Lead

-For the beginning when you say "I will be talking about.." is a little informal for an informational website so I would suggest that you get rid of this part so that you are not saying things like "I" and try staying away from things such as "seems to be."

-You should replace that first sentence with an introductory sentence about the topic so it can show readers what exactly they are going to be reading about.

Organization

-I would also suggest organizing the information you have on the lake into different sections so it is easier to follow. For example, when you talk about the lake being monomictic and stratified you could put that into a category of "Limnology" and further break it down into "temperature conditions" or something along those lines.

-There is a lot of good information, I would just suggest organizing a little more to find information faster.

Sources and References

-All of the links for the citations work and are correctly connected to each of the in-text citations.

-3 journal articles that are full of good information on the lake as well as a few websites created by virginia tech, so all of the resources are scholarly and add quality information to the article.

-Source 2 seems to be used more often than any of the other sources, so I would try and make sure that you are not relying too heavily on only one source for the article.

Content

-Lots of information on the limnology of the lake because it is a research lake, but I would explain some more of some of the content if the sources say more about it. For example, when you talk about the unique formula that was used for changes of organic carbon, I would suggest explaining what the variables of the formula are and the significance so that the reader can understand the process they went through in order to collect this information.

-Other things I would explain more are vocabulary words that are related to limnology that the general population may not know about or understand. This would allow for a more informative read and a better understanding of the topic as a whole.

-Article contains a background/history section, information about limnology, and an explanation of certain measures that were applied to the lake in order to alter the chemistry of the lake to improve the conditions. I would say that all of this information is pretty up-tp-date in terms of experimentation and different things that they changed, if the last updated study was done in 2018 then this is as up-to-date as it can be, but I would just make sure.

Tone and Balance

-I could not detect any biases in the tone of the article
