Hey Kate, I think you have a good article that discusses an important issue. The main problem is that the article doesnt seem encyclopedic at times. The last section where you discussed what a person can do to help is too informal. I would recommend changing this and a few other parts around to make them more professional. I'll try editing a few things to show you what I mean. 1013-Dan 17:23, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey kate,
I thought you had a good paper with a lot of details. There was clear information that seemed to flow well with your topic. I felt that i kept up with your topic and became more knowledgable by reading your article. You had a few sentences that needed rewording, and a few grammar mistakes but other than that you have a well coming article.
Hey Kate, I just went over your article again and i think if you add a little more informtion to your last section on atmospheric pressure it could strengthen your article. Tonight i will look and see if i can find you some more information on that section. I didn't see any grammar mistakes but i will stop by tomorrow to check again. 1013-precious 04:27, 3 May 2007 (U
Hey Kate,
I was looking on the internet and found a website that may help you and give you more ideas. http://www.great-lakes.net/envt/pollution/aoc.html. Let me know if it help.19:05, 4 May 2007 (UTC) Theres also another site that has a special report gor the great lakes. http://www.ijc.org/php/publications/html/aoc_rep/english/report/index.html. 1013-precious 19:06, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
I've tagged the article with {{ inappropriate tone}}. Asking questions in the headings ("Why Are They Areas of Concern?") makes the article seem like an FAQ rather than an encyclopedia article. If you need some help with style editing, just let me know. ShadowHalo 23:04, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

This section is very strong in introducing readers to current policies that regulate pollution. However, I have three comments that could make this section stronger:
1) There are a lot of references to different policies currently in place like the Boundary Waters Treaty. However, there is only one citation for this entire section that does not reference where you found all of the policies listed
2) A current policy that is missing includes the The Lake Erie Management Plan (LAMP). This section fails to address that pollution can differ in each lake. Thus, this policy shows that there may be different regulations to address each of the different lakes. This source may be useful: https://www.epa.gov/greatlakes/lake-erie
3) The last sentence of this section was improperly cited. There is a quotation mark at the very end of the sentence, but there is no quotation mark that comes before to denote where the quote started. Thus, this could be a form of plagiarism if taken word for word. However, I looked at the citation at the end, and I think you were able to rewrite the concepts of the source in your own words. So, I would get rid of that quotation mark at the end to avoid any confusion. Also, the last part of the sentence is awkwardly written, " they can cause serious damage to the plant and animal life." I would rewrite this and be more specific to how and include any policies that address preserving biodiversity in the Great Lakes. Car24 ( talk) 04:48, 5 November 2016 (UTC)Car24
