location, so I don't understand why one source (which even once downloaded is almost intractable) trumps all others. In other such conflicts of information, it is normal to provide either the range of possible values, or "at least" for casualties (for example) or a footnote explaining to our readers that this article uses sources which conflict with one another but the conservative figures are used in an encyclopedic manner. Oh, and no, I don't take "failed verification" personally at all. I would just work on providing something a reader could verify, particularly when plenty of conflicting evidence is present in reliable sources.

No-one owns articles, I don't really care for your bogus interpretation. I have nearly 200 GAs and if someone suggested something wasn't clear, verifiable, potentially incorrect or needed explanation, I'd get on and try to improve things rather than resort to abusing rollback, accusing people of all

My final comment here is that, in seismological circles, the ISC is considered the final authority on earthquake parameters. In the future, please consider exhausting all other avenues (asking for help navigating the website, for example) before placing templates in an article that essentially says

I do apologize for jumping down your throat, but think if an editor were to do the same to one of your many good articles. Like if they were to put a failed verification tag on a citation to a book that they didn't have a copy of for example. So seeing those tags they're really just made me feel a

GAs does something to address this discrepancy. I'm not here to get people to like me, I'm here to build a verifiable encyclopedia. This article fails to live up to the standards we should be demanding, and you're clearly defending the indefensible in a personalised and childish fashion. Have a

Well, as I'm sure you're aware, with earthquakes there are always myriad reports containing lots of differing figures. My stance with these articles is that if we were to include several or more of these figures it would just be confusing for the reader and probably look cluttered on the page as

I didn't "fucking call a liar" you abusive individual. I asked you to tell me how to verify the facts. I've even downloaded the CSV file and its impenetrable. This is no different from using on a large PDF where guidance is required to find the details. Now calm yourself down and try to be

article which describes the earthquake on p. 305 as having an Ms of 5.7 and 1700 to 2800 deaths. There is a wide range of values for these particular fields across academic works and the external links given on the page, including direct conflicts for things such as the depth and the precise

I can promise you that obtaining a copy of the spreadsheet is not difficult. I can put the steps all in order for you, but please know that it is no more difficult than navigating any of the thousands of websites that are present these days and that we all need to use on a regular basis.

670: 665: 191: 675: 322: 610:"this is potentially not correct". No one will like you for that, especially seasoned editors with handfuls of good articles under their belts. Take care, 534: 538: 695: 182: 159: 660: 60: 705: 427: 417: 288: 263: 242: 710: 271: 248: 393: 99: 700: 483:
Then tell me how to verify the claims then? Try being helpful instead of just plain insulting, hyperbolic, and abusive.
