly separate list giving all the amounts given by any government. My point is that what's there is basically a list (of the top seven, I guess), put in sentence form, which makes it more difficult to read. I think a little box off to the side there that just lists the top seven donor nations would be fine and far easier to read. Look at how repetitive it is -- it's obvious from the beginning we're talking about governments offering money, measured here in US dollars -- the only informative thing is which governments and how much, which a list can do nicely (there is the bit about Australia earmarking most of it for Indonesia, but that seems overly specific here, especially since there's a subarticle just on the humanitarian response). Still, that objection's not a huge deal though. Tuf-Kat 03:55, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
