Oh, that is awful. There is no rush at all and I hope you recover soon. Emailing you. — The Most Comfortable Chair 16:33, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Doug Coldwell, I had been caught up with a few things but it is all sorted now. I'll review this first thing tomorrow. — The Most Comfortable Chair 06:30, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

[edit]
  • "Demolition was averted when the Straits of Mackinac municipality" — Using "St. Ignace" would be more precise and in sync with what the prose reads in "History".
  •  Done


  • "octagonal" — Was it "hexagonal" previously (as per the prose in "History")? If so, it could be clarified here as well as in the prose.
  •  Done


History

[edit]
  • "The current lighthouse was originally" → "The lighthouse was originally".
  •  Done


  • "The lighthouse was originally built in 1998 as an architectural folly at the Monroe Welcome Center on Interstate 75 near Monroe, Michigan." — Should mention that it was built by the Michigan Department of Transportation.
  •  Done


  • Link — "Interstate 75"; "Welcome Center"; "Michigan Department of Transportation"; "St. Ignace".
  •  Done


  • "the location of the small tower," — I would recommend using "structure" or "the lighthouse" instead of "the small tower".
  •  Done


  • "The move, repair and erection cost $50,000" — Does this include the previous $20,000? It could be clarified here.
  •  Done


  • "Half was provided by the Michigan Waterways Commission. Small community donations paid the rest." — Could be combined to avoid too many

successive short sentences.

  •  Done


Wawatam Pier

[edit]
  • Link — "Straits of Mackinac".
  •  Done


  • "are still visible" — "were visible as of YYYY" should be preferred.
  •  Done


  • " tall wooden statue honoring Chief Wawatam" — "Chief Wawatam" is slightly confusing because that is also the name of the railroad car ferry. Just "Wawatam", as he is referred to in his article, should suffice.
  •  Done


The light today

[edit]
  • "The light today" — It is best to avoid using "today" wherever possible. Would you consider renaming the sub-section as "Status", "2006–present" or something along those lines?
  •  Done


  • "The new Lighthouse is duly noted on newer navigational charts. The light operates year-round." — I would suggest you merge them.
  •  Done


  • Unlink — "Straits of Mackinac".
  •  Done


  • "150 listed (including historical and now demolished)" — Is it possible to stratify how many of them are still functional?
  •  Done


References

[edit]

Citations

[edit]
  • "Rowlett, Russ" — Needs "accessdate" parameter.
  •  Done


  • "Wawatam Lighthouse, St. Ignace, MI" — Since it is an unofficial blog by a random person, this source will have to be removed and/or replaced.
  •  Done


  • "Booker, Ted" — Needs consisting date formatting.
  •  Done


  • "farlane" — Use "Michigan in Pictures" for "website" instead of "WordPress.com" for "publisher". "farlane" should not be in small caps and the title should not be in all caps, per WP:TITLECAPS.
  •  Done


  • "Ann, Robin" — Is a dead URL. Since the fact is sourced by other sources and Redbubble is not the most reliable source, I would recommend removing it.
  •  Done


  • "Travel the Mitten" — Use this with the "website" parameter instead.
  •  Done


  • "USCGCGC Katmai Bay (WTGB 101)", "USCGC Mackinaw (WLBB-30)", and "U.S. Coast Guard Sector Sault Sainte Marie" are deadlinks. You will find new links here. Should probably archive these pages because of their history of changing URLs.
  •  Done


  • "First Annual Traveling Lighthouse Festival" — Is a deadlink. Need to either find the new one or replace the source.
  •  Done


  • "Absher, John" — Needs "work" and/or "publisher" parameter(s).
  •  Done


  • "Tri-centennial Light, Detroit Michigan" — Should be replaced by a non-blog source.
  •  Done


It is way too sloppy of me to respond this late, and I sincerely apologize. This will be all and the article should pass. Thank you everyone for contributing to this lovely article. — The Most Comfortable Chair 20:52, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
