The Satellite Picture

If compared with google map, it seems the left side of the picture is the north, which is really strange. Sinolonghai 23:22, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Classical Mongolian lost

The classical mongolian name for "Qinghai Lake" has been lost or never entered correctly. I've edited out the ?????? characters from the article -- if anyone can supply the unicode for these chacters that would be great. technopilgrim 21:18, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Classical Mongolian

The existing name is in SimSun 18030 font. It does not seem to be quite correct when compared with the CMS Ulaanbaatar font for these two words as given on the Linguamongolia website, although the transliteration is correct. I do not know how to add the words in this font to this page. FitzHugh 00:04, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How deep is it?

How deep is it? --Atikokan (talk) 23:20, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Chinese Wiki gives an average and maximum depth of 21 metres (69 ft) and 32.8 metres (108 ft). Both numbers are unsourced though, and unless surveyors account for annual variation, the size of a lake is of course variable and not well-defined. Also, could you keep your signatures on the same line of the last line of your comment? --HXL's Roundtable and Record 00:12, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Map

A map would be good, showing all or much of Asia, or all of China and the location of the lake -- 65.94.171.217 (talk) 07:09, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A map showing where this lake is located (a year later) would still be good to include in this article! 173.88.241.33 (talk) 03:20, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A map showing where this lake is located (two years later) would still be good to include in this article!! 173.88.241.33 (talk) 23:19, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fwiw, there already was one when this last complaint popped up. — LlywelynII 06:36, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There isn't one now. It really would be helpful to have a map showing the lake in China as a whole (or in Asia as a whole). Kdammers (talk) 05:04, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a location map of China to the infobox, that should make it clearer. Esiymbro (talk) 07:51, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Teal??

The unsourced translation of མཚོ་སྔོན་པོ། as "Teal Lake" is erroneous. ་སྔོན་པོ in Tibetan means blue. See e.g. [1] or, if it's up, [2]. 188.218.87.34 (talk) 06:49, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if it's wrong and you have good sources to back yourself up, WP:BEBOLD. — LlywelynII 06:36, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ENGVAR

Fwiw, this edit established the usage of this page as British English. Kindly maintain it consistently, pending a new consensus to the contrary. — LlywelynII 06:38, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
