GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   Lead could use a sentence or two about what's in the history section to conform to MOS:LEAD. No copyvio, good prose and structure.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   Reference section is fine. However, I think there needs to be a second cite to the Thomas Gordon Thompson 1888—1961, with a different page number to source the naming of the R/V; and perhaps I missed it, but I could find no reference to the USNS vessel. Also, neither in that source nor in the "Thompson Family Papers" could I find the actual year the island was purchased. Again, did I miss it?

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   As broad as an article like this can be.

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

   Edit history revealed no edit wars.

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   Good map in infobox. Failed to find any free images on commons.

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail: - on hold while nominating editor is on vacation pass after corrections made.

   Fix the leads and the cites and you're good to go.

Onel5969 - thanks much! I've fixed the lede, addition one reference, and changed some verbiage to make it consistent with the existing references. I believe that's everything you outlined, but let me know if I missed something. LavaBaron (talk) 01:40, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
