As requested.....

Lead

[edit]
  • "Gardner Lake State Park is a 9.75-acre (3.95 ha)" - I think there's a noun missing here. Also this, and the other state parks shouldn't be in bold.
  • The second half of the lead looks like it was copied and pasted from another article. It would be worth rewording slightly to link things together, for instance : "The lake forms part of Gardner Lake State Park, a state park encompassing the lake and etc etc"

History

[edit]
  • I don't think "grocer" should be wikilinked
  • What happened to LeCount's house in the end. You can't just leave the story as "it fell into the lake and was stuck" - something must have ultimately happened to it. Or if it is still there, that should be mentioned. I see there is a nice postcard of the house
  • Similarly, there's no time period indicating when any of this took place

Parks

[edit]

Minnie Island

[edit]
  • "Leary writes" - this is the first mention in the article on Joseph Leary, so per WP:LASTNAME it should be spelled in full at this point

Images

[edit]
  • It's a shame there aren't any free images of the lake. The postcard picture of the house could possibly be used with a FUR that trying to describe what's in the picture is cumbersome and awkward.

Summary

[edit]
I did some fixes. I'll double check again in a bit - sorry for the delays. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 08:07, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Great. Give me a shout when you're done and I'll have a look through. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 19:42, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I had a check and all the issues now look resolved, so after a bit of a delay, I'm happy to pass this now. Well done. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 17:01, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
