Missing information

[edit]

Tavantius, thanks for the article; it's a nice piece of work considering how the info had to be compiled from very limited English-language sources. But drawing info for Thailand mainly from a single local paper inevitably led to a much distorted picture, and some of the assumptions made in the process were quite erroneous (Phang-nga is on the far opposite side of the country from where the storm hit). I've replaced the figures with what I could find from the relevant cabinet minutes, but please be careful when putting such pieces of info together.

Also, I don't know what the usual practice is for filling figures in storm infoboxes, but it seems misleading to me to list partial data without further qualification. Given its path, the storm must surely also have affected Laos and Cambodia, but without accessible sources, the data remains incomplete. Is there some way to make clear to the reader that the numbers are partial tallies from the available sources, and not a complete figure? --Paul_012 (talk) 12:55, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. I'll try to do that. Tavantius (talk) 12:58, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
