Outstanding concerns from FAC
The article was promoted as a FA on February 28, 2022, without these comments being resolved/replied. Anyone interested may try to fix these suggestions: – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 20:11, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
 * "It was constructed in the late 1880s" — I would specify 'Island' here, else it appears that 'it' represents the border. Optional suggestion.
 * "to the water's edge", "had been shooting with a revolver" — The lead does not makes clear where these quotes comes from.
 * "within Grosse Ile Township, in Wayne County, Michigan, in the United States" — why not simplify to "within Grosse Ile Township, Wayne County, Michigan, United States"?
 * "audible in St. Clair some 60 mi (97 km) to the north" — I'd replace 'some' with 'approximately'
 * Ref#8 has "p. 46" in the source, but you use ":47" in the
 * "represented by Dr. David Inglis" — I don't think we refer to people on Wikipedia by there title, Dr. or Prof.
 * Lake Erie, Grosse Ile, Trenton, Bois Blanc Island: linked more than once.
 * Comment,  Yes, I believe that the fact that the article has attracted 60 edits since going on the Front Page strongly suggests that it needed better copy-editing before being promoted.  Abductive  (reasoning) 10:12, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Without wishing to comment on the quality of the article, I note that a recent TFA of one of "my" FAs, the innocent and brief Roman withdrawal from Africa (255 BC), attracted 78 edits; most of which were reverted a few days later. The number of edits a TFA attracts correlates poorly with the article's quality. And bear in mind that "For a nomination to be promoted to FA status, consensus must be reached that it meets the criteria": FAC coordinators judge whether consensus has been reached, not whether they feel that the criteria have been met. We tend to push that boundary if we feel that an article is not up to scratch, but ultimately all we can do to prevent promotion is to recuse ourselves and do a review like any other editor.

 * Perhaps, but the fact that two editors came here to discuss this matter suggests that this FA is quite unusual in this regard. For every person motivated to complain, market research has indicated that about 500 people noticed an issue. so if a manufacturer receives 20 complaints, they typically have to do a recall, or redesign the product.
