Deepest lakes
According to the list of the deepest lakes in the world, Te Anau is deeper than Wakatipu. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lakes_by_depth —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.213.204.122 (talk) 09:02, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

How about some references?
There's obvious errors in this list. E.g. Lake Pukaki is much larger than Tekapo (look at them side-by-side in Google Earth!), yet this list tells me Tekapo is larger! Also, South Island lakes especially have changed over time (hydro power schemes etc). Without a dated, verifiable, reliable source, this list is meaningless. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.118.179.155 (talk) 23:05, 17 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I also note that Lake Ellesmere is listed as 5th= in the table at 180sq km but the Lake Ellesmere page says 197.81sq km which puts it easily in 4th place. Some sort of published source attribution for each measure seems appropriate. Fivey (talk) 05:37, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Photos
I've uploaded a photo of Lake Selfe to, just in case that this inspires somebody to write an article about the lake.  Schwede 66  19:18, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Dab
I see you’ve changed a number of links to point to Christchurch City, which I note is a dab page.  Schwede 66  17:41, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
 * OK - I'll fix that. Thanks. Grutness... wha?   21:02, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

Southest
✅

Hi it says Southest. Is this a typo for Southeast or Southwest?  Ϣere Spiel  Chequers  18:24, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Checking the map I'd say West South West.  Ϣere Spiel  Chequers  09:43, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Formatting error
All the pictures shunt the table down the page in an unattractive way that I do not know how to fix. 119.224.134.13 (talk) 09:57, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
