Talk:Mere (lake)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Perhaps more appropriate for Wiktionary than for Wikipedia? MikeLHenderson 15:40, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
As for "mere" being important enough to justify its own page, clearly there should be a page that mentions what a mere is. But perhaps this should be
There is a list of "types of lakes" on the page for "lake". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake#Types_of_lakes It would make sense, as far as I can see, to merge this page with that for "lake". 80.176.151.208 20:29, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
As for a reference, I would give: The Development of Vegetation in the English Lakes, Considered in Relation to the General Evolution of Glacial Lakes and Rock Basins W. H. Pearsall Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Containing Papers of a Biological Character, Vol. 92, No. 647 (Nov. 1, 1921), pp. 259-284
as an example. But I'm not expert enough on geography or limnology to say whether this is the definitive reference. In fact, I doubt that it is the best reference. 80.176.151.208 20:33, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Notability
The only person who would not find the subject worthy of note would be the one who is determined to remain ignorant and an encyclopaedia is not the place for him.
The subject is much more worthy of note than the assorted pop 'singers' and soap opera 'actors' who have a mention.
Rather than discussing the deletion or merging of the page, get on and write an article, adding what you know and leaving out what you don't. Remove only that which is misleading. If in doubt, discuss it. That is where this page comes in.
That's the way Wikipedia works. (RJP 12:36, 13 March 2007 (UTC))
[edit] IJsselmeer
Having made a spelling check, I find that I have reverted an edit which had changed Ijsselmeer to IJsselmeer. I have no special knowledge of the correctness of either but was guided by Microsoft's software. I find that some atlases have it one way, some the other and in some it is all in upper case so I have left the reversion to stand. If you know the double capital to be correct, please put it right. If so, please leave a note here as I am intrigued to learn the reasoning behind it. :) (RJPe (talk) 11:11, 10 January 2008 (UTC))
