Infobox too wide for anyone else? ---Another Believer (Talk) 18:13, 15 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I think it needn't be that wide. Matuko (talk) 15:19, 16 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Heavy snow edit

That this incident was attributable in part to "heavy snow" may be supported by some sources, but I'm not sure that's entirely accurate. From Reuters, on 11 December, three days before the incident:

Snowfall reached 5.8mm (0.23 inch) on average by early Monday, with the highest snowfall of 10.2mm [0.40 inch] recorded in Fangshan district, Beijing Meteorological Service data showed.[1]

Xinhua News Agency, the official PRC state news agency, photos of the snow in Beijing on 13 December that support a lack of substantial accumulation.

I mean, the snow can be mentioned, but Beijing gets more than six inches of snow every year, so I wouldn't attribute a subway collision to this not-very-heavy snowfall. Perhaps the article might hedge the implication a bit? — Matuko (talk) 14:58, 16 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
