Semi-protected edit request on 3 January 2024

This edit request to 2024 Sea of Japan earthquake has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

‹ The template Edit semi-protected is being considered for merging. ›

Change "The earthquake was also felt by residents in Tokyo and across the Kanto Region[5] and as far as Aomori Prefecture in the northern tip of Kyushu to Honshu in the south of the country."

to "The earthquake was also felt by residents in Tokyo and across the Kanto Region[5] and as far as Aomori Prefecture in the northern tip of Honshu to Kyushu in the south of the country.", as Aomori is located on the northern tip of Honshu and not on Kyushu, whilst Kyushu is in the southwest of the country. 49.228.240.242 (talk) 08:22, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Probably a typo. Borgenland (talk) 08:26, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wht the summary? 143.44.165.91 (talk) 11:28, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Damage to Kanazawa and Uchinada

There was major damage to the Uchinada area because of liquefaction.

Also, a landside destroyed four houses in the ShinTagami area of Kanazawa. Macgroover (talk) 06:59, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maximum tsunami run-up height

A run-up height of 6.58 m has been mentioned. This source explains the origin of the report. The general page on the tsunami reports this value as provisional. Mikenorton (talk) 19:18, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge

I suggest that Noto earthquake swarm be merged into this article. Because Noto earthquake swarm is very substub. The largest of the series of earthquake swarms will be the 2024 earthquake, so I think it would be a good idea to also explain the earthquake swarm that has been occurring for several years in this article. 124.35.54.170 (talk) 07:32, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support on condition — Nothing remotely notable about the swarm I think the table shouldn't appear if there's not going to be a proper paragraph to detail the swarm. The Japanese article elaborates further on it though.Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 09:14, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support for now - I think that the swarm may well be notable, there's quite a lot of papers written about it. Merge for now but article could be recreated in the future based on what's been published. Mikenorton (talk) 10:17, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support - There's not much on the swarm article. It should be merged. Quake1234 (talk) 15:34, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done I merged it. 124.35.54.170 (talk) 07:30, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New (mostly unconfirmed) death toll?

Some newer Japanese sources are reporting that the death toll has exceeded 300, with a massive rise in disaster related deaths. Some sources also report that as many as over 220 disaster-related deaths may be unconfirmed, including 40 in Noto town, where only nine direct deaths occurred. I was thinking of merging these unconfirmed indirect deaths with the direct ones (for example, upgrading Noto town's death toll to 49), but that could easily be seen as WP:OR.

Additionally, the latest damage and casualty report from the Ishikawa Prefectural government reports the current toll of 260 fatalities, including 30 confirmed disaster-related deaths.

I'm calling out to fellow frequent editors of this page, including @Dora the Axe-plorer, @Borgenland and @Filipinohere. Quake1234 (talk) 11:38, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not proficient in Japanese so couldn't fully judge. But appears that a lot of the extra deaths appear to have been secondary. The question is if there is a precedent at least in Japanese quake articles to include them. Borgenland (talk) 12:26, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've looked through the sources at a glance, they don't seem to be in conflict with the last report from Ishikawa Prefectural. Note that the news report says the death toll was projected to reach 300; it has not officially been recognised per all the sources I've come across says the official toll is 260 including 30 indirect deaths.

The sum of 300 includes the official figure + 18 new deaths after meeting on 25 June + 22 new deaths after meeting in May. We can include this but the information must be clarified properly Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 15:09, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Quake1234 Please read through the references because the latest edits were very careless and misleading. Please do not rush through and always cross-reference. I still don't understand how you tally the figures to over 500 Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 14:49, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
