[edit]

In history of Port of Lowestoft it sais that lake lothing used to be natural freshwater lake however; lake lothing was deliberately flooded with seawater to create man made Port of Lowestoft thus it was no longer a lake. It became saltwater river. Could someone please correct this mistake on lake lothing artical and give me feedback. (Timesdoors (talk) 22:14, 22 April 2011 (UTC))[reply]

Hmmm, well given as you wrote that part of the "artical" (interesting spelling by the way, do try and catch errors like that please), I sort of wonder a bit about this request. Some background reading suggests that historically things really aren't as simply as all that (I'm not convinced the lake should be assumed to have ever been properly freshwater for example - Suckling is worth looking at for example). I'll see if I can get a proper look at the history to allow some proper work on these articles - been awful busy cleaning up after a couple of trolls don't you know. These articles could really use some improvement rather than the sorts of edits that have been occurring recently. It's really odd that they've been attracting the wrong sort of editor. But, if you cac cite it (the specific page citation you added to the Port page does not, fwiw, say what you said it does) or write it reasonably then go ahead. Make sure to read all the intro to editing stuff really carefully though and remember that you have a sandbox to try things out in before you try them out on real pages.--Blue Square Thing (talk) 23:46, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The article says it *is* a saltwater lake btw. It say nothing about what it was. Given it crosses over with the Port article, I'd not be that bothered about adding too much more here if I were you.Blue Square Thing (talk) 23:49, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
