Keep Intro Simple, Use Body for Detail edit
The introduction should not have technical detail and too much jargon. Such material belongs in the body of the article. The intro should be simple, telling the non-specialist reader the most important, basic facts first, such as where it is, geographically and tectonically.
Part of the location info is wrong. For one thing, there is no such town as "Solano". If you mean Solano County, the Calaveras does not run there, unless you have new, ref'd information.
The section about seismicity should note that no really large quakes have occurred in historic times on the Calaveras as this is significant when compared to the other major faults in the region. If there is a geologic record of very large quakes, this can be noted separately. Tmangray 06:56, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Other faults edit
The article branches off into discussing other, non-related faults that happen to be nearby. This is apparently to compensate for the fact that there is no high level article describing all the faults (41+) in California. Worse, there is no "Geology of California." Even worse, Geography of California does not have a organized Geology subsection, just little snippets here and there.
The article needs to move irrelevant information to a higher level article or description of these other faults. Student7 (talk) 23:45, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
