Talk:Situ Gintung

Article length

Pretty short for an article on a nasty catastrophe. I see Wikifagia in general is still slacking off on non-Western topics. - 60.49.104.219 (talk) 19:46, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

It is pretty short, but check out the Indonesian Wiki version and you will still find that this one is nearly twice as long (in text size) and it is presumably much bigger news out there - Dumelow (talk) 20:12, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Standardize death toll

This article states in the first paragraph that at least 93 people were killed, and also has that same number in the data box. But farther down in the article it states that 77 people have been killed with 100 still missing, the Wikipedia homepage also says that 77 people were killed where it links to this article. I'm guessing that at least one of those numbers is wrong / old, so if anyone could standardize it it would be great. 220.173.10.100 (talk) 00:12, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

It should have been 93 - from a report from a local paper which came out before the English language versions. It has now been replaced and the deaths standardised. The main page is always behind the article for updates, I requested an update at 16:00 UCT and it was 11 hours before it happened, but it is correct as of now (no reflection on the admins checking it, they do an excellent job there are just too few of them) - Dumelow (talk) 10:52, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Spoke too soon, AFP have reported deaths now stand at 97. I have updated the article and will report it for a main page update - Dumelow (talk) 11:08, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Name of lake

Pls check if the lake's name is in Sudanese or Indonesian? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.90.4.235 (talk) 04:28, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

It's in Sundanese. Jim Michael (talk) 23:34, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
