quake lake

After recent earthquake in China, the Quake Lake has been in news. It appears that "Quake Lake" is general term used for lakes created after an earthquake. However, this article only describes lake in southwestern Montana, United States. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.129.237.147 (talk) 04:18, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Quake lake" being used in this sense is probably colloquial, but I've linked this article to landslide dam, which explains the general phenomenon.--Pharos (talk) 02:08, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Passed Souls list

Does anyone think it might be possible to get a cituation for the list of deaths?James.Denholm (talk) 00:41, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering that too. I hate to sound callous, but I'm not sure if the list of names is that helpful to the article... the exact number and a link ought to be good enough. --Explodicle (T/C) 14:38, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I visited this lake in 1985. They said they had to clear the blockage in the canyon caused by the earthquake so water wouldn't back up and weaken the earthen dam. The earthen dam and lake were already there when the earthquake occured. It wasn't created by the earthquake.
