Time of the first Earthquake

edit

In the article it is written: 16:53 Iran Standard Time (UTC+03:30).

Iran has Daylight saving time:Iran_Standard_Time, It uses UTC+4:30.

Number of casualties

edit

The introductory paragraph talked of some 250 casualties. This seemed to fit initial media reports. However, the paragraph headed "Aftershocks" referred to 50,000 dead. I believe this figure refers to the previous, more catastrophic event in 1990, but if so the sentence needs correcting t6o make this clear. Rif Winfield (talk) 10:43, 12 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Sentence has been deleted. All is clear. InedibleHulk (talk) 00:23, 13 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

US and Vatican reaction translations

edit

Could use some work, if we need a reaction section at all. An English quote should be verbatim. InedibleHulk (talk) 22:48, 12 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

date format

edit

I think date format in the text and sources should follow the same style, it was began as Month Day Year. Egeymi (talk) 14:56, 13 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Does Iran use the Gregorian calendar at all? If so, we should follow their format. If not, yeah, whatever is used first. Personally, I prefer M-D-Y. InedibleHulk (talk) 16:02, 13 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
Honestly, I do not know which calendar Iran uses. But I am aware that the date format you preferred, M D Y, is used first. Thanks, Egeymi (talk) 16:17, 13 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
Iran officially and primarily uses the Solar Hijri. This is clearly not appropriate for an English encyclopedia. M-D-Y it is, then, until/if someone can show why it should be otherwise. InedibleHulk (talk) 16:31, 13 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
