There were tsunami warnings and evacuations for Australia, but as there were no tsunami and the earthquake did not 'quake' Australia, should it really be listed as one of the countries affected? Adabow ( talk) 10:03, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
I don't think we need a section on aftershocks. This data could be summarised, either verbally or as a graph and/or map. See 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake's section for an example. Adabow ( talk) 10:06, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
This was not the "largest New Zealand earthquake", etc, but the "strongest", surely! Also, it was not a "magnitude 7.8 earthquake" but an earthquake of magnitude 7.8 on the Moment magnitude scale. There are other scales. 203.184.41.226 ( talk) 07:33, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: moved. ( closed by non-admin page mover) Skarmory (talk • contribs) 00:11, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
2009 Fiordland earthquake → 2009 Dusky Sound earthquake – 2009 Dusky Sound earthquake appears to be the common name.
Looking at Google Scholar:
- "2009 Dusky Sound earthquake" has 51 results
- "2009 Fiordland earthquake" has 21 results
Media appears to be split between the two. ―

- By the seventh day of opening this proposal you could just move to the new title (or ask at WP:RM) per WP:SILENCE. Given the low-profile of the topic and absence of discussions, I don't forsee any strong oppositions. It'll make the GA nomination smoother unless the reviewer decides to pitch in, Dora the Axe-plorer ( explore) 05:02, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
- Support - earthquake seems to be more commonly referred to as the Dusky Sound earthquake than Fiordland more broadly. Turnagra ( talk) 21:43, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
- Support - makes sense based on those Scholar results. Mikenorton ( talk) 22:21, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
