 * Your citations are wrong. You can link them really easily and wiki will cite them for you. You just hit the "Cite button and then add the url into the text box. And when you reuse citations, you can re-link it to the reference you already made. If you need an example of this, my lake is here and you can see how I did my references: User:Wittlj/Lake Okeechobee.
 * I really appreciate how organized you are with your headers and that you linked key terms to other wikipedias so that you do not have to define them. It helps keep things concise but also readable for non-limnological experts. I also appreciate the little notes you have to yourself about placing and what you need to add. That is a good idea for staying organized.
 * You do not actually have a lead to introduce the section. I am not sure if we needed one if there was already a wiki article made for your lake, but I thought we did. In general though, it would be nice to have more of an introduction of what you are going to be talking about in your articles.
 * Define/state what PNAS is in your first sentence under salinity.
 * Hydrology refers more to water movement rather than the lake characteristics. I feel like you could rename that header to be a bit more related to what you talk about in that paragraph (and since the original wiki article has a hydrology section, I recommend renaming yours). Maybe "Lake Characteristics"? OR- make this your lead! You would not need a header then and this is a nice introduction to the limnology/characteristics of your lake. That actually models my organization pretty well- I had a lead describing the general characteristics of the lake as my lead, and then in body paragraphs went into more details about eutrophication threats and more lake specifics.
 * Also, your hydrology section isn't necessarily an environmental issue. Maybe rename your overall section to "Lake Michigan Limnology and Environmental Issues" or something related.
 * You could give some examples of how the water is being overused (in Drinking Water Addition) if you know them.
 * What do you mean by Addition? Is that just a note to yourself?
 * Any species name should be in italics.
 * Your content and writing is really informative and clear. You are concise yet informative and it is very easy to understand. I do not have any notes on content because you did a really good job on it.
 * You don't seem to be repeating anything from the original article so that is good.
 * Don't forget to add a picture before we are done. You are at about 900 words, so don't forget you need 100 more before you are done. In general, you did a great job.
