Hiya, there's a ton of information, which I think is great but I think some things are getting lost... I think more weight should be given to the difficulty of aiding Syrians because of the sanctions/the way the UN is set up -- and the jurisdictional/ethical issues that arose from aiding the rebels in Syria. I think that will be an enduring problem that will be discussed years from now. Peanut Gal·lery (talk) 17:07, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I know that because the earthquake was harsher in Turkey the title is written as 2023 Turkey-Syria earthquake. But isn't it better to write the country's names in alphabetical order? For example we have Afghanistan-Iran relations and Iran-Ukraine relations. Aminabzz (talk) 11:07, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The earthquake happened just 17 minutes after the start of main ceremony of 65th Annual Grammy Awards. So it's not unrealistic to say that many people were awake in their houses to watch the event. So is it okay to include this as well in the article? Aminabzz (talk) 23:50, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
