[edit]

The lake contains a large island with a lake in it; in that lake, there are also a few islands.

Is this True? Where? What Island? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.79.89.207 (talk) 00;52;41,13 July 2007 (UTC)

Levels

[edit]

Regulation gives levels but without units these numbers mean nothing. JIMp talk·cont 18:06, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Namesake

[edit]

I think "the Canadian province of Manitoba, which the lake is named after" is a bit suspicious. Shouldn't it be the other way round, i.e. "the Canadian province of Manitoba, which is named after the lake"? After all, the name is thought to refer to a feature of the lake, and if the lake wasn't renamed somewhere after 1870, surely its name is older than that of the province? //Essin (talk) 02:54, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

According to the Government of Manitoba, the Aboriginal name of the lake was first used for a land area in 1868, when the Republic of Manitobah was proclaimed. I'll change the article accordingly. //Essin (talk) 09:27, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
