Upgrade, including change of citation style

I have some new templates for citing earthquake sources ({{Cite isc}}, {{Cite anss}}), and propose to try them out here. Implicit in this is change of citation style from "named-refs" to short-cites ("shortened citations"). Any objections? ~ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 20:04, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There being no objections, I boldly proceeded. Found more sources, replaced some dead sources, and added two paragraphs on the scientific aspects. Also more detail on why this quake was so deadly. (It turns out this quake is actually quite interesting, despite the complete non-mention of such details in the previous version.) I have not fixed all of the deficiencies, as 1) that was not my intent, and 2) they are a reminder of where all earthquake articles need improvement. ~ J.
