Talk:Marker Wadden

"emerged"
The use of this verb (an over-literal translation of the Dutch "ontstonden") suggests that this article was written by a Dutch-speaker who did not bother to have the English checked. "Emerged" would imply that the island was already there and rose up out of the water (whose level had fallen), whereas in fact - like all the islands in the project - it was created by spraying sand from elsewhere onto the bed of the lake. A passive verb such as "was created" or "was completed" would be more idiomatic English, so I've changed this.213.127.210.95 (talk) 14:32, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
