Talk:Lake Charvak

Which infobox

As this is about a lake, I think it should have {{infobox lake}} rather then the ones for towns. -- User:Docu

The main advantage of the "town" infobox is that it has a map that shows the location of the lake -- something that you cannot show in the "lake infobox". I often use "town" infoboxes for things other than towns because of the great pushpin feature. In my opinion, the value of the pushpin map for the reader far outweighs the formality of having a lake infobox for a lake. If you are strongly opposed to this view, please feel free to remove the "town" infobox and keep the "lake" infobox -- but having two infoboxes with duplicate location information in one tiny article is awkward. --Zlerman (talk) 13:02, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

I would think that at some point people maintaining infobox settlement would complain, but apparently they haven't come across it (or nobody maintains that one?).

Anyways, since November the article has grown and provides new elements about the lake that can't be included in the infobox settlement, but nicely fit into infobox lake. Thus I added this one instead. - January 2009 -- User:Docu

Tcharvak or Charvak?

The article name is given in French transliteration Tcharvak instead of the conventional and more common English transliteration Charvak. The reason is historical: the article was created in April 2008 around a great photo of the lake, which came from a French source and accordingly referred to the lake as Tcharvak (Lac Tcharvak.jpg). Of course Lake Charvak redirects to Lake Tcharvak, but I still find the principal name awkward and possibly against Wikipedia naming conventions. My suggestion: move the content of Lake Tcharvak in its entirety to Lake Charvak and create a redirect from Lake Tcharvak to Lake Charvak. Is this acceptable? Please discuss below. --Zlerman (talk) 03:51, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

This aint a lake

Charvak isn't a lake but a reservoir. Its water is used by Charvak powerplant to produce electricity. I would thus suggest renaming this article to Charvak Reservoir.
