GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
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.
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?
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects):  b (focused): 
As broad as an article like this can be.
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias: 

It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.: 
Edit history revealed no edit wars.
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.
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)
