2010 Pichilemu earthquake
Could it be listed? --Diego Grez (talk) 21:06, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
 * It's a GA, but reading the article, it seems to be a minor quake. There were few casualties, no tsunami, and no dollar amount of damages listed, so it doesn't look like a good candidate.  howcheng  {chat} 16:47, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Edit request on 10 March 2013
Perhaps a blurb for Royal Assent should be created as there is this blurb which has huge effect in the Commonwealth of Nations:"1708 – Queen Anne withholds Royal Assent from the Scottish Militia Bill, the last time a British monarch vetoes legislation."

I was thinking this would only go into the eligible list, and posted up say in 2018. Royal Assent is an FA article, and Queen Anne is a GA article.
