Talk:Lake Dardanelle

message: I'm amazed that our normally sharp-eyed viewers have let the apparent hoax below remain without at least a comment for nearly a week. Equally amazing, when I tried to find a more legitimate news source than the one cited, I could find none. The source, Rock City News, admits that it is a spoof site (on another site) and even says that it is "...Arkansas' most unreliable source."  Humor has its place, but not masquerading as fact in Wikipedia. Whoever put this on Wikipedia should not be allowed to edit, at least without adult supervision! In my opinion, this is simply another form of vandalism. Bruin2 (talk) 00:41, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

message: FYI searching on "Helgo" causes the page Helge to load without a disambiguation page to indicate you might be looking at the wrong article. In English most accented letters tend to be ignored during searches; thus users will find the wrong page consistently.

Talk:Pitt Lake

message: I'm always a little skeptical of these kind of claims, so I looked into it briefly and found a number of somewhat conflicting pages. About Pitt Meadows says: "North America's largest tidal lake". Pitt-Addington Marsh WMA says: "Pitt Lake is the second largest freshwater tidal lake in the world." Estuaries FactSheets (Australia) says: "Lake Macquarie, the largest tidal lake in Australia (area approximately 110 sq km)". This lake is saltwater. Also, Lake Ellesmere is a tidal lake, apparently. Its wikipedia page gives its size as 180 km², which is much larger than Pitt Lake but also a bit hard to believe. In any case I'm not sure there is a clear definition of "tidal lake", and in Lake Pitt's case it is probably important that it is a freshwater tidal lake. Even then there may be some uncertainty about what exactly counts as a "freshwater tidal lake". For example, Merrymeeting Bay in Maine is called a bay, but it is a freshwater tidal "estuary" drained by a river. It is probably smaller than Pitt Lake, but still serves to illustrate the need for definitions. Anyway, I'm just going to do my standard "one of the world's largest..." substitutions.

Talk:Peoria Lake

message: If you look at a map, the north end of Peoria Lake is north, not south of McCluggage bridge. Will (Talk - contribs) 00:13, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Correction on the northern end 

message: In the 20th century, the mouth of Farm Creek was split in the name of flood control.  One branch follows the original route of the creek.  The other branch was directed north of I-74 into the lake.  The relatively fast water flowing into the upstream direction of the lake resulted in a delta forming.  Plus, just south of I-74, where Walmart is now, used to be a power plant.  Fly ash was deposited to the north of the East Peoria foot of the Murray Baker Bridge (I-74).  This polluted the lake.
Also, there used to be a series of islands in the middle of the lake.  Those were eliminated, possibly in order to simplify barge traffic.  This also encouraged the water in the lake to slow down, dropping its sediments.  In places, the lake became only a couple feet deep.  Starting in the 1990s, a replacement island was built using old barges.  Today, you can see this just north of the McCluggage Bridge.  It appears to have been named Peoria Island.
I don't have sources for this, but I figure the project members might know of sources that can be used.  Army Corp of Engineers? Will (Talk - contribs) 00:27, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  US Navy - "... a floating dry dock, ..." 

message: There is some dispute regarding the relevance of an article section devoted to Robertson's Yard.  I do not dispute editor  Dave Souza's claim that Robertson's Yard "[has] been and is still to some extent a notable feature of the lochside."  However, the content of that section doesn't really say anything about the Holy Loch which is, after all, the subject of the article.  The section spends many words discussing the boats built in the yard but nary a one about the loch.  Boats and the history of boats and their builders are interesting topics, but, those topics should be reserved for their own articles.  The same (or markedly similar) words regarding Robertson's Yard are also part of the  Sandbank and River Clyde articles -- both cases more acceptable because the Yard is closely associated with Sandbank and ship and boat building with the Clyde.
I deleted the Robertson's Yard section and created a See Also section so that there was a link to the  Robertson main article.  I did this because there is an article that discusses Robertson, his yard, and his boats.  This is why there are simple links to Sandbank, Strone, Kilmun, etc: there are existing articles covering these topics.  This usage also makes article maintenance easier because the information resides in a single place.  I recognize that there are complex topics that require summary discussions of related subjects necessary to the understanding of the complex topic.  The Holy Loch article is not such a one.
The Robertson's Yard section and the reference to Robertson's Yard in the introductory section should again be removed in favor of a See Also section with a link to the Robertson article.
