This page: /info/en/?search=List_of_historical_earthquakes has the Aleppo earthquake occurring 11 October 1138... ???
Also, the Header Link on this page says "Deadliest earthquakes" but links to a page of Historical Famines? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.243.63.16 ( talk) 03:23, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Lists of earthquakes's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 15:00, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

A larger earthquake might have occurred in 859: [1]
Just leaving it here for now, won't add it due to its magnitude not being given. Alpha Piscis Austrini ( talk) 12:29, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
A new earthquake which could be added to the list

In Largest earthquakes by country/territory, the event for Poland was a mb 5.8 on August 6, 1983, referencing the USGS catalog. The only corresponding event in the ISC Bulletin: event catalogue search was a ML 2.8/3.5 quake in the same area and time. Quick searches in English and Polish couldn't fork up anything about this event. I now suspect this is a misreported event by the USGS that shouldn't be included.-- Dora the Axe-plorer ( explore the morgue) 14:17, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
This event that happen in May of 2003 is not mentioned in the article. For reference there is a wikipedia page on the same 2003 Boumerdès earthquake Please consider updating the main page. Sbliecer ( talk) 11:01, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
The flags in (at least some of) the lists are not period-accurate, and instead are the modern flags of the countries listed. 69.116.147.54 ( talk) 03:54, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
The entry for 1960 obviously should be https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1960_Valdivia_earthquake 109.144.21.212 ( talk) 15:38, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
I stupidly mistook biggest for deadliest. Please remove my Talk entries. 109.144.21.212 ( talk) 17:08, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
The present map seems centered on Europe/Altantic (a Euro-centric perspective is no surprise). But it would make more geological sense to have it centered on the Pacific Ocean. That way, the five largest dots would make a near-complete ring delineating the "Pacific Ring of Fire". Anybody have the means to create such a map? Titus III ( talk) 18:58, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
