It is a really good idea to be looking more into the tsunami aspect of the earthquake as the article does not go over that at all. That is a really good start. I think the information that you have for tectonic setting and tsunami formulation is very good and doesn't need much done to it. For the section just labeled tsunami, I feel it can be broken down into two categories and expanded on greatly. I would break it into the description of the tsunami and the effects of the tsunami. In the description of the tsunami, you could describe the characteristics of the tsunami such as the magnitude, height of waves, etc. Then in the effects of the tsunami, you could put the casualties, injuries, any damaged homes or building, and cost of damage. This way you are diving deeper into these two categories as they are very important aspects of a natural disaster. I think by adding those four sections to the pre-existing article you will add a lot more depth and understanding to the event.

The only other change I could find is to add more to the earthquake section that already exists on the article. It seems as if you are more focused on adding a whole new section to the article which is good, but the article could also use some expansion on the pre-existing information as well. The earthquake section is very short and doesn't go into great detail about the earthquake. I also feel that you could talk about the damages and casualties more as well. The article already includes the numbers, but not the monetary value of the damages. This is a good way to gauge how much damage the disaster did and I feel it is important to add into the article. If you wanted to you could also add how it affected the people of southern Peru, but this isn't necessary since you are already adding the whole new section about the tsunami. If you do decide to add it, I feel like it would add some much needed information to the article as it doesn't describe the affect on the people other than injuries or casualties.
