Is it pronounced eerie or airy? -- Tim Starling 13:32 23 Jul 2003 (UTC)

I fixed the pronunciation. If you said it as it was written before, it would sound like "Ih-uh-reee". I'm pretty sure it sounds right, now. -- 132.161.137.1 ( talk) 20:47, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
It was the last of the Great Lakes discovered by the French explorers, who had followed rivers from Lake Erie into Lake Huron. This doesn't seem right. And should we mention lampreys as well as zevra mussels? Wetman 06:08, 3 Feb 2004 (UTC)
I was hoping to find the SIZE of the lake here, how about adding width & length as well as depth... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.62.20.252 ( talk • contribs)
Where the page gives the surface area of the lake in acres, it is wrong. It is far more than 470,000 acres. By comparison, the Allegheny National Forest is about a half-million acres, so if the figure of 470,000 were correct, Erie should be smaller than the ANF, but anyone can look at a map and see that is not so. This erroneous information is sourced; however, the source is probably listing only the acres of the lake claimed by the state of Pennsylvania. Whoever sourced that was not a careful researcher. Earlier in the article, the size of the lake is given as 9,940 square miles. Since a square mile is 640 acres, the correct acreage is 6,361,600.
Erie carries more ship traffic than other Great Lake, & has more shipwrecks on the bottom as a consequence. Trekphiler 00:26, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
I noticed some vandalism on the top bit. I'm not sure who to edit this, so I'm just trying to get soemone who does and show it to them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.161.30.45 ( talk • contribs)

The links to the EPA and Michigan DNR are dead. When I found the DNR link it was dataless and promotional. Why is there a big article about lake michigan coho in there? Aren't there any Lake Erie specific history of fishing articles? There are also several links to secondary literature sources that are interesting but derived. There should be much better links for lake effect snow available. Avram Primack ( talk) 15:28, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

I've removed a bit of excessive use of quotes from news sources which were simply promotional in tone - for example: although it can get "pretty darned cold on those piers" just isn't good wording for an encyclopedia. Another bit removed was a short section entitled: Towns along the lake which consisted solely of:
as I see that as purely promotional especially under the heading of tourism.
Another longish quote was under the section Windy conditions
which came of as rather a bit of pov pushing and could better be rewritten in encyclopediac tone. Those were but two examples. Vsmith ( talk) 20:59, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
(copied from talk page)
The article's lack of a modern map indicating the lake's geographical features (islands, bays, etc.) and surrounding cities is a curious omission. For that matter, there is not such a map accompanying any of the main articles for the five Great Lakes. Starling2001 ( talk) 19:00, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Centigrades are not correct in this article. Anything below 32F is negative in centigrades. This article translates two <32F degrees to positive (not freezing) centigrades: "18 °F (10 °C) to 23 °F (13 °C)" 18F is -7.7C and 23F is -5C. 208.191.221.220 ( talk) 18:19, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

Centigrades are not correct in this article. Anything below 32F is negative in centigrades. This article translates two <32F degrees to positive (not freezing) centigrades: "18 °F (10 °C) to 23 °F (13 °C)" 18F is -7.7C and 23F is -5C. 208.191.221.220 ( talk) 18:19, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
