Should "disaster" be capitalized in the title? Bms4880 (talk) 22:55, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No. Per WP:MOS, only proper nouns should be capitalized after the first word. I assume that "Fraterville Mine" was the official name of the mine (do you know otherwise?), so "Mine" is part of a proper noun, but "disaster" is not part of a proper noun. Nice photo, by the way! --Orlady (talk) 23:03, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Noted. I often see "disaster" capitalized, so I wasn't sure if it's an official name or not. Bms4880 (talk) 00:09, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I recently made multiple changes to this page, but I believe that the article could still do a better job of describing different things that are mentioned within it and some additional information is required in certain sections.
I believe the article could do a better job of describing how the rescue efforts were organized, but I struggle to find more information than what it currently presents on external sources. Also, the rescue missions themselves have the potential to be described in more detail. For instance, I think a better description of this makeshift ventilation system could be provided but I personally do not have a good enough understanding of it to provide this description.
Further, I could not find any information about how the miners were able to barricade themselves in. I imagine they had to do it quickly and didn't have good resources nearby to do so and I wonder if a description of the effort they made to try to save themselves is available anywhere.
Moreover, there are no quotes or descriptions from the trials themselves. I think many readers would question what occurred during the trials that resulted in the men being acquitted and I wonder if any documentation from these trials is available publicly
I think more information could be added about what the town did to recover/the immediate effects the death of so many of the town's men had on the community. Anonymous5781 (talk) 17:31, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Flagging this for noting what future contributors could search for. Thanks for the notes! Rhizomesandranch (talk) 15:18, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
