[edit] major inconsistency

I just started the 1138 Aleppo earthquake article and according to the 2004 source I used, the 230,000 death toll figure is completely bogus. Can the USGS be that wrong and what should be done about it?
I updated some information according to 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. Although in my opinion, the number of fatalities and the magnitude of earthquake provided by United States Geological Survey is seemed to be not very reliable, I know that the 300,000 fatalities and the 9.31 magnitude are old numbers. Therefore, I decided to change the number and the rank for consistency. If anybody feels that my action is wrong, please say so here... QQ (talk) 19:32, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
