I'll take this one. Dawnseeker2000 04:11, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So far I've just been making minor changes to the text and some formatting. The formatting changes are obviously not necessary to qualify for GA; I think some of the text changes were though. The repetitive use of "earthquake", "rupture", and "subduction zone" made for some not-so-smooth reading. I don't think I've altered what you were trying to say too much, but if I did disturb your ideas and how you wanted them ordered, you should definitely modify it to sound the way you intended.

I have yet to look at any of the sources, and it's 10 pm here, so I may or may not get a start on that. So we may get it done either tonight or tomorrow. Dawnseeker2000 05:17, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Dora, do you mind if I take a shot at rewriting and possibly moving these couple of sentences: Due to the buoyancy of the Carnegie Ridge, it decreases the angle of which the Nazca Plate subducts. As a result, the portion of the trench is shallower and the coastline is raised. The northern flank also acts as a barrier, preventing seismic ruptures to propagate beyond, as observed during the 1906 and 1942 events which ceased in this area. Since no ruptures can extend past the ridge, this section of the subduction zone experiences fewer tsunamis. Dawnseeker2000 06:02, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. I havent found a better way to reword it so that'll be great Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 13:45, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
Having rewritten those few sentences seems to have taken care any potential issues here. I'm working on some layout improvements.
It is factually accurate and verifiable, as shown by a source spot-check.
a (reference section): b (inline citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
