[edit] 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)

[edit] 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.
