Signing articles

Hi - just a quick note - we don't sign articles (just comments on talk pages like this). The page history will show who has created and edited an article. Thanks.    7   ^{talk | Δ |}   04:29, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

Hi, just saying thanks for taking the time to help me improve my article (I was the IP, just forgot to log in). I only made this article because I was doing homework and couldn't find anything about earthquake hot spots, but thanks a lot for helping. : )

You are welcome, but I haven't done much. ;)

Actually, the more I look at it, the more I think the accepted term for this is Fault Zone which already exists and redirects to Fault (geology) which discusses large zones of earthquake activity. I think will propose it as a merge, and we can see what other editors think. Thanks, and happy editing.    7   ^{talk | Δ |}   05:55, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

I dont think so, as a fault is an area where tectonic plates meet and converge, diverge or transform, whereas an earthquake hot spot is where there are common earthquakes. Some fault zones do not produce many earthquakes at all, while others produce one a year. Still, it is worth discussion. If so, my geography textbook is wrong lol. its pretty old anyway Danyell123 (talk) 06:03, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

More likely that I'm wrong. It's happened once or twice before. Let's see what the geology experts think. I'm just concerned that as it stands now, with a single reference to a single event, it may not be "encyclopedic" enough to survive.    7   ^{talk | Δ |}   06:11, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
