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. :-)

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)
"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)
Devils Hole far surpasses Kauhakō's depth to surface area ratio, although I doubt anyone would consider it a lake. 167.131.0.195 ( talk) 20:00, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
The intro cites 500 meters. The "Lake" section says 50. Might be worth clarifying that. FiftusTheSixth ( talk) 03:17, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
There's something wrong with the decimal point on the before_oxygen level isn't there? I wouldn't be sure enough to correct it myself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Backep1 ( talk • contribs)
Yes, 227.37% has to be a typo. FiftusTheSixth ( talk) 09:19, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
