- I added a couple of photos; one was already in WikiMedia the other showing the damage to Mission Santa Barbara is from Online Archive of California which has a bunch more images from the event. I also added a bit of text and a few additional references to the article. I saw another editor at work, adding project tags and so on. The page looks really good and I enjoyed reading it. And no, I didn't know that is why Santa Barbara is all Spanish Colonial Revival style !! Did you know that the dam which burst in this quake is the only dam in the U.S. to fail in an earthquake? It was one of those days !! Ellin Beltz (talk) 17:56, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
