Foreshock/mainshock v. Doublet
Many earthquakes occur as clusters that do not follow the archetypal sequence of foreshocks-mainshock-aftershocks. Two earthquakes with very similar epicentres, focal mechanisms and magnitudes are regarded as doublets. Felzer et al. (2004) in their study state "all clustered earthquakes that are within 0.4 magnitude units of each other are classified as doublets". Using that cut-off the recent Iran–Turkey earthquakes are a doublet, rather than foreshock-mainshock and should not be reported as such. Mikenorton (talk) 23:43, 24 February 2020 (UTC)

Wikilinks in death toll and magnitude sections
Does it make sense to include links in by death toll and by magnitude sections? Like this:

By death toll
Listed are earthquakes with at least 10 dead.

By magnitude
Listed are earthquakes with at least 7.0 magnitude.

Sometimes the link is included in the location but not really visible plus doesn't make sense. to click on location to find the quake link. Thanks for feedbacks. Wykx (talk) 22:50, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

June 23, 2020 Mexico earthquake.

2020 Shumagin Earthquake
The earthquake that occurred south of the Alaska Peninsula should have a page dedicated to itself. It is the largest earthquake in the world so far and did cause some damage in Alaska. It ruptured the lower section of the Shumagin Gap of the Aleutian Subduction Zone. It is necessary that this earthquake have its own page, for this reason. Obviously, more research must be done into this earthquake, as it is incredibly under-researched, as evidenced by the lack of information in Wikipedia about it.

Fixing the table
This is an updated table that is more accurate than the one on the article. However, I did discover that 2010, 2012, 2013, 2018 & 2019 don't match up, as the Total on the website doesn't match up with individual magnitude ranges.


 * I just checked the individual figures for 2010 and the total and they all check out with the numbers given in the USGS catalog search. It's probably something that we just have to live with. Mikenorton (talk) 19:30, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
