Hi! Sorry for the edit conflict, I changed things and removed the unreliable source. Anyway, I want to nominate 1917 Samoa earthquake for GA, but I wonder if the article will pass, so I'm asking you if the article can probably pass or not (since you are more experienced in this topic). Thanks, 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 06:11, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi yes the article has the potential for GA status but it still needs significant work. It won't pass a review in the current condition. At the moment, I'm waiting for four of my nominations to be reviewed. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 06:19, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What things can I do to improve it? 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 06:26, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TheNuggeteer You could probably expand it further and refine the language. There's a few sources covering this event extensively. I'd probably take advantage of those sources Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 09:09, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also you seem to confuse impact of the 2009 tsunami with the 1917 event Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 09:22, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think I should make you a co-nom. Agree? 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 12:52, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The "few sources" seen are actually just one source, with the other sources you talked about "milking" it. I think we can expand a tad bit with this source. 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 13:10, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How do you find the rare newspaper sources? 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 13:13, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:LOONA has a list of archived newspapers so you could probably find some stuff about this event Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 13:53, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Impact section seems okay now, bit Geology is irrelevant because it's about the local island. It should be related to the tectonic setting. Earthquake section also needs work Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 13:54, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also please actually use the proper title of the newspaper sources, do not just copy the header title, for example this source:

The title here is not "Honolulu Star-Bulletin Thu, Aug 16, 1917 ·Page 12 Honolulu Star-Bulletin›Thu, Aug 16, 1917›Page:", you will find the title above the news article: Recent Samoan Earthquake is Severest Felt. Doing something like that will quickfail the nomination due to improper referencing. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 14:03, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have a topic ban from GA, so I don't think I can nominate the article. You can nominate it and I'll just expand the article. Thanks, 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 23:24, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 09:12, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
