Talk:Sainthia train collision

Renaming article

The current name has missing spaces after the commas. Here is a list of other crashes so we can see how they are named. I suggest renaming this article Sainthia rail collision or Sainthia rail crash (or accident or collision) because other articles name for places, not trains. Plus, Sainthia googles the most hits.

My suggestion is Sainthia rail collision as this is the collision of two trains. I don't like crash, it sounds unencyclopedic. Edgepedia (talk) 06:06, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Agreed. "Crash" is so common in lists of accidents, yet, it sounds childish. So, can we just go ahead and make the move? I don't see a lot of folks watching this article who will join in here. Also, the commas without spaces makes it somewhat more urgent. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 06:37, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm going to be bold and move the article to that name. We know it won't be moved back to the original name because of the comma problem. Other redirects will also probably be created. We can always rename it again without admin assist if we hold off on any redirects. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 06:55, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

I've renamed the article to replace "rail" with "train"; we usually use the latter term unless the incident arose through actions unrelated to the operation of the train[s] involved. (A recent example is the Castelldefels rail accident, which was caused primarily by the victims' presence in the train's path.) —David Levy 18:41, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Well done. Thank you kindly. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 21:15, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Woops, must be the heat here. I've done this sort of thing before, so I should know better. This was the collision of two trains, so I agree with the current title. Edgepedia (talk) 05:44, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

A bit unorthodox for an encyclopedia, but probably useful for a while. India is very big on Wikipedia, and many will likely use the article's ext link. I hope editors let it stand for a while. I also hope it will remain at the source website for a while. I emailed the site to say so. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 09:16, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

It's not appropriate. This issue has come up many times in disaster articles, and the consensus is always that Wikipedia is not the place for such links. MickMacNee (talk) 15:20, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Image needed

Can we get a public domain image from somewhere? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 16:39, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Contradiction

[T]he post mortem of the drivers at the Suri hospital did not show any evidence of drugs…

But then:

Probable causal factors found are the drugging of the drivers…

Does this mean that the post-mortem could have missed the drugs? Valetude (talk) 17:17, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
