Possible future refs
I'm planning on expanding this article in the near future. I'm just placing the following refs here for easy reference, mostly for my convenience. Thought it would be better than spamming the article with random refs. :-)

SkyGazer 512, what does ... Observations on December 8 and show of December 12ed ... mean? The Rambling Man (talk) 11:59, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
- @The Rambling Man: Fixed, thanks for catching that. I don't know how that managed to stick in there, considering I had proofread the article several times.--SkyGazer 512 Oh no, what did I do this time? 12:50, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
- No problem, looks like a drag/drop text shift issue, happens to me all the time. Glad to have been of service. The Rambling Man (talk) 12:52, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
- With all due respect, it does looks like you (TRM) were actually the one who accidentally created the problem in Special:Diff/868010215. That's why I had thought I proofread the article and didn't notice the error! But it doesn't really matter who exactly did it, it's fixed now. :-)--SkyGazer 512 Oh no, what did I do this time? 03:20, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

Yeah really
I suppose that someone is trying to be some kind of jerk by concealing which of the Hawaiian islands this crater is located on.Lathamibird (talk) 01:37, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
Why would you talk like that? This is a useful, interesting article written by someone who wants to share their knowledge with you. You could look it up on Google, and contribute to the article. FiftusTheSixth (talk) 03:23, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
Ratio
"The lake, as confirmed by the U.S. Navy, has a depth of 248 metres (814 ft) and a much lesser width of 50 metres (160 ft), making the depth to surface area ratio of the lake greater than any other lake in the world." That's less interesting when you realize it depends on how big a puddle has to be before we define it as a lake. Although the article specifies width but not area or length, the length must equal or exceed width by definition, so the depth to area ratio is unlikely to be much more than 0.1 m/m2 (depending on shape). A puddle might have a length and width of 0.3 m and a depth of 0.1 m, for a depth to area ratio of over 1 m/m2. Similarly, there are presumably ponds that break that "record", without attracting attention or being called lakes. Art LaPella (talk) 01:47, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
The intro cites 500 meters. The "Lake" section says 50. Might be worth clarifying that. FiftusTheSixth (talk) 03:17, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
- Huh, I don't know how the heck I managed to add that extra 0 in there. Thank you so much for pointing that out, FiftusTheSixth, and sorry for that confusing silly mistake; I'll try my very best not to let something like that happen again!--SkyGazer 512 Oh no, what did I do this time? 03:22, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
