Talk:Lake Accotink

message: It is rumored that Lake Accotink has cottonmouth snakes, which are semi-aquatic venomous snakes.  Personally, I have only seen northern water snakes below the dam spillway.  Is someone able to provide evidence of cottonmouth presence?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.18.248.196 (talk) 05:34, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  notREED? 

message: There has been much talk about Soviet Union using too much of the water from the rivers causing Aral sea to dry out
However, an referring to what is said below - The word 'Aral Sea' is not once mentioned in this article. Isn't that quite remarkable!
The main contribution seems to be the reduced flow in Amu Darja river, historically the larger of the two rivers feeding the lake.
The Aral Sea has shrunk since first half of the 20th century , faster since about 1970 and very fast after the fall of Soviet Union and the reason then seems to be the sudden appearance of this now more than 5000 square kilometres large lake in the middle of a former dessert.
The extremely poor water management in south Turkmenistan where water is diverted to a canal was obviously not enough. The tiny residuals should by all means be hindered to reach the Aral Sea by creating this lake. 213.204.219.122 (talk) 06:30, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Mooselookmeguntic Lake

message: i doubt anyone will revert me on this but i'm posting here to put what i couldn't fit in the edit summary .... no, Mooselookmeguntic Lake  isnt the longest placename, and it isnt particularly close.  There are a lot of place names composed of many words, just to start with.  For example, Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts is longer even without counting the dashes.  And some placenames have short names and long names .... consider the full length name of Los Angeles for example.  Even if we restrict it to the longest word  within a name, it still doesnt win.  
If we want to put this back in, we'd need to put so many conditions on that i think it would cheapen the  novelty of the name, which is beautiful just by itself.   Let's just leave it the way it is.  —Soap— 19:20, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

Good Job Alexander on your edits!  However, it looks like you made some edits for three different Wikipedia pages.
