Article new enough, long enogh, neutral and well sourced. No close paraphrasing found. QPQ done. Hook short enough and interesting. Image is appropriate and in public domain. One small issue regarding Mayda being the first named island outside Earth. The cited source actually says it's the first named island on Titan. It doesn't say whether there are islands on other bodies. Tip: cite these search results instead. — Kpalion(talk) 10:55, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks Kpalion! That's a very good point. There aren't named extraterrestrial islands beyond Titan, but the reference doesn't verify that. I changed the reference to be a bit more manageable. It is restricted to insulae, but no longer just on Titan. Here is the new link: [1]. Does that help? Also, do you think "...island beyond the Earth" works better or "...extraterrestrial island"? I've been going back and forth. IronGargoyle (talk) 13:15, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
