Name of article

[edit]

Given that there were two large earthquakes, with magnitudes of 7.3 and 7.1 according to the ISC-GEM catalogue (reported here and here), I think that this page should be renamed to 1957 Fethiye earthquakes. Mikenorton (talk) 13:50, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also the epicentres of the earthquakes were offshore, between Rhodes and Fethiye, according to both USGS/ICS-GEM and the KOERI (Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute) catalogues [1]. Mikenorton (talk) 16:36, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thank you very much for your above contributions. I fully agree with your suggestion of naming. On the other hand, I was unfortunately not aware of the USGS reports. I kindly ask you to perform the necessary corrections with proper refs. CeeGee 17:41, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for changing the name. I'm updating the magnitudes and locations using the ISC-GEM catalogue, which show redeterminations for all major earthquakes from 1900-2009. These are the same values as reported in the USGS pages on these events and I will cite them, as that's easier than getting people to search through the whole catalogue.
