Article name

Note: This article is named "Aristarchus (crater)" as part of the convention for the large number (2400+) of lunar crater articles, some of which needed disambiguation from craters on the Earth, Mars, Mercury or elsewhere, not to mention like-named pages on other topics. — RJH (talk) 21:11, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions for improving to A class

There are a few details that could be added to this article to improve its quality from GA to A.

I believe that the statement concerning the anorthositic composition of the central peaks is debated.
There should be some reference to the presence of volcanic glass in the vicinity of the aristarchus plateau.
There should be one or two images showing the abundance of TiO2, FeO, or Th, as obtained from Clementine, LP, or Hubble.
A better image(s) showing the various sinuous rilles, cobra head, and central peak could probably be found.
A reference for the 450 Ma age is needed.
An image showing the locations of the Satelite craters should probably accompany the table.

GA Sweeps (Pass)

This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article.

A few comments I had, outside the GA review:

Use of dazzling in lead seems unencyclopedic
Is "Wood's Spot" a common enough alternate name that it should be added to the article's lead sentence?
Could the two named craters be added to the secondary craters table? As I understand it, just because they're named doesn't mean they're not secondary craters.
