Hello there, I'll take up on this :D VincentLUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 09:44, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Initial comments:

  • The gallery section has a bit too many images for quite a "short" article. Perhaps take some out and leave it under Commons.
  •  Done
  • Please bear with me as I am more accustomed with British formats.
  •  Done
  • Based on this url, I am not too sure if it is a copyvio or a mirror as I can't access the site. Please do let me know thank you!
  •  Done Yes, definitely a mirror. They copied straight off my first paragraph and abruptly ended their sentence on their website as not dependent upon good seasonal (off Earwig) which doesn't make sense. What I created was - they were not dependent upon good seasonal weather conditions. --Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:46, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Checklinks in general showed no problems, but I did mention some connectivity issues down at discussion section.
  •  Done

Lead

[edit]
  • "Some logging companies bought dozens at a time because of the time they could save in their labor costs to get the same work done in the same time period otherwise." this sentence looks disastrous. Rephrase?
  •  Done


History and use

[edit]
  • The picture with this caption "Typical lumbering as done by George A. Mitchell when he developed out Cadillac, Michigan." Why was George A. Mitchell never mentioned within the body? If he is related I would like to see more about him or else the caption needs rewording for relevance
  •  Done


  • Please provide page number for Reference 1
  •  Done


  • "They extended the timber extraction season for the logging industry in the North Woods of Michigan, by removing the need for frozen icy ground to traverse. The logging wheels were a set of oversized wooden wagon wheels that were specially designed to carry felled trees up to 100 feet (30.48 m) long, several at a time that otherwise could only be pulled out of the woods one at a time." I don't think Reference 6 really cites what is going on here. Could you please elaborate or something?


  • Refs 7 and 9 are dead. Compulsory to cite them as they look likely to be challenged
  •  Done

Sizes

[edit]
  • "a quite considerable investment for the time." this looks a bit original research


  • "...creating a stabilizing, low center of gravity." Hmm I am on the fence about this since I do not see this cited in the magazine. I am a physics student so I understand this but I am not sure if other readers can assume so.


  • Reference 18: page number please

Locations containing logging wheels

[edit]
  • I wonder if this can be written in prose to explain more about these locations which may have factories around for this or something I am just giving an example.
  •  Done


  • I am not able to check reference 8 and 12 as I cannot connect to them. Any alternatives you can provide?
  •  Done
  • Reference 8 is not fleshed out properly. I need to click around many links to access where each location is cited. Please provide inline citations for each location.
  •  Not done sorry, I should have clarified. It should be inline for at least those locations where they are not wikilinked to the landmarks themselves. Some of these locations, such as Redding, California, is not cited in the reference unfortunately. VincentLUFan (talk) (Kenton!) 05:55, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
