Take a look at how well-developed the Reactions to the 2008 Mumbai attacks article is. It could really serve as a good model for the structuring of this article. Burningview ✉ 22:53, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
Between the two proposed models: Reactions to the 2008 Mumbai attacks, and Humanitarian response to the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, I think the first (on the Mumbai attacks) is best. The format is much more user-friendly, and the article here already resembles it more. On an update on photos: Someone had posted another photo of Brazilian aid workers but now IN Haiti, I have no objections to images being added of the humanitarian work taking place. I had a problem with images of naval vessels, etc. outside the context of Haiti. However, someone deleted that image, and probably with good reason...ostensibly this simple article could be overrun by such images, and how would we OBJECTIVELY choose which to delete? Since that image was removed, I will go ahead and remove the one of the U.S. ships off the coast of Haiti, and will continue to delete such images unless different editors reach a consensus about adding images. As it stands many edits are being carried out by unregistered users (just leaving IP addresses) and I worry about people using this article, as I stated earlier, as a way to convey national pride or prestige which is not only inappropriate, but unhelpful for those seeking information on the international response.

I don't have a WP to back that up, but any images of one particular country helping would seem inappropriate to me. All, which would obviously get out of hand, or none in this case. If an image was allowed it should be 1 per country/company, and as a sidebar pic which would mangle the sections w/o careful editing.

Repeating "The Queen of ... issued a personal statement" for all of these Realm nations is inappropriate. The same thing is repeated again and again for Belize, Barbados, Canada, etc. Grsz 11 02:02, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
Currently it states "Two United States Air Force C-130 Hercules aircraft also arrived January 13 with emergency supplies, medical units and special tactics teams." However these articles suggest that 4 arrived.

The article is excessively long in its length, so I recommend splitting the article into the following:
I think it will be a pretty cut-and-dry approach towards discussing the various sectors' responses without using an excessively-long article like this current version. -- Toussaint ( talk) 04:24, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
It appears as if someone has taken upon themselves to remove the citations I added for everything I added to the Canadian section. Sincerely, thank you to this person for removing the important work I have done. You have served the Wiki community well. NorthernThunder ( talk) 17:02, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

I just started this article which needs expanding: Hope for Haiti. Thanks. 03 md 14:24, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
I removed a bunch of uncited claims rather than tagging them with "citation needed" templates. Otherwise this article will liable to people adding in their own unsubstantiated claims which will go undetected. -- Pontificalibus ( talk) 18:58, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
Humanitarian_response_by_national_governments_to_the_2010_Haiti_earthquake#.C2.A0France has a big hole near the beginning (missing paragraphs referred to by preceding one), and has no mention of yesterday's French complaint about having to respect American air-traffic control nor of what could (from a brief account) be described as Bernard Kouchner's rebuke of his own government for making that complaint. Is there an edit war involved?

Charlie Simpson, the seven year old from the U.K. who raised more than £200,000, had several paragraphs in this article, within the section on 'Notable contributions by individuals and groups'. While his efforts and those of his parents and supporters were laudably, the significant amount of text devote in this article was greatly out of proportion to the that which was deserved, and amounted to personal promotion, and resulted in most of the story material that originated in U.K. newspapers being removed from this article.
This article is about the international humanitarian response to a catastrophe, not about a seven year old child's fund-raising efforts. Many thousands of individuals who made significant personal sacrifices in support of the relief efforts are barely, and mostly not mentioned at all, and several paragraphs of material on a seven year old's efforts are unwarranted in that context.

I just watched a news report on the current (2015) state of the earthquake zone in Haiti (HBO's Vice ep 29). Though it was quite POV, it's thesis was despite all of the aid money donated, there's been nearly no effect on the ground: many refugees still are still destitute and are living admist the largest modern cholera outbreak. The report talks about how much of the aid money which did "make it" to haiti was used in a northern city outside the area of earthquake damage, and how some of the only evidence of foreign rebuilding are two football (aka soccer) fields. This is a bit of a rant, but when I came to the article and found that it was mostly just a very detailed list of which celebrities donated how much money, I had to add something. Hopefully we can find more sources regarding the outcome and flush it out further. jwanders Talk 19:37, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
