On 26 September 2021, it was proposed that this article be moved from Lake Taupo to Lake Taupō. The result of the discussion was moved. |
Can someone put in a geo.position spot roughly for Taupo?
Use Taupo township (at the north end of the lake), which is 38.41S 176.7E

The text regarding the effects of a Taupo eruption on the Maori and Japanese cannot possibly refer to the Oruanui eruption since this took place some 26,500 years ago. I believe that this text should be moved to the paragraph discussing the 181 AD eruption . . . I would have performed this edit, but I couldn't locate corroborating support after a quick search this morning. Can someone else confirm that this text move is warranted?

What is the source for the date (AD 181) of the most recent eruption? And what is the range of uncertainty of the date? It seems to me that the evidence for this date ought to be cited in the article. Richwales 04:30, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
I believe the latest date is 230 AD. I can't remember the specific evidence, but it was given in a talk by Dr Colin Wilson (of IGNS, who is one of the authorities on the TVZ). It is cited in a book on NZ volcanism by Bruce Hayward and Geoffrey Cox, and I know Dr Hayward would not give the date if he didn't have good reason to believe it. User: pkeestra, 18.20, 26 December 2006 NZT
I looked up this date; it is quoted in Sparks, R.J., Melhuish, W.H., McKee, J.W.A., Ogden, J., Palmer, J.G., Molloy, B.P.J. 1995. 14 C calibration in the Southern Hemisphere and the date of the last Taupo eruption: evidence from tree-ring sequences. Radiocarbon 37 (2): 155–163. User: pkeestra, 19.00, 26 December 2006 NZT
the dates on the page now show eg as "180 CE", not as "180 AD". Why? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.237.69.146 ( talk) 21:35, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
References
The reference to the presence of Short finned Eels in Lake Taupo is incorrect, and is fact one of the more unusual facts about the lake.

There are no eels in Lake Taupo, the reason for this is that eels need to go to the sea to spawn, and between Lake Taupo and the sea there are the Huka Falls, although adult eels would be able to go down these, the young eels returning from the sea would not be able to go back up them. User: tome23, 0943, 24 April 2007 NZT
Perhaps a section should be introduced on the evidence collected by Doc, Environment Waikato etc, which shows that the clarity of the water has been getting steadily worse over time. The test involves dropping a white disk into the water until it cannot be seen. Nitrate leaching due to farming runoff has implications on the trout fishing industry where the numbers of smelt have been steadily decreasing along side the average size of Trout based on published Doc figures. -- Zven ( talk) 04:48, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Lake depth varies depending on source. I dont know where the depth used came from but other depths found at
Gosh, which one to use.
Also according to * http://www.ilec.or.jp/database/oce/oce-01.html total Length of shoreline is 153km not 193km as posted in the main page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.111.128.4 ( talk) 22:51, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Lake Taupō/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.
This article says that nobody was on New Zealand at the time of the eruption, stating that the Maori were the first inhabitants of the island. This is patently false, as much evidence exists, and is recorded in many books on the subject, that New Zealand was inhabited by other groups prior to the Maori, including the Moriori, celtic peoples, and others.

I note that according to the New Zealand Gazetteer, there is no official name for Lake Taupo. I suggest if anyone is keen to have the name changed to Lake Taupō, this should go through a formal move proposal. Schwede 66 20:46, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved. ( closed by non-admin page mover) Vpab15 ( talk) 19:26, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
Lake Taupo → Lake Taupō – Initiating a move request per the above conversation to get input. Given that the settlement on the shores of the lake uses a macron ( Taupō) and that the Māori names for the lake are Taupō-nui-a-Tia and Taupōmoana, it stands to reason that the name of the lake should also have a macron on the ō. It is worth noting that, while the lake doesn't have an official name at all, the unofficial name recorded by the NZ Geographic Board is Lake Taupō / Taupōmoana. While it is true that WP:NZNC only specifies that we must use a macron when one is in the official name, I think that - given all other instances of the word use Taupō over Taupo - there are sufficient grounds to also move the name of the lake. This is also consistent with the recent shift in New Zealand English to use macrons on Māori words where they are required. Turnagra ( talk) 04:08, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
Making a discussion here per the guidance on WP:Edit Warring. HTGS has re-added the macronless spelling to the lead multiple times, which I believe isn't worth having - especially with wording that implies it's also a correct spelling. Other pages with macrons do not do this (See, for example, Lake Wānaka, Lake Ōhau, Tūrangi or Whangārei) and it only serves to confuse readers about whether or not a macron is needed. We don't start the article for Hanmer Springs by saying (also called Hamner Springs) so I don't know why we'd list an incorrect and outdated spelling in this instance.
