message: I believe the more appropriate title is Hawke's Bay Earthquake. Any objection to changing it to this. Nurg 06:43, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: While '"Napier earthquake" 1931' gets more Google hits than '"Hawke's Bay Earthquake" 1931', I agree the latter name makes more sense. The town centre of Hastings was also destroyed by the earthquake. I think the last word should be lower case, and it should include the date, since there have been very many Hawke's Bay earthquakes. The 1855 one was larger than this. I'll rename it now.-gadfium 18:16, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

text: Google hits still favours "Napier earthquake", but the major article in Te Ara: The Encyclopedia of New Zealand is The 1931 Hawke’s Bay earthquake (although other references include In the Napier earthquake. I am happy with either name, but I do believe that "Hawke's Bay" is more inclusive.-gadfium 06:53, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think consistency with other sources is more important than inclusiveness. For instance, we have the 1855 Wairarapa earthquake, not the 1855 lower North Island earthquake. -- Avenue (talk) 16:29, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

message: What about the fire that was caused by the earthquake? This was not included but it is the reason why so many lives were lost in Napier because the fire department had lost their water supply.

:The fires caused by the earthquake are the subject of the third and fourth paragraphs under the "Effects of the earthquake" section. If you think they should be expanded, feel free to do so.- gadfium 18:23, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Fire

message: Many people lost their homes due to the earthquake itself and also uncontrollable fires triggered by the earthquake. Most homes lacked water, sewerage, electricity and chimneys so several people who were afraid to enter their homes camped in their gardens, on road-sides, at Nelson Park or on the Marine Parade Beach. Frequent aftershocks, the most powerful at 7.3 on the Richter scale, made most people fear more severe earthquakes. There were also difficulties with transport caused by large breaks in the road and collapsed bridges. The entire population of the Hawke’s Bay area was disrupted in some way.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.152.235.117 (talk) 05:18, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
