• Thanks for the changes! My concerns have been addressed and I am now happy to pass this article for GA status. My issue regarding the page numbering is a minor one and should be a quick and easy fix. 𓃦LunaEatsTuna (💬) 03:17, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Earwig says good to go.

Prose

• Do the sources say whether the destroyed towns were in the same province? Asking because of they were then it would be helpful to readers to note this given that none of the towns appear to have Wikipedia entries.

• The sources don't mention the province unfortunately. SamBroGaming (talk) 00:33, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

• That is okay than.

• "Other large earthquakes had struck Mongolia in the past half century, including" – it may help some readers to give a criteria for 'large,' i.e. "Other earthquakes measuring over Mw 8.0 had struck Mongolia […]"

• Fixed. SamBroGaming (talk) 00:33, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

• Both "December 4th, 1957" and "April 7th in 1958" need to be fixed per MOS:DATE.

• Addressed. SamBroGaming (talk) 00:33, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

• The sentence "world's best preserved surface rupture of a great earthquake" has a by whom template that needs to be addressed.

• Clarified. SamBroGaming (talk) 00:33, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

• "another large earthquake measuring M 6.8 event, located in the epicentral region." – sentence appears to be missing a word or two?

• Woops fixed. SamBroGaming (talk) 00:33, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

• "Despite attaining the maximum value on the MMI scale" – as this is the scale's first mention in the body of the article, restate the value and add a non-abbreviated and wikilinked Modified Mercalli intensity scale.

• Done. SamBroGaming (talk) 00:33, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

• "In the Bitüüt valley" – if known, I would add what province the valley is located in so that readers could be given more context to better understand its whereabouts.

• Unfortunately not mentioned, and even searching it up doesn't net any useful results. SamBroGaming (talk) 00:33, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

• Oh well.

• Add template:Use mdy dates and template:Use X English (I presume American?) under the short description.

• Done. SamBroGaming (talk) 00:33, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

Refs and notes

The sources are all RS and cited appropriately—they support the article's content. Notes good.

• I would add page numbers to the citations for the convenience of readers. This may take some time but I reckon it will really benefit the article.

• Will do. SamBroGaming (talk) 00:33, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

• Ref 3 needs more info, like ref 18.

• What info are they missing for me to add? SamBroGaming (talk) 00:33, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

• @SamBroGaming: Sorry for not specifying—I meant a retrieval date.
