This is absolutely useless. Why is this here? Earthquakes happen all the time here, no big deal. I'd imagine the only reason someone put this nonsense here is because of the hype of the impending "Big One." Newsflash, the "Big One" was supposed to be here decades ago. My grandma told me that when she moved to California in 1964 that they were talking about it then, too.
Roswell created alien hype. Then the Commies were 'a coming. What the f*ck. Take this bull off.-- GnarlyLikeWhoa ( talk) 20:49, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
Not to mention, the earthquake did not occur in California. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.130.91.71 ( talk) 07:07, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
The earthquake's epicenter is in Mexico, however, because this was such a large quake so close to the border, and because there were aftershocks in California itself, I think the entry should be included on this list. Until there is a good reason stated otherwise, let's not delete it. Somnlaut ( talk) 16:25, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
The measurement system for Magnitude isn't specified here, so this column doesn't provide a useful or accurate comparison point for these quakes vs. any others. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.164.210.234 ( talk) 20:33, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
I have added a link to a new article, California earthquake forecast. And I would suggest a new section in this article (because it is a topic of great public interest) with a brief discussion of earthquake forecasting/prediction. I can suggest some references if anyone is interested. ~ J. Johnson (JJ) ( talk) 18:44, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
How come the 6.8 magnitude earthquake 50 miles west of Eureka was added but the 7.2 earthquake 100 miles west of Eureka, back in 2005 wasn't added? http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eqinthenews/2005/usziae/#details I think I might add it.. -- Prcc27 ( talk) 02:24, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
Request to merge 2014 Eureka Earthquake with another page. -- Prcc27 ( talk) 05:02, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
No article for the 2014 La Habra Earthquake? Interesting; seeing as total damage is likely to surpass that of the 2008 Chino Hills Earthquake which does have an article.-- Subman758 ( talk) 00:17, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
This earthquake was a 5.1 and should definitely be added! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:32C7:9170:9D9E:C39D:6E45:3377 ( talk) 05:39, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
Does this page really need to list piddly 4.1 quakes? That isn't even a decent-sized aftershock. Should there be some kind of criteria (e.g. magnitude >= 6.0 or a fatality) for a quake to be listed here?
Was made aware of list guidelines fairly recently, and realized that the restructuring and content additions that I've been making are off track, and want to post my intentions to get this list focused on the common selection criteria for stand alone lists. That means a healthy amount of content (5,000–7,500 characters) will be removed. The events that were added were of strong to severe intensity, but that doesn't necessarily mean they had impact that was noteworthy, and most of them will be removed. There are some exceptions though, and I'll retain those. The list has become a little unwieldy, so the removal should be good, and closer to being featured content.

There are several entries in this list that peg their region as "Bay Area". Since the epicenter for the 1906 quake was right off the coast of San Francisco Proper, why is its region listed as "North-Central", as in the border of Northern California and Central California? I would expect "Bay Area" would be the perfect designation, but if there is other extant logic, I'd like to hear it. -:- Alpin Wolf -:- 04:08, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
The last edit to the article got me wondering: why not use the USGS earthquake catalog (see https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/search/) to get authoritative data, particularly the magnitudes? ~ J. Johnson (JJ) ( talk) 21:51, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
Big shakes are given names, such as Sylmar in 1971 and Northridge in 1991. It is unfortunate that the names are not included here. I remember there was a Whittier Narrows. There was another shake I was trying to find and I would recognize it by name. Its magnitude was over 7 in the southern California area but far from civilization so there was little damage. Sam Tomato ( talk) 07:47, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
Does anyone have anymore information to add to the list the 5.3 earthquake that happened two days ago offshore Los Angeles? I’m not sure on the MMI for example for the quake. WikiEditor668 ( talk) 19:19, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
