Should say Eastern

edit
Latest comment: 14 years ago3 comments3 people in discussion

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)Reply

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)Reply
The boundaries of Central Europe and Eastern Europe are disputed. John Z White (talk) 03:28, 27 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

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)Reply

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)Reply
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)Reply
Only an hour ago the AP was saying 9 confirmed dead: [1]. 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)Reply
Actually, there are 18 victims. Margomaniak (talk) 08:45, 22 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

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)Reply

Past tense / over?

edit
Latest comment: 14 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

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

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).Reply

Lead and dates

edit

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)Reply

Naming

edit
Latest comment: 14 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

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)Reply

  Done This has now been done. --Kslotte (talk) 16:58, 14 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Jökulhlaup weather

edit
Latest comment: 14 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

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 [2] , Kansas and possibly other... Is there some link for this? (Semi, 83.208.147.243 (talk) 00:40, 14 June 2010 (UTC))Reply

Do you have a WP:RS stating this? Or is it WP:OR? --Kslotte (talk) 10:16, 14 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

French floods

edit
Latest comment: 14 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

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)Reply

For the record, 2010 Var floods. --Kslotte (talk) 14:24, 17 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

(Lack of) BBC news coverage

edit
Latest comment: 10 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

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)Reply

Sources for this apaprent "failure"? The BBC News site seems to have plenty of coverage at the time, for example:
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)Reply
