message: I took this sentence out "was the only other English speaker at the meeting. There is no known record of that discussion.[1]" and its reference because they met on a US Naval ship (thus there were "probably" several people onboard that spoke English). Also the translator published a book which is availible for free online that outlines the two leaders' conversation (thus negating what was previously said).Richard ruffian (talk) 03:13, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Why is it called "bitter"? Is this just a local variety of saying "saltwater", or are there actually other ingredients which make the water taste bitter? (Epsom salt comes to mind...) --BjKa (talk) 09:15, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

message: The Molluscan Species [sic!] section is excessively detailed, especially compared to the rest of the article. For example, it includes two long tables listing every molluscan species found in the lake. The section is the work of DinaGedeon, who hasn't contributed to any other article.
It is written in an un-encyclopedic style and sounds more like a school report, for example: "Here we discuss and describe how different molluscs absorb different types of heavy metals at different rates. Heavy metals are not corrosive and thus subsist in the environment once released. Here are examples of these metals: Pb, Fe, mercury (Hg), Cd, arsenic (As), Cu, chromium (Cr), etc."
I would suggest the section be rewritten and summarized. --ehn (talk) 05:42, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

message: You say it's trivia. It's not. Then how come this incident is on the Suze canal page and the ships page?180.150.112.134 (talk) 14:41, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: For the same reason we don't have an item in the Tugboat article; we don't need to backlink every item mentioned in the 2021 Suez Canal obstruction. Wikipedia is not a collection of trivia. OhNoitsJamie Talk 15:03, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trivia? Really? 

message: It was there in the bronze age so what was the history of this lake, and how did it survive?  Did it have an underground water supply connecting it with the red sea (the Suez gulf) or the Mediterranian? When did it begin and when did it end. Was there any possible use of the water there by living beings and humans? פשוט pashute ♫ (talk) 15:27, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
