1965 Olympia earthquake

 * ... that there were no aftershocks recorded after the 6.7 Mw 1965 Olympia earthquake?
 * Comment: The version before I started working on it was a severe copyvio that I have replaced from scratch - the earlier version that should be used for comparison is here

 * Reviewed Niels Wulfsberg, Tiden (newspaper) (one already used for 1892 Laguna Salada earthquake). Mikenorton (talk) 21:52, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, it was a blatant copy, and I believe most US states retain copyright. Enlargement amounts to >8x, which occurred in one day. Nominated on same day.
 * Prose is ~2600 chars
 * Article seems well balanced and neutral.
 * Referenced to reliable sources (strong number of .gov)


 * Other Suggestions:
 * We can probably change USD in the lead to $ as it is unequivocally in the US (may be nitpicky)
 * Optional second hook could relate to the creation of a seismic monitoring system. Both seem interesting enough, as most earthquakes have aftershocks.


 * I will continue reviewing later, as it is now 11 EST. Chris857 (talk) 04:07, 20 January 2012 (UTC)


 * References support article content.
 * I did not see any copyvio.
 * Hook is up to spec.
 * You reviewed another article.


 * Some questions:
 * Source 6 says the earthquake occurred around 7:30 am, but the article says 8:30. Which is correct? Also, 08:30 PDT (15:28 UTC) looks a bit weird as the times are two minutes different.
 * What are the units on the depth in the infobox? And could a ref be attached to it?


 * Once these are resolved, I will be happy to pass. Chris857 (talk) 15:36, 20 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Dollars fixed per WP:MOSNUM, the two minute difference resolved by rounding the UTC to the nearest minute and matching the PDT (the source says 'about 08:30'). Note that source #6 is using Pacific Standard Time, which is an hour earlier than PDT. Depth units added and a supporting ref. Mikenorton (talk) 17:37, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
