Accidents and incidents are not necessarily disasters

MOS discussion of use of "accident"
I have recently opened a discussion on the WP:WOW talk page as to whether we should follow the AP Stylebook's lead and discourage the use of "accident" in referring to transportation disasters due to the implication of absolution/exoneration. Input from this project would be welcome. Daniel Case (talk) 14:49, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Transport Disaster categories
Hello, WikiProject,

If you look at Category:Empty categories awaiting deletion, you'll see hundreds of Transport Disaster categories have been emptied and will be deleted next week. I don't know if this was done in keeping with your understanding of "disaster" so I thought I'd bring it to your attention in case these categories had been emptied "out of process". Thank you.

New important article: Maritime incident
I've stubbed this. Rather a top-level topic, I'd say, but missing - uness I misssed something obvious. Please try to destub and add some bibliography... Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 03:57, 17 September 2023 (UTC)


 * I suggest conflating accident, disaster and incident, as the article currently does. Not all incidents are accidents, not all incidents or accidents are disasters. See Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Aviation/Aviation_accident_task_force Mitch Ames (talk) 05:16, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Floods in Afghanistan
...came to the Floods in Afghanistan page, because of the present, 2024 Afghanistan flood reports... Someone already hastily (and IMO sloppily) started a 2024 Afghanistan-Pakistan floods stub. So while this is an annual event, sadly, there are numerous annual pages. I would like to clarify the existing formal issues on the child pages (stubs) named in the List of Floods in Afghanistan: Before starting an RfC on Talk:Floods in Afghanistan I am posting this here and on the respective Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Afghanistan and WikiProject Weather/Floods task force pages in the hope that someone comments. Wuerzele (talk) 09:19, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Shouldnt these annual event stubs be named uniformly?  For example  plural versus singular etc
 * Shouldnt they be created separately for Afghanistan and Pakistan -or together as occurred in two cases: 2013 Pakistan–Afghanistan floods?
 * or: If there is as little editorial attention to these pages as it seems,(probably also lack of subsequent reporting about the event) shouldnt the info of these pages be better presented in a table?

List of mass graves: regional or global?
Looking for a bit of thoughtful targeted feedback rather than calling an open RfC.

Talk:List of mass graves in the Middle East

The more I think about it, the more I think I should start global and then split it if it gets too big? MWQs (talk) 08:18, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
