i think this is a great topic for you to write about (given that youre from michigan). i like how you formatted the page. the inserted links look very professional and the pictures are all relevant. i also like the bulleted list for some reason. i think the subsections are perfect as well.

1. (Done well): - The structure of the outline is really clear. - The chronological order of the U.S. locks + the bullet points + bolded names of the locks makes it much easier to understand the history of the locks 2. (Suggestions): - For the image descriptions, you don't need to include "image of". - You briefly mention the locks were heavily guarded during WWII. I'm not sure if there is any other significance that comes with that, but you could potentially expand on that. (like why was these locks + waterway were guarded) 3. (Most Important Improvement): - You have the main points down, but more details in the description of operation and economic impact would be nice. 4. (Applicable to me): - Both the integration of images and the visual structure within each sections could be applicable to me. Andmarsh (talk) 14:11, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

Seems to cover the subject, as well as explain certain details. The main issue is the lack of source material. There are no cited sources or references to support the information.

The economic impact of the Soo locks only seems to focus on the steel industry, without going into detail of other uses of the locks. There is also the claim "In the event of scheduled or unscheduled closure of greater than six months of the Soo Locks, some manufacturers reliant on the steel industry may have no choice but to shut down because their whole supply chain relies on passage through the locks." There is no source or explanation for this statement, it seems to be more of an opinion or exaggeration.

Please add sources, expand on the economic impact, and include sources for factual statements. --Maza02 (talk) 14:26, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
