[edit] POV check
This should be WP:NPOV checked. Concerned it might be a WP:CFORK. ZueJay (talk) 11:51, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] POV tag
There are many benefits of dams which are related to the surrounding environment, (see Benefits of Dams), but these are not discussed in the article, and so the article is totally unbalanced. Johnfos (talk) 08:12, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
- I agree. This article could be split into two major sections, Positive impacts and Negative, and then do a summary of all of them. An article this short really would belong in the dam article. Fléêťflämẽ U-T-C 22:31, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
Disagree with merge. At the same time I agree that all impacts should be sourced and presented in neutral way, and the article should be balanced. I don't think that creating Positive impacts and Negative impacts sections is the best way to develop this article—probably the best way will be to keep separate section for every possible impact.

- Thank you for your comments. The merge was rejected by the Spotlight, as you can see here. Also, a new possible outline and work-in-progress page may be viewed here. Any further comments that you may have should be placed on the project's talk page. Thank you! Fléêťflämẽ U-T-C 21:59, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Article replacement
The old article Environmental impacts of dams was replaced with the current one on the date and time following this post. If you want to know why, please ask me before reverting to the old article. Thank you. Fléêťflämẽ U-T-C 03:17, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] anadromous fish
should be discussed. -Pete (talk) 02:16, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
- What aspect of anadromous fish are you talking about? If you mean to include that dams break up their migration, that's already in there. Please be more specific. Fléêťflämẽ U-T-C 02:39, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Changing to start class
This article needs formatted citations; {{citation}} or {{cite news}} etc. should make that an easy project. Impacts should be dealt with in a bit more depth too. I'm willing to help, but not right this sec :) -Pete (talk) 06:26, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
- Feel free to do anything, I'm not claiming ownership; I still plan to work on this, but I've been too busy lately. Fléêťflämẽ U-T-C 19:34, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Reversion of major changes
I am considering reverting most of the changes made by 12.167.37.241 on 29 April 2008. Those edits are sweeping, removing almost all previous content. The current revision is longer but of poorer quality: it diverges off the topic of environmental impact considerably, is completely unsourced, contains inaccuracies such as energy costs, and is not written in an encyclopedic style or tone (WP:SUMMARY).
The best option I can see right now is to simply revert the changes and make an attempt at adding back some good material from the editor. Would appreciate any help or feedback.--Ianml (talk) 19:43, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
