  • Asarka - island in the Red Sea
  • Ben Bennett Park - Environmental Reserve in Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia
  • Bowser Lake (Lake in British Columbia, resting place of Simon Gunanoot) ("Mount Gunanoot". BC Geographical Names. British Columbia. Archived from the original on 2016-03-04. Retrieved 2020-08-11.)
  • Bozai Darya - river
  • Chongoni - mountain in Malawi
  • Disi aquifer - "A so called fossil water" in Southern Jordan and Northern Saudi Arabia where "Much of the water in the Disi aquifer essentially hasn’t moved since it began dripping into the ground during the Pleistocene era, some 30 000 years ago," and is radioactive. [46]
  • Faraglioni (Capri) - the three "famous" faraglioni located in the Bay of Naples, off the island of Capri. Don't you think they absolutely need an article, even better if translated from the Italian one? Thanks a lot ^_^
  • Floating Meadow - an ecological habitat of the Brazilian rainforest, where grasses clump together and form floating mats. Scientifically, this is discussed by Junk "Investigations on the ecology and production-biology of the 'Floating Meadows' (Paspalo-Echinochloetum) on the Middle Amazon". Other references are available here [47] and here [48]. In Europe the term seems to be loosely used interchangeably with "Water Meadow" or "Flooded Meadow" as seen in Wikipedia. However, this is due to the absence of an actual separate ecology in Europe making the distinction of less importance. There are many articles on Wikipedia which refer to floating meadows (such as the one on Piranhas), but unfortunately there is no article where the ecology is actually discussed.
  • Glaslyn (Montgomeryshire) - Lake in Montgomeryshire managed by the Montgomeryshire Wildlife Trust (http://www.montwt.co.uk/reserves/glaslyn) - do not confuse with Glaslyn in Snowdonia.
  • Hodges Seamount -
  • Hot Creek Fish Hatchery
  • Kufra and Sareer Basins -
  • Lake Spokane - created during ice age behind glacier, WA state, USA
  • Lake Moodie - small dry lake in South Australia. Small amounts of info can be found at: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC5D63K_lake-moodie?guid=7c2082b9-f291-4245-9e5b-027ef0d7635c , http://maps.bonzle.com/c/a?a=p&p=165500&ss=1600&cmd=sp&c=1&x=139%2E30896&y=-34%2E60222&w=343&mpsec=0 , https://www.google.com.au/maps/place/Lake+Moodie/@-34.602452,139.3074347,17.5z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x6ab9cb943c432659:0xf46ebd7b5ef26993!8m2!3d-34.6021134!4d139.308546
  • Last Chance Valley - A valley where Richard Stoddard claimed there was a lake filled with gold nuggets; is this different than Last Chance Range?
There is more than one Last Chance Valley. One is located "east of the Last Chance Range" in Death Valley [49]. Another is a historical valley in Plumas County, California, that is now filled by a reservoir called Frenchman Lake [50]. The latter is in the Gold Country and is likely the one requested.

Mount Sunday itself is called a "small hill" in the linked page, which calls into question its notability. Perhaps the requester wanted an article on the wetland? Gorthian (talk) 17:31, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The creek itself seems to lack notability; perhaps the requester wants an article on Tuscarora Creek Park? Gorthian (talk) 17:59, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Winton Wetlands (Winton Wetlands is a 8750 hectare reserve in north east Victoria, approximately 230km from Melbourne. Formerly known as Lake Mokoan, it is the largest wetland restoration project in the southern hemisphere) (https://wintonwetlands.org.au)
  • Zquala - a dormant shield volcano west of Addis Ababa, on the Great Rift Valley
