Lake Champlain?

Any particular reason Lake Champlain isn't on this list? Seeing that on the Wikipedia page for Vermont, it is stated that "Lake Champlain, the major lake in Vermont, is the sixth-largest body of fresh water in the United States". 75.68.158.39 (talk) 14:20, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

While you're at it, you might consider tossing in Lake Erie, since it has its own Wikipedia page, which notes that it is "the fourth largest lake (by surface area) of the five Great Lakes in North America, and the tenth largest globally[6] or thirteenth largest globally if measured in terms of surface area." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:8:A402:4B50:C81:6656:6040:2B30 (talk) 14:06, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect assumption: "Volumes given for lakes shared with Canada and Mexico are for the total volume of the lake." For a list of lakes of the United States (read: "Lakes in the United States"), the portion of the lakes in other countries must be excluded. This probably moves Lake Michigan all the way to the top spot, and it moves Lake Superior, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, Lake Champlain, and the Lake of the Woods down on the list.24.156.77.8 (talk) 22:19, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Correct sorting

I have no idea how to make this happen, but sorting by Capacity or Greatest Depth sorts incorrectly (2,000,000 comes before 19,000,000 even though the latter is larger). I don't even know if this is possible on Wikipedia, but if it is, someone who knows how should fix it. Lpreams (talk) 19:43, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Returned incomplete tag

Not only do our volume numbers often not agree with the only source listed on this page, there are several additional unsourced entries (many from Alaska but not all) and I saw at least two in the source but not on this page: Lake Koocanusa and Hungry Horse.
