Talk:White Shoal Light, Michigan

Is It Active
The GSA seems to be selling it, so is it really an active lighthouse? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:4898:80E8:3:0:0:0:B2 (talk) 22:46, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

Not "stub" or "start" class anymore
The ratings here do not reflect the present state of the article. 7&amp;6=thirteen (talk) 15:07, 11 March 2010 (UTC) Stan
 * I'm assessing this as C-class. I'll offer the following suggestions for further improvement:
 * Consider improving the references using cite or something similar to give more complete citaion information. WP:REFLINKS is a useful tool to help with this.
 * I don't think there should be photographs in the External links section. Also, consider whether each external link meets the criteria in WP:EL.
 * Portions of the article (especially in "Description", "Popular culture", and "Seeing the light" sections) are written in an overly promotional tone.
 * The "History" section seems to me to include excessive information about the Great Lakes lighthouses in general, and very little information about this particular light. cmadler (talk) 13:29, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Still active. 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 21:40, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Interestingly, your comment on citations and suggestion that we use "reflinks" misses the point that these are all complete citations.
 * You also missed the boat in terms of "history" as the information puts this lighthouse into context.
 * The article is also complete and thorough on the history and particulars of this light.
 * This is at least a B. But niffnawing over ratings is not helping build and encyclopedia.  7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 21:46, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
