Comment

[edit]

The initial information for this mountain was obtained by a query search at GNIS Antarctica Data Base Query Form. RedWolf 17:53, May 9, 2004 (UTC)

Opening line

[edit]

The opening line possibly needs rewording IMO as the word massive, in it's context, doesn't sound very encyclopedic. Robvanvee 05:49, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Checklist

[edit]

On first pass, this looks quite strong. Well written and well sourced, and though brief, this seems appropriate to its subject. I'll do a search in a moment to make sure "main aspects" are indeed covered.

Rate Attribute Review Comment
1. Well-written:
1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct. Prose is good, and spotchecks show no evidence of copyright issues.
1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.
2. Verifiable with no original research:
2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
2c. it contains no original research.
3. Broad in its coverage:
3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic. Article is brief, but appears to cover main aspects.
3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.
6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
7. Overall assessment. Pass

Mount Hope

[edit]

The information at [1] is consistent with two of my satellite sources. If it is correct then Mount Jackson is not the highest point of the Antarctic Peninsula or even an ultra prominent peak. Mount Hope, its replacement, appears to be at S 69:47:52 W 64:27:18. Viewfinder (talk) 05:14, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
