Hi, thanks for your comment on the moment magnitude article. My guess (and it's just that) is that Mw persists in usage because all the other magnitude scales are denoted by a subscript and it's just used for clarification. If you would like to propose a change on the article talk page, that would be great or just go ahead, be bold and make the change yourself - adding supporting citations would be a real help as well. It's best to be prepared for your changes to be reverted by people that know far less than you about seismology, that's just the way it is here. If you're a seismologist we would be very happy to have you around improving our understanding on earthquake related articles - we had Max Wyss involved for a while, but he found it quite difficult to cope with the bureaucratic side of the encyclopedia. Whether you are only interested in improving the one article or would like to get further involved, happy to see anyone contributing in this subject area. Cheers, Mikenorton (talk) 23:30, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
