 * Reviewing this. -- Pres N  18:59, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Cute little article!
 * The first paragraph is a bit sketchy on the "one or many" question- it's all written as if it's a single entity, like Nessie, which makes putting "number of individuals" as if it's a trait of a single individual read oddly.
 * Done. Tezero (talk) 23:04, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
 * "who is rumored to live in Muskrat Lake" - "which", you refer to Mussie as "it" or "the creature" everywhere else, so "who is misplaced
 * "Which" wouldn't exactly be right, so I've gone with "that". Tezero (talk) 21:25, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
 * "Canadian pioneer Samuel de Champlain wrote about it" - that + "in the early seventeenth century"
 * Done. Tezero (talk) 21:25, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
 * "fruitlessness" is a strange word to use
 * Changed to "futility". Tezero (talk) 21:25, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Paragraph 2 of Characteristics is unclear as to how Mussie got there- I presume you mean that Muskrat Lake was once connected to the sea?
 * Reworded. Tezero (talk) 23:04, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
 * "Robison is as follows." - colon, not period
 * Done, and moved the citation accordingly. Tezero (talk) 21:25, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
 * "independently of the truth" - independent
 * Done. Tezero (talk) 21:25, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Can you archive that pdf source? That doesn't seem like it will be long-term stable.
 * Oddly, I can't. Wayback is completely down now and WebCite still isn't working. I'll put it on my Google Drive for safekeeping, like I did with those two YouTube videos from the Sonic X article, until I find a better way to store them on the Internet. Tezero (talk) 21:25, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
 * A photo would be nice for the article - this flickr image, supposedly of Mussie, is free (CC-BY 2.0), and this one (directly discussed in the article) is not, but you may be able to ask the photographer to re-license it as CC or public domain.
 * Added the first one. Tezero (talk) 23:04, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Looks like a snapping turtle. 162.251.16.246 (talk) 07:57, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
