Prose and content

[edit]
  • present-day Tajikistan specify in present day Tajikistan to avoid implying the USSR is synonymous
  • link Mercalli intensity
  • Nearly 80,000 homes were damaged and thousands more were destroyed in Pakistan Silly to imply a building that was destroyed wasn't damaged; "more than 80,000 home were damaged, including thousands in Pakistan" etc.
  • Landslides also wiped these are not included in the damage statistics? Also implies in addition to the figures of damage/destroyed
  • Their high frequency have been → was
  • some 78 km the reader isn't going to think it's exactly 78km.
  • was recorded were
  • attributed higher figures with the area's remoteness could you explain this? They were overestimated because the remoteness wasn't considered? Also, with the area's remoteness should be changed to "to the area's remoteness"

Suggestions

[edit]
  • Consider linking reverse-faulting
  • Consider using Template:US$
  • Link subducted
  • Use template:nbsp between Mw 6.8 and 0.08 to 0.11 g
  • Consider using Template:To USD when discussing rupees
  • Link to Kuwait Red Crescent Society

Sources

[edit]
  • [1] Green tickY
  • [3] Magenta clockclock The source announces "some 77 km" but the article says "some 78 km"
  • [5a] Green tickY
  • [5c] Magenta clockclock should be clarified that the deaths were reported as "unconfirmed" and possibly that it was reported immediately after, so it doesn't seem like they were exaggerating
  • [5e] Green tickY
  • [5g] Green tickY although source spells it Kucha
  • [7] Green tickY
  • [9] Magenta clockclock it's a significant omission that the local authorities were acting and communicating with each other

Other

[edit]
  • Stable Green tickY
  • Images appropriately tagged Green tickY
  • No COPYVIO / OR Green tickY Earwig down for me
