message: Just wondering, are there any alligators in Lake Lanier? I suppose it would be possible but rare? Any definitive answer? Any other dangerous critters (poisnous snakes, etc) to be concerned with when vacationing there?
Thanks.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.133.42.16 (talk) 06:02, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

message: A map of the lake showing it's location in Georgia would be helpful. A picture without any relative reference is pretty but not much use

thread_title: Map

message: 01-Feb-2008: The table for OCT/NOV/DEC/JAN was added to show 32 record-low levels ending 2007, plus 1 month before/after as daily comparisons. However, further data should be summarized: if data in February, March, or April (etc.) becomes notable, perhaps just mention particular days in the text, or if needed, create a 2nd smaller table with just Feb. 1, Feb. 15, March 1, March 15 (etc.).  If record lows occur again in Nov/December 2008, a new daily table might be needed, in a new section for "Drought 2008" describing if new stolen cars or more firearms/etc. are found at the lake bottom. -Wikid77 (talk) 08:27, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Levels after January 2008

message: 01-Feb-2008: The table for 2007 OCT/NOV/DEC/JAN was narrowed using "width=270px" on the table specs (see: Help:Table).  Further narrowing could be done with columns OCT/JAN by using small-font, such as 1056.3 for each number, plus reducing width=230px.  I would avoid small-font numbers in the NOV/DEC columns, because some browsers don't allow bold for small lettering.  A new table of semi-monthly data could use all small-font numbers to appear as a tiny table.  Bear in mind that some people hate tables or images or anything not "word-ipedia" so expect opposition just as anywhere else. -Wikid77 (talk) 08:27, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Table format options

message: Although I initially agreed that the removal of the table would be best I think its presentation has improved significantly and now merits inclusion in the article.  I was reading through the caption for it and I think it could use a bit more information.  First I think there should be a better information as what is meant by "New low levels are shown bolded."  I assume this means levels lower than the previous record but I only gathered that from the talk page, so it could be more clear.  Additionally a table of numbers is useless without some sense of scale, I think the caption should also include the fact that full pool is 1070 ft and "deadpool" is 1035 ft.  I have found these numbers on various places around the web, I think 1070 is in the main text but I'm not sure about the 1035.  Even with it in the main text however many readers, myself included, like to skim the article first to get an overview of how its structured, etc, before reading the main text.  Looking at it from this point of view the table caption would be almost unintelligible.  Finally, I mentioned "deadpool" and I see we don't have an article on this.  I don't know enough to start one but if anyone here knows more about the subject its a great opportunity to get another article going.  -AndrewBuck (talk) 15:44, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I removed the "Confederate Army" text before "Poet Sydney Lanier".  It is irrelevant to the article and the CSA army did not have "poets".  kevinw33 (talk) 15:48, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I do think that it could be relevant (the Daughters of the Confederacy may have tried to turn him into the "Poet of the Confederacy" right around the same time that the lake was made, which would create a direct connection between his Confederate status and the reason the lake was named as such), but I need more sourcing before I re-insert that.
