How to list the death by drowning
editFor the Weather of 2022 timeline and tables, how should the death be listed? Currently, I have it as a winter storm death, however, since it is indirect, a few questions need some discussion/answers.
- Does it count as a weather-related death?
- If it does, is it by drowning or under the generic winter storm event?
I am asking this here instead of the Talk:Weather of 2022 as I am the main editor for the timeline and the charts, so not many people would check the talk page. Elijahandskip (talk) 04:13, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
- it’s definitely weather related. I’d lean towards winter Storm, though, as drowning implies it was warmer. 69.118.232.58 (talk) 14:26, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
- Well for now, both of the indirect deaths are listed under the US winter storm death total. Elijahandskip (talk) 17:19, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
Titles of Blizzards and Snowstorms
editThe names/titles of most blizzards/snowstorms since the 1990s have gotten very generic - someone has to read the actual article to see if the blizzard covers a certain area. For example, why can not this January 2022 North American blizzard be renamed to January 2022 North American East Coast Blizzard. That way you know it does not include the Great Lakes Region or the Midwest and since it is named North American you know it did effect the Canadian East Coast (the Maritimes). Many blizzards and snowstorms could be better named in this way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eastern Cougar (talk • contribs) 06:48, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
Secondly, why is this article only rated as Class C? As near as I can tell every single sentence/piece of information, aside from the summary sentences which are meant to summarize the detailed info, is referenced, in many cases by multiple references. Every affected geographic area seems to be properly covered for the impacts of the storm without any bias (over-coverage). No key types of facts are missed (i.e. snowfall amounts or winds in relevant areas). I cannot see how it is not a Class B or A level article.Eastern Cougar (talk) 06:54, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
- so Mariopotro has stated that using this vague geographic descriptor of North American instread of North American Atlantic Coast or North American East Coast is consenus. Where is this concensus established? As the person who wrote 80% of this article (before I set up an account and username), it seems strange that I cannot make sure the title properly describes the geogrpahic area covered by all the text that I researched and wrote. The storm only affected the coast, not inland at all - people should not have to read the whole first paragraph of innumerable articles to find out which blizzards or storms cover the East Coast versus which ones effected the Great Lakes or the Midwest or the Rocky Mountains. Same if they mostly only effected US or Canada and not both.Eastern Cougar (talk) 19:15, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
