Comments

  • Lead is unacceptably brief, should summarise all the pertinent aspects of the article.
    • Green checkmarkY Done.
  • " WikiMiniAtlas42°06′21″N 83°08′30″W[1], in" ref after comma.
    • Green checkmarkY Fixed.
  • Don't use USGS without explaining it.
    • Green checkmarkY Fixed.
  • If you insist on that image being right up top like that, you'll need to link all the linkable items in the caption as nothing up to this point apart from Detroit River has been linked.
    • Green checkmarkY Fixed.
  • "in the Detroit River is" link.
    • Green checkmarkY Fixed.
  • "The United States Geological Survey gave..." that's where you add (USGS).
    • Green checkmarkY Fixed.
  • "1851 references to Fox Island give its area as 0.81 acres (0.33 ha); [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] " avoid starting sentences with numerals, don't put space between punctuation and refs, and do we really need seven references for this? At the very least, bundle them up.
    • Green checkmarkY Fixed.
  • "to Sarah Macomb along" any context as to who she was?
    • Gray check markYg Sadly, I don't know; I am pretty sure she is one of the Macombs for whom Macomb County was named, who owned property around that area. I think that it would be possible to track down some sources and write an article on her, but I don't want to draw the parallel without solid sourcing for it.
  • "of Wayne County. The Wayne County' repetitive.
    • Green checkmarkY Fixed.
  • "addition to Sugar, Hickory, " overlinked.
    • Green checkmarkY Fixed.
  • "land on Grosse Ile" overlinked.
    • Green checkmarkY Fixed.
  • "nearby Powder House Island and Stony Island, used Fox" both overlinked.
    • Green checkmarkY Fixed.
  • "ferry landing on Stony Island, approximately" overlinked.
    • Green checkmarkY Fixed.
  • "138,875" over-precise, nearest $1,000 will do.
    • Green checkmarkY Fixed.
  • "channel at Lime-Kiln Crossing".[29" already (red) linked.
    • Green checkmarkY Fixed.
  • "October 1, 1880 edition" comma after 1880.
    • Green checkmarkY Fixed.
  • "brought it safely to Elba Island.[38] " overlinked.
    • Green checkmarkY Fixed.
  • "sturgeon" could link as you already linked perch.
    • Green checkmarkY Fixed.
  • "constructed Powder House Island, would again explode' overlinked and "exploded again".
    • Blue question mark? I usually agree that the "would" formulation is stupid, but I kind of like it here. If you feel strongly about it, I'll change it.
  • "20 short tons' avoid starting sentences with numeral.
    • Green checkmarkY Fixed.
  • "Grosse Ile alone" overlinked.
    • Green checkmarkY Fixed.
  • "known for having good " already said this...
    • Green checkmarkY Fixed.
