This is insufficient to verify several facts claimed on this page. The specific page should be linked, and if that's not possible, precise instructions on how to find that should be provided here. The Rambling Man ( Hands! Face! Space!!!!) 09:13, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
Well, as I'm sure you're aware, with earthquakes there are always myriad reports containing lots of differing figures. My stance with these articles is that if we were to include several or more of these figures it would just be confusing for the reader and probably look cluttered on the page as well.
I do apologize for jumping down your throat, but think if an editor were to do the same to one of your many good articles. Like if they were to put a failed verification tag on a citation to a book that they didn't have a copy of for example. So seeing those tags they're really just made me feel a little invalidated and I think that that is what plenty of editors may feel in the same situation.
I can promise you that obtaining a copy of the spreadsheet is not difficult. I can put the steps all in order for you, but please know that it is no more difficult than navigating any of the thousands of websites that are present these days and that we all need to use on a regular basis.

My final comment here is that, in seismological circles, the ISC is considered the final authority on earthquake parameters. In the future, please consider exhausting all other avenues (asking for help navigating the website, for example) before placing templates in an article that essentially says "this is potentially not correct". No one will like you for that, especially seasoned editors with handfuls of good articles under their belts. Take care, Dawnseeker2000 10:29, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
