• 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.
  • Y I've written an actual lead.
• Put (USGS) after the expanded version.
  • Y Done.
• "in Wayne County.[5]" overlinked.
  • Y Done.
• "″W[1], and" ref after comma.
  • Y Done.
• Lead could use one or two more sentences, perhaps about its history.
  • Y Done.
• I would have the History section ahead of the Ecology section.
  • Y Done.
• "chinkapin oak, hackberry and cottonwood" links?
  • ? 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.
  • Y 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].
  • Y Done.
• " by Potawatomi, who" context, who were they?
  • Y Done.
• "connecting it to Grosse Ile[2] as" overlinked.
  • Y Done.
• "activity died down" dredging activity?
  • Y Done.
• "1977[10] until the company ceased operations in 1987.[12]" put that [10] at the end, nasty placement now.
  • Y Done.
• Date formats in the references should be consistent.
  • Y Done.
• Ref 1 needs more information, publisher/website and publication/access date etc.
  • ? 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)
