Review of revision 1078420 [Passed][edit]

Inaccuracies[edit]

  1. The USGS does not use the Richter scale but the moment magnitude, compare source parameter entry M-type=teleseismic moment magnitude (Mw).
  2. The source does not indicate that the intensity was later down-graded. The information might come from another, here unspecified source, maybe based on data from another agency than the USGS who maybe is using the Richter scale (if the source was some kind of scientific the abbreviation Ml or M<subL is probably given).

Because of the last time I tried to fix a wrong information in an already published article it caused some confusion I'll leave it to others to correct the article. --Matthiasb (talk) 07:03, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
