Sources to add

I don't have time to add these right now so I'm listing additional sources with useful information to add. Cyclonebiskit (talk) 20:30, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Duration: December 1922 – present "

Some mistake surely?! Budhen (talk) 21:31, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is this a proper topic?

Imagine if there was a 2010-2011 American winter article which lists the Atlanta snowstorm and Los Angeles brush fires?

The floods in Africa is flooding of several rivers. Maybe the American press' geographical knowledge is not complete so they lump everything together.

WP just reports the news so if the news is poorly reported, we copy.

Any suggestions to improve this problem?Madrid 2020 (talk) 17:18, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
