4/3 Assignment - Great notes in your sandbox!EKM2018 (talk) 17:12, 9 April 2018 (UTC) 4/7 Assignment - Nice job getting the trainings done on time and adding the citations! Multiple gets you extra credit! EKM2018 (talk) 17:12, 9 April 2018 (UTC) 4/10 Assignment - You picked a topic but didn't write anything in your sandbox about it! (-2 points) Do you have any ideas on sources, what you will contribute, what it needs? These are important things to think about when planning the page you will add to! EKM2018 (talk) 17:27, 17 April 2018 (UTC) 4/21 Assignment - 6 sources with a fact from each, however, there are likely several other sources you could find that are not from journal articles. Nice job posting on the page, but I would hold of posting more content until you figure out your sections (see note below). Use your sandbox to develop your draft as there will likely be more changes to come! (10 points) EKM2018 (talk) 20:44, 29 April 2018 (UTC) 4/28 Assignment - Following Will's comments, you should make an outline of the specific sections that you are going to try to address. This can be done based on the sources you find or will help you figure out what sort of information you need - likely they go hand in hand. Also a great way to get away from purely journal articles. (Will be graded with 5/5 Assignment Draft part 2) EKM2018 (talk) 20:44, 29 April 2018 (UTC) 5/1 Presentation Feedback - Make sure you continue to be clear about the difference between inter and intra. Glad you made this a big point in your presentation. Are you sure intraplate earthquakes only happen at depth? Other examples include outer rise earthquake, overriding crustal earthquakes, faulting within the continental interior, etc. You might not need to list all of this since you are focusing on INTER, BUT I think it's really important not to oversimplify when you talk about their differences. Make sure you give a range of examples and you can reference a lot of different pages. Also, do interpolate earthquakes only occur at subduction zone interface? Make sure you give other examples and don't oversimplify here too. All plate boundaries could have hypothetically have interplate earthquakes right? Transform faults, normal faults. Are we always certain they occurring RIGHT on the interface? Not all interplate earthquakes have tremor or precursory signals. A great example of an interplate earthquake is a megathrust event, and that would give you a lot of events to reference that might not explicitly call themselves "interplate" - look up plate boundary earthquakes. Nice work! Keep it up! EKM2018 (talk) 16:38, 3 May 2018 (UTC) 5/5 Assignment - First Draft Edits! Nice work with starting this. I think you could add more detail and work on the areas of over simplification. I think you really need to understand and communicate the basics behind this topic before you go into the more complex explanations. There area also a LOT of examples of these events you can use. EKM2018 (talk) 06:18, 9 May 2018 (UTC) 5/26 Assignment - Second Draft Edits - Left you a lot of comments and bolded edits and strikethrough things you could remove for conciseness. Look at edits for organization and over simplifications so that it flows and is clear. The last section needs help with the USGS earthquake search. Don't forget you NEED a figure - I would do a map of plate boundaries and potentially a map of earthquakes. You could generate that in USGS search maybe? You are close and once you do these edits I think you will have a good page! This was a big topic so I commend you for the effort of taking it on! Please let me know if you have any more questions to help you get this done! EKM2018 (talk) 18:43, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

Sources Feedback
This is a great topic and one that could have a very extensive article. All the references are good and you have extracted a key point from each. It seems like you have material for sections comparing intraplate and interplate earthquakes (Bouchon et al., Scholtz et al.) and on stress drops (all the others except Wang et al.). Stress drops are interesting because it is very hard to measure stresses in the earth so it is challenging to understand the forces (stress = force/area) driving plate motions. It strikes me that you could have sections on interplate earthquakes at the 3+ types of plate boundaries, extensional, collision, transform with possible subsections on whether the boundaries involve ocean or continental plates or both. For example for ocean spreading centers there is a reasonable review that also covers oceanic transforms Rundquist, D. V., & Sobolev, P. O. (2002). Seismicity of mid-oceanic ridges and its geodynamic implications: a review. Earth-Science Reviews, 58(1-2), 143-161. I can help you find resources for other plate boundaries too. Since this is a broad topic, I think there are a lot of opportunities to link to other Wikipedia articles (e.g., those on the various types of plate boundary). In terms of general articles, you might look at the USGS earthquake hazards program website https://earthquake.usgs.gov/learn/topics/ and also the IRIS education web site https://www.iris.edu/hq/programs/epo. Scientific American also has a lot on earthquakes https://www.scientificamerican.com/report/earthquake-guide/ William Wilcock (talk) 16:33, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Peer Review (by Jalyn Buckley)
Ben - Great job on your first draft; the content is clear and the structure is easy to follow!

Some Suggestions/Questions to Consider:
 * Under the "Mechanics" section, it might be useful to provide links to the different plate boundaries (transform, divergent, and convergent plat boundaries)
 * Is the "Differentiation" section explaining what sets interplate earthquakes apart from other types of earthquakes?
 * Perhaps the "Effects of Interplate Earthquakes" could be changed to the "Impact of Interplate Earthquakes." As of now it reads the "Effects of Interplate Earthquakes" are "Interplate Earthquake Events"

Instructor Review 5/20
This article is looking good. There are a few things I think you should change William Wilcock (talk) 16:46, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
 * The third paragraph of the opening section "Interplate earthquakes differ from intraplate earthquakes ..." should be merged into the Differentiation section.  The is a lot of overlap in stress drop between interplate and intraplate earthquakes so this is not a fundamental difference and thus I do not think it deserves highlighting early.  It fits well into the differentiation section
 * You absolutely need to update your table of Major Interplate Earthquake Events since the 4 your list are neither particularly major or recent. Since most earthquakes are interplate earthquakes, there are plenty to chose from in the past decade.  I would also change the title of the table to Examples of Major Interplate Earthquake Events.  Wikipedia has a page that lists earthquakes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_earthquakes) with a subpage for those in the 21st century (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_21st-century_earthquakes).  I would suggest selecting a few examples from this current decade.
 * Are there any other Subjects that belong in "Effects of Interplate earthquakes"? - I am not sure that "Interplate Earthquake Events" really falls under this category. Depending on how you define it, you could come up with a lot of effects (e.g., tsunamis, coastal subsidence at subduction zones, formation of an axial valley at slow spreading ridges) so perhaps just make Subduction Erosion and Interplate Earthquake Events their own major headings.
 * You need to add more cross-linking to other Wikipedia pages (e.g., subduction erosion, various plate boundary types, various fault types, earthquakes in your table) - basically search for Wikipedia pages on terms on topics you cover and cite them
 * Something is wrong with your reference list in that the numbers in square brackets in your text (e.g., [1]) do not appear in the list of references. The easiest way to figure this out would be to look at an article where they do (e.g., the current interplate earthquake page).
 * Do you have plans for a figure? I cannot think of obvious ones to include.

Peer Review
Nice flow overall. Very detailed. I would take a look at some of the citations and how you could make use one at the end of the paragraph instead of the using the same reference twice in a row. Double check where you can link certain words and how many times you are suppose to do that. Beauh2 (talk) 16:47, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

Instructor Review (5/30)
This reads very well


 * Please add more links to other wikipedia pages and also make sure the links are present for the first usage of the term. In the first section very quickly I saw the following (not a complete list)
 * Convergent boundary
 * subduction
 * thrust/reverse faulting
 * divergent boundary
 * rift zone
 * normal faulting
 * interplate earthquakes
 * tectonic plate (for plate)
 * fault
 * There are many more in other sections


 * I agree with Emma that you should definitely update the table to show more significant earthquakes


 * This is ready to move to the mainspace
