User:Milowent/Creations

Though I seem to spend a lot of time fixing up articles that need help, I have created some as well.

As of 1 April 2024, on Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by article count, I am #950 with 805 articles created. My list below has less, I think the official list include redirects.

This user is ranked 907 (September 2017 - non-redirects) on the list of Wikipedians by articles created.

Here are some of my creations that have seemed to get the most attention over the years.

1990 Hajj stampede (September 2015). (I could say a lot about this one and don't know where to say it. Parking here for now. Of course I was spurred to create this due to the 2015 Hajj stampede in the news yesterday; I was not really aware of the ongoing cycle of large tragedies during the Mecca pilgrimages. 1,426 people died in this 1990 event, probably one of the largest stampede tragedies in world history, yet we didn't have an article on it. We did have some coverage scattered in various places, with two sentences at Incidents during the Hajj, which interestingly enough was an article first created when the 2006 Hajj stampede occurred, and was developed into a broader article. It seemed we had matured enough to create an article on the 1990 event alone, considering the huge death toll, and the ready availability of news sources from 1990 using Google news and other sources not as readily available online in 2006. Even a small death toll in a Western incident would never go so long without an article, which says something about our natural bias to be concerned about things closer to home. / Also troubling to me is how the victims of this accident pretty much died in vain, and I can't see any real evidence of steps being taken to correct what happened. Now it is possible stuff did happen that is not readily available in Western sources, but one can see a bit of bias in the perception that "oh just a bunch of asian muslims died here;" surely Indonesia and Malyasia were upset about it. In fact, it seems quite likely that more than 1,426 people died, but that's the only official number ever reached. I can't even determine where the tunnel was, if it still exists, and when it was built. / I am far from an expert on the hajj, but here is what I learned -- millions of muslims stream into Mecca, many staying in huge air conditioned tent cities. Its a logistical nightmare to handle this volume of people in an area with mountainous areas (hence the tunnels) and the nature of the events. People are there from across the muslim world, with many languages and cultures in play. The "Stoning of the Devil" ritual requires pilgrims to throw pebbles at three stone pillars meant to represent the devils which tempted Abraham. This is all nice I suppose for a religious ritual, but the volume of people involved today have turned it into a nightmare. The prior pillars got so crowded that people were inadvertently missing and throwing rocks at each other. The Saudis built a bridge around the pillars in the early 1960s to allow more people to toss their rocks at once. After the 2006 tragedy, they tore down the bridge and basically built a multi-story parking garage (though for pedestrians) which surround three long rock walls (the "pillars" now), see Jamaraat Bridge. Absolute hordes of people stream by these pillars; there are many crowd control measures but the volume of people is incredible. I am not sure how it is humanly possible for the Saudis to prevent these tragedies unless they apply quotas (which muslim countries will howl at) or further build things that increase the ridiculous level of the Disneyworld they've created to handle the crowds. Presumably they could build people mover systems to make it more like a ride. I presume Islam cannot be interpreted to allow them to build duplicate Meccas (I'm not really joking), just as you can't build duplicates of sites in Israel. But only Islam apparently has this concept of a required pilgrimage that is not scale-able with current human populations that early Muslims could never have foreseen.)
