Possible Discrepancy in Area
editThe two Atlas of Canada links give different area figures. I have emailed Natural Resources Canada for a clarification. --papageno (talk) 18:15, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
- Have received an email back from Natural Resources Canada that confirms the 1,061 km2 net figure (area of the lake excluding the area of any islands in the lake) given by the second listed reference; the 1,011 km2 figure given by the first listed reference is a typo and will be corrected. The 1,151 km2 total figure (area of the lake including the area of any islands in the lake) given in the second listed reference is unchanged and is the area figure listed in the article. I've asked at the Infobox Lake discussion which of two figures, net or total, should be the one used. --papageno (talk) 19:11, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
