:I included a section on infections and hot springs with some references. This could be much longer but this is just an introduction. Eventually an interesting separate article on infections in hot springs could be written.--Filll 20:46, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: And on the beneficial effects of spring waters?  Hmm.  I probably have two sources for that, I'll dig them up and boil them down.  (SEWilco 03:55, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I propose to split the article up and remove the partial listing of hot springs around the world to a separate article. It is unwieldy and sort of a mess right now, to be honest.--Filll 13:49, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it started as a little list of major sites and now should go join the other "List of..." articles.  The U.S. map shows that just in that area the entire Rocky Mountains zone is full of springs.  That's due to a submerged continent's worth of water trickling up, but implies there can be other rather large areas full of points to be listed. (SEWilco 19:19, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm going to remove it now. The words "nudist", "nudism", "nudity", "naturist", etc, only occur in the template, they appear no where in the actual prose of the article. If the nudity WikiProject is to add solid content to the article, then it can go back in. Gentgeen (talk) 20:01, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

message: For the definitions listed in the introduction, the two instances where the temperatures are listed as "above mean air temperature," the conversion factor of C to F is 1.8x, not 1.8x+32 since it is referring to a temperature difference rather than a temperature. Therefore 6.5C is 11.7F and 8.3C is 14.9F.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.84.134.252 (talk) 06:16, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Herpes as a risk? 

message: The above claim is made in this and other wikipedia articles.
In Serbia is located world hottest spring. World's hottest water by far is hot water spring in Vranjska Banja (111°C).[citation needed]
The only citation - and it is a very new and scientific one is at http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/reservoir-capital-corp-20mw-potential-estimated-vranjska-banja-geothermal-project-tsx-venture-reo-1609489.htm  this confirms the 96 degree water of this spring. however the page only claims this as the hottest in Serbia.
To my mind any boiling hot spring will be of that temperature and there are truely 1000's of these through out the world.  Not to mention geysers and their superheated boiling explosive vents.
The Serbia claim smacks of being "world famous in Serbia"!  I'll leave this a week or two and will remove the "hottest" claim from this and other pages if no one objects. Andrewgprout (talk) 05:55, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

message: The section on the ambiguous definition of the term "hot spring" itself seems ambiguous or redundant.  Most seem to be just different ways to say warmer-than-surroundings or hotter-than-human. (And don't some even boil?)
There are also some vague references to what I'm guessing are either about where the water comes from or the method of its heating.  Further clarification of the distinctions would be welcomed.

thread_title:  Clarify definitions section, please 

message: It is stated that Lake Heviz is the second largest thermal lake. It is also stated that Boiling Lake is the second largest hot spring. Thermal lake redirects to hot spring, and depending on definition, may or may not be synonymous to it. ZFT (talk) 22:40, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
