highest (tectonic) lakes

[edit]

What does phrase this mean? What are tectonic lakes? Are there natural lakes that are not tectonic? The article links to plate tectonics, which is a huge article that covers tectonic theory in general. Bomac, could you be more specific? --Michalis Famelis 23:30, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

[edit]

I think Small Prespa Lake should be merged into Lake Prespa. The article on Small Prespa Lake is small enough to be easily merged into this article, andd there's no real need for a separate article. Inks.LWC (talk) 05:58, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ι don`t think is a good idea. Lakes have different borders.--Vagrand (talk) 10:35, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

detail

[edit]

the phrase "of the total surface ..." should be moved from the collective description of the two lakes to the description of the Great lake a few lines below. pietro151.29.143.193 (talk) 11:20, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

but the things are more complex: I have a 1:300_000 road map of Greece that shows the two lakes essentially connected by a canal (crossed by a bridge) in the strip between them.I feel necessary to state clearly if they are a single body of water or two and if the total surface refers to the Great or to both — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.29.143.193 (talk) 11:43, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

also the total surface somehow disagree with my data, that are 273 km2 (my sources include the Britannica 1993)

WIKI-IT states that the waters drop 4 m in crossing the strip — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.29.143.193 (talk) 11:50, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

the two maps are fairly different and are different also from my map mentioned above. The right map shows the strip between the lakes as a simple strip, the left one shows it T-shapes, the stem of the T being what in my map is the St. Achilius island, while this name is placed where my map has a smaller unnamed island. the right map place S.A. in agreement with my map.

My map shows the ruins of the St. Peter abbey on the Golem Grad island — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.29.143.193 (talk) 12:09, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

According to WIKI-IT, Mali Grad should house a church dedicated to Mary — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.29.143.193 (talk) 12:18, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

maps for infobox

[edit]

@Beat of the tapan: I see you reverted the pushpin map on the grounds that the map of Albania of "Not an improvement. Albania is not the only state where the lake is located within". What pushpin map would you suggest we use as for those not familiar with the close location? I'm not trying to define that this lake is only in Albania, but it was as good as the other pushpin maps at a country level. Wolfgang8741 says: If not you, then who?

copied from Talk:Lake Ohrid: Hey @Wolfgang8741, I see where you coming from (for both this and Lake Ohrid). A pushpin map of North Macedonia does not work either especially being land-locked. I think multiple pushpin maps may work, one for AL and NM, if possible. Or some kind of interactive map, again, if possible. Beat of the tapan (talk) 23:29, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tone

[edit]

The description in the Tourism paragraph reads like an advertisement or sensationalist piece. Definitely not encyclopedic tone. TynoPk (talk) 13:25, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Thank you for bringing it to attention. It has been removed. If anyone has any WP:RS about tourism, they can restore the section with an encyclopedic tone. Is there any other tone issue that you've noticed in the article? StephenMacky1 (talk) 22:09, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
