Hello Evan,
I am an online ambassador for your course. I am working from Australia so my assistance can be provided during your night. You can contact me on my talk page, or by email. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:49, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
To add an image to a Wikipedia page you use Wikimarkup with the file name in this form: [[File:Smile that i created.jpg|thumb|right|Smiley face created by Evan]] If you miss the thumb the image will be too big! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:53, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
You have produced a good draft. Perhaps you could put in some seismometer plots of a slow earthquake and contrast that with a more typical one. Questions that may be asked, could include what is the slowest earthquake? What does "asperity-controlled" mean? Is there an equation to link the quantities you mention to give the probability of such an earthquake? Do slow earthquakes result in a different deformation result in crustal rocks (as compared to fast ones)? Instead of a heading ETS which none of our readers will know use the expanded form "Episodic tremor and slip". I would also like to see a reference for your last two sentences. If you can get that in there I think this would qualify for a DYK once it goes live. For that we need some kind of punchy one liner to draw readers in.

I wasn't aware that this already existed in mainspace, but congratulations! You can incorporate your information into the existing article. Nice work. Let me know should you have further questions on my talk page or at the Teahouse. Go Phightins! 03:13, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for responding to my suggestions. To merge your content in, I suppose you need to edit the existing article and paste in your updates with your references. It is actually easier to write something from scratch, but as it stands you will have to combine your text in with the old article slow earthquake. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:44, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
Wikipedia Education Program- student survey!
Hi! I work with the Wikipedia Education Program, and I'm hoping to get your feedback about your experience this semester! In order to help other students like you enjoy editing while contributing positively to Wikipedia, it would be very helpful to hear from real program students about their experience, so we know what to change. The survey takes no more than 10 minutes, and I'd really appreciate your response!
Thanks so much! JMathewson (WMF) (talk) 22:51, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi! I edited Slow earthquake to remove the sentence about tsunamis in the intro. After reading the reference, it's clear that the article is talking about an earthquake that's only "slow " relative to typical earthquakes, with the fault rupture propagating at 1 km/s instead of 3 km/s, but is much more like regular earthquakes than what this article is about. The "slow" earthquake described in that reference is still a fairly sudden event, compared to the slow earthquakes in the article, which rupture at speeds measured in cm/day.
