A fact from Pharos (crater) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 16 July 2024 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Pharos, the largest impact crater on Neptune's moon Proteus, is more than half the diameter of Proteus itself?

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)
@ArkHyena:: The article reads really well! Though it is quite short with regards to other Good Articles, it does not lack in its structure and grammar. Here are some comments from my read-through of the article:
due to how unusually close it is to Proteus: should it not be how unusually close it is to Pharos instead?
It should be the former, though wording is ambiguous. I've attempted to clarify the sentence as may have formed Hippocamp, a small moon orbiting unusually close to Proteus, though this still is a bit ambiguous admittedly. An alternative suggestion would be welcome! ArkHyena (talk) 23:52, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
the Ras el-Tin promontory: does an article exist for it such that it could be wikilinked?
was likely highly disruptive.: it'd be nice to have a citation or two right after that sentence to prove this potentially controversial point.
Statement attributed to source 10: The Pharos crater on Proteus is unusually large relative to the moon’s size, suggesting that Proteus may have also come close to disruption. ArkHyena (talk) 09:29, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Are there any estimates, or time ranges, in how long ago the Pharos impact could have happened?
Unfortunately, no source I could find gives any precise estimates besides source 9, which states Hippocamp is probably at least a few billion years old. whilst suggesting Hippocamp is a fragment from the Pharos impact. ArkHyena (talk) 09:29, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
~2%: using a word instead of the ~, like roughly will help make this sentence more encyclopedic.
Hippocamp's eccentricity and inclination are both small, so if Hippocamp originated from the Pharos impact a mechanism is required to circularize Hippocamp's orbit.: This sentence may need some re-structuring, especially near the end of the sentence.
I completed a random spot-check verification of the sources and found no issues in the use of the references. I ran a multitude of user scripts to check for copyvios, reference formatting and found no issues there either. Proper NPOV, nice useage of media (maybe an extra image could help?) all appropriately tagged. No stability issues. This article is quite short, but this is not a GA requirement, and I feel safe passing this!
