GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria


A well written and informative article on an interesting topic.

  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    A. Prose quality:  
    B. MoS compliance:  
    The only issue is that there's a list facing a left-aligned image in the Subglacial section.
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
    A. References to sources:  
    B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:  
    C. No original research:  
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. Major aspects:  
    B. Focused:  
  4. Is it neutral?
    Fair representation without bias:  
  5. Is it stable?
    No edit wars, etc:  
  6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
    A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:  
    B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:  
    Excellent use of pictures to illustrate the topic, including several Featured Pictures. One issue is File:VEIfigure en.svg in the Eruption mechanisms section, which needs to be larger so that the text is legible.
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:  
    Excellent treatment and a great article. My recommendation would be to get thee to WP:FAC post-haste.


Excellent article, that certainly qualifies on the Good Article criteria. My only reservation is that, despite the high-school paper on Surtsey I once wrote, I'm not a subject matter expert, so I can't vouch for specific issues of balance or controversy; but I see no reason to believe such exist. Passing the article (as soon as I figure out the various administrativa ;D).

Kudos on great work in this article! --Xover (talk) 12:16, 14 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
