Changes and additions to Lake Minocqua article
[edit]First, thank you for putting in the time and effort you have to improve this article. While this is an improvement over the original article, the article is still lacking crucial elements.
General comments
- See the Crater Lake Wiki page for an example of an exceptional lake page
- Typically the Table of Contents occurs after the Introduction
- One of the most helpful parts of many Wiki pages, including those for lakes, is the InfoBox on the side; it would be really helpful to have one of those for Lake Minocqua
- The article would benefit from some external links, e.g., for Ojibwe, the town of Minocqua, or for the species you list under Biological Aspects
- When listing units for the lake's physical dimensions, take a look at what other lake pages use, and when in doubt use metric over standard English units
Specific comments
- You are missing units for the lake volume here: The volume of the lake is 30,473
- "Musky" should be listed as "Muskellunge"
- The Recreation section would benefit from a citation or two
