Granada earthquake

You are making a mistake with the articles. Andalusia is not a specific place, it's a region of Spain. The earthquake had its epicenter in Granada and should be named after Granada, as in the rest of Wikipedias. Please correct the article. Lopezsuarez (talk) 18:44, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

@Lopezsuarez The renaming back to Andalusia was because you had not provide any substantial reason to support your earlier move. If you disagree with the current title, open a move discussion first. Do not move any page, especially high profile articles, to a new (and controversial) name without a discussion. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 00:15, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

The 2024 Sea of Japan earthquake

Hello there, Is it true that the Shindo 7 earthquake is confirmed? KeithAndAftons123 (talk) 14:33, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Confirmed as in .... ? Multiple reliable sources are reporting intensity 7 so that's the closest to a "confirmation" I can give you Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 14:39, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
Oh so i thought it was confirmation by the JMA, But thanks. KeithAndAftons123 (talk) 15:40, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Foreign language titles in refs

Hi, I just wanted to reach out in a friendly and informative way; I noticed several of your edits to 2024 Sea of Japan earthquake where you added references did not follow the style guide laid out at Help:Citation Style 1#Titles and chapters for use in templates such as Template:Cite news or Template:Cite web. For titles in non-Latin scripts, they should be added using |script-title=. For example, with Japanese, it would be |script-title=ja:. A romanization of the non-Latin script title is then used in the |title= parameter. The rest of this you already seem to know: the English translation of the title is then used in |trans-title=, with |lang= or |language= being used to indicate the language of origin. I've already gone ahead and corrected the existing refs on the article to follow this style. I just wanted to let you know for future reference. Regards. Rowing007 (talk) 16:18, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi and thanks for the reminder. May I know @Rowing007 how do you obtain the romanization? Do you have to run the script title through an external website or does Wikipedia have a script I can add to my js commons page? Otherwise this is a very inconvenient and time-consming task which I haven't come across when working on other foreign-language references. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 16:38, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
I just have an extra tab open with Google translate for (in this case) Japanese to English. I paste the script title, then the romanization appears underneath it, with the English translation on the right. It takes maybe an extra 15 seconds per reference. Besides the fact that this is required, it is beneficial because it allows people to read the original language without needing to understand the script. Again though, this is only for non-Latin scripts such as Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Russian (Cyrillic script), Greek, Arabic, etc., not all foreign languages. For example, titles in French, Spanish, German, etc., only require |title=, |trans-title= and |lang=, because the languages use the Latin alphabet. Rowing007 (talk) 17:05, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

About the 2016 IAF AN-32 disappearance page

Hello, I have added this topic in the talk page of the i incident, but thought nobody would see it so I'm asking you since you were the last editor. My question is, now that the debris has been discovered and confirmed to be of K-2743, should we change the title to 2016 Indian Air Force An-32 Crash? I'm still new and don't feel confident about it, so if you can confirm, I'll go ahead with it. Also, there is a image of that exact plane parked at an AFB, but it seems to be from social media. Can you guide me whether we can use it in the article and if we can, how do we cite the source?(it's on X) AnalyserOP (talk) 09:36, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

I've moved the page Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 11:34, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
Thanks, and about the picture, can you help me with it?
I just need guidance in citing since its been posted on social media.
And now that the crash has been confirmed, it'd be more relevant now to use the picture of the exact plane(we're lucky that it's available). AnalyserOP (talk) 12:13, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
I can't find any proper details about the image including original author, licenses, etc... I can't be certain the X account is the owner of that image. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 12:45, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
alright no problem. thanks. AnalyserOP (talk) 14:08, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

"Shimbum"

Hi, I noticed in several of your edits to 2024 Noto earthquake (e.g., most recently here) that you've been naming Japanese newspapers as "shimbum"; this is a misspelling. The works in question are spelled "shimbun". For example, Yomiuri Shimbun, The Asahi Shimbun, Sankei Shimbun, Mainichi Shimbun, Kobe Shimbun, etc. :) Best, Rowing007 (talk) 14:27, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

2023 Maluku earthquake

Sorry Dora the Axe-plorer, I missed out on that discussion, seems entirely appropriate though. Mikenorton (talk) 12:55, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

Glad you can agree with the redirect. On another note, thanks for updating the NGDC references Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 13:35, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
The NGDC updates pretty much suit by abilities right now - only another 250 or so to go. It's a shame that they didn't reach out in advance like the ISC did recently. I kind of feel that this is something that could be done by a bot, but that's way outside my capabilities, Cheers. Mikenorton (talk) 13:52, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

USGS

Where to get past earthquakes in USGS? I can't find the Sawu Sea earthquake on USGS.

