Talk:Lake Hāwea

message: In  I removed the following source previously used to support lake depth:
* 
The source was added in  and I originally intended to try to fix the ISBN error, but given that the depth figure was added in  (when it was presumably already backed by the new Britannica general reference) the extra inline ref didn't seem to add anything, especially given that a calendar is not readily verifiable.  So I ditched it instead.  If you must have a ref I did also find this rather dated but otherwise much better ref, which also supports the depth figure but gives slightly different values for altitude and area (altitude, area  depth ).  That old page is also related to some newer content that has less detail.  I didn't add either of those because the Britannica values are presumably more current.

Talk:Lake Hiawatha

message: Undid vandalism to this article. T-bonham 06:24, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I just wanted to drop a note here to let editors know that the Hiawatha Golf Course has been at the center of a controversy over a proposal to reduce the size of the course (see this article, for example). Some people involved in the debate have been trying to craft a false narrative about the history of the course in order to bolster their claims. So if you see battling edits cropping up, now you know why anyone would be invested in this topic. I've been involved in advocacy on this issue so I am not unbiased, but I promise to make only edits that are factually verifiable.
There are currently some claims in the article about Hiawatha being the first integrated course in the area, which I am going to remove. If you read the nomination for historic designation, for example, you will find that other municipal courses in Minneapolis and St. Paul were hosting black golfers well before Hiawatha GC opened in 1934.

Talk:Lake Starnberg

message: The box on the right side of the article states Basin-Countries: Norway. This seems implausible to me. I'm not familiar with the exact meening of the term basin-country, but Lake Starnberg neither drains the country of Norway nor discharges there. Dispite lying on the same continent, I see little geographic relation between Lake Starnberg and Norway. 
According to my assessment as a local, Lake Starnberg only drains a small area located completely within Germany. Its outlet water flows through the rivers Würm, Amper, Isar, Danube, and finally flows into the Black Sea at the Danube Delta located between Romania and Ukraine. (This can be tracked through the corresponding articles.)
Can someone please confirm that, and change the value of Basin-Countries accordingly?

message: Kawaguchiko is translated in the title as Lake Kawaguchi. This is fine, because the ko at the end translates to lake. 
However Yamanakako is has been translated as Yamanakako instead of 'Lake Yamanaka'.
To further complicate things, most English maps available the Yamanashi province use the naming convention Lake Kawaguchiko. This naming convention is redundant, as it basically means Lake Lake Kawaguchi, but the fact the entire japanese name is kept in tact might help with communication problems.
Wouldn't it be best to stick to the same convention as the maps found in the area? People who cannot read Japanese may become confused.
