I recall another article just a few days ago near identical to this... aha, Series of earthquakes hit Korea, Indonesia, Turkey and Norway.

This hardly rates as journalism. Submitted from different IP's by presumably the same user. There's never anything to say about an earthquake under 5.0 magnitude. Moreover several quakes the same day do not constitute a series of quakes. Is the pattern to wait for a one over 6 and then report all over 4 for the day? What can we do about this?

Agreed. It just shows the times the quakes happend. Feel free to add more info to this article. FellowWikiNews (W) (sign here!) 21:46, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well... my point is, there is nothing to add. Aside from the Taiwan earthquake, which was perceivable but did not cause damage, these are simply not newsworthy. They didn't cause anything because they were not powerful enough. Potatoswatter 12:45, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
