[edit] Pronounced

Is it pronounced eerie or airy? -- Tim Starling 13:32 23 Jul 2003 (UTC)

It's "eerie"...or at least, I have never heard it pronounced any other way. Adam Bishop 13:46 23 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Thanks. Do you think that's article-worthy? I certainly wouldn't have known it otherwise. -- Tim Starling 13:54 23 Jul 2003 (UTC)

I guess so...how do you put pronunciations in though? With the SAMPA symbols? Adam Bishop 14:00 23 Jul 2003 (UTC)

It was the last of the Great Lakes discovered by the French explorers, who had followed rivers from Lake Erie into Lake Huron. This doesn't seem right. And should we mention lampreys as well as zevra mussels? Wetman 06:08, 3 Feb 2004 (UTC)

[edit] dimensions

I was hoping to find the SIZE of the lake here, how about adding width & length as well as depth... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.62.20.252 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Traffic

Erie carries more ship traffic than other Great Lake, & has more shipwrecks on the bottom as a consequence. Trekphiler 00:26, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

I noticed some vandalism on the top bit. I'm not sure who to edit this, so I'm just trying to get soemone who does and show it to them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.161.30.45 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Comment by User:74.108.87.45

This is all fake!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.108.87.45 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Renomination?

I think this article could be put up for renomination as a featured article. The reasons for its failing nomination have taken care of over the course of the year after it failed. Dtbohrer 16:33, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shoreline

Can someone update it? I deleted the previous information as it was copied by mistake from Lake Superior. Chagai (talk) 05:58, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
