Talk:Salt lake

message: Endorheic seems to cover salt lakes pretty well. It just doesn't follow naming conventions of using nouns as titles, perhaps we can merge that article here too and leave a redirect at Endorheic? - Mgm|(talk) 10:49, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

message: # Oppose - there is only one possible meaning of salt lake.  There is also a link to the disambiguation, should anyone miscapitalise a link to one of the items named Salt Lake.  This is an excellent example of why the policy quoted contains the word "usually" - that is, it need not be rigorously applied in examples like this. Warofdreams talk 00:38, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Three and Four are different numbers 

message: Spotted Lake is a small, salt lake near Osoyoos.  One can see it from the highway as they pass by...  you can stop on the side of the highway to get a long look at it but it is on private property though so one cannot get to the lake shore.  Someone did anyway & I would have but I had little time so I didn't.  It was amazing though; the person WALKED ON THE LAKE!  I never thought that was possible.  The concentration of minerals & salt or so great here that you can walk on the lake.  How this amazing location does not already have an article on it I do not know.  
I will do some research & then I will make it's stub...  I got pictures too & a video I found on Youtube of it.  Lately, I've been kind of lazy & doing research I've just put off.  I have to break away from this bad habit! AndrewEnns (talk) 06:06, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

message: That exceeds the most saline lake of which I can find evidence: Don Juan at 44% or thereabouts.  Moreover, 'hypersaline lake" mostly has reference to "more saline than the ocean", which is what it says in both the lede paragraph and in the linked article.  I don't have time to find the cited book just now and do a decent edit, so I content myself with a tag. Robert A.West (Talk) 19:35, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  50% salinity??? 

message: Almost none indicated in the text. Nobody can check and amend content according to the sources you probably used.
"Some of the last 18 salt lakes" shows up twice and is very poor. Shall users start counting? "Some" - which? Names will be added; will you adapt the number each time? Arminden (talk) 11:04, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  No sources, no logic ("some of the last 18 salt lakes" = ?)
