For WikiProjects that participate in rating articles, the banners for talk pages usually say something like:

• "This article has been rated as Low-importance on the importance scale."

There is a proposal to change the default wording on the banners to say "priority" instead of "importance". This could affect the template for your group. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council#Proposal to update wording on WikiProject banners.

@Dora the Axe-plorer: I am confused what article mentions the seismic intensifies (particularly the Noto earthquake). I have been quoting USGS for this data because USGS actually uses ground sensors to estimate the seismic intensity for the ShakeMap. The DYFI is largely crowdsourced data and thus not reliable.

I remember there was an article that someone perhaps you linked to me that seemed to give a passing mention of the seismic intensity for the Noto earthquake or the Tohoku earthquake. Perhaps if there is disagreement among scholarly sources what the intensity is we shouldn't mention seismic intensity in the infobox (but maybe further down), or we can fall back to USGS or other reliable earthquake databases.

An editor has gone through just about the whole portfolio of WP:Earthquakes articles for the purpose of replacing deprecated parameters. In some instances though, they've decided to remove or redo map locations, including the epicenter and various city location pins. When you're looking at an article of ours, please take the time to check the history for this change to ensure that those locations are there and restore them.

Hello! I've been trying to create this article, however, I'm having trouble with it as it is quite technical, and I usually make articles on more specific things, like shopping centres or public sculpture, and am having trouble with something more broad. Would anyone be interested in helping create it? Someone recommended I reach out to specific wikiprojects so im doing that here now Froglord (Finnfrog99) (talk) 23:36, 31 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
