This new list incorporates most of the events listed in the 2004-2009 page together with other earthquakes from the 'List of earthquakes' and the 'Historical earthquakes' pages from the end of 2000. The time range for the existing page seemed very arbitrary and the new one fits in with recently revamped Historical earthquakes and the List of twentieth century earthquakes.
I have removed all earthquakes with magnitudes less than 5.5, apart from one that caused a fatality, and a list of these appears below. If we start including smaller quakes this list will become unmanageable. I suspect that for a global list the minimum should actually be set even higher than that. Smaller events should be added to the relevant country lists.
Any comments should be left here or at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Earthquakes#List of earthquakes (2). Mikenorton ( talk) 20:49, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
This list should be devide into Decade such as List of 2000s earthquakes, List of 2010s earthquakes because in the future this list will be very long.-- Tranletuhan ( talk) 01:41, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
"Recent" is not a good word to use in an encyclopaedia as it goes out of date. "Since 2001" or "twentyfirst century" would be better. Pol098 ( talk) 18:01, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
I tried to google the Red Cross to find out right from the horses mouth what their estimate was for the number of fatalities in haiti, but could not locate any page on their website with this info. However, many news media report using this Red Cross estimate. Just wondering how the press knows? Ottawahitech ( talk) 13:44, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
Given the article name, I now think this list should only include the most notable and well known earthquakes of the 21st century, perhaps the criteria could be at least 10 deaths or above magnitude 8.0. Since there are about 150ish quakes per year above magnitude 6, the list will never be complete for magnitude 6 and larger, and even if it was it would be unnecessarily long. These smaller and less notable earthquakes can be included in articles like 2010 earthquakes. Thoughts anyone? RapidR ( talk) 00:00, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
I am trying to think of the best way for people to find information. It appears to be impossible to link the June 23rd earthquake to any list as it is non-notable (however, I live over 100 km away and it moved chairs and a sofa in my house). I had it on the list, but it was removed. How about a page listing countries? Can anyone think of anything better?? l santry ( talk) 15:48, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
This article would be much more useful if all earthquakes were in one table so that, for instance, the magnitudes could be compared over the decade, rather than the year. I want to find the 5 biggest earthquakes in the past ten years which is a really slow process at this point because they can't be compared when they are part of separate tables. Can this be changed? 202.74.204.112 ( talk) 02:17, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
Clicking on the magnitude column sorting gadget on some of the tables on this page breaks the table formatting. Try 2007, for example. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.137.5.129 ( talk) 14:02, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
I can not see haiti in the chart. Should be removed. -- Itu ( talk) 18:22, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
The table of earthquakes incorrectly records the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake as 21 February 2011, this earthquake killed 185 people. You can verify this on Geonet site. Cathy — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cathy Adair ( talk • contribs) 10:54, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
Hello, all! I just had something to point out. The article says that it is listing earthquakes with a magnitude of 7 and or above. I was just wondering if we delete the earthquakes that are 6.9 or below, or we change the description of the article to magnitude 6 or above. I also have a suggestion that we delete the earthquakes that are below 6.0 magnitude, UNLESS the death toll is very high, like at least 500 or maybe 1,000.
Sincerely, Katemorganishere ( talk) 04:27, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
I agree that all the earthquakes with fatalities belong on this page. But it's a bit hard to navigate if you are only interested to learn about mag 7 earthquakes.
I filtered it to mag 7 and greater in my user space here for my own use: User:Robertinventor/earthquakes and suggest it would be a good idea to have that as a separate article. Robert Walker ( talk) 14:46, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

This article has been tagged as "too long" since February 2014 - it is now twice as long (in terms of bytes). The obvious thing is to split it up into one article per decade, e.g. List of earthquakes 2001-2010 and so on. When I started this article in its current form (it was "Recent earthquakes" starting in 2004) I chose to split the overall earthquake lists as: up to and including 1900, 1901-2000 and 2001 onwards. It has been suggested that I used a slightly archaic view (although one that I still hold) that centuries start on "1" and end on "100" and that we should perhaps shift to: up to 1899, 1900-1999 and 2000 onwards. I think that before splitting we should probably resolve that issue, so that we don't have to rework the split articles later. Mikenorton ( talk) 21:00, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
Now that the detailed list of earthquakes has been moved to the two new articles, this article would be more accurately named as Lists of 21st-century earthquakes. Unless there are objections, I will do that in a few days time. Mikenorton ( talk) 15:23, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
The total deaths per year are completely unsourced. I intend to simply remove this column, unless someone comes up with a source. Mikenorton ( talk) 10:22, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
Thanks User:Dwianto08 for adding a citation to Statista. I did my own compilation of figures for 2000, 2004, 2010, 2011 and 2015 using the NOAA earthquake database. In all cases the figures do not match with those given in the Statista source,
The discrepancy for 2010 is understandable as there is a very large range of figures for the 2010 Haiti earthquake, but the difference for 2004 is more of a concern. Initial figures for the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake were 280,000, before the Indonesian authorities dropped the total of missing by more than 50,000, giving a final figure of 227,898, which is generally accepted. It would appear that Statista have not updated their figures. I can provide figures from the NOAA earthquakes database for each year - at least then we would know where they came from and we can add footnotes for things like the 2004 and 2010 totals. Mikenorton ( talk) 17:16, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
Looking further
In both those cases the other three sources are very similar and totally different to Statista. Mikenorton ( talk) 18:03, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
On [ of ongoing armed conflicts] the death tolls show a decrease in deaths as a green arrow where as a decrease in the death toll on this page shows as red. Which is correct? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrew.aussie.0407 ( talk • contribs) 09:58, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
