Talk:Lop Nur

message: I removed text saying that the remains of a nuclear test are visible at .  Those coordinates appear to be an active mine of some sort, possibly coal.  My geology is not up to the task of making a confident guess.  Basically, it looks like a small town surrounding a large black stain on the otherwise beige landscape with a black stained dirt road heading west-southwest. –BozoTheScary 22:00, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

message: In the book The Demon in the Freezer, the author, Richard Preston, states that a bioweapons production and storage facility is located at Lop Nur and is possibly responsible for the production of Variola Major, a deadly strain of smallpox.
The above  sentence was under  the See also heading in the article. If the information can be sourced (WP:V} and if the material is appropriate, it should go into the main body of the article.

message: Is there any point of having separate Lop Lake and Lop Desert articles? Both deal with the same area around the former lake, and the distinction is somewhat theoretical. The wider area is discussed in Taklamakan.--Joostik (talk) 13:52, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

message: I would suggest that we keep "Lop Nur" as this comes closer in English to the local pronunciation than "Lop Nor" (though neither is exact) and this form is also well-established and accepted in English writing on it. I was there last year and remember clearly how the locals pronounced it. Sincerely, John Hill (talk) 22:56, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Lop Nur or Lop Nor?

message: Can someone give the location of Taiterma Lake? It is not in Hedin's book or the Gizi map of Xinjiang. Benjamin Trovato (talk) 09:35, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Marked here to the south west of Lop Nur - , presumably west of Kara-Koshun and north east of Charklik/Ruoqiang, (perhaps roughly where a lop is marked in the Folke Bergman map given in the article). Hzh (talk) 14:39, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

message: What the article calls "human intervention" is put much clearer in the German-language Wikipedia article : Water from the river that were once flowing into the Lop Nur basin were used for settlements, and the rest from the Bosten-Lake was used to flow into the Yanji-basin, and because of that Lop Nur dried out, destroying a long-living biome. That's how II understand the German-language article. Even the initiators of the work to let water flow towards settlements "since 1949" is named. 2A0A:A540:32B0:0:A0BC:9196:6288:8B6B (talk) 10:18, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
