Title issue
[edit]Like Cahilty Lake, British Columbia, if this is about the lake, it should be titled Devick Lake (British Columbia). The comma format is supposed to be for localities/communities. This, like Cahilty Lake (both in thes same area I'm pretty sure - NE of Kamloops) is probably both; i.e. a ranch/locality (though not a post office - ??) but also a physical lake. Seems redundant to have both, but if this article expands and is about the Devick family, it's a community article, not a lake one; the lake one would only ever be a stub, whereas the community/locality one might become something more if the history of the ranch and area is expanded upon (as it probably may be over time).....Skookum1 04:26, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
- Two good examples of this are Williams Lake, British Columbia (for the city) and Williams Lake (British Columbia) (for the lake the city is built around); and Christina Lake, British Columbia (for the community) and Christina Lake (British Columbia) for the lake. If there are no other Christina Lakes, or Devick or Cahilty Lakes, anywhere in the world, the (British Columbia) can probably be omitted. There are obvious exceptions to this, as in Lake Cowichan vs. Cowichan Lake, British Columbia, with the latter the community article, the former the geographic one (which if it exists is probably Cowichan Lake -??

- hmmm, turns out Cowichan redirects to Lake Cowichan, British Columbia, which though written largely as an article about the lake seems intended to be about the community, as is the format of its title, and by the inclusion of {{tl:Communities on Vancouver Island}}.......Skookum1 04:31, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
- If you write two lines about the lake, it would be clear which is meant. I'd contribute a infobox lake - User:Docu
