Some good content but the lack of inline citations lets it down. violet/riga (t) 14:08, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Coverage and factuality: 5
Good coverage of the event, but lacks adequate coverage of the aftermath. Also lacks citations and references.
  • Writing style: 5
Contains odd phrases, potentially problematic text ("which amounted to a coup" without citation) and self-reference to the fact this is an article. ("Although one might generally think that there was some sporadic success at giving early warning, it would be best to read the section on earthquake prediction, for further information.")
  • Structure: 8
Odd subheader under early warnings. Uninformative image used. Table puts quake in perspective. Well linked to.
  • Aesthetics: 5
Needs map and better images.
  • Overall: 6
Needs sources and better images. - Mgm|(talk) 10:29, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
