User:Mcoope17/1138 Aleppo earthquake

Economic and Political Effects of the Aleppo Earthquake
- The city Citadel was deserted and damaged, and about 60% of the urban fabric was destroyed.

- The cost of reconstruction was high, and due to the scarce revenues there was not much reconstruction

- New systems for the administration of buildings was implemented; this was their attempt to attract people back to the city and make more money

Accuracy in Record Keeping
While causalities have been estimated at 230,000 it is unclear how accurate this estimate is. 16th century records point to a population of around 57,000 in Aleppo and there is belief the deaths from the 1138 earthquake may include totals from the later 1159 earthquake.

Article Evaluation
This article and the title are relevant to the topic, which is the Aleppo earthquake. It is written from a non-bias perspective, and it only discusses facts about the earthquake throughout the article. Although, not all of the claims have citations, and the Wikipedia page has a pop up box stating that sources need to be added to the article. The articles talk page did not have much on it, just a few correction to some of the information. One thing I did notice about the article is that it is very short, and does not have much information.
