Right-o then, I will be getting this done promptly. BarntToust 15:56, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

Big thing: the sources cited in the article, other than one of them and another source that is a direct link to the Internet Archive, lack links to a web archive. The following are helpful to check out in order to do this:
Help:Archiving a source
Help:Using the Wayback Machine
Minor thing: in section East Island (Hawaii)#2018 Hurricane and Partial Submergence, does the term "Partial Submergence" need to be capitalised?
BarntToust 16:28, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

@BarntToust Ok, I think I dealt with it. The capitalization is a silly mistake and archives aren't my jam. I did fix it though I do think. MallardTV  Talk to me!  16:46, 20 June 2025 (UTC)
It's maybe 10 or 11 sources. Want a GA pass? Take the time to do them, ask someone else who is a major page contributor (I'm going to have too much page contribution to be considered uninvolved if I were to do it), or get the archive bot in here. BarntToust 16:52, 20 June 2025 (UTC)
I think I archived it all. MallardTV  Talk to me!  13:41, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
right-o! BarntToust 17:51, 21 June 2025 (UTC)
Sounds great! MallardTV  Talk to me!  13:22, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
Copyvio check returns two refs of 5.8% similarity, four refs of 3.7% similarity. A-ok by several county miles. BarntToust 17:09, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
Images, which include USgov public domain works, maps, one work that if it was copyrighted has lapsed for eligibility, and one rather lazy seal upon the shore, look properly licensed. BarntToust 17:13, 22 June 2025 (UTC)
 Passed  •  This was a neat read of an island once nearly lost to the sea, informative and adhering to the tenets laid out at GA. MallardTV, great work on this! BarntToust 21:59, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

Thank you! MallardTV  Talk to me!  22:08, 22 June 2025 (UTC)


### East Island (Hawaii)
I've listed this article for peer review because I would love for this article to pass FA review the next time around. I feel as though it has improved greatly in my 16-hour editing marathon but I need more opinions.

#### FAC PR sidebar
I have added this article to the FAC PR sidebar. Please consider reviewing articles listed there, and remove this entry when this PR is closed. I also suggest that you seek the help of a mentor who can help with getting a successful nomination. Lastly, I suggest that you review articles at WP:FAC now: this will help you learn the FA criteria and build goodwill amongst FAC reviewers, making your article more likely to be reviewed when it is nominated.

Comments

What's been your approach to sourcing this article? There appear to be a number of other references available, eg [1][2][3][4]
For each source cited, make sure you could answer what makes it reliable
How are you ordering Bibliography entries?
Citation formatting could use some cleaning up - for example, initials in the Fuentes ref should be capitalized
File:Atoll_research_bulletin_(1971)_(20157463550).jpg: is more specific tagging available? Ditto File:East_Island,_June_12,_1966._(5988083516).jpg
Why is the 2018 storm section not a subsection of History?
Any info on climate other than the 2018 storm?
Who named the island when?
Any more specific detail on flora? Nikkimaria (talk) 19:52, 28 June 2025 (UTC)
To be honest, my approach in sourcing this was to scour the internet, google scholar, and the Wikipedia Library. I will 100% be looking at the sources you attached.
I can do that for every source but one, which I'm trying to find an alternative for. (LORAN History)
It's for the most part in the order they are used, but I plan to alphabetize.
Got it.
I'll have to look into this, image tagging is not my forte.
I figured it would warrant its own section because it is one of the major factors making the island notable.
Not that I could find.
Couldn't find anything exactly about that, but I'll keep digging.
I don't think so, the island is nearly all sand.
@Nikkimaria MallardTV  Talk to me!  13:38, 29 June 2025 (UTC)
The article does say shrubs and vines, just wondering if there's anything more specific.
Do we know what minerals are represented in the gravel?
Some of the terminology in the lead tends towards jargon - eg haul-out
The infobox says the highest elevation is 2.3 m, but the article body says that's the mean - which is correct? Also why is this number metric-first in the infobox but imperial-first in the body?
Given that the current area, length and width don't match what's in the infobox, I'd suggest at least adding an explanatory note. Nikkimaria (talk) 03:52, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
@Nikkimaria I'm finally back in town! The islands infobox doesn't have a mean elevation parameter, so I'm not sure whether to just not include that data in the infobox. It does seem important though. MallardTV  Talk to me!  07:21, 6 July 2025 (UTC)


#### Query from Z1720
@MallardTV: It has been over a month since the last comment. Is this ready to be closed and nominated at WP:FAC? Z1720 (talk) 04:52, 10 August 2025 (UTC)

@Z1720 This has been at FAC for bit now... all that I could see from my end was that this was already closed and archived. If something went wrong and this is still open somehow, please do close it.  MallardTV  Talk to me!  04:59, 10 August 2025 (UTC)
