Move?[edit]

Nice job - however I think this article should be named "Western Brook Pond". This is how this feature is named virtually everywhere including in all of the references. It's not really a fjord per se; it's fjord-like or a former fjord. Staib (talk) 23:36, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I expanded the existing article without changing the name, but I tend to agree with you on the name. Silverchemist (talk) 02:30, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Western Brook Pond/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 The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

I disagree with the stub rating for the article. While short, it contains an infobox, photograph and references. The article contains information about the history and unique aspects of the lake. It has been featured in WP:DYK on the Wikipedia Mainpage. Silverchemist (talk) 03:16, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
