Should references to the 27th Feb 2008 earthquake even be on this page?? It has its own page now. 80.168.225.145 (talk) 11:30, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Location

I've put in a very crude location, can anyone refine the {{coord}} tag to more than half-degree accuracy? 82.20.52.30 (talk) 23:53, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Casualty numbers and categories

The infobox under "Casualties" it states "2 (indirect)" The article only mentions that a "a Hull woman died as a result of a heart attack", so is there a source for a second casualty? The article does say that "the head of the waxwork of Dr Crippen at Madame Tussauds" in London fell off as a result of the earthquake, but surely this is not being counted as a casualty! In a related point I also note the article is included in Category:1931 disasters in the United Kingdom in the United Kingdom, but I wonder if one death means that this can be labelled a disaster? As a result of a recent discussion at Talk:1906 Swansea earthquake, the 1906 Swansea earthquake article was removed from Category:1906 disasters in the United Kingdom, although in that case there was no loss of life, only a couple of injuries and the earthquake was less powerful.

I see that the article has been removed from the former Category:1931 disasters in the United Kingdom, which I think is the correct decision. Dunarc (talk) 21:27, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
