Computer network flooding?

Is there an article on flooding what is thisas occurs in computer networks? There is IRC floods and Denial-of-service attack but those are too specific. -- Myria 06:42, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Proposal to replace picture in the lead with a collage of 4 images

I am proposing to replace the picture in the lead with a collage of 4 images, like we have done at sustainable energy, climate change adaptation, sewage treatment and many other Wikipedia articles. The purpose would be to remove Global North bias, i.e. it's no coincidence that the picture that is currently in the lead is one of the Global North (Europe in this case). I also mentioned this about a year ago (scroll up in the talk page) although there I was referring to all the pictures in the article, whereas now I am only talking about the image(s) in the lead.

Overland flooding

I've added a paragraph about overland flooding, with documented information about the Red River Valley of the North, but I am neither a geologist nor a meteorologist, so if what I say is somehow inaccurate please correct. I would argue, however, that this is a phenomenon that is not mentioned in the article, so working from experience I tried to explain the most feared kind of flooding in this region consisting of two U.S. states and one Canadian province.

Hi User:James Postema thanks for that. Could you please add another one or two reliable sources for this new content? Also, are you able to broaden it so that it is not just specific about that particular Red River Valley? Mention examples of overland flooding from around the world? This is a high level article that should be global in nature. Thanks a lot. EMsmile (talk) 11:38, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, EMsmile. I would fully agree that the information shouldn't focus on just the Red River Valley, but that's what I know, and I know it from having lived it. I was mainly seeking to add a photograph, then realized that the type of flooding we've had around here wasn't really included in the article, so I added my comments to the page. I think I would ask if other people know of examples elsewhere in the world. I could look up sources, I suppose (I teach college students how to do research papers), but it's really not my area of expertise and I've got other irons in the Wikipedia fire, so to speak. If others can't provide examples from elsewhere in the world, so that it seems like too much of a niche topic, then I would defer to others' judgment about keeping my additions or not.
