Corrections
Pages here are written by software from public sources, and software makes mistakes. These are the ones a reader could have taken for true.
One earthquake, several pages
About a third of the magnitude 6 and stronger earthquakes of the previous 30 days had two or three pages, because agencies publish the same shock with slightly different times and places. We merged 54 duplicate pages into the page of their earthquake and changed the rule that recognises the same shock across agencies.
First estimates left standing
Earthquake pages built from the first estimate of a tsunami warning centre kept that magnitude after USGS had revised it: the Vanuatu earthquake of 24 October read M 7.2 against a revised M 6.9. We repaired 30 of them, and a first estimate now follows the USGS event it belongs to.
Satellite detections called wildfires
Heat seen by satellite was presented as a wildfire, and rated critical: 306 of the 312 critical events on the site at that moment. A satellite cannot tell a wildfire from a controlled burn or an industrial flame. Those records are now named as detections and banded by their measured size, and the page says what the satellite can and cannot see.
A reading from a broken clock
A radiation reading dated 2080 by a station with a broken clock was shown as an event, with its alarming label on the page and on its image. The record was withdrawn, and a withdrawn record no longer repeats its claim anywhere.
