6.0 earthquake, not 5.9?
The BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8554857.stm and RTT: http://www.rttnews.com/ArticleView.aspx?Id=1233542&SMap=1 and Yahoo! News: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100308/ap_on_re_eu/eu_turkey_earthquake and the CBC: http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2010/03/07/turkey-quake.html

All list the earthquake as 6.0, not 5.9. Should someone else do the honours on changing or should I take it up to me? Teafico (talk) 23:27, 8 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Updated magnitude to 6.0 per updated reports. Safiel (talk) 00:09, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

There has been alot of earthquakes recently these past 3 months anyone know why? Brideezy (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 05:40, 9 March 2010 (UTC).
 * there are always earthquakes. What's interesting though is that many begin to happen in populated areas. However, we should leave that discussion type to the forums.-- DA I (Δ) 19:13, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

We should not write what the media says, but what the official says. The latest statements from the officials list the earthquake as 5.8. March 11, 2010 press statement of the Prime Minister's Office. Randam (talk) 16:27, 11 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Even if Turkish instiutes dedicated to Earthquakes and Seismic activity label it as 6.0? http://www.koeri.boun.edu.tr/sismo/map/en/20100308043231.html Haiti's president and his surviving government constantly misquoted his country's earthquake himself, although HIS country was quite literally destroyed in which it is harder to get info, of course..

Reversion
Several sections were lost, apparently due to partial reversions of multiple spamming vandalism. I have made a big reversion to correct this. Some small details may need to be fixed manually --220.101.28.25 (talk) 12:31, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Name issues
Not all of the country was affected. I suggest renaming it to the name of the province or region.-- DA I (Δ) 19:16, 9 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Renamed to 2010 Elâzığ earthquake, following form of past earthquakes in Turkey. Rupert Clayton (talk) 03:18, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

USGS map
Isn't there a USGS map for this quake? &mdash;Terrence and Phillip 18:33, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

What is going on with all of the earthquakes all over the world? & the weird weather we are having.. im scared..--T-baby404 (talk) 03:55, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
