A featured article which might be a useful example

Although this article won’t get as long as the Aberfan disaster article, being featured that one might give some ideas for people improving Turkish disaster articles in general. Chidgk1 (talk) 17:55, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Make cites editable by Visual Editor?

At the moment the cites can only be edited by the source editor. To make it easier for future new editors who may only know visual editor I suggest we delete them and let a bot recreate them. As far as I remember there is a bot which runs overnight which will do it. Chidgk1 (talk) 08:34, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Created by CeeGee (talk). Self-nominated at 10:27, 19 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Çöpler mine disaster; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

@CeeGee: New enough and long enough. QPQ present. The article needs updating with any events since 19 February. The hook fact is okay, but this hook is a trainwreck of English, and I want to do more copyediting of the page once it is brought up to date with events. See below proposal: Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 19:58, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ALT0a: ... that in the Çöpler mine disaster in Turkey, nine gold miners were trapped under a collapse of heap leach material?

@CeeGee: If you need help copyediting please ask on my talk page once you have finished updating Chidgk1 (talk) 06:49, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Have done some copyediting - please ask if more is needed. Chidgk1 (talk) 18:37, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some comments for @CeeGee and Chidgk1:: is it necessary to include laundry lists of every piece of equipment different orgs brought? There is now a "clarification needed" tag, and the Turkish Bars quote is too long and needs to be trimmed down or otherwise said in our own words. These are still outstanding issues for promotion. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 03:50, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Sammi Brie: Copyedited according to your request. Please chack again. Thanks. CeeGee 08:54, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Sammi Brie: Would you please check. Thanks. CeeGee 16:03, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is finally, finally ready, but only ALT0a is approved. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 21:01, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Categories?

Please could someone check - Tailings dam failures - should be removed? Chidgk1 (talk) 18:46, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Since the heap leach material contains the material gold that is being extracted, it could be considered "tailings". The material collapsed, which may be considered a "dam failure". The category looks correct to me. Recon rabbit 20:31, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tailings dam seems to be saying that tailings is the material left AFTER the valuable stuff has been extracted not BEING extracted. Any experts here know? Chidgk1 (talk) 12:00, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see, I got confused by the Gold dredge process where tailings refers more to the entire mined material and the gold is sluiced out of the crushed rock. I don't know if a more specific category for the event described here exists other than Category:Gold mining disasters which is already included. Recon rabbit 13:42, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
