What is an aftershock?
[edit]Currently the article asserts:
- Some records state that another similar earthquake occurred in August 6, 1303 which may have been an aftershock of the Hongdong earthquake.[1] Once again, Taiyuan and Pingyang suffered massive damage along with the area surrounding the temple of Emperor Yao, and over 100,000 people were said to have died. However, rebuilding had been largely completed within nine months.
How can an aftershock from a September 25 earthquake have occurred on August 6, 50 days earlier? It seems more likely that the 1303 Crete Earthquake (August 8, 1303) was an "aftershock" of the August 6 "similar earthquake", than that the text of the present article is reliable, and I find no support for this assertion in the portion I was able to view of the cited text, but even if it does, the dates alone make this assertion dubious, at best. 68.113.225.4 (talk) 02:18, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
- I agree with your views. The reference has an unsourced quote which makes no sense given the scale of the damage caused by the Hongdong earthquake. As no-one has made any effort to respond to your concerns over the last 15 months, I think it is time to delete the offending section. Chewings72 (talk) 09:59, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
