Hi, Matt EK 87 (and other interested/knowledgeable editors). I adjusted the date of the 1968 Inangahua earthquake to show May 24, rather than May 23, in the terrific list you've created (tons of work - thanks for doing that). I see that the date you used is per the date (and time, 5 at night rather than 5 in morning, though time is not in this list) as recorded in the United States Geological Survey database. I'm wondering if it is the norm to use the USGS date/time stamp - and if it is, should that fact be listed at the top of the article and the top of the two major sections (Overall, Notable events), to explain the "apparent discrepancy" between the dates in the list and the date in the linked articles (since the articles refer to the local date)? Is the USGS date/time stamp based on the date/time at USGS office in Virginia, USA, or is it UTC? Even if it isn't the norm to always use the USGS time stamp, it would still save lots of re-work in this, and other "List of earthquakes in YYYY" articles you've created, to just stick with the USGS date and put the "date explanation" in the article(s). Look forward to your thoughts. Jmg38 (talk) 21:06, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
