The lead section currently reads,
It ruptured around 11:02 a.m., ...
Is "ruptured" the standard choice of wording used on earthquake articles to describe the time the earthquake began? If not, is there any reason why "ruptured" is used? IMHO, it simply doesn't seem to read well. Input on this point would be appreciated.
I would also congratulate the editors who are working to upgrade this article to featured status. The progress of late has been excellent.
A few questions as I've been going through this article:

@ Malleus Fatuorum || Not sure how there's two s. Maybe, they accidently forgot to clear the final s, and replace it with an apostrophe ( ' ) -- aliza! T/ C 14:07, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
Since I'm preparing to send this to FAC once more, I'll be listing concerns in an organized manner here.

Feedback on the prose, per this request. Sorry about the delay. Steve T • C:
And that's pretty much all I saw on my pass; it might seem like a long list, but you'll see that there's nothing major here. Any questions, comments (or rebuttals!) I'll keep this watchlisted for a bit. All the best, Steve T • C 07:54, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
I don't understand the existence of Note [C] which starts "This is not exactly correct..." The note does not help explain anything. Binksternet ( talk) 02:38, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
Can someone please specify the date this occurred, preferably in the introduction? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.178.55.161 ( talk) 03:34, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
Wait, you just promoted it, and it's already on the front page? Neat timing Cer :) Res Mar 17:46, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
During several automated bot runs the following external link was found to be unavailable. Please check if the link is in fact down and fix or remove it in that case!
