This page needs more info on the geography of Tai Lake, especially relating to the Tai Lake basin (e.g. how it was formed, distinctive features etc). Bohaskan ( talk) 12:31, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
Not only does the grammar and logic need to be fixed, but there are too many opinions here. Save that stuff for Wikitravel. dq 17:01, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
I'd suggest that "Taihu Lake" is not a correct name of this article. The name Tài Hú literally means "Grand Lake" in Chinese (Tài for "Grand" and Hú for "Lake"). Naming it "Taihu Lake" will cause a redundency in the literal meaning ("Grand Lake Lake" ?).
I'd suggest that "Lake Tai", "Tai Lake", or simply "Taihu", can be appropriate names of this article.-- supernorton 05:21, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia's naming conventions.This article has been renamed from Taihu Lake to Lake Tai as the result of a move request. -- Stemonitis 13:26, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
The result of the move request was no move. Consensus seems to be in favour of moving the page, but the new title is disputed. Please feel free to re-request a move if there is consensus for a new title. PeterSymonds ( talk) 01:53, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Lake Tai → Taihu Lake — Per adjusted WP:NC-ZH, Category:Lakes of China, supported by Google Scholar. -- TrueColour ( talk) 21:26, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
Google Scholar (compiled by Yaan, see above) 657 "Lake Tai", 1990 for "Lake Taihu", 1250 for "Tai Lake", 5320 for "Taihu Lake".
The result of the move request was: To move the page to Lake Tai, despite the disruptive editing the nominator participated in to gain this. It should be noted that although you disagree with someone's comment, it should not be scored out or blanked from the page. Also, assuming someone is immediately a sockpuppet because they agree with someone else that you don't, is not the best way to assume good faith. Kilo T 19:35, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
Taihu Lake → Lake Tai – 1) As has been belaboured upon previously, the "hu" in "Taihu Lake" literally means "lake". This is possibly the only feature in China that I know of that has this redundancy.
2) TrueColour would be false now...The feature name guideline at WP:NC-ZH does not endorse the usage of "hu Lake" or "shan Mountain", which are both redundant.
3) I would prefer Tai Lake as this syntax more closely reflects that of Chinese, but as has been shown above with the evidence, "Lake Tai" is a more common name than "Tai Lake"
4) TrueColour is ultimately a sock of the banned Tobias Conradi, so the last RM in mid-December 2009 was procedurally void. –HXL's Roundtable and Record 14:05, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
The section on the ferris wheel seems unsubstantiated and talks about some 'city center' view but never divulges about any specific location around the lake. If this is the ferris wheel in Huzhou, then unfortunately, it gives no view of the actual lake. (i know, i went on it yesterday, i live in Huzhou) Megatonman ( talk) 15:54, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
Sorry, I've found it's in Wuxi, the north side of the lake not Huzhou on the south side. Updated the article as such. [Mega]
Might need to be removed anyway (as above) but whoever is putting the anchorlink directly in the section title: stop it. There is never a good reason to do that. Leave it in the line afterwards or above as you like, but don't ruin the section title formatting and make real incoming links that much harder to provide. — LlywelynII 03:57, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
As much as it pains me to mention this, the last decade of this ngram is pretty damning. Lake Tai's been on top for the last two centuries but, in the last decade, people seem to be using "Taihu" much, much more. I think it's a ridiculous name, but we shouldn't really be judging people because of that.
Scholar more or less backs up the ngram:

I'm fine with ignoring all that and keeping the page where it is (maybe all the scholars are observing some PRC diktat that doesn't reflect usage in other countries?) but what do y'all think? — LlywelynII 07:41, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Lake Tai. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
