Talk:Hypersaline lake

Comment

The units of measurement of salinity on this page should be unified (since when is a magnitude of the salinity of oceans a standard unit or measurement) to percentages. --97.77.52.170 (talk) 18:38, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

"The most saline lake"?

Do variable seasonal precipitation, in- and outflow not effect the salinity level, depth and size of a lake? (E.g. Lake Tuz in Turkey dries up almost complately in August, making it possible to walk on a 30 cm thick layer of pure salt.) If so this article should contain a list of hypersaline lakes rather than claims that a certain one is superior in such aspects. 94.123.45.58 (talk) 09:24, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

And that "best known" bias is so childish! Best known by whom? It only reveals the ignorance of the one making such a claim. "Mostly advertised" would at least sound self conscious ;) 94.123.45.58 (talk) 10:57, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

Added a "see also" of List of bodies of water by salinity. I think that would address the concern and seemed to belong in the related links. 98.240.229.140 (talk) 02:45, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Edit misunderstanding

Resolved

An editor reverted me, clearly misunderstanding the point of my source. I have addressed the matter on his talk page, and am placing my edit back in place. 98.82.3.81 (talk) 04:41, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

The above user is a suspected sockpuppet of User:Wiki Historian N OH. The user added a snarky comment filled rant to my talk page, nothing was "addressed".

I have again reverted the edit as the reference the user gave does not back up what the user is adding to the page. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 04:52, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Anon user was blocked as a sock. Marking resolved, feel free to blank at anytime. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 05:23, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

It's interesting to note that this issue was marked as "Resolved" by the above editor at the point where he got me blocked for supposedly being a sock puppet. Fortunately, his claim has been proven to be utter bullshit.

Anyway, as yet there is no evidence that he understands how absurd his position was (he actually claimed that I needed a source to verify that the Great Salt Lake was hypersaline, even though this is a basic fact of geography known to anyone who has read the Wikipedia article on the same.) He said my source didn't back up my "claim", but he mistakenly thought that I was using the source to prove that the GSL was hypersaline, when in fact I was using the source to show the variability of the GSL's salinity. I hope that he comes to the realization that the 6th grade science we're dealing with in this article is over his head, and that he'll leave it to those of us who finished high school. 98.82.3.81 (talk) 02:37, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Araruama lagoon

I've heard Araruama lagoon is the largest hypersaline lake by surface area in the world. Is that true? Aminabzz (talk) 16:04, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
