General comments

 * The lead should not have an abundance of citations, since all of that material should be covered in more depth in the body. The only ones I would keep are the dictionary ones for the pronunciation.
 * Done.


 * Typically, the TOC usually doesn't include sub-sub headings (four equal signs), so I suggest using to limit it to only sub headings.
 * Done.


 * is awkward being its own sentence. I suggest either adding a paragraph's worth of information on its density and why its unique, or just put the sentence in another related paragraph in the same section.
 * I found that viscosity was only really emphasized in the article lead. I took the opportunity to expand this paragraph to cover physical properties generally (density plus viscosity) with comparisons to other materials and suitable supporting cites. I think this paragraph stands on its own now.


 * The "Mid-ocean ridge basalt" sub-list is confusing. What is Enriched, Normal, or Depleted?
 * Explanation added, along with supporting sources.


 * "Submarine eruptions" section should probably have an introductory paragraph or so.
 * Done.


 * "As well as forming large parts of the Earth's crust, basalt also occurs in other parts of the Solar System." should be under the Other bodies in the Solar System section.
 * Done.


 * All images are properly licensed.
 * Copyvio check showed a match, but they copied from us, so no big deal.

Discussion

 * this article currently has several major issues that need to be fixed before it meets the GA criteria. I will be putting the article on hold, until these issues are fixed. JackFromWisconsin (talk &#124; contribs) 15:27, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I've attempted to address all the concerns. Is anything still lacking? --Kent G. Budge (talk) 16:38, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
 * , the article meets the GA criteria now. I will be promoting it. JackFromWisconsin (talk &#124; contribs) 17:00, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
