In the Article 1933 Long Beach Earthquake, I noticed that this document is very short. There are only three sections with content including the introduction, Damage, and aftermath. I would like to add more content within these sections and add more sections, including consequential damage (fires, etc.), response efforts, construction after the damage, and history of earth quakes in that region. There is only one picture that shows the damage that the earthquake had on the city. I would like to add some before and after visuals for the reader to look at so they can better understand the damage and any other photos I can find of the incident that demonstrate the impact it had on the community.

Hi Kayla, What a great focus so far! I would start small. Like maybe make yourself smaller goals. Like start by enhancing just "damage" or "aftermath" and then move on, if time, to new sections. This will be the space for you to add those changes before your edits are moved to the mainspace in Wikipedia. So check back for feedback. I'm not sure you'll be able to use the Los Angeles Times article. Let's find out from the Wiki techs (who will be checking here).Springerhe (talk)
