GA Review
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.''

Okay, since noone else is going to do it, I guess the job's up to me.

General remarks

 * This article looks too short for such a broad topic. Compare this to Tropical cyclone when it was GA'd Granted, that was missing a bunch of citations, but you get the point. I will not fail this GA specifically for that, but I sugesst you send this through peer review. Your friend Eddy of the wiki[citation needed] 21:15, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Alright. &mdash; §unday   b  20:13, 16 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Several citations are missing accessdate=s and work=s. I will try to fix some of these. Your friend Eddy of the wiki[citation needed] 21:20, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Ref no. 17 is dead. Your friend Eddy of the wiki[citation needed] 21:20, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Removed. Those references were there before I came, but I'll try and add some later today. &mdash; §unday   b  20:13, 16 September 2008 (UTC)


 * According to WP:LINKS:

"Some external links are welcome (see "What should be linked", below), but Wikipedia's purpose is not to include a comprehensive list of external links related to each topic. No page should be linked from a Wikipedia article unless its inclusion is justifiable."


 * The External links section, IMO, is too long. Remove the irrelevant ones or integrate them into the text. Your friend Eddy of the wiki[citation needed] 21:51, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Ref no. 23 is an unreliable, self published source. Your friend Eddy of the wiki[citation needed] 23:01, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I notice that there is such thing as an unnatural earthquake. Perhaps this could have a section? Your friend Eddy of the wiki[citation needed] 20:35, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Ref no. 1 has some info not present in the article. Please include it. Your friend Eddy of the wiki[citation needed] 20:39, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Lead

 * According to WP:LEAD, the lead should be two or three paragraphs. Please merge them. Your friend Eddy of the wiki[citation needed] 22:22, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. &mdash; §unday   b  00:44, 17 September 2008 (UTC)


 * "At the Earth's surface, earthquakes manifest themselves by a shaking and sometimes displacement of the ground." - sloppy. Your friend Eddy of the wiki[citation needed] 23:15, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Changed to At the Earth's surface, earthquakes manifest themselves by shaking and sometimes displacing the ground. &mdash; §unday   b  00:46, 17 September 2008 (UTC)


 * "Earthquakes are caused mostly by rupture of geological faults, huge amounts of gas migration, mainly methane deep within the earth, but also by volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts, and nuclear experiments." - unclear. Semicols may help, anmd that sentence could use a bit of a touch-up. Your friend Eddy of the wiki[citation needed] 20:31, 16 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Actually I'd like to see a source for the gas migration origin of earthquakes, apart from Leonid F. Khilyuk, who on a quick search around seems the only one pushing this, but maybe I'm wrong. Mikenorton (talk) 17:56, 18 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I can't find any real support in the literature for gas migration as a cause, so out it goes. Mikenorton (talk) 16:27, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

 * This paragraph needs to be broken into at least three paragraphs. Your friend Eddy of the wiki[citation needed] 20:41, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It could also use a good copyedit. A casual reader may not understand sections of the text. Your friend Eddy of the wiki [citation needed] 20:14, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
