Tampering of refs

User:Nkywvuong has been POV-pushing their nomenclature for Taiwan in violation of Common Name protocols and is even unscrupulous enough to tamper with a USGS reference title just to fit their agenda (see [[1]]) and rudely make an edit summary in a language that not everyone can understand (see [[2]]).

Requested move 3 April 2024

The request to rename this article to 2024 Hualien earthquake has been carried out.

If the page title has consensus, be sure to close this discussion using {{subst:RM top|'''page moved'''.}} and {{subst:RM bottom}} and remove the {{Requested move/dated|…}} tag, or replace it with the {{subst:Requested move/end|…}} tag.

2024 Taiwan earthquake → 2024 Hualien earthquake. For consistency with other Taiwan earthquake articles such as the 2018 Hualien earthquake. As far as the template box is concerned, this is the only earthquake in Taiwan that uses Taiwan. Borgenland (talk) 14:01, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Ythlev (talk) 15:27, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support. The Japanese, Vietnamese and Chinese language pages use this name as well. Luna Caoimhe (talk) 15:33, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Luna Caoimhe I created this article in Vietnamese. Ayane (meta | phab) 15:56, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Makes sense given the epicentre and the area of strongest shaking. Mikenorton (talk) 15:40, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. JaventheAldericky (talk) 16:33, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support There is a pretty good chance there will be another earthquake notable enough to get a page before the year ends considering Taiwan’s geography. QuarioQuario54321 (talk) 16:34, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support since about 85% of the impact is in Hualien Quake1234 (talk) 16:59, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom, and also per the region it occurred in and damages. Sadustu Tau (talk) 17:20, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom and QuarioQuario54321's argument YordleSquire (talk) 18:39, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support seems like a more suitable title. Alextejthompson (Ping me or leave a message on my talk page) 19:02, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support - per Mikenorton and QuarioQuario54321 ✈Imconfused3456✈_{certified nerd} 19:26, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy support and close ---Another Believer _(Talk) 20:40, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Following the other Taiwan's earthquake title and based on epicenter. Chongkian (talk) 21:27, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SNOW close and support. Too ambiguous as well

Support - WP:Accuracy. KyuuA4 (Talk:キュウ) 23:13, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support: The earthquake hit Hualien a huge damage, especially "Uranus Building" (天王星大樓). Sinsyuan✍️🌏🚀 00:44, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support: I think the article stands out on the category of taiwanese earthquakes, most of the articles in the category specify where the earthquake happened. Also, as KyuuA4 said, there is a essay about accuracy. DANGA14^talk 00:56, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. Also note that Google seems to use "Hualien City earthquake." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rusty4321 (talk • contribs) 01:24, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support: It makes sense to specify the area, especially since it seems that Taiwan is very seismically active and the other articles of earthquakes also use an area rather than country. Pacamah (talk) 01:57, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
