Over the next couple months, I will be updating this article and expanding upon it. Here is a list of sources that I will be using and what can be taken from each.

Peer Review

Nice flow

In the precursory tremors section you cite the reference twice for each sentence. You could probably just add the citation at the end of the paragraph.

Maybe double check how many times you have to hyperlink certain words.

I would try to bring everything together at the end and make a conclusions but overall really good article and well written. Beauh2 (talk) 01:52, 20 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
