Could somebody who knows about the 1287 wall break and flood that killed 50,000 write about that in this entry? This is an interesting fact and since it is a timely anniversary I would like to place this article on te Main Page at least a few days. --mav 00:30 Dec 15, 2002 (UTC)

I found this in Dutch: http://www.waterstaatsgeschiedenis.nl/tijdschrift/tvw2001november/sneekermeer.htm - Patrick 02:53 Dec 15, 2002 (UTC)

This is the St Lucia flood; one of the more serious floods in The Netherlands. However it's not specifically related to the Zuiderzee. Its force has had impact throughout the Dutch coastline. Aliter 13:08, 21 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Do we have a page on floods or storms, somewhere? Aliter 03:54, 26 Nov 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Cat: Former lake vs. Shrunken lake

I tagged this as a former lake, as there is currently nothing called the Zuider Zee; it could, however, be argued that the lake has been artificially shrunken into IJssel lake, in which case, the cat: Shrunken lake would be appropriate. The two categories are theoretically mutually exclusive. Ah well, one cat is better than none. samwaltz 22:23, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Of course, Zuider Zee was never a lake... (not that I have any real objections to the category inclusion) Ben Hocking ^{(talk|contribs)} 22:53, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
