This page is part of the WikiProject Limnology and Oceanography to improve Wikipedia's coverage of the inland waters and marine environments. The aim is to write neutral and well-referenced articles on limnology- or oceanography-related topics, as well as to ensure that limnology and oceanography articles are properly categorized.

Brown Lake (Stradbroke Island) has been expanded and improved. It is currently a stub article and I would like to request an assessment review.SnoMurWal (talk) 01:44, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
It looks like the article was re-assessed some time ago. This to-do could be removed Uninspired Username (talk) 01:49, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
West Point Lake Major overhaul done, attempted for B grade, soon GA status. Also check importance.
List of lakes - Setup outline and scope improvement for discussion see:Talk:List_of_lakes - requires collaboration on identifying 5 lakes per section globally for top level list. Then has TODO with a fraction of the redirects with potential for all the countries that need Lists of Lakes of created.
Split Infobox Lakes legacy titles to Infobox Body of Water from |name= to |other_name= or |native_name=where the <br> is found
Split Infobox body of water using <br> in the |name= field to |other_name= or |native_name=where <br> is found
Check names for other patterns like / has been used in a few
Tagging Redirects - to help with tracking of best practices tracking common name variant redirects like "in" vs "of" can be tagged with the project template which classifies as NA, but allows tracking if the redirect exists or is deleted where it may be a common variant. This or other proposal to help track linking would be good to develop. It would be good to have an overview of articles with possibilities just for WP Lakes instead of sifting through Category:Redirects_with_possibilities
Create or curate examples and text to Distinguish between List - Index - Outlines in context of bodies of water (looking at List of lakes these are conflated across the country list format)
Several members of WikiProject Limnology and Oceanography are involved in a Wikimedia grant aimed at connecting students, educators, and content experts to generate quality aquatic information. Several students are generating new lake articles or improving existing lake articles and it would be great to have some WP Lake wikipedians review some of the content before it goes live. If you're interested in reviewing, please add your username here.
Hi all! I was actually watching a video the other day about dangerous bodies of water and stumbled across this peculiar [man-made lake]. I was wondering if anyone who has gone here before would like to contribute some more information regarding their experiences visiting this place. I personally want to check it out sometime as well :)

(a large red lake in northern Chile flanked by two smaller yellow ones; not to be confused with Laguna Colorada, Laguna Verde, and Laguna Blanca, which are all in Bolivia.) There doesn't seem to be a lot of RS involving these lakes, but they appear to have an article on the Spanish Wikipedia (albeit with only 3 sources).
