 * Short but sweet! Overall a great article—sources are RS, perfect sections, formatting, infobox, navboxes and cats. However, before I can pass this article I just have a few concerns with the prose and formatting of the refs for which I have left some comments below.  𓃦 LunaEatsTuna  (💬) 21:59, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi @LunaEatsTuna, I've addressed the prose issues; the only one I left out is "The Windy Point Bridge", similar to "The California Aqueduct", it I don't see an issue with it. I'm can only give full dates to a limited number of references; not all are available except the year. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 05:41, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Fair enough; thank you for informing me. As for the reference dates that is totally acceptable if you cannot find their exact dates; really no need to worry about that! :) I am satisfied with these changes and I am now happy to pass this article for GA status. Congrats on another GA! Hope to see more of your work.  𓃦 LunaEatsTuna  (💬) 05:59, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Copyvio check
Earwig does not show anything of concern.

Refs
Citations are all RS and confirm the information presented in the article.

Conveniently for me, there are only nine references and all are available online, so I was able to verify each of them.

Text and refs

 * "the length of California, where much of its length the fault is clearly identifiable" – missing a word?
 * "The Windy Point Bridge was displaced on the" – is the necessary for referring to this bridge? (I speak British English so let me know if this is the standard elsewhere); speaking of:
 * "The Windy Point Bridge was displaced on the I-10 northwest of Palm Springs and was considered major damage." – this sentence reads awkwardly to me; is it really necessary to note that this was considered major damage?
 * "the California Division of Mines and Geology, and a private company." – I reckon the name of said company is relevant. Do the sources say what it is called?
 * Add template:Use mdy dates and template:Use X English under the short description.
 * Add WP:ALT text to the image.
 * Some of the refs to journals have full dates whilst others have only years; it is generally okay for books to have only years, but other citation templates should remain consistent.
