looks good to me — I don’t understand all the technical seismologist jargon but it was still readable and compelling. TY for developing this article to good status! jengod (talk) 02:44, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
- jengod, did you intend that "X" under Plagiarism? I suspect you entered "n" in the checklist to mean "no plagiarism", but the correct response in that case would be "y" for "yes, it's free of plagiarism". MANdARAX XAЯAbИAM 21:48, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
- Oh gosh thank you User:mandarax fixed now. I meant “there is no plagiarism” — sorry and thanks for catching jengod (talk) 22:00, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
- @SamBroGaming: The source abstract says "horizontal acceleration ... highest ever recorded in Greece", shouldn't that refer to peak ground acceleration instead (as opposed to strong ground motion)? I don't have access, perhaps its defined better in there but just something I want to clarify.Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 07:28, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Dora the Axe-plorer: The research paper cited goes between peak ground acceleration and strong ground motion interchangeably, however if you want to change the hook to say highest peak ground acceleration recorded in Greece instead of strong ground motion, I can get behind that. SamBroGaming (talk) 14:09, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- Correct me if I'm wrong since I don't have the full paper. I would think it's referring to peak ground acceleration since the article directly mentions the g unit which usually reference acceleration.Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 14:17, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- It says "[...] the town of Aigio recorded a horizontal acceleration as high as 0.54 g - the highest ever recorded in Greece - in the vicinity of a coIlapsed building. The main characteristic of the recorded strong ground motion is the pulselike shape of its most intensive part [...]", so I can see an argument for both keeping it as is, and changing it. SamBroGaming (talk) 14:27, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- What concerns me is that ground motion may be referring to peak ground velocity, which is different from pga. This isn't clearly defined in the text provided. Switching to pga in the hook seems like a safer option since the source tells us that.Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 14:43, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- Sounds good to me, however I don't know how to do that. Can you please guide me through that or just change it for me? Sorry for my inexperience. SamBroGaming (talk) 14:58, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

@Jengod: I addressed an issue with Sam so the new hook should be ... that the 1995 Aigio earthquake caused the strongest ground acceleration ever recorded in Greece? This change was also made in the article. Thank you. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 15:55, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks so much for being responsive to questions. That’s good stuff. jengod (talk) 16:38, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
@Jengod: As this is only my second DYK, I do not believe QPQ is required. Do I need to do anything more for the nomination to pass? SamBroGaming (talk) 16:30, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
