Can iask people to look at the query i have raised at Wikipedia talk:Citing sources#Language...? Simply south ( talk) 01:04, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
Is it 7.2 or 6.8? Rmhermen ( talk) 05:17, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
the article isn't so large to have a subpage yet-- TheFEARgod ( Ч) 17:33, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
It might get bigger, so I think we should wait. ~ Me ldshal 42 18:19, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
I have put "not in citation given" (failed verification) tag in that article. ( Talk:List of 2008 Iwate earthquake aftershocks) We can't use the data to mean the aftershocks. No verification exists that the data are free from info on any non-related earthquake. More than 300 felt aftershocks have been observed, according to the statistics by Japan Meteorological Agency as of every hour on the hour. Such statistics must be common among major news media in Japan. How about using the JMA statistics instead? -- Dumpty-Humpty ( talk) 03:50, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
This article seems not to be renamed again in a near future, so I just now added 9 pages to be redirected to it: Nos. 3 to 11. (When we rename it, we should check redirects by clicking "What links here" in the toolbox.)
Probably these are enough for readers.... -- Dumpty-Humpty ( talk) 03:54, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
It's better not to use Template:convert to convert a roughly-rounded number. That makes the result less accurate. If the result is rounded again, the error may become larger. Listed below are the sources to state the epicenter is about 85 km (55 mi) away from Sendai, about 385 km (240 mi) away from Tokyo. -- Dumpty-Humpty ( talk) 08:52, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

"another (death) occurred when a truck struck a man." With respect to the deceased, I just have to bring up the point that this article is about an Earthquake, not a traffic accident.
Edwin Larkin ( talk) 15:28, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
With hurricanes, we always differentiate between direct and indirect deaths. A direct death in a hurricane is one caused by floodwaters, wind debris, building collapse, etc. But then there are the indirect deaths, like the people who died in the bus during the Hurricane Rita evacuation. They died because of the hurricane, but the hurricane didn't kill them. This is a similar situation. It is a death attributable to the earthquake that was not directly caused by it. -- Golbez ( talk) 23:11, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
According to the following report http://www.bousai.go.jp/kinkyu/iwate/2008-iwate-cao-024.pdf the actual number number of deaths is 13, neither 12 (as the English version of this article claims) nor 17(figure taken from the Japanese version. Does this have anything to do with the man who was hit by the truck? -- 114.158.144.33 ( talk) 16:48, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
