Evaluate the drafted changes
The draft ideas that were proposed were all good ones and could definitely add to the article but rather than adding to existing headings maybe try to add a new section. One idea could be doing a section about the origin of this exact earthquake, I noticed while reading the article that there is not much information on the type of fault boundary, which plates were involved, what movement of the plates caused the earthquake itself, etc... After a little bit of research I also found that South Carolina is in the middle of the North American Plate and obviously there is not a whole lot of activity in the middle of a plate so maybe adding to the portion about the earthquake being an "intraplate earthquake" and talk about how rare those are and maybe some history on them and how they arise. Here is a possible link that could help if you choose to go down the track of intraplate earthquakes https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/earthquakes/.

Response to draft changes
Firstly, I would like to thank you for not just writing a sentence like most of the other evaluations of our project that I read so thank you. I agree with you that we should try to add another section because we would only be adding a couple if sentences to the sections already there. I thank you for the suggestion of researching the type of plate and boundary to see what caused the earthquake and also how likely another one of that magnitude to happen along the north American plate.
