Talk:Christmas Lake

message: I've added a 'graph about the 1st 2 rounds of anti-invasive treatment, based solely on the Star-Trib's coverage (which Google News picked up) in reporting on the occasion of the 2nd round. IMO it should be worth looking back for coverage at the time of the first round.   IIRC, the species is well established in the Great Lakes via ocean-going ships, and many localities purport to enforce practices (hull-scrubbing of road-portable pleasure boats when they are loaded onto trailers?) to impede the inadvertent transfer of ZM larvae between lakes; presumably sport-fishermen visiting Lake Superior (or perhaps L. Mich.) were (at least indirectly) responsible. Perhaps its potentially close-knit landowners, or the M'haha-Creek District, will formally or informally pursue a witch-hunt, and even recovery of mitigation costs.--Jerzy•t 18:27, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

Talk:List of lakes of the Czech Republic

message: The merge of List of ponds of the Czech Republic into this article would make a more consistent Wikipedia experience. It is not clear why pons actually are larger than lakes nor why fish stocking practice should matter in keeping different articles where they can be differentiated in a single list as bodies of water.

replies: text: Oppose This list is listing non-artificial lakes only (as Czech word for lake jezero refers only to the non-artificial lakes).

message: I've added a link to Volcano Island, although the article with that name refers to the group of Bonin Islands near Japan. I don't believe Volcano Island (Philippines) belongs to this group of islands, as it is in fact an island in Taal Lake on an island of the Philippines. Therefore, I believe the redirect from Volcano Island (Philippines) should point to the article Taal Volcano instead.

Not a generic descriptor of some generic thing. This is the same deal as the NFL Draft. This should be automatic for needing an RM. Whenever a title is up for move, all aspects are up for possible consideration. Given there have been multiple previous discussions, it's a huge stretch to assume that nobody noticed it was a proper name that shouldn't be proper. – wbm1058 (talk) 23:42, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: No problem. Goodness knows I make plenty of these sort of slip-ups myself. References to the old burial ground (which is what brought me here) are, incidentally, extremely thin on the ground. One of the few I have is John Wilson's The Works of Professor Wilson (Edinburgh, 1857 p.422), which notes, in its section 'Remarks on the scenery of the Highlands': "The loch, more or less sylvan from end to end, shows on its nearest shores some magnificent remains of the ancient forest, and makes a noble sweep like some great river. There may be more, but we remember but one island - not large, but wooded as it should be - the burying-place of the family of Lochiel. What rest!" From this I doubt the cemetery has been used for about 200 years. It is a listed monument but I have never seen any reference to an archaeological survey and from a purely historical perspective, it sounds, given the considerable importance of the Cameron clan, to be a spot about which more should be known. The forest to which Wilson refers is of course the old Caledonian Forest, which once covered much of the Highlands but now exists in its pure state only in a couple of spots in the Cairngorms and on a few loch islands, of which those at the western end of Loch Morar are probably the best examples.
