Talk:Supershear earthquake

This is not good. The references are abstracts that don't directly apply. The concepts are flawed. I do agree with these things that 'open' references are nearly impossible to get, but they should be written by someone familiar with the subject. It would be nice if somebody signed this with a comment. I do not intend to get into an article with a 'star' rating. Zeizmic (talk) 22:45, 12 February 2009 (UTC)


 * This is not a particularly helpful response. If you disagree with the article, then change it and improve it. Are you familiar with the subject? The article is rated as 'start' (not by me), which just means that it represents a beginning, not a finished product. Mikenorton (talk) 23:32, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Directivity
"Typically the focus lies towards one end of the slip surface and much of the propagation is unidirectional". It seems to me that this phrase strongly requires a citation to support it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Georgebaltz (talk • contribs) 16:33, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Failed to notice this comment, so I'm only addressing it now. I've added a source that supports it for large earthquakes at least - thanks for pointing that out. Mikenorton (talk) 13:37, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
