Stub

The worst coal mining disaster in history is a stub?! I would say this is an extremely high priority article! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Elemarth (talk • contribs) 00:42, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

I have expanded it significantly but it is still technically a stub. It requires someone with more Chinese than my small vocabulary to translate some of the sources. Rincewind42 (talk) 12:39, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

I was looking for a citation that someone wrote next to the initial number reported (someone just included that a citation was needed) and I stumbled upon a book that literally is an exact copy of this entire article - word for word.

At first I thought the Wikipedia article was plagiarized and I was gonna source the credit... but then I looked in the history and saw all the edits you made were in 2010, and the book was published in 2015. Hah!

Anyways - I thought I should let you know - I’m new here and trying to be as helpful as possible. I just thought if it were me, I would want to know.

Here is the citation for the book, take a look:

Pitta, Terra. Catastrophe: A guide to World’s Worst Industrial Disasters. Vij Books India Private Limited. p. 172. ISBN 9789385505171. Michehobson (talk) 23:29, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

POV

I have no real knowledge of this event, so I could be completely off base about this, but the language used indicates to me that there might be a POV slant against the Japanese. Should this be re-written? 186.2.136.99 (talk) 03:53, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Unbelievable and anonymous. I suggest you study such that you can start of differently form "I have no real knowledge of this event." by reading the other articles on wikipedia about the War crimes in Manchukuo. This article is about one of many such war crimes. Rincewind42 (talk) 14:47, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

I note that through Ebay an official English language report of the disaster issued in 1946 is available. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171697366997? Either via that copy or by consulting another one (National Archives at Kew) or the Mining Institute's own retained copy, it would seem a useful contemporary source for what is certainly an extraordinary, notable, nigh notorious incident.
