[edit] Well done

Nice article; quality references, great photos. One small quibble would be the "Misc" section. This has just one sentence, so I think it would be better to work into some other section. Johntex\^talk 19:43, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Johntex. I'm not sure who added the "Misc" section. Wasn't me. :) Personally I'd remove it, and save that tidbit for a future article about the Foote brothers, it has little or nothing to do with the dam, per se. I'll search the article history and see what I can find, perhaps suggesting to whoever put it in that they start articles on these guys... their story (as I found researching this article) is pretty fascinating, as is the history of Commonwealth Power (later Commonwealth Southern, later Consumers Power and other operating companies, later CME) itself. Me, I need to do articles on the Hardy and Rogers dams first though. I've the pictures already (see Commons for Hardy, they're already up... Rogers to follow as soon as I've drawn the locator map). ++Lar: t/c 20:38, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Good article

This article is well written and meets all the GA criteria. My only suggestion for the future is that the final sentence could probably be best presented as a footnote. Johnfos 07:42, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

I moved it to the "Other notes" section, as since it was referenced it didn't work well as a ref :) Thanks for the review. ++Lar: t/c 18:19, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi Lar. Good to see that you're interested in taking this article further. But I think I didn't make myself clear above. When I spoke of the "last sentence", I meant the sentence in the Other notes section. So I'm suggesting that the short Other notes section be removed and material incorporated into the main text or a reference. Thanks. Johnfos 20:34, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Ah. You mean the bit about the hospital? See above. Personally I don't think that belongs in the article at all, it belongs in a bio. So.. should I put the power output back where it was and blow that hospital sentence away? Or what? I would ask that if I'm still not making sense, just make the change! :) ++Lar: t/c 21:13, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

I think that looks better now. Thanks... Johnfos 00:57, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
