Why the lighthouse leans

This article should include some information on why the lighthouse leans. Some of the support structure was removed when work was being done on the end of the breakwall, but I don't know any more details.

Name Change needed?

I think that this should be called the Ludingion North Breakwater Light, as there is another (and equally important) Ludington North Pierhead Light. What do you think? 11:10, 3 August 2008 (UTC) Stan

Excessive External links

These links have been tagged as of concern since 2012 so have been reviewed per Wikipedia:External_links#Maintenance_and_review. They do not appear to meet the requirements at WP:EL, failing WP:ELNO#1 at least. The links are mostly fairly general, and are not always specific to this lighthouse, offering little encyclopedic content that cannot simply be written into the article, using the links as sources. Because they may be of use to editors wishing to work on the article they have been moved here. If, after examination, a link is found not to be useful it can be removed from this list. If the link does prove useful, appropriate information can be summarised in the article, using the link as a reliable source if it meets the WP:RELIABLE criteria, and then the link can be removed from this list. Be aware that, per WP:ELBURDEN, none of these links should be returned to the article without first gaining consensus. SilkTork (talk) 10:44, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
