1977 southeastern Kentucky flood

i see it mentioned in some town entries but i find no entry of its own and no mention in this list. it should definitely be mentioned here, whether it has its own page or not. Mari Adkins 02:27, 26 March 2023 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by MariAdkins (talk • contribs)

Excessive categorization

Would it be acceptable if I deleted most of the "Meteorology in year" categories? After the restructuring of some baseball-related articles, this article will become number 3 in Wikipedia's list of articles with categories. The categories here hinder navigation. Dr. Submillimeter 15:43, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

If you're going to delete some, delete them all. It doesn't make sense to pick and choose years. It would be quite POV. Thegreatdr 16:05, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

I see the problem with my writing style. Yes, I would delete all the "meteorology by year" categories, not just most of them. (However, it would be humorous to leave Category:1927 meteorology for no particular reason.) Dr. Submillimeter 19:01, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Section names and article titles

Hello all, I have been doing cleanup of improper use of capital letters in sections as well as titles. I thought I would drop a few lines here and any related titles.

• • Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Titles#Capitalization states, "However, for names of Wikipedia articles and of section headings in articles and pages, generally only the first word and all proper names are capitalized in titles.". Wikipedia:Article titles#Article title format states, "Use lowercase, except for proper names". This supposedly narrows the criteria to determining if a word is part of such a "proper noun" or named as such as provided by reliable sources as the common name. The word "flood", in these instances, are clearly not part of a proper noun.

I realize that "generally" does mean there are exceptions, such as common use (not just in captions) and cases like the "Great Flood", and I am always a proponent of using the common name when possible (exceptions for avoiding ambiguity) otherwise policy and title consistency should be followed.

Texas flood of 1913

As written, the article implies that the "new channel" of the Brazos, which empties into the Gulf at Freeport, was created by the 1913 flood. In fact, although the Brazos may have and almost certainly did change course in at least one place due to this flood, the "new channel" of the Brazos is a man-made flood control project that was executed in the 1950s. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.77.219.170 (talk) 15:58, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
