Article evaluation

After carefully reading the article, everything in the article is relevant to the article topic. This article contains a lot of links that direct you to other sites about the Hayward fault and I found that a bit distracting; however, these links are helpful in aiding the audience to better understand the article with a well-known example. All information is up to date, however, there is an image of a house sitting on the Calaveras Fault in 2003 that was demolished in 2009. An image of aseismic creep displacing a house that is still standing would be more beneficial to viewers. More images and diagrams could be added on structural damages created by aseismic creep and on how it is created. The article is also missing information on what causes aseismic creep. The article could also be improved by adding more recent information on aseismic creep and by better explaining the definition of aseismic creep by going into more depth. The little scientific information that is presented is clear, accurate, and without jargon. The article does a good job in linking to other Wikipedia articles for related topics such as the Hayward Fault, slow earthquake, and surface rupture.

Additionally, the article is neutral and there are no claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position. The underrated viewpoints of various cities where aseismic creep are located are not found within the article and would be a good addition.

The article does not have any references to check, but the external links all work properly and support the claims presented in the article. The facts within the article are not directly referenced with an appropriate/reliable citation in the reference area. The information comes from other related Wikipedia articles which are neutral sources.

There is currently one conversation going on behind the scenes in the article's talk page which talks about how someone has modified one external link on the article and they would like someone to review their edit. The article is part of WikiProject Earthquake (a project to systematically present information on earthquakes and related topics and was rated as Stub-Class on the project's quality scale and as Mid-importance on the projects importance scale. The article is also a part of WikiProject Geology (an attempt at creating an informative/ easy-to-use geology resource) and was rated as Stub-Class on the project's quality scale and as low-importance on the project's importance scale.
