Talk:Foreshock

Purpose of the table
It's not clear to me how the table of examples is really helping. It's just becoming yet another list of earthquakes. Either it needs to be reorganised to provide examples from different settings - extensional, thrust and strike-slip and a few examples perhaps of the variation in amount of delay or it should go.

I also think that the number of columns is excessive and that some of them are irrelevant - does it matter whether the mainshock triggered a tsunami? or what the mainshock's maximum intensity was? wouldn't the intensity of the foreshock be of more interest?. I've started to make the table more concise, removing the deaths and tsunami columns and replacing them with "Type" and "Comments", moving citations to the latter.
