  • Not sure why so many cites in the lead, see MOS:LEADCITE, as everything in the lead is normally mentioned in the article, reference it there instead.
    • Green checkmarkY I've written an actual lead.
  • Put (USGS) after the expanded version.
    • Green checkmarkY Done.
  • "in Wayne County.[5]" overlinked.
    • Green checkmarkY Done.
  • "″W[1], and" ref after comma.
    • Green checkmarkY Done.
  • Lead could use one or two more sentences, perhaps about its history.
    • Green checkmarkY Done.
  • I would have the History section ahead of the Ecology section.
    • Green checkmarkY Done.
  • "chinkapin oak, hackberry and cottonwood" links?
    • Blue question mark? I had those linked, but they got tagged with a {{dn}} because they weren't links to specific species. The source itself doesn't give this information (all it says is "There are approximately 20.2 ha (50 acres) of upland area which includes a mix of vegetation; massive chinkapin oak, hackberry and cottonwood are among the old growth"). Since I didn't want to do OR, I just removed the links.
  • "over 23 species" more than.
    • Green checkmarkY Done.
  • "ed lake sturgeon,[6]:4​lake whitefish,[6]:4​rainbow smelt,[6]:8​northern pike,[6]:10​muskellunge,[6]:10​carp,[6]:13​minnow,[6]:17​channel catfish,[6]:19​bullhead[disambiguation needed],[6]:19​white bass,[6]:22​smallmouth bass,[6]:22​yellow perch,[6]:25​walleye,[6]:31​and " spaces after each reference, and one of those is already tagged as [disambiguation needed].
    • Green checkmarkY Done.
  • " by Potawatomi, who" context, who were they?
    • Green checkmarkY Done.
  • "connecting it to Grosse Ile[2] as" overlinked.
    • Green checkmarkY Done.
  • "activity died down" dredging activity?
    • Green checkmarkY Done.
  • "1977[10] until the company ceased operations in 1987.[12]" put that [10] at the end, nasty placement now.
    • Green checkmarkY Done.
  • Date formats in the references should be consistent.
    • Green checkmarkY Done.
  • Ref 1 needs more information, publisher/website and publication/access date etc.
    • Blue question mark? I assume you're talking about the GNIS ref; I don't think I can do this, since the reference is provided through a template ({{Gnis}}). I can try to look at the documentation, but it doesn't seem like it will work.

@The Rambling Man: I think that covers everything. Thanks for picking up these articles so quickly! jp×g 22:44, 5 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
