Some good aspects, but for such a major disaster I would hope to see a much fuller article. violet/riga (t) 13:56, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Review by DMurphy

 * Coverage and factuality: 2
 * No citations, and far too little content. Needs more info.


 * Writing style: 8
 * Pretty well-written, only minor mistakes


 * Structure: 6
 * Not enough info to really evaluate the structure, but considering the current content, it's got average structure. The outbound links could use a bit of work.

The pictures are small, but the captions are good. I'm not sure what's available in terms of pictures, but I'm guessing there's SOMETHING better out there. Really could use some diagrams to put the quake in perspective.
 * Aesthetics: 5
 * Overall: 5

Considering the amount of information presented, it's pretty good. The main drawback here is the lack of depth and sources. --DMurphy 04:02, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Revised review due to changes in image placement. -DMurphy 21:23, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Review by MacGyverMagic

 * Coverage and factuality: 4
 * Covers the basic details, but lacks in the department of the effects it had and has absolutely no citations.


 * Writing style: 9
 * Structure: 4
 * Good use of pictures, but the sectioning need improving (there's hardly any) and the article needs to be linked to from more places. Death tolls should be in tables.


 * Aesthetics: 4
 * Images well used, templates and tables are non-existent.


 * Overall: 5
 * Good start, but needs sources and better organization.
