I think the above are all reasonable (I didn't write out all possible combinations of capital letters and spellings of Basel). Carcharoth 23:32, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

message: This German article, w:de:Walram von Thierstein seems to have something about the earthquake. Anyone want to request a translation and see what it says? Carcharoth 01:56, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The legend for short: two careless horsemen riding from Pfeffingen to Basel nearly hit an oncoming priest near Reinach, who warns them to be more careful, or else an Unglück (accident/disaster) will happen. They laugh at him and proceed, but Count Walram von Thierstein eventually regrets and returns to apologize when, while being on open field, the quake sets in. He is horrified to see the castles of Pfeffingen, Reichenstein, Birseck und Dorneck crumble to dust. His Burg Pfeffingen is damaged, but his family alive. Ritter von Bärenfels, on the other hand, just was under the Basel city gate when the Earthquake set in and was killed, as would have had von Thierstein. He set up the cross at the road near Reinach to commemorate, which was rebuild and moved since. -- Matthead discuß!     O       13:38, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  One wonders if this could be true at all, given that the quake happened at 22:00 in mid-October. Pretty dark at the time, hard to imagine someone could see four castle at once unless under full moon and clear sky. Has anyone a Moon almanach for Julian calendar period, or is willing to check distances in Google Earth? :-)  -- Matthead discuß!     O       13:49, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Great story! Thanks. Not sure how to put this in the article. Would it be sufficient to quote the source given in the German article, or is it best to try and find an English source. Must also remember to add more about the damage to castles and the damage to Basel cathedral. As for whether it is true or not, well, probably not, but just call it a story rather than a historical fact. Carcharoth 13:52, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Mentions Thierstein, but also crashes my browser. Carcharoth 13:59, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Oops. That's already in the article. The "Lambert J., Winter T., Dewez T. J. B. et P. Sabourault (2005). New hypotheses on the maximum damage area of the 1356 Basel earthquake (Switzerland), Quaternary Science Reviews, 24, pp. 383–401." one - though having this link is good. I'll pop it in there.

thread_title: Survey - in support of the move

message: #Oppose as above; this is overspecification. Basel earthquake would be equally distinctive, is easier to link, and will presumably remain a redirect. I do not follow the claim about historical events in general; we have Battle of Gettysburg, not 1863 Battle of Gettysburg. The literature as cited here seems to vary.

thread_title: Survey - in opposition to the move

message: The article states: "The epicentre was in Germany, in the Upper Rhine valley (Rhine rift) between Waldkirch and St. Peter in Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald." The German Wikipedia and some other sources indicate, that the epicentre was located south of Basel, close to  Reinach, Basel-Country, and not some 50 miles north of Basel. Could you plse doublecheck? Rgds --Boobarkee (talk) 07:25, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The same epicenter location is in the Earthquakes in Germany summary and also in the Upper Rhine Plain Seismic activity section.  Citation needed has been added to the text in this article.  If the location should be S of Basel, the Category:Earthquakes in Germany should be reconsidered for this article.   SBaker43 (talk) 10:50, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The epicentre to the south of Basel, near Aesch is also in the infobox and therefore on the location map. The best reference for this is probably the An earthquake catalogue for central, northern and northwestern Europe based on Mw magnitudes, this is also very similar to the NGDC catalogue and the Utsu catalogue. The description of the epicentral location needs to be changed unless a better ref is found, although that's unlikely I think. Mikenorton (talk) 19:42, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
