FYI – The GRV does not have the deepest lake in the world in Lake Tanganyika. Lake Bikal in Russia is the deepest lake in the world. Lake T. is the second deepest.

Thank you, Debra, for pointing out that mistake. Lake Baikal in Russia is indeed deeper, making Lake Tanganyika the second deepest lake in the world. The text has been revised to correct that statement.

I did not actually reply to your comment yet i only saw it today, if you or some else replied to it yourself in the meantime. Please would you be so kind to make reference to where in the article the largest lake and also the mention of Lake Tanganyika, as the mistakes. As far as it was written it really makes reference to new data and information which means, previous records may be overtaken with some of this new information. And if New World Encyclopedia published the information i cited, why do you feel the need to point this out as my mistake in the article, should you not update your information instead. Let me know please dear it is very productive to keep our information’s up to date. Thanks, and kind regards
