Do we need to cite Jack London?
editWith all due respect to the great writer, from the current perspective the sentence "Not in history has a modern imperial city been so completely destroyed." is ungrammatical. But if we change it to "Never in history has (...)", it would no longer be a quote. So, my proposal is to reduce the caption to "1906 San Francisco earthquake". 85.193.250.200 (talk) 16:28, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
