Untitled[edit]

This may sound like a joke but its not --- Is this a school built by a non-profit organization??? May be another news story if they cut corners and took profits. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.62.252.23 (talk) 05:22, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Minor Grammar Edit[edit]

Changed "A CNN a rescue worker told" to something more coherent.

2008?[edit]

How important is '2008' in the title? It's probably the only Pétionville school collapse. Can the 2008 be removed? BobAmnertiopsis ∴_ChatMe! 04:45, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was actually about to ask the same question. I'm guessing that this is an assumed standard, but is really an unnecessary disambiguation in this case. Reso lute 06:08, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is sort of a standard, given as a "Wikipedia naming convention" here. If you think another title would be more appropriate, feel free to move the article. — jwillbur 15:43, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What is the school building is rebuilt and collapses again in 2009, 2010, or whenever? It could be the case, and thus wikipedia came up with such rules. (Although sometimes it is not enough as you can see in the 2008 Delhi bombings. Lihaas (talk) 12:58, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dividing this up[edit]

If someone wants to we should add an emergency response section. If no one does I will after this article is off the main page. --Kuzwa (talk) 02:02, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
