[edit] Lake Erie

An incredible article: lots of info. I cant believe it wasnt nominated before!—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.40.243.98 (talk • contribs).

• Needs some work. Definently a good article but doesn't seem to meet the current critera for a featured article.
  • Intro needs work, doesn't summarize the article well enough, see WP:LEAD.
  • The history section is woefully short, and doesn't cover anything before 1969! It does link to some related articles though. So I guess that's something.
  • Ecology section looks nice but contains some uncited claims bordering on weasel words, describing opinions of people and controversies. A citation or two for these would really help.
  • Geology section needs some actual prose. Surely there must be some geological information on the lake - perhaps its formation, age, etc. - that would be good here. --W.marsh 20:08, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
• Move to Peer review I recommend this article be move to peer review since it fails most of the criteria for FA (WP:SNOW). Joelito (talk) 20:10, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
• Object. I agree with Joelito that this should spend some time in peer review before being seriously considered. I suspect this article could rapidly be brought up to FA status with a little work. --NormanEinstein 20:16, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
• Object One inline citation does not an article make. Needs more references which are cited inline and the lists of info at the end could use better formatting. Staxringold 19:34, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
