A fact from Çöpler mine disaster appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 30 March 2024 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that in the Çöpler mine disaster in Turkey, nine gold miners were trapped under a collapse of
heap leach material?
At the moment the cites can only be edited by the source editor. To make it easier for future new editors who may only know visual editor I suggest we delete them and let a bot recreate them. As far as I remember there is a bot which runs overnight which will do it.

@
CeeGee: New enough and long enough. QPQ present. The article needs updating with any events since 19 February. The hook fact is okay, but this hook is a trainwreck of English, and I want to do more copyediting of the page once it is brought up to date with events. See below proposal:

Some comments for @
CeeGee and
Chidgk1:: is it necessary to include laundry lists of every piece of equipment different orgs brought? There is now a "clarification needed" tag, and the Turkish Bars quote is too long and needs to be trimmed down or otherwise said in our own words. These are still outstanding issues for promotion.

Since the heap leach material contains the material gold that is being extracted, it could be considered "tailings". The material collapsed, which may be considered a "dam failure". The category looks correct to me.

I see, I got confused by the
Gold dredge process where tailings refers more to the entire mined material and the gold is sluiced out of the crushed rock. I don't know if a more specific category for the event described here exists other than
Category:Gold mining disasters which is already included.
