text: It's written in Brittish English because, try as I do to use US English in US articles, I a) Don't know the vast majority of American English and b) often automatically use Brittish English without thinking about or even realise it. So feel free to clean up any remaining uses you find. Blood Red Sandman (Talk)  (Contribs) 19:02, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

message: This article has really gone overboard on the citations.  Can we reduce them to make them less distracting without making the article any less readily verifiable?  --Doradus 02:59, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree. In my opinion, there can almost never be too many citations; this makes each individual statement atrributable and verifiable, not just the mere facts contained (if that makes any sense to you) Blood Red Sandman (Talk)  (Contribs) 19:04, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Too many citations

message: Not much to say here. It's impeccably referenced, gives a complete coverage of the subject, and generally qualifies as a "complete" page. There is the British English issue mentioned above, but that will be quite simple to fix, and I intend to do so immediately. Congratulations. --tjstrf talk 03:44, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

message: The word "porch" was more frequently used in the media after this incident. Balconies, in my mind (and on wikipedia) are smaller, but convey greater height. It's a toss up, but I hope you will agree that I had to at least make the redirect pages. Speciate 07:15, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: To my mind, a balcony is one of these, whereas a porch is a little romm between your hall and your front door... Britain and the US, two countries divided by a common language, eh? ;-) And anyway, we can never have too many redirec pages. Blood Red Sandman (Talk)  (Contribs) 16:25, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: All of the US sources, and specifically the Chicago sources, call it a porch.  That should be the official title.  They would never call this specific type of structure a "Balcony" in Chicago. 24.13.141.176  —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 15:38, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

message: i dont think this article is noteworthy. there are traffic accident with more deaths. whats the rationale for this article on wikipedia?

replies: text: Disasters are genrally considered noteworthy. However, if you would like to contest this, you could nominate the article at WP:AFD. There are instructions on how to do so there, or if you're too confused (it was months before I would even consider attempting something like that) I could arrange it for you. That would spark a general debate on whether or not the article should be deleted. Blood Red Sandman (Talk)  (Contribs) 16:17, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  not noteworthy 

message: As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the requirements of the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "World History-Americas" articles. I made several corrections throughout the article. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a good article. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have edited the article history to reflect this review. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 00:32, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: GA Sweeps Review: Pass

message: I'm wary of the picture at the top of the article, which has the caption "Photograph taken the day after the tragedy." The word tragedy, specifically, seems a little...I know not the word to describe it, but it seems somewhat akin to, in a person article, the idea that we should avoid using idioms or euphemisms to describe a person's death. This picture's caption seems like the opposite, using a dysphemism to drum up emotion.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.227.7.35 (talk) 14:58, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
