On this day...A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "On this day..." column on August 7, 2004.

Depth / volume graphic

[edit]

The vertical scale doesn’t match up with the graphic, (eg lake Michigan’s maximum depth of 925ft doesn’t match with the scale on the left). Also, the Lake Ontario block in that graphic is mis-sized vertically compared to the others.

Is a corrected graphic available? 72.73.26.250 (talk) 10:59, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Units

[edit]

Why does this article, like articles of all the Great Lakes, use imperial / US customary units first, despite that Great Lakes are also in Canada, a country that uses metric units? --40bus (talk) 22:15, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, of the five Great Lakes, four are partly in Canada and partly in the United States. The fifth is entirely in the United States. I don't say that's the reason, because I don't know. But there it is. And if the articles started using metric first, to begin with, one could then ask, "Why does this article ... [you can fill in the rest]," and secondly, the article on Lake Michigan would arguably need to be different. Uporządnicki (talk) 22:18, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
