There's no standard on what measurements are included beyond perhaps moment magnitude, but I notice other GA earthquake articles list focal depth and/or surface wave readings---is that available here? Perhaps a brief primer on the process of oblique subduction is warranted? The same could be prescribed for mentions of the "slip" centers. Either that or a wikilink as was provided for other, more technical less intuitive geological terms "which they understood as a signal that a large wave" I'm guessing just discernment, but without an earthquake for a near-century prior, how did the islanders know to seek elevation? For "See also", you link to the '76 Papuan earthquake---are the same faults involved or just due to the Australian/Pacific plate intersection? References/images all good. Great article without much else needed. QatarStarsLeague (talk) 21:11, 25 August 2022 (UTC)


 * The depth is included in the infobox, but I could put it somewhere within the article. The surface wave magnitude has not been computed or reported so I will not be able to add that.
 * I will add to the oblique setting when I get home.
 * I am not quite sure what you mean by the slip centers, but I will try to add wikilinks to the more technical terms.
 * The islanders understanding of a large impending wave was simply phrased that way in the source. I personally do not know how they would, but that is what a reliable source says, so I included that information.
 * For the see also, they are both just related by Australian/Pacific interaction.
 * Thank you for the feedback and I'll ping you when I get home and fix the issues! SamBroGaming (talk) 21:54, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
 * @QatarStarsLeague I have fixed the issues you have brought up, and moved the oblique portion to the tectonic setting where my refs better explain it. Hopefully that is enough to GA it, but of course if more fixing needs to be done, please let me know. Thanks, SamBroGaming (talk) 01:25, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
