[edit] State Water Project

Could you please let me know what you feel is inaccurate in the California State Water Project page? I'd like to find text we can agree on. Thanks. MarcusGraly 21:28, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Sure, please don't take offense -- I just feel parts of the article are coming from a dated and incorrect source.  :) The following statement, which reads like something from the 1980s is untrue: "Most of the water (roughly 80%) generated by the project is in fact used for agriculture, primarily in the San Joaquin Valley, as pumping the water over the Tehachapi Mountains is costly and Southern California has other sources of water such as the Owens River, Mono Lake and the Colorado River." The water delivered (the project doesn't "generate" water, that comes from precipitation runoff) is also to municipal interests. I'll show some numbers later.  :) MCalamari 00:30, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requesting Help On an Image "License"

Hello, I was actually hoping a Wiki admin would contact me about the Image:Hanseinstein.jpg I uploaded. I wasn't sure how to classify the image. Basically Hans Einstein was a UC Berekely professor that worked on Northern California water issues long before I was born. At some point in the 1950s, somebody took a photo of him working on one of the earliest models (an analog model) of the Bay estuary. The photograph ended up in the hands of the engineers working for the State of California at some point. While the photograph is now the property of the state and includes a caption on the back of who and what is on the photo, we still don't know *who* took the photo ... chances extremely are the photographer has since retired, but the photo was given to somebody else here who most certainly retired with the intent being to show other people that an Einstein worked on water related issues here.  :) I'm hoping that perhaps that since this photo has been passed down from engineer to engineer in a group that works on similar work, that it can be granted an acception even though the photographer is unknown. I've asked around and nobody knows who took the photo. MCalamari 17:18, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

If you can't find out who the photographer is, then the minimum you need to find out is if the image is copyrighted (if it's from the 1950s, there's a good chance that it isn't), and if it is, who owns the copyright to it. --Carnildo 04:45, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Darkwave

Please come back to the darkwave article. It's been hijacked by two POV-heavy individuals unwilling to compromise or see anything other than their POV and, having seen your last post, you made sense. Donnacha 00:09, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
