The Mycale Strait separates the peninsula from the nearby island of Samos. Named after Mount Mycale, it is only about 1.6 km (0.99 mi) long at its narrowest point, making it one of the smallest straits within the region of the Aegean Sea. Change the first it in the second sentence to the strait to be more specific.

Events could be moved to the history section, rather than the activity section.

Optional edit-In the first sentence under the history section: For most of the area's existence, the lands from the peninsula southwards to the river delta were uninhabited by people or very sparsely settled, and were otherwise untouched by human influence., be more specific as to what peninsula and river delta are being mentioned. This may seem a bit peculiar, but it would be better to have this information than not.

Comment edit

This review is probably going to be quick, as all of the problems I had in the first GA Review have been fixed. I may however, find other issues, which I will post below.

It is well written edit

the prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct  

and it complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.  


I fixed some grammar errors that I found, but everything looks good now.

Verifiable with no original research edit

it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline  

all in-line citations are from reliable sources, including those for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines

it contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism  


This is the only area in which I can find any problems. Using checklinks, I found two sources that have issues. For reference 17, the website cannot be reached, and reference 30 comes up with a 404 error. Any information that is in the article and relies on these two sources would have to be referenced with different websites.

Nice job with fixing the descriptions, everything looks good now!

Overall edit

The sources problem is the only thing that needs to be fixed. When these issues are fixed, the article can be passed   Will211 (talk) 06:30, 15 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Alright, I see that the references have been fixed. With the gallery, I think the topographic model would be good to put in the article, but that's your decision. Since the problems have been fixed, this article can pass. Will211 (talk) 00:50, 16 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
