Tsunami[edit]

A good, long-scale history; a few choice images, including an excellent hand-drawn cartoon schematic of the process; a well-balanced and -linked TOC and descriptive text. It might be improved by a MediaWiki timeline, more thorough discussion of methods for detection, and further anecdotes about specific tsunamis and their effects; but I think it is already feature-quality. +sj + 07:23, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

  • Object. 1) References consist of only 1 article? Expand - likely some external links were used as references and are not notes as such. 2) Merge sections: 'Past tsunamis', 'Other historical tsunamis' and 'North American and Caribbean tsunamis' 3) Not an object, just a comment: the article is constantly vandalised. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 13:53, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Object. I share Piotrus's concerns 1) and 2). Ad 1): Many of the external links seem to concern the 2004 tsunami specifically. Ad 2): I would suggest to merged virtually all content into prose; no subsections would be needed. This should only contain the most relevant events, all others should be moved to a list outside of the article. A table with the 10 most devastating tsunamis might be interesting to add to that section. Jeronimo 21:58, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
