Evaluate the drafted changes
In the "lead" section, there is a quote from The Associate Press that is long and not cited correctly (in the Wikipedia citation). Quotes should only be used when the information is presented in a way that is integral to understanding the concepts, but this information could be put in their own words. There are some minor typos in the lead as well ("other" should be others in sentence one, "therefore" is spelled wrong in the second to last sentence). This lead section does a good job of explaining the main points of the event. The "tectonic settings" section was a good addition to the original article and has good citations throughout. The "intensity" section also was a good addition as it helped break apart the original lead section to add more length to the article. The last two sentences restate information that is already stated in the beginning of the intensity section, and may need to be removed. This draft is overall written well with some minor changes that may need to be made to fix the large quote and possibly deleting redundant information.
