1940 El Centro earthquake, 1979 Imperial Valley earthquake
[edit]- ... that comparison between the displacement patterns along the Imperial Fault during the 1940 El Centro and 1979 Imperial Valley earthquakes show that fault slips occurred in at least two discrete 'patches'?

- Comment: (first time nominating), Mikenorton is the regular DYK contributor & started the expansion on the 1940 article with DYK in mind. The 1979 Imperial Valley earthquake article is new.

Both articles are new enough, long enough, have a cited hook and are well sourced. I see no evidence of close paraphrasing. A couple of comments:
- The lead sentence of 1979 Imperial Valley earthquake could usefully mention the location of Imperial Valley.
Done — I have added detail to help readers visualize where the Imperial Valley is located. Dawnseeker2000 03:58, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
- The hook might be missing the word "occurred". Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:39, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
- Done — I had to skim the source material for this & I think I have tweaked the hook to read correctly. Dawnseeker2000 03:58, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
- Ready to go then. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:27, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
