RJH review
Overall a pretty good article. I really couldn't find much to fault, so I only have a few suggestions:
- The first sentence of "Composition" section suggests a composition that is half water ice. Should this just say water, in lieu of the subsurface ocean? Or is the composition section specifically about the surface?
- I think the second paragraph of "Orbit and rotation" may need a diagram for clarity. Also, the term "superior conjunction" is usually used in reference to the Earth's position around the Sun. I'm unclear about the perspective here.
- I suspect that some jargon like "moment of inertia" and "magnetic moment" may need to be explained.
- Could the article explain why Ganymede accreted at such a rapid rate compared to Callisto?
Nice work. Thank you.—RJH (talk) 23:58, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
- Re the last bullet, I added "The jovian subnebula may have been relatively "gas-starved" when the Galilean satellites formed; this would have allowed for the lengthy accretion times required for Callisto." The paper is here. Ruslik, I couldn't find the point where it confirms 10,000 years for Ganymede. Marskell (talk) 12:09, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- Found a diagram on Io for the second point. Marskell (talk) 12:17, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- I added a ref. Ruslik (talk) 18:49, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
The lead has been expanded to a good size and Velvetron is taking care of some minor things like duplicate blue links. Next, the info box needs refs. Marskell (talk) 10:20, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
