Casualty numbers

There have been more recent reports suggesting that the death toll was closer to 50,000, and that the inflated initial reports were due to either incompetence (by journalists) or official exaggeration (in order to boost overseas aid). Why is there no reference to this? The stated death toll is clearly excessive.Royalcourtier (talk) 02:13, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia's "Demographics of Haiti" page shows not the slightest uptick in deaths in Haiti in 2010. It would be nice if one or the other (or both) of these pages were fixed.128.187.112.7 (talk) 22:14, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

the haiti earthquake had a death toll of 230000 not 160000 Luca micheal cunliffe (talk) 17:11, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. JTP ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:36, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Semi protected edit request

In the first paragraph, it says that Léogâne is approximately 25 kilometres from Port-au-prince, however a closer estimate is 30.Dragonballzeke (talk) 05:07, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've tweaked the wording slightly to make it clear that the epicentre was near Léogâne and about 25 km from Port-au-Prince. Mikenorton (talk) 10:42, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Humanitarian OpenStreetMap is looking for people who have been involved in the response to the 2010 Haiti earthquake

as per this message. I think contributing to the writing of this Wikipedia article or related wiki resources would qualify as involvement in that sense, and I would be most happy if some of those involved back then would hare their observations as requested. -- Daniel Mietchen (talk) 01:36, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Archive for Citation Not Working

(I'm new to Talk pages and Wikipedia editing in general so if I'm going about this wrong please just let me know.)

The following citation's archive is not working: Brannigan, Martha (15 January 2010). "Haiti seaport damage complicates relief efforts". The Miami Herald. Archived from the original on 23 September 2012. Retrieved 15 January 2010.

(It's currently citation number 57.)

This means I cannot validate the information nor show that it's a reliable source.
