replies: text: Interestingly the BBC show "10 things you didn't know about earthquakes" the 9th section supports the there was a model that predicted the izmit quake. Not sure how to cite TV shows, it says 'Jeffrey King and his group of scientists' built the 'working' stress model of the North Anatolian fault. So presumable a google scholar search should find the actual data.EdwardLane (talk) 10:50, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

text: A TV show is not a sufficient reference for this sort of assertion. If the earthquake was "predicted" by credible scientists, there will be at least one paper on the topic in the scientific literature. Most of the work I have seen on the Anatolian fault did not "predict" particular earthquakes so much as map which segments were loaded by previous earthquakes, making them statistically more likely to slip. This level of statistical knowledge helps the insurance actuaries and maybe even the city planners, but is not the kind of temporally specific projection the public expects when you use the word "prediction". Some older (1990's) papers are available on the USGS website. Elriana (talk) 21:10, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: this looks interesting - written in 1997 (so before the 1999 quake) here's a quote from the abstract  it was in the links I found in this google scholar search. I tried searching under the name 'jeffery king' per the tv show but no info there. EdwardLane (talk) 22:08, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

Says...
The North Anatolian Fault (NAF) (Turkish: Kuzey Anadolu Fay Hattı) is ... in northern Anatolia which runs along the transform boundary between ...
when the NAF is in itself the transform boundary between... it doesn't run through other boundary, IT IS the boundary!!!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.174.5.254 (talk) 18:06, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
