Official earthquake information
Where should we go for official information on earthquakes? I've only seen references to the United States Geological Survey. I didn't see even that in this article, except in a caption for a picture, and in the external links. [[User:Brianjd|Brianjd]] 07:41, 2005 Jan 27 (UTC)

Old talk - no headings
I came across your page and noted quite a few inaccuracies and, I'm afraid, a few things that were plain wrong (for example, suggesting that earthquake intensity is associated with the Richter scale, and reference to "seaquakes", a term I've never heard in thirty years as a professional seismologist). So I've tidied it up quickly. I don't think there's anything in the present page that any of my colleagues would argue with -- and they are folk who are only too happy to pick up a good argument -- but there's plenty more that could usefully be added to the page. The long-running debate on the extent to which earthquakes might be predicted, for a start!

- Thanks for being bold! feel free to edit other articles you think needs some work. There are apparently not many professional seismologist editing so your additions are highly important, take a look also, at the article about Seismology, it's currently a stub (only a beginning of an article) so much further work is needed on this field! -- Rotem Dan 13:56 1 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Suggestion:
We were just wondering if you could add something mentioning about how long significant aftershocks will occur after a mainquake. Thanks : )

-- Aftershock is a really loose term.
