[edit] Oooh la LA!

And in other news, it turns out that there's only one ocean on Earth (the Arctic-Atlantic-Indian-Pacific-Southern), the various "seas" are just a myth, and Michigan is itself actually two states, because there's a lake separating the two parts of it. OK, I'm being difficult; there's enough real-world usage of this term (e.g. NOAA, the US Amry, U of Wisconsin) to dispel the "original research" accusation I was going to make. But they'll always be two separate lakes to most people. And I appreciate that the article here doesn't take the tone ("historical inaccuracy in the naming", "mistakenly given two names", "incorrectly believed") of the referenced web page.

Yeah, um...hopefully I've addressed that concern. :-p Tomer^talk 11:17, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Really, then why was Lake Michigan deleted; it doesn't even exist as a redirect?Skookum1 08:19, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

They have their own articles: Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. Pfly (talk) 03:49, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Largest lake in the world

According to List of lakes by area, the Caspian sea is in fact more than four times larger than Michigan-Huron, and Caspian Sea also reinforces its classification as lake (not a sea). Should this be revised? 24.208.253.57 (talk) 02:18, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

It could also be changed to 'largest freshwater lake.'24.208.253.57 (talk) 02:20, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

The Caspian Sea is an ocean, not a lake. The Caspian lies over oceanic crust between continental plates; the Great Lakes are gouged out of continental crust. kwami (talk) 02:24, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
