 * 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.
 * 1) 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?
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * As broad as an article like this can be.
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * Edit history revealed no edit wars.
 * 1) 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.
 * 1) 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)
