Reverting your edit
I reverted your edit, as you changed the original title in the citation. Normally we copy the title in exactly as it appears in the original, although sometimes (e.g. where the original was all in capitals) a minor change is appropriate. If you find any examples of things like "8km" in normal article content, then please edit away. Thanks for trying to improve Wikipedia and please don't be put off by having your first edit reverted, it happens to all of us. Mikenorton (talk) 15:17, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
 * l’m confused. Why should it not say ‘8 km,’ when all the other distances for all the other earthquakes in the article have a space character between the # and ‘km?’ Was it really my 1st edit? Or what do you mean by ‘1st edit?’--83.73.122.92 (talk) 19:32, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Well under this specific IP address it appears to be your first edit. The change that you made was to the title of a reference, in that case the USGS page on the earthquake. When we cite a source we have to go with the title exactly as given on the webpage that we're citing, even if it has a spelling mistake and we certainly shouldn't apply Wikipedia's manual of style to it or try to "correct" it it any way.

 * Surely it’s okay if l change the main text (in the article’s text itself) to ‘8 km’ instead of ‘8km’ given my explanation above.--83.73.122.92 (talk) 21:09, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, as I said in my original comment above, feel free to change such things in the text itself. Mikenorton (talk) 21:14, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
