Paranormal

[edit]

The burial grounds of many cultures are often dressed up by folklore. Tales of 'ghostly apparitons' and 'quaking earth' make millions at the box office to this day. I think advertising the idea of alleged 'paranormal sightings' does an insult to the many, different people who lost their lives that day - most of whom could probably care less for such baseless fantasy. When is comes to human tragedy, I think Wikipedia is beyond boogeymen. Instead of contributing hocus pocus to every plane crash site, or burning building we should be looking at ourselves, not unicorns. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Douglas84 (talkcontribs) 11:22, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Coordinate error

[edit]

{{geodata-check}}

The coordinates need the following fixes:

  • Latitude seems OK. Longitude appears to be wrong and puts the disco in the middle of a forest in Quezon Province.

Correct longitude should be approx. 121°02′09″ E

– Requesting a mass move of 31 nightclub fires to include the year. The listed articles above are not in line with the naming convention WP:NCEVENTS, which asks for a year in the majority of cases. The exception, WP:NOYEAR, is only applied when in historic perspective, the event is easily described without it; sadly, nightclub fires are a reoccurring event. Adding the year would make the titles more WP:RECOGNIZABLE (would a person not expert in nightclub fires recognize each fire better or worse with the year in the title?) and WP:CONSISTENT with other events covered under NCEVENTS.

I think NOYEAR handles these sufficiently well. Many of these are sufficiently well-known that they do have that historic perspective you cite above. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 01:43, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
How was this set of articles chosen? By membership in Category:Nightclub fires and the subcategory Category:Nightclub fires started by pyrotechnics? Only 3 articles in those categories currently have the year. There are other nightclub fire articles that weren't nominated e.g. Coatzacoalcos nightclub fire and Rhythm Club fire, which I found in Category:Fire disasters involving barricaded escape routes. Most of the nominated articles have the name of a particular nightclub (Denmark Place fire and Yaoundé nightclub fire are exceptions). It doesn't seem likely that fires in a nighclub with a particular name would be a recurring event (following a fire, it isn't likely that a building would be restored to a nightclub with the same name it had before the fire). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Plantdrew (talkcontribs) 03:08, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Template: Club fires, fires subcategory. Pilaz (talk) 15:51, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - how about including the year in parentheses AFTER the name? (I don't know if naming conventions recommend against this?) This type of info is what I think is usually tried to be included in the "Short description" field to help users disambiguate or better find what they are looking for. ---Avatar317(talk) 22:56, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
And yet your argument seems to be that, in the cases of the articles listed, one of the criteria (WP:CONSISTENT) should be prioritised over effectively all other criteria (WP:NATURALNESS, WP:RECOGNIZABILITY, WP:CONCISE)? To what end? To impart information in the titles themselves? To make the category easier to sort? Not swayed. I don't see the case for adding WP:OVERPRECISION to those titles. Mine remains a recommendation against large-scale renaming of all nightclub fire articles.... Guliolopez (talk) 23:36, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
