Magnitude 2.5 newsworthy?[edit]

These reports are interesting, but I question the newsworthiness of a magnitude 2.5. Not sure anyone would even feel a quake that size, and there are literally dozens going on all the time of that magnitude. Also, as a formatting suggestion, please try and change the ALL CAPS in the sources to lowercase. --Jcart1534 - (talk) 11:51, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'll limit future reports to 4.0+. I'll change the caps in the sources to lower case. --Anonymous101 (talk · contribs) 15:00, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've changed the RSS feed I use to get these updates from 2.5 minimum to 4.0 minimum. 4.0 is the figure that the USGS use to classify a strong earthquake so I think that would be an appropriate figure. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anonymous101 (talk • contribs) 15:03, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
