[edit] Attribution
Material on this page was initially removed from List of wars and disasters by death toll, which was excessively long at 80+kb. Edit history can still be found in the history of that page. BD2412 T 23:07, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merge
I merged this page with List of Deadliest Natural Disasters, as that page was very closely related. Jerr 02:21, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 1201 Earthquake
I can't find any info on this quake. Searching online all I can find are tons of sites that merely state that it happened and killed 1.1M. I get the distinct impression they're just copying each other without performing any fact checking. This USGS site claims the highest fatality earthquake was the one in the 1500s in China --Dgies 20:21, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
Agreed. I removed that reference; if somebody has a good source we can put it back. 128.2.8.137 03:51, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Plagues
I'm asking because I don't know - how are plagues handled, as far as lists of this type go? They seem IMHO to be natural disasters. I mean, if partially- or wholly-human caused famines are on this list, ought not plagues be included as well? Thoughts, comments? Vedek Wren 19:20, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Smog
I'm not certain smog qualifies as a natural disaster 146.50.209.116 03:48, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
