2003 earthquake
The paper by Xu & Song (2003) uses data from earthquakes in the South Sandwich Islands area over a 30 year period (1967-1997). The current text states "In 2003 an earthquake occurring in the South Sandwich Islands allowed for accurate doublet data to confirm the discrepancy in travel time ,confirming the initial 1996 findings and largely settling the debate" supported by a citation to Xu & Song (2003). Is there another uncited paper that analyses a 2003 earthquake? If not, this section needs a rewrite. Mikenorton (talk) 17:51, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
 * It seems likely that the missing citation is to Zhang et al 2005, which uses a 2003 Mb 5.6 South Sandwich Islands earthquake as part of a pair with a 5.5 Mb earthquake in 1993 - is that correct? Mikenorton (talk) 18:23, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi Mikenorton! Yes, I was referring to the 2005 Zhang and Song paper that uses the 2003 earthquake as data. I added the correct reference and removed the old one. Good catch. Jsobe (talk) 09:48, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
 * That makes sense now. Mikenorton (talk) 11:17, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

Possible Update?
Should the article be updated in lieu of this? 2601:183:4A80:E570:4CE1:D552:D524:9790 (talk) 18:26, 23 January 2023 (UTC)


 * I was wondering the same thing, based on this article. Going by that, the very first sentence of the lead (for a net rotation rate that is faster than Earth as a whole) is already outdated. thoughts on this? Lennart97 (talk) 20:50, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
