Talk:June 2022 Afghanistan earthquake

Change title?
I think it should be changed to something along the lines of "2022 Afghan-Pakistani Earthquake", as it better reflects where it took place and be more accurate. Just an idea. PokeyMama (talk) 21:05, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
 * The epicenter was in Afghanistan, that's where the vast majority of deaths have been, and it's mostly being reported as an Afghan event. So I'd prefer to keep the current title per WP:WEIGHT. ― Tartan357  Talk 02:47, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

Ok makes sense but I think if more people say like Pakistan Afghanistan earthquake we should change it. PokeyMama (talk) 21:18, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

I messed it all up
I messed up the whole page and I'm very sorry I just tried to add my photo to it and Ive never edited Wikipedia and I'm sorry. Don't worry I'll just stick to reading it from now on. PokeyMama (talk) 21:22, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
 * It's been fixed already. This is not something that requires an admin (the template is FYI). You don't need to worry about it. You can use the H:PREVIEW button to check edits before publishing them. You can also use the HELP:UNDO button to revert any accidental edits. ―  Tartan357  Talk 21:33, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
 * We would love to have your image if you created it yourself. You'll have to upload it at c:Special:UploadWizard first. ― Tartan357  Talk 21:46, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

The picture you uploaded have no EXIF data attached. Are you completely sure you are the one who took it? It looks like a screenshot from a YouTube video --Trade (talk) 23:28, 22 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Yes I screenshoted it from a Washington post artical. Is this not allowed? I'm sorry if I messed up again. PokeyMama (talk) 21:17, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
 * You do not own content created by the Washington Post or other news outlets they license content from. You are only able to upload files if they are your own work. You claimed when you uploaded the file that you created it, which you are now saying is not true. If you find yourself filling out false information in the upload form, then that is an indication you are doing it wrong. But don't sweat it. It's pretty common for new users to do this. ― Tartan357  Talk 22:17, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

Requesting images
Could an editor find useful images to accompany the article? That would improve it. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 07:51, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Infographics. Some of those might be used depending on the copyright. In the German Wikipedia it says UNOSAT delivers free satellite imagery, so maybe screenshots of that PDF can be used? The ECHO daily map should be able to be uploaded similar to this. Doesn't give much additional information to the already existing images though. --Lupe (talk) 03:55, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, copyright info for UNOSAT-PDF here --Lupe (talk) 04:14, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

Casualties
Maybe i'm missing something but the 2,000+ deaths in Afghanistan and 43 in Pakistan doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere but the infobox? --Trade (talk) 14:54, 23 June 2022 (UTC)


 * It's under the Impact header. The figure for Pakistan was summed up. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 15:04, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

Number of deaths in Afghanistan
Can we confirm that 1,500+ people have died in Afghanistan? Most news sources STILL say over 1,000 are dead, even articles that were published minutes ago. Crannofonix (talk) 15:43, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
 * The Al Jazeera ref in the lead says 1,500. Jim Michael 2 (talk) 16:07, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
 * The latest report by AP suggest a death toll of 1,150 and 1,600 injured. I will add a range of casualties to the article. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 07:51, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Several thousand homes are destroyed and or damaged, children and adolescents are extremely vulnerable and at high risk of family separation, emotional and psychological distress, abuse and exploitation and other forms of violence.”

Timestamp: In the source provided, I cannot find it “Unfortunately, this morning at around 10:00 AM another tremor has hit again Gayan, one of the areas, and at least five deaths were reported but also 10 more injuries, and it's just making the situation on the ground more and more difficult. And we are planning tomorrow with the SRSG (UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Maalla M'jid) acting to be on the ground with WHO, WFP, UNHCR and OCHA.”

Timestamp: Source provided “UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is rushing tons of relief items and deployed several expert staff to support relief efforts in the south eastern parts of Afghanistan that have been hit by Wednesday’s earthquake. The items include shelter and household supplies, consisting of tents, blankets, jerry cans, buckets, plastic sheets, kitchen sets and solar lamps. And the relief items were delivered from UNHCR’s stockpiles in Kabul and loaded onto nine trucks on Thursday (June 23).”comment added by Crannofonix (talk • contribs) 12:46, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
