Talk:Amalthea (moon)

message: Not wanting to tread on the article editor's toes, I'll list a few issues here:
* Per WP:MoS#Article_titles, bold face should only be used for the first appearance of the title (or synonyms). The presence of so many amalthea's in the text seems distracting to me. Could it be cleaned up?
* "the porous water ice" doesn't need a "the".
* "mean motion resonances" may be unfamiliar to most readers. A brief explanation would likely help.
* Mixing "color" and "colour" on the same page. (C.f. WP:MoS#National_varieties_of_English.)
* tidally locked should be linked.
Thanks. — RJH (talk) 19:53, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm placing this article on hold for now. It's well-written, nicely cited, and approachable to non-experts. The only thing which stops me from passing this article is the extremely short lead. WP:LEAD states the opening paragraph "should be capable of standing alone as a concise overview of the article, establishing context, summarizing the most important points, explaining why the subject is interesting or notable, and briefly describing its notable controversies, if there are any." and goes on to recommend up to four paragraphs in the lead. This article has just one paragraph, only 80 words long, which certainly does not summarize the contents of the entire article. Aside from this concern, the rest of the article seems to satisfy all the requirements. Firsfron of Ronchester 03:50, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Excellent work. I don't see any typos, and the lead is long enough. Everything seems in order. Good job! Firsfron of Ronchester 02:26, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: On hold

message: A couple of details which would be good to sort out. In the article one finds the following statements:
* These values of inclination and eccentricity are unusual for an inner satellite... — In what way?
:* In the way that they are not zeros. Ruslik 06:49, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

message: What is this?  I clicked on it, which gave me an explaination of what a radius is.  I know that already.  Is this how far away it is from Jupiter?  Jokem (talk) 21:18, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

message: As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "Planets and Moons" articles. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. I have made several minor corrections throughout the article. Altogether the article is well-written and is still in great shape after its passing in 2007. Continue to improve the article making sure all new information is properly sourced and neutral. I would also recommend going through all of the citations and updating the access dates and fixing any dead links. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have updated the article history to reflect this review. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 10:07, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: GA Sweeps Review: Pass

message: Flammarion suggested the name Amalthée in L'Astronomie, Vol. 12, p. 94 (cite: Jürgen Blunck, Solar System Moons: Discovery and Mythology (2009), p. 10). The trouble is, the ADS record for this is wrong, combining Flammarion's article "Le nouveau satellite de Jupiter" with the following article "Saturne en 1892" by J. Guillaume, and attributes the whole thing to Guillaume. At any rate the code is 1893LAstr..12...91G. It would be cool to add these references at the appropriate spot but I don't know how to handle the ADS error here. --Cam (talk) 04:05, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