Also, for 'considering every global agency as well' is unnecessary because if USGS is the most reliable source, then I agree, but if other agency (especially if it is local agency) recorded it beyond >6.0 M, we need to consider it, making USGS less reliable than it.

Furthermore, I think this is very bad idea, if too dependent on USGS only as it may violate WP:WORLDWIDE. Especially, there are no rigid 'standardization' on wikipedia. Like I said in the talk page, if wanted to only include source from USGS only, consider change it to "List of earthquakes in 2024 by USGS" as the current title "List of earthquakes in 2024" is very misleading to people around the world, including me apparently.

And also, no offense, I'm sorry if I did too bold actions, I just want to help. Peace, EdhyRa (talk) 06:42, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

@EdhyRa, I am not the coordinator of Wikipedia, so do reach out to Mikenorton on his inputs. He's been around longer than I have so he has a better perspective of things.
Note that WP:WORLDWIDE is not a guideline hence cannot be violated. The USGS covers earthquakes globally (M4+) so I don't see any issue with that even if it was a policy.
The Savu Sea event is here Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 07:03, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for the reach out, I just checked, and it indeed has 5.7M on USGS. The distance is also different, 104 km from BMKG, 85 km from USGS.
If in the end, the Sawu Sea earthquake is not included, then I'm legawa. Legawa is Indonesian-ism of Javanese word legowo. If using Google Translate it translated to 'relieved', but I think is mistranslated. Legawa is more like 'surrender/give up, but with good/happy feeling – not the usual resent one'.
Also, pardon me for bits of broken English, I'm from Indonesia, a Javanese currently living in Malang. The 6.4M East Java earthquake in 22 March 2024, I felt that – my first earthquake tbh. After that, I become interested in List of earthquakes in 2024, so yeah I'll admit include the Sawu Sea earthquake is may kinda bias from myself.
Best regards, EdhyRa (talk) 07:20, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
Your English is fine, don't worry. Glad you have an interest in Wikipedia's Earthquake project.
you may still raise the USGS ref problem in the talk page. But I just see it as standardisation sake. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 09:05, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

ITN recognition for 2024 Taiwan earthquake

Why are you saying my editing is disrupting? Please NPA

Remember Wikipedia is not a place for personal attack, next time you will be reported, i edited the article long before you, you are no one to judge which is problematic and which is not check July 2022, alswo I gave WP:RS. Anyway I don't want to engage with Wp:EW but this is a STRICT warning, next time you falsely accuse me of problematic edit be ready to be reported! See WP:ASPERSIONS. I am a busy person now and to avoid WP:EW which seems to be your desire will refrain now but will add it later again when am free, but if you are gonna edit Wikipedia follow the rules and never engage in Personal Attack! Dilbaggg (talk) 09:53, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

