[edit]This article is/was the subject of an Outreach Programs & Events Dashboard-supported course assignment in Autumn 2024. Further details are available on the course page. Assigned student editor(s): Tin Mar Oo, YunZhan52, Victoriacollins99, GabWie85, Delafrida, Xinyue Zhao. This Global Health Challenges Pg Online (University of Edinburgh) assignment challenges students to improve stub articles about natural and manmade disasters as part of a group research project. |
@AccidentRecorder: Can you explain how this explosion article is wp:notable as its own article separate from Manfredonia? I know I can't. Nasa-verve (talk) 16:54, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
- I'm surprised you are unfamiliar with WP:N when you refer to the guideline (it's not policy) as rationale for your edits. I quote from line 1 of WP:GNG: "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list". As I said, you seem to confuse notability for a stub. Notability does not refer to the present state of an article, but its potential. AccidentRecorder (talk) 08:18, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
University of Edinburgh assignment - Global Health Challenges Pg Online
[edit]Dear all, this is just to flag up that several students on the Global Health Challenges Pg Online course will be researching and improving (in groups) approximately seven stub articles related to WikiProject Disaster management this month. Namely:
- 2024 Western megafires
- 1983 famine in Ghana
- 2016-17 Zimbabwe floods
- 2021 Atami landslide
- 2005 Kashmir earthquake
- 1988 Nepal earthquake
- 1976 Manfredonia accidental release of arsenic
So if you see a flurry of activity on these pages in the coming days then don't worry it is not an attack it is just new student editors trying to help improve and expand these articles using their research. If possible please avoid reverts and provide constructive criticism to help the students learn where they be going wrong whether it is wording, style guidelines or formatting or the types of sources being used etc. Hopefully any issues should be minor in natuure but any problems or questions, please ask!

- Hello as a student of the Online course i tried to move my sandbox to replace the stub, but that did not work. Since we did all the editing on the sandbox i did not want to lose all the editing history by just copying and pasting the article. What is a possible solution to this problem?
