Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on December 22, 2006.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ...that on November 22, 2006, at least ten people were killed in a burning leather factory in India after being trapped behind locked emergency exits?
Current status: Good article

Locked-door fire deaths

edit

I added the infamous Triangle fire to See also because it, too, involved doors being locked that shouldn't have been. Wasn't there some similar fire tragedy at a chicken plant in North Carolina in the early 1990s as well? Daniel Case 15:06, 22 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

That article has now been created: 1991 Hamlet chicken plant fire. Will add to list. Daniel Case 18:47, 29 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

As far as I can see, all you have left is copyediting. One other thing, the "note" you're using doesn't work on my browser. I'll see if I can fix that by using a different ref style there. It's looking good :) —Disavian (talk/contribs) 19:29, 12 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

There, it works now. Good enough. I suppose it could be integrated into the references section instead of having a separate notes section, it's up to you. Upon further consideration, I see no reason to keep your nom on hold any longer, then. :) —Disavian (talk/contribs) 19:34, 12 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Picture

edit

The picture, at this resolution, is not useful. It appears about 1.5" x 1" on my screen and has no higher resolution. If this is the best "fair use" will allow we may as well just eliminate it, because I can't even tell what's in the picture. --Rehcsif (talk) 04:33, 3 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Update

edit

Can someone update this article with information about the status of the building and the investigation. It doesn't seem like there has been any updating done since early 2007, two years ago. --Jackyd101 (talk) 15:02, 1 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

added an aftermath section and removed the update tag. Thanks.--GDibyendu (talk) 16:56, 13 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

GA Sweeps: On hold

edit

As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing Sweeps to determine if the article should remain a Good article. I went through the article and made various changes, please look them over. I believe the article currently meets the majority of the criteria and should remain listed as a GA. However, in reviewing the article, I have found there are several issues that needs to be addressed.

  1. The update tag needs to be addressed, it has be there for several months now.
  2. Is there a related infobox that can be included in the article, similar for other disasters?
  3. There's some excessive wikilinking in the lead and the article, try and delink some of the common terms.
  4. "Investigators confirmed that the site of the fire had been used as an illegal leather bag factory." Define what "illegal" means in this instance. Are the bags replicas or actually banned from use? Or was the factory itself illegal?
  5. This note "Although this is technically impossible to prove, it may be taken as true due to a lack of results stating otherwise based on a wide range of Google searches." should probably be removed.
  6. There are several dead links that need to be fixed. The Internet Archive may be able to help.

I will leave the article on hold for seven days, but if progress is being made and an extension is needed, one may be given. If no progress is made, the article may be delisted, which can then later be renominated at WP:GAN. I'll contact all of the main contributors and related WikiProjects so the workload can be shared. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talkcontrib) 07:04, 13 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

These things are now fixed. Hometech (talk) 20:50, 19 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

GA Sweeps: Kept

edit

Good work addressing the issues. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good Article. I went through the article and made a few more changes, please review them. Keep up with the investigations, and be sure to update the results whenever that occurs. Continue to improve the article making sure all new information is properly sourced and neutral. It would also be beneficial to update the access dates for all of the online sources. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have updated the article history to reflect this review. --Happy editing!
