2 meter high tide vs half meter wave[edit]

With all the roundabout wording here, are we trying to skate around talking about 'unusually high tides' in general, sea level rise correlations. B137 (talk) 16:09, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request edit protection ASAP[edit]

Can somebody who knows how to do so please change the edit protection on this ITN front page article to autoconfirmed users only, or issue a proper request for this, please, as IPs are repeatedly adding a picture of male genitals to the article (andmeanwhile I've twice failed to make a legitimate edit as a result).

Admins - requesting semi-protection please -[edit]

Coordinates[edit]

Has the coordinates for this event been ascertained from Krakatoa? Or has it needed to be confirmed again before the coordinates can be entered into the article? Fikri RA (talk) 04:26, 24 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Far afield?[edit]

“

A catastrophic tsunami in 2004 happened around the same time of year, occuring on December 26 (Boxing Day), but causing more widespread damage throughout the rim of the Indian Ocean, with countries as far afield as Thailand and Sri Lanka being affected.[6]

”

Thailand isn't that far afield, and "as far afield as" certainly is wrong in this case, since it doesn't mention what's actually far afield, with the deaths in Africa. Writing "as far afield as", one would expect the most distant major cases, not the nearby Thailand, or the midway Sri Lanka. This should be rewritten with "major casualties in Thailand and Sri Lanka, and damage as far afield as the east coast of Africa. (with a supporting ref for that) -- 67.70.34.69 (talk) 05:32, 24 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

...why is that paragraph even there? The Indian Ocean Tsunami struck literally over a thousand miles away and had a completely different cause. Juxlos (talk) 07:24, 24 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Landslide[edit]

Should this article also include the landslide that caused the tsunami or should it have its own article? Volcanoguy 09:27, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
