Prose

 * "Principally, the two main faults" – redundant—principally and main are synonyms.
 * "Segments of the SJFZ are given names, though are considered part of the same system of faults." – I am not sure that this sentence is entirely necessary; are named segments a rare occurrence within seismology?
 * "There were no foreshock activity recorded in the hours to weeks" – just checking, is were instead of was correct here? I am not familiar with earthquake terminology so I feel the need to ask.
 * "Severe damage was restricted to within a 2,331 km2 (900 sq mi), but" – missing either an area or radius here.
 * "Many people described a long rolling motion that lasted up to 30 seconds. Swimming pools sloshed about for 10 minutes" use numerical whilst "Forty-five minutes later, a magnitude 4.7 aftershock (MMI VI)" and "which was docked at Long Beach to rock for five minutes" spell it out. Both are usable per MOS:UNITNAMES, but only one should be used throughout the article in order to remain consistent.

Other
Recommend adding template:Use mdy dates and template:Use X English under short description.

Navboxes, templates, infobox and cats all good.


 * I have fixed or clarified the issues in prose, and I cleaned up the references as well. Some were under the wrong type of reference which was why they were so seemingly disorganized. That is taken care of now. Let me know if I missed anything. Thanks for reviewing this article :) SamBroGaming (talk) 03:15, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
