[edit] Name

How about a better title for this article? How about something like "2005 New Orleans area levee failures" or "Levee failures in Greater New Orleans, 2005"? Note: I think wording should not exclude the breaches outside of New Orleans in neighboring St. Bernard etc and events related to Hurricane Rita. -- Infrogmation 19:26, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Since no one has objected, I will move the article to the the second of the two suggestions from the current title of "Levee and flood wall failure in New Orleans (following hurricane Katrina)". -- Infrogmation 17:47, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Where did the timeline information (sequence of levee failure) come from? I've read conflicting reports. If anybody has the reference, please e-mail me at aprescott@gmail.com.

[edit] Lack of sources

Well, there are about 4 sources for the whole article. But many sections do not have a single source. The information is not verifiable. — jdorje (talk) 07:00, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I thought this article had a reasonable level of sources. I count not 4 but 14 external links to news media, academic or government reports! Also some of the introductory /background paragraphs summarise content from other WP articles (linked), which have at least some level of sources within them. I am not saying the article could not be improved - one should probably at least check that all the links still actually work, and they could do with a bit of tidying up, perhaps using a reference section. It would help if someone could point out specific omissions so we can all concentrate on the problem areas. Has any one heard of the outcome of the Senate hearings, or the progress of the NAS investigation? Op. Deo 22:20, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
