Not an exhaustive research I conducted, but the Abstract of the [1] scholarly paper confirms the years. Hence the Aleppo quake is the first in the first series. Please doublecheck my changes, as the 1137 quake relevant to the conflation mentioned in the intro section happened earlier. —Preceding unsigned comment added by KlausFoehl ( talk • contribs) 12:23, 11 October 2010 (UTC) reply

P.S. The diff [2] shows these changes by IP. The change 4th to 5th deadliest is not by IP, but please check as well. -- KlausFoehl ( talk) 12:28, 11 October 2010 (UTC) reply

P.P.S. [3] shows it in third place "Listed in order of greatest number of deaths". Beware of vandalism on the facts! -- KlausFoehl ( talk) 12:36, 11 October 2010 (UTC) reply

P.P.P.S. After some sleuthing: two VM edits (reverted). plus one fact that stems from Template:Deadliest earthquakes but quotes USGS (the USGS table puts it 3rd and not 5th). Changed to USGS ranking. -- KlausFoehl ( talk) 13:15, 11 October 2010 (UTC) reply

Question of ranking now raised in Talk:Lists of earthquakes. Let's move discussions there. -- KlausFoehl ( talk) 13:53, 11 October 2010 (UTC) reply
