GA[edit]

I'm not going to actually do an official review because I don't do much with earthquake articles and I don't know if there are certain standards, etc., but I will say this article is awfully short for a GA (I imagine...again, I won't review it because I don't want to disqualify it and then find out that all earthquake GAs are like this). ~~I would suggest going for DYK while you still can, and I'm going to list it at T:TDYK now.~~ —Politizer ^talk/_contribs 03:57, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, I just noticed that EOTW already nominated it! —Politizer ^talk/_contribs 03:59, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Inversion"[edit]

I can't figure out which (if any) definition of inversion on Wiktionary is the one appropriate to the context where "inversion" is used here. I figured out how to make anchors in articles (both here and wikt), so if someone can take a look and let me know which definition is the right one, then I can make the instance of "inversion" here link directly to it.
