Advisory vs Warning

[edit]

The Emergency Alert System code for this emergency is a Boil Water Warning. Should the article be renamed? Should it give a mention to the EAS? --Delta1989 (talk/contributions) 22:12, 29 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It should stay as Boil water advisory (but without the hyphen). That is the most popular usage. It is also called boiled water notice sometimes. Drinkingwaterdoc (talk) 20:54, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It's just another alternative term to add to the lead; done. If it's addressed directly by EAS or SAME, they should probably be mentioned, with sources.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  17:42, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Worldwide

[edit]

It is unclear, as in many articles, how to make this material "worldwide." Might be able to do this in two parts within the article by using subheadings "developed" countries and "developing" countries. Student7 (talk) 22:50, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Generally, no, since that assessment can be PoV-laden. Wikipedia's normal approach, when there's enough material to even warrant it, is simply by-country sections. At its present WP:STUB state, though, the thing to do is simply add material. It may be a long time before there is so much that its needs geographical split-up.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  07:12, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

First Nations (Canada): https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/stefanovich-liberal-long-term-drinking-water-promise-1.5780403
While adding that won't do jack to broaden this to more than just large Western countries, it will still broaden it to more than the US and historical notes about England. Other articles relating to water-supply topics (and the politics thereof) may already also have some pre-formatted citations to sources that mention this term or one of its variants specifically, and of course many more will be findable via Google Scholar, news searches, and so on.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  07:12, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Globalize

[edit]

Comment left by user SMcCandlish in the reason parameter of the globalize template:

Aside from early history of the idea, this article covers little but US-related info, despite BWAs being rare in the US. The frequency of BWAs being issued for the water supplies of First Nations in Canada is a big social justic matter in Canada, for one thing, and of course water quality is massive society-wide issue is much of the "third world".
