This article would be off to a great start if it included a list of Wikipedia articles which fit the inclusion criteria. Blue Rasberry (talk) 23:57, 23 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

I've just created Category:Mass poisoning and I guess some of the pages I've been adding in there might be appropriate to add to this list.--Pontificalibus (talk) 14:51, 14 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Title

edit

I think the title List of man-made mass chronic poisoning incidents is a bit unwieldy. Firstly I'd remove "chronic" as that describes the after-effects rather than the nature of the poisoning incident - and do we really want to exclude mass poisoning events that had only acute effects (e.g. caused rapid fatalities)? Secondly I'm not so sure about "man-made" either, but I can't think of a better wording. Sure we want to exclude instances of food poisoning caused by natural organisms, but "man-made" implies human culpability, and I'm not so sure we want to do that? --Pontificalibus (talk) 14:51, 14 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