And your reply here is a threat whichI can also report FYI@Dilbaggg Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 09:56, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
This is not a reply it is called a warning, we have the right to warn those who violate Wikipedia guidlines, anyway unlike your aggressive WP:EW mentality edit I decided not to start content dispute now as per WP:TRR, but I warn you again not to leave personal attacks on your edit summary and I will fix the mess later, no time to seek WP:DR at the moment cause of my busy life but hope to fix it tgo the actual older version where this entry was there before when I am free. Dilbaggg (talk) 10:01, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
@Dilbaggg Falsely accusing someone of personal attacks when you don't have evidence is a problem. You are not warning, you are threatening me without basis. Present your evidence Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 10:04, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
This is again another warning, be grateful that I did not report you yet, see edit summary you canot change it [1] quoting you " Disrupting the list", "causing problems" these are personal attacks, check WP:ASPERSIONS, I am letting you also cause you are new to the guidelines, but do not test my patience, I gave valid reason and long before you started editing this entry was removed without proper consensus, I hope you can learn from this mistake, anyway it may be added back later as it was removed without consensus, sadly I am currently kinda busy and don't want WP:TRR broken, but do not engage in personal attacks again and best wishes to you on your future on Wikipedia, take care. Dilbaggg (talk) 10:11, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
The list has been ranked with the top 10 entries, you added an additional one to make it 11, that's not disruptive? Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 10:15, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
I did that cause I didn't want to remove the 1920 earthquake just yet, we are allowed to change the title, check the title before 2010, then before 2020, titles can change, ok maybe it wasn't right to change title heading but I did that to not exclude the 1920 earthquake just yet but if any gets removed than its that one, as the list is of the highest estimated death toll, WP:RS supports it and check old edits and you can see even 2 years ago 1556 earthquake was there and was removed without consenus. Anyway no hard feelings, you seem to be a good editor, but just don't accuse other editors of wrong things which count as personal attack and assume WP:AGF and 1556 one can be added back anytime as it was removed without consensus. Dilbaggg (talk) 10:23, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
@Dilbaggg I started a discussion in the list's talk page, I hope we can find common grounds and agree on something. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 10:29, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
Anyway this warning is not a punishment, it is your chance to become a better editor and comply with WP:NPA and avoid WP:EW and actually learn guidlines, also I can add it back (after a certain time) as it was originally there long before you came and it was removed without WP:RfC, a consensus would be needed to remove it, not add it, but am busy for now, good day. Dilbaggg (talk) 10:03, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
BTW telling me you have edited the page before I for personal validation to prove you are "superior" .. tell me that's not a threat/attack Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 10:06, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
I am not trying to be superior, I have the right to warn editors about personal attacks! Don't do it again and take care. Dilbaggg (talk) 10:11, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
I strongly disagree with that, looking at the wording in your edit summaries. That felt like an attack and if I interpret it as an attack or threat, it is one, irregardless of your actual intentions. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 11:41, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

We don't stylize song titles

Regarding your creation of this article, we would not stylize the article title like that anyway per MOS:CT and MOS:CAPS. Also, I think you know there was nothing located at So High School, so you should have at least requested a move of So High School (song) at WP:RM/TR, even though this song isn't particularly notable on its own yet, so don't be surprised if another Taylor Swift-focused editor comes along and redirects it. Thank you. Ss112 04:55, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

@Ss112 If you looked into the article history, I was in the midst of developing. I don't have another set of arms to complete two tasks at the same time. Thanks for completing the move Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 05:05, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
You don't need "another set of arms". Fair enough that you may have been in the process of developing the article, but after creating an article, it would have taken a matter of seconds to pull up another tab (which every modern Internet browser is capable of doing) and navigate to WP:RM/TR to request it be moved. In case you're in the process of making them, not every one of Swift's album tracks needs an article—Ippantekina and another user redirected several you created the other day. All that being said, this isn't to say that you wouldn't have requested the move. But in case you weren't going to, this is also for future reference. Ss112 14:38, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
Good for you making the move before I had the chance because I was doing something else even though it would've taken me a matter of seconds. Wonderful
Sincerely, an editor who's quite familiar with RM/TR but was in the midst of developing content and found the bit about tabs a poor attempt at humor Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 14:34, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

1974 Dunedin earthquake

Hi I've been working on a draft (still a long way from finishing) for the Draft:1974 Dunedin earthquake. After a bit of work I started to question its notability, and now I to think it falls short. The reason I'm asking for your help is because I want to avoid having all time wasted.

Do you agree with my assessment that the earthquake is not notable? To sum it up, it had a VIII/VII intensity, it was only magnitude 4.9 but caused NZ$3.5 million in damages (a source says this is "extraordinarily large" for this magnitude), which was mostly minor. There were no reported casualties. The region is seismically inactive, with this earthquake being the largest since European settlement and the first to cause widespread damage. The earthquake is still occasionally covered in media, but this is regional. I have found some scientific coverage, but unfortunately it is not much. Am I right in that it is not notable?

I was thinking that if the earthquake is not notable, a way to save my work would be to create (or add to) a list article, but I can't find any earthquake lists on Wikipedia that go beyond tables. Do you have any ideas? Thanks for the help on the 2009 Dusky Sound earthquake, by the way. ―Panamitsu (talk) 10:16, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

You may be able to add this section of content under the history header of Dunedin, or create a new header for Geology and include this event inside (then you'll have to create content for the city's geological history otherwise this header won't work).
