[edit] Cmoras messed up the lead on 10 June 2011, need to fix

I'm proposing to revert back the lead paragraph to how it looked like on 10 June 2011 before Cmoras made a huge mess out of it. The lead now has a serious "too much information" problem which it did not have before, along with several bizarre typos (looks like Engrish). Any objections? --Coolcaesar (talk) 11:17, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Done. The lead paragraph has been corrected back to a more conservative style consistent with the Manual of Style and core policy Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. --Coolcaesar (talk) 05:58, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

[edit] potential resource Swiss Re Estimates 2011 Catastrophe Loss To Insurers At $108 Billion

Swiss Re Co. Ltd. (RUKN.VX, SCR.DE, SSREY.PK) Friday posted its estimate of 2011 catastrophe losses, with loss to insurers amounting to $108 billion, while total losses, including uninsured losses, reaching $350 billion. The global insurance industry saw losses of $48 billion in 2010, the company added. Elaborating that the Great East Japan Earthquake accounted for most of the year's losses despite Japan not being "more fully insured", Swiss Re said "moderate" hurricane losses in 2011 ensured that 2005, when losses touched $123 billion on the impact of hurricanes Katrina, Wilma and Rita, remained the most expensive year ever. Kurt Karl, Swiss Re's Chief economist, commented "2011 is going down as another year of very tragic and costly earthquakes. Unfortunately earthquake insurance coverage is still quite low, even in some industrialised countries with high seismic risk, like Japan. So on top of people losing their loved ones, societies are faced with enormous financial loss.
