Congratulations with a good article. Interesting article about a lake I would otherwise never had heard of. Arsenikk (talk)  09:11, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I've always wondered about this one: when saying "U.S. state of Pennsylvania", why is it considered important to link to "U.S. state" but not important to link to, or even mention, "United States".
 * I've adopted this as a result of experiences in different FACs. For some reason linking to United States is sometimes considered WP:OVERLINKing, but linking to US state is not. Thanks, Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 13:16, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I would have though presenting the basics of the lake (size, length etc.) before the various ownerships would be more natural, but this is beyond a GA review.
 * Most of the ownership is in the History section, but it seemed helpful to briefly identify William Reynolds Ricketts, as he is quoted on the lake's size and height. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 13:16, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
 * 'American Revolutionary War' needs linking, so people who do not know when it is can look it up. Consider adding a year as well.
 * Thanks for linking this, Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 13:16, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
 * As 'circa' has been assimilated into the English language as a common word, it shouldn't be in italics. (not strictly a GA criteria)
 * Switched to "about", thanks, Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 13:16, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Not all the converts are have the right number of digits, so I've forced some of them to one decimal.
 * Thanks very much, Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 13:16, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
 * If you're going to use raw formatting for square meters, use, not the symbol ². (not strictly a GA criteria)
 * Not sure why that did not use the convert template, thanks for the fix. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 13:16, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
 * To convert delta temperatures, use
 * I did not know that - thanks very much! Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 13:16, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I always find that placing the commonscat box in a two-column reference area uses a lot of space, because it takes up the space of almost a full column. Perhaps move it somewhere else?
 * There is a space for it in the Geobox, so I moved it there. Thanks, Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 13:16, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much for your edits and review, I will address the individual points today. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 12:24, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
 * All replied to, thanks yet again. Ruhrfisch &gt;&lt;&gt; &deg; &deg; 13:16, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
