GA Review

Hi, I will be reviewing your aricle Metis (moon) for GA. It seems like a very good article. Initially, I have a couple of comments. Please feel free to contact me. &mdash; Mattisse (Talk) 19:39, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * All the references seem to be in a uniform format except for reference number 6. Could you put that one in a web xxx format as the others are?
 * per MOS:LINK, duplicate linking is discouraged, especially of relatively common terms. I notice that you have Jupiter linked more than once and perhaps others. Could you check for this?
 * Although the image is a NASA image, it also has a copyright warning on it. Could you be sure that it is a free use image? Or justify its use, if it is fair use?
 * I may be adding other comments as I read through the article again. &mdash; Mattisse  (Talk) 19:39, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I notice that in one place you do not have Galileo spacecraft italicized (in the lead), but under Discovery and observations you have it italicized as well as Galileo. I see that Galileo is italicized in the article on the spacecraft. If there is a particular convention regarding this, it should be consistent.
 * In Rings of Jupiter, the text in that section does not capitalize "Main Ring". Should it be capitalized or should it be main ring, uncapitalized? In the first sentence under Relationship with Jupiter's rings, you do not capitalize it.
 * Phobos needs to be disambiguated.
 * It seems like Voyager 1 should be italicized at first mention for consistency, as discussed above. You have italicized it in the following mention.
 * "water ice" - it seems like "water" is redundant since ice comes from water.
 * Since you say "Metis is tidally locked to Jupiter" in the lead, you should also discuss this in the article body; at least make clear where you are referring to this in the body. Perhaps explain how it relates to Tidal locking.
 * "Its long axis is aligned towards Jupiter, this being the lowest energy configuration." - It would be helpful to elaborate on this and other statements that may be obscure to the general reader.


 * I should have solved most of the issues except for:

 * image: I have no idea what to do about the image. please help
 * water ice is commonly used in astronomy since in astronomy, solidified methane or ammonia are also considered "ices".
 * tidal locking is discussed in the second paragraph of the orbit section
 * Image should be O.K. accoring to which with I checked.  &mdash; Mattisse  (Talk) 02:46, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Anything else I need to do? Nergaal (talk) 04:39, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * How about delinking ice since that article specifically says it refers to water? Otherwise, everything seems fine. &mdash; Mattisse  (Talk) 18:49, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
