Talk:1949 Ambato earthquake

New References
Hi all, it would be great if the two new references, specified only as "Louis" and "h.", could be made a bit more specific. --Pgallert (talk) 21:42, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks Pgallert - I had forgotten! It took a lot of digging to find them fyi. It wasn't that I didn't try finding any for the GAN. ;)  ceran  thor 22:09, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I have fiddled a bit with the Louis reference, see article: This way you can produce a link from the notes to the bibliography. --Pgallert (talk) 08:42, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Intro
The opening line reads: largest earthquake in the Western Hemisphere in over a decade

A quick USGS catalog search finds 30 earthquakes that were larger than 6.8 in South America alone during the period 1939-1949 so this sentence needs some tweaking. RapidR (talk) 17:08, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Damage and Casualties: photo of Pelileo
The caption under the photo seems to show an incorrect spelling of the hamlet name. I cannot see how to correct this.

The village name is Pelileo, but the label under the photo actually shows Pelìeo

Questions for Editors
Gomez.alexa (talk) 21:46, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
 * 1) It seems unclear to use the wording: largest earthquake in the Western Hemisphere in over a decade.  What is meant by largest?  Does it mean the most powerful?
 * 2) Doesn't the statement: The hypocenter of the earthquake occurred 40 km (25 mi) beneath the surface, under a mountain 72 km (45 mi) from Ambato require some citation?
