Talk:Kluane Lake

message: A glacial ice dam broke because of a receding glacier. This reversed the dam formation during the "last mini ice age" a long time ago.  The water going into the lake through Slim's River (and onto the Bering Straight through the Yukon) is now headed to the Pacific directly west.  This happened over a few days a couple years ago.

Talk:Lake Kournas

message: There was previously an article at title "Kournas" which was mostly about the lake, but also partly about the village, and had interwiki links to articles about the lake on other Wikipedias, in particular on Greek Wikipedia. A new stub about the village was created at "Kournas Chania", as a partial translation of the Greek article on the village, and with interwiki link to a different article on Gk Wikipedia. I moved this new stub to a title with comma, copied the section of text which referred to the village from the lake article (with appropriate notice on both talk pages), moved the lake article to Lake Kournas, and redirected Kournas to target the village, not the lake. I think this leaves everything in a better situation than before. I'm putting this note on talk pages of both articles to clarify the history. PamD 15:50, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

message: Is there any reason why this should not be placed under the English title for this lagoon, "Thau Lagoon"? --Bejnar (talk) 19:32, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: One reason might be that it is hardly ever referred to by that title. I've never known it used, other that in the Independent article sourced (other articles in UK newspapers don't do it - see Guardian, 1 Aug 2009, Guardian, 4 May 2013, Guardian, 5 Aug 2006, Guardian, 12 Nov 2005, Glasgow Evening Times, 2 Sep 2014). On most English language maps it's Bassin de Thau; official French sources refer to either Etang or Bassin as do most English language guide books; English navigation guides use French. Besides, what's wrong with using the name the French use - it's their lake? Emeraude (talk) 11:23, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: I am not sure what you mean by "linguistic imperialism".  The Wikipedia guideline on naming conventions says If a particular name is widely used in English-language sources, then that name is generally the most appropriate  It seems to me that thousands of uses of "Thau Lagoon" is pretty wide, and that usage is even more prevalent in academic works which tend to be reliable sources. --Bejnar (talk) 20:36, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Maple Lake (Polk County)

message: Removed line stating Maple Lake is renowned for fishing and watersports.  Maple Lake is widely regarded as an extremely poor lake for fishing.
First of all, you didn't remove the line about "reknowned for fishing and watersports".  Second, however, that would be a mistake.  Perhaps the word "reknowned" is wrong, but Maple Lake is in fact a watersports mecca for that area of the country, and your assessment that Maple Lake is "widely regarded as an extremely poor lake for fishing" is neither historically accurate nor true in my experience.  Like most lakes, it helps to be familiar with it, and to fish when the personal watercraft (formerly water-skiers) are asleep (i.e., anytime before 2pm).  But there are fish in that thar lake, en' youse kin ketch'im if'n yor able to!!!  Third, you didn't sign your entry, so in Wikepedia-ese, you are not entitled to your opinion anyway!!!

Talk:Shannon Pot

message: It is in County Cavan, and 
traditional source of the Shannon. The Shannon has other sources but this one you can see and even drink from.
The Shannon is named after Sionnan, the granddaughter of  the God of the Sea. 
At this spot, the old Druids had planted the Tree of Knowledge. And when Sionnan came to eat the fruit, the waters of the pool rose, dragged her in, and drowned her. It went on flowing and made the Shannon.
All oul legends are the same you might say. But the Shannon Pot is there. It is strange because although quite clearly a pond, there is no water flowing in, it flows out. Furthermore, it is no still pond. Sometimes it is as turbulent as a boiling pot, sometimes it is just simmering. It is deathly quiet. 
And like the standing stones in Augnacliff – there is nobody there but you. Nobody to explain, to conjecture, to guess, to talk, or to ask for your money. It's not really a place to read about, it is a place to experience, and wonder that something so ancient is still there for everybody who wants to have a look. The fields are muddy.
