Title

[edit]

Can someone please fix the name of the article so it’s correct? It should be “Amazonas,” not “Amazonias.” Thanks. Karigan220 (talk) 15:24, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A bigger problem is that the epicentre is in Loreto, not Amazonas, although the high intensity covers a broad area, in keeping with its focal depth. We have a similar earthquake called the 2005 Northern Peru earthquake, so perhaps we could move it to 2021 Northern Peru earthquake. Mikenorton (talk) 18:42, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The earthquake affected both Northern Peru and Ecuador and the epicenter was located nearby the Peru-Ecuador border and calling the article with a name of such a vague description on where specifically the epicenter was annoys me the most. Moctiwiki (talk) 01:52, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Intensity

[edit]

Someone changed the intensity provided by the Peru government from VII to VIII by using the USGS ShakeMap...I think it's better to use the Peru government's information. Any changes to VIII should be reverted. --Dora the Axe-plorer (Nopen't) 22:29, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

...without a reliable and credible reference. --Dora the Axe-plorer (Nopen't) 13:21, 29 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
