Talk:Lake Winnipeg

Untitled
This article says:
 * It is the eleventh-largest freshwater lake on Earth.
 * It is the eleventh-largest freshwater lake on Earth.

Is that in terms of surface area, or volume, or something else? By surface area, I think Lake Superior is the largest, but by volume, Lake Baikal is bigger because it is very deep, and so contains more water than Lake Superior. So it makes a difference which way you measure it. Michael Hardy 03:17, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

The article uses the word "pristine" three times in the opening paragraphs despite the fact that Lake Winnipeg is in severe crisis with many experts predicting it could be a dead lake within as little as ten years. The lake is suffering from extreme algae blooms due to the excessive amounts of phosphorus entering the lake. Little is mentioned of this fact which makes for a very incomplete article. Also how about some decent photos, including at least one of the North Basin? --142.161.155.159 (talk) 02:07, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Do HDR photos belong on Wikipedia?
This article features an extremely unrealistic HDR photo. Is it appropriate for such photos to be used in an "encyclopaedia"? --24.224.255.154 (talk) 15:48, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Algae population and pollution
This portion of the article seems to have been copied verbatim from some sort of report with no references contained within the writing. Bubbledhs (talk) 06:31, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I agree. It appears to be a copy-and-paste from an essay, or school paper of some sort.  There are references at the bottom on the inserted text, but not cited specifically.  Further, the text needs cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards.  Formatting, spelling, copy-editing are needed, and also some fact-checking and improvement.  I have added a cleanup template to the section, and I will do some cleanup today.  Feel free to help out, Bubbledhs!  —fudoreaper (talk) 22:12, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

This section should be removed.

This section is not verifiable!

This section exhibits blatant plagerism!

The editors the "Algae population and pollution" section of this aritcle have exhibited very poor norms required for basic journalism. 66.43.253.135 (talk) 21:50, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
