What I recall about the incident is that it was one of a series of major news stories in less than a week. Each one was an exercise in "can you top this?" I am not sure how these would be linked together in the article. Perhaps gathering them together on this Talk page would be good enough for a start. As I type this, I am not remembering the details, only that there was such a sequence.

I recently reinstated the WP:COMMONNAME title which this article uses. It would not be an uncontested move; requiring therefore: discussion. Calling it West Fertilizer Company disaster is not at all common, in fact uncommon, and at odds with references that state it has been " denied disaster relief ". [1] I'd insist to see a consensus on such a page move at this time. Cheers.— John Cline ( talk) 08:50, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
Addendum: I also found a source that could support the other title; [2] though I am still in favor of the current name.— John Cline ( talk) 09:22, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
@ Wuerzele: Why is it necessary to report that nothing occurred? Should the article on the sky have a sentence informing us that the sky is not green? Brycehughes ( talk) 16:15, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

The kiloton yield in the article right now appears to be wrong and isn't backed by any of the sources. I'm going to do some back-of-the-envelope and 'fix' it. If anyone feels the need to undo my 'fix' as original research, please at least remove the existing kiloton figure as it is not cited anywhere. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.106.94.95 ( talk) 01:01, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
See the last paragraph of https://www.texasstandard.org/stories/new-details-emerge-about-the-federal-fallout-of-the-2013-explosion-in-city-of-west-texas/ . The article has more on policy changes, or lack there of, as well. Richard-of-Earth ( talk) 02:33, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
