The lead section was lacking information. Although it introduced the 1999 Izmit earthquake, information such as more areas affected and the hypocenter of the earthquake should be included. There was no a lot of content being added to the article. However, the information being added to the earthquake section helps the audience understand the depth of the earthquake and how the plates moved in order to cause the earthquake. Additional information that could be added is explaining what right-lateral offsets are in the earthquake section. The content being added did not create an bias, which is better for informational articles. The source linked in the "Article Draft" is a great source. The source was published a year after the earthquake, allowing for the information to be current, pertaining to the time of the earthquake, and thorough. Also, the information in the article is very specific and interesting, which will definitely benefit the article. The added information can definitely be split into more specific categories as earthquake history. More images can be added to the article is show a visual of the impacts and how the earthquake affected different areas of the region. The content being added includes great information. However, more information is needed in order to make the contributions beneficial to the article.

Response to Peer Review - Bridget McElwee
I agree that the lead needs editing, so I will make sure to do that. I will also add information about what right-lateral offsets are, unless there is an article on it, I will just insert that- something to look into. Thanks for putting time into your review, it provides helpful insight as to where my draft needs help.
